| Melora Pazlar | Daphne Ashbrook | Melora (DS9) |

Pazlar came to the station before a mapping mission to the Gamma Quadrant. Because the gravity on DS9 was too strong for her, she had to rely on either a wheelchair, or an exoskeletal network of flexible metal beams worn over her body to help her move around the station. Doctor Julian Bashir devised a treatment to help her walk like the other humanoids on the station. Pazlar started the treatment, but when she realized that she wouldn't be able to enjoy low-gravity environments any more, she decided to discontinue the process. The character was originally developed to be the regular science officer on the series. However, logistics made it difficult to use the effects required on a regular basis, and the character was used as a guest appearance instead. | ||

| He commanded the Praetor's flagship Bird-of-Prey in destructive attacks against Federation outposts 2, 3, 4 and 8 along the Romulan Neutral Zone in 2266. His mission was to test Starfleet defenses after more than a century of no contact, as well as the effectiveness of the Romulans' new cloaking system and plasma weapon. His was the first Romulan face ever "officially" seen by Starfleet officers. He proved to be a match for Captain James T. Kirk, even though he privately detested provoking the Federation and risking another war for the Romulan Star Empire. When Kirk finally defeated him, he refused any rescue attempt because it was not the "Romulan way." Instead, he self-destructed his own ship. | ||
| Romulan Commander | Joanne Linville | The Enterprise Incident (TOS) |
| She commanded three Romulan warships that captured the Enterprise after it "strayed" into Romulan space in 2269. She was also responsible for the loss of the "new and improved" cloaking device after Kirk and Spock "played" her. She ended up aboard the Enterprise as a prisoner/guest. Although not named in the script or the finished episode, she "whispered" her name to Spock during his time aboard her flagship. | ||

| Romulan Commander | Maurice Roëves | The Chase (TNG) |
| He commanded a Romulan Warbird that, while cloaked, followed the Enterprise-D and two Cardassian warships to a planet in the Vilmoran system. On the surface, he witnessed the holographic message from a humanoid who claimed that her race seeded the primordial oceans of many worlds with ancient DNA, thereby suggesting that humans, Klingons, Vulcans/Romulans and Cardassians are all related. Before leaving the planet, the Commander contacted Picard and admitted that, perhaps, their people were not so dissimilar after all.[16] | ||
| Romulan Commander | Lou Scheimer | The Practical Joker (TAS) |
| In 2269, he commanded three D7-class battle cruisers, which hid behind a Type-4 asteroid and ambushed the Enterprise as she approached. The commander claimed that the Enterprise had trespassed into Romulan territory and that he was forced to defend it. He also said that the invasion of Romulan territory was punishable by death. Later, when the Enterprise released a larger decoy balloon of itself, the commander pursued it at attack speed. After destroying it easily and learning that he'd been tricked, he was so furious that he followed the real Enterprise into Federation territory, hoping to destroy it. In so doing, he entered a strange energy field in space, and when his ships' instrumentation was rendered useless, he decided to vacate the field before his ships broke up. He ordered a course set for home. However, brief passage through the field caused his food synthesizers to malfunction. He and his crew were "knee deep in desserts" when last heard from.[17] | ||
| Romulan Commander | Peter Vogt | Tin Man (TNG) |
| He commanded the second Romulan Warbird that was sent to make first contact with Tin Man. However, after learning of the first Warbird's destruction by Tin Man, he warned Picard not to interfere with his new mission to destroy the "star creature". | ||
| Romulan Crewman | Norm Prescott | The Practical Joker (TAS) |
| He served on the Romulan flagship in 2269. When the Enterprise released a larger decoy balloon of itself, the crewman attempted radio contact, but received no reply. Later, when the flagship was pursuing the real Enterprise through a strange energy field in space, he noted that his instruments were useless and that he'd lost contact with the Federation starship. (In his novelization of "The Practical Joker" in Star Trek Log Six, Alan Dean Foster named this character "Varpa".) | ||

After the formation of the Genesis Planet, she was reassigned to the USS Grissom, a science vessel sent to study the new world. She was marooned there with David Marcus and a young, "regenerated" Spock. She and Spock survived the ordeal and traveled to Vulcan aboard a Klingon Bird-of-Prey captured by Admiral Kirk and crew.

