Summary
Publisher's description
Star Trek has transcended science fiction through its use of elements that have crucial roles in classical utopian tradition. New technologies change a civilization, a miniature society unfolds on a spaceship, and an android teaches humanity. Star Trek has been answering many questions about our own world for 50+ years, and since the days of Captain Kirk, the franchise has become one of the world’s best-known cultural phenomena.
This book documents what the Star Trek franchise has in common with classic utopias. Chapters analyze how technology changes society and how the Federation embodies utopian ideals. Also explored are the political relations among alien species that reflect past and present conflicts in our real world and how the Borg resembles an anti-utopian society.

Summary
Blurb
In 1965, 18-year-old Persis Khambatta became the third woman to be crowned Miss India. After moving to England and then to the United States, she found worldwide fame in the first Star Trek movie in 1979, and in 1980 she became the first Indian presenter at the Academy Awards. The American film industry seemed never to forgive Khambatta for being a non-white woman who refused to do nude scenes. After failing to sustain a career as either a producer or a performer, she achieved a triumph before her sudden death in 1998 with the publication of her book Pride of India: A Tribute to Miss India. Based on contemporary news articles and primary sources, this first biography examines Khambatta's Hindi and English-language film and television work, and demonstrates the many ways she was ahead of her time as a filmmaker, feminist, and humanitarian.

The Burn shifted the orbit of Kwejian's moon, which changed the planet's tides and caused vast numbers of sea locusts to emerge from the ocean and devour the Kwejian harvest. Facing the starvation of millions, the Kwejian accepted a deal from the Emerald Chain to exchange their trance worms for a sea locust repellent. Kwejian scientists worked for years to find another way to deal with the locusts, without success.
In 3189, Emerald Chain leader Osyraa withheld the sea locust repellent to pressure Kyheem into delivering his brother Cleveland Booker to her. In response, the arrived at Kwejian and confronted Osyraa's flagship Viridian. Osyraa opened fire on the planet, but was ultimately forced to withdraw after the Viridian was disarmed by Booker's ship. The Discovery crew then devised a means to amplify the electromagnetic connection between the sea locusts, allowing Booker and Kyheem to combine their empathic abilities and persuade the swarm to return to the sea. ()
In 3190, a gravitational anomaly entered the Kwejian system and shattered Kwejian's moon, which then collided with the planet, destroying it and its inhabitants. The Federation attempted to locate survivors of the cataclysm but failed to find any other than Booker. () It later emerged that someone engineered what was now known as the Dark Matter Anomaly, meaning the Kwejian species had been the victims of genocide. ()
Biology
Kwejian physically resembled Humans. Infrequently, some of them exhibited the empathic ability to influence plants and animals; Booker described the appearance of such individuals in the gene pool as a result of "balance". Kwejian empaths activated their ability with a ritual chant, during which a glowing pattern appeared on their foreheads. The pattern could also appear in moments of strong emotion. ()
Kwejian had one heart, and adrenaline that acted in a similar manner to Humans. ()
Society and culture
The Kwejian resided in an area of their planet called the , which was protected by a sophisticated defense system and ruled by the Steward of the Sanctuary. Common Kwejian gestures of affection included clasping one another's forearms and touching their foreheads together. A gesture of goodbye was to touch their foreheads with the fingertips of the right hand, then turning that hand outward. Their language was written vertically. ()
The Kwejian had a coming-of-age ceremony called Ikhu Zhen where young Kwejians received an amulet filled with the sap of the World Root. ()

Introduction:
HOST: "Ah! The blood of my enemies is forever immortalized on my d'k tahg. I can still taste their final panicked screams. My death will be ecstasy.

282746 | http://s3.amazonaws.com/wikia_xml_dumps/e/en/enmemoryalpha_pages_current.xml.7z | Dulainian | The Dulainians were a technologically advanced humanoid species native to the planet Dulaine. They were characterized by orange skin and pale hair. ()
History
Due to their homeworld's ionically charged thermosphere blocking the use of transporters, the Dulainians built a series of orbital lifts to allow access to and from the surface.
In 2382, one of the orbital lifts malfunctioned. The hosted the stranded travelers while an away team consisting of Commander Jack Ransom, Lieutenant Commander Andy Billups, and Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Sam Rutherford was dispatched to effect repairs. Ransom, wanting to prove that Beckett would disobey his orders, deliberately assigned her and himself to the repairs and Billups and Rutherford to liaising with the Dulainians, despite the mismatch with their respective aptitudes.
After Billups and Rutherford unwittingly offended the Dulainian religion by entering a sacred hall with covered belly buttons, and were taken to the sentient volcano Morgo to be sacrificed, Ransom admitted his unprofessional motivations and, with their shuttle already dispatched to the surface, skydived with Mariner from the lift to intervene. Knowing that the Dulainians prized physical health above all, Ransom revealed his muscular physique to them, impressing their leaders enough for them to listen to his parley. ()
Society and culture
The Dulainians had a "wellness-based" society that held health as their highest calling. They accordingly valued exercise, evidenced by practices such as public wrestling displays and building climbing walls into their orbital lifts, and regarded superlative physical condition as a sign of wisdom. The Dulainians were also famed for their hospitality, wherein guests were pampered, adorned with flower garlands, and treated to dances, feasts, and drinking competitions. Instead of handshakes, they greeted each other by kissing with tongue.
Dulainian religion centered on Volcanic Lord Morgo, an ancient volcano god known as the "Navel of the Planet". Thus, the belly button was highly significant to Dulainian culture, appearing on their national symbol and as the means by which their spacesuits were activated. Dulainians dressed skimpily, leaving their midriffs bared; to enter a sacred hall with a covered belly button, particularly one that was an "outie", was a severe religious transgression. Such sinners were liable to be sacrificed to Morgo by being thrown into the lava within his summit crater.
Morgo was one of three co-leaders of the Dulainians, the other two in the late 24th century being Mendrick, a telepathic baby, and 355, a sentient computer. It was believed that having three rulers provided "a system of checks and balances". ()

As Kromsapiods respected life above all else, the hunt was strictly "catch and release" and non-lethal.
A Venarix hunt began when an individual accepted a Kromsapiod's request to be hunted. The Kromsapiod would pull out a tooth and use it to mark their prey's forehead with their blood. The prey was then given an hour's head start, during which the Kromsapiod prepared themselves with a ritual that included painting their face, readying their weapons, and inhaling vapor from special candles that reversed the color of their eyes. The hunt ended once the prey was incapacitated, after which the Kromsapiod would take selfies of them both to prove the "kill".
While he was being temporarily hosted aboard the in 2382, K'ranch asked Brad Boimler and D'Vana Tendi if either was willing to be hunted. Boimler, having earlier committed to himself to agree to everything, said yes without knowing the details. K'ranch proceeded to chase Boimler throughout the ship, and ultimately speared Boimler through the shoulder when the latter attempted to "become the hunter". With the hunt completed, K'ranch complimented Boimler on being excellent prey and gave him some pointers before Boimler passed out. ()