| They were an ancient race who destroyed themselves in a power struggle; six of them survived as energy spheres with telepathic imprints inside a containment field. A Klingon ship captured the spheres thinking they were an energy weapon; the spheres instead infected the crew to reenact the power struggle and caused the Klingon Captain to self destruct his own ship after emerging from the wormhole outside Deep Space Nine. DS9 beams the dying Klingon on board the Space Station which results in the staff of DS9 being infected by the spheres. Odo manipulates both sides into a cargo bay. There, Odo activates Bashir's cure, and a purple gas-like cloud emerges from the officers, who regain their senses. Odo opens the cargo bay doors, venting the cloud into space destroying the spheres and removing the telepathic imprint permanently. After everyone is back to normal, the only reminder for Sisko is a Saltah'na clock. | ||

| Noonien Soong | Brent Spiner | Brothers (TNG) recurring thereafter |
| Human cyberneticist who created Data, also played by Brent Spiner. Soong has created three complete androids in the known Star Trek universe, Data, Lore, and a Gynoid replica of his dead wife Juliana, which is technically superior to his previous models, as well as three prototype androids including B-4 (in the same design as Data and Lore). Early in Dr. Soong's career he was widely hailed as Earth's foremost robotic scientist, but he became a recluse after apparently failing to create a positronic brain and was thought to have been killed with other colonists on Omicron Theta. The scientist actually settled on Terlina III and summoned Data there to fit him with his final invention, an emotion chip. He inadvertently also summoned Data's brother, Lore, who attacked him after obtaining the chip. Soong survived, but was nearing death and elected to remain on Terlina rather than go aboard the Enterprise for medical care. The one thing that kept defeating Dr Soong was how to make an workable emotion response software for his android "sons." Lore was activated with emotional responses but had to be disassembled when he began to turn evil; Data was made without emotions. Soong had planned to reassemble Lore to find out what went wrong but was forced to flee for his life. Data tried to make a Gynoid daughter named Lal using his own positronic brain circuitry. However, like Lore, Lal had to be turned off because she had had positronic brain collapse due to the sudden emotional responses. Ironically, after 25 years, Dr Soong perfected an emotion chip built for Data, but Lore stole it and became insane. When Data was forced to kill Lore ("Descent") the emotion chip was damaged; Data considered destroying the chip but later implanted it in his positronic brain. However even repaired the chip was flawed-the emotions caused Data Positronic net to behave erratically (Star Trek: Generations); Data learned to control his emotions. Doubly Ironic is the fact that When Data was killed when he sacrificed himself, the only part left of him was the emotion chip ("Nem"); of the four androids constructed by Dr Soong the only one to experience emotions without any problems was the gynoid replica of his wife Julianna-and only because he managed to transfer the synamitic responses of his dying wife to the gynoid instead of creating an emotion chip. In the Star Trek The Next Generation episode "Unification", Data and Mr. Spock try to break an Romulan encryption code; Spock remarks that Data with his intellect unclouded by emotion he has achieved what Vulcans have aspire to: Data on his part remarks on how Spock has chosen not to feel the hidden emotions he has while Data despite being an android has tried to feel emotion. The name "Noonien" was first used in the Star Trek: The Original Series 1st-season episode "Space Seed" as the middle name of the antagonist Khan Noonien Singh. Gene Roddenberry used the name because he had lost touch with an old friend (Noonien Wang or Noonien Singh[23]) and hoped that Wang might see the episode and contact him. Roddenberry was still trying to find Wang in the late-80s when Star Trek: The Next Generation began so he decided to use "Noonien" once again as the name of Data's creator.[24] | ||

If found, then it would threaten the legitimacy of the Vulcan High Command and have an enormous impact on the Vulcan people. When Syrran met Jonathan Archer and T'Pol in Vulcan's Forge, he introduced himself as Arev, which means "desert wind." Syrran was killed soon afterward by an electrical discharge during a sand-fire storm, but before he died, he transferred Surak's katra to Archer. | ||
