) |Gail Strickland |rowspan="2"| Paradise (DS9) |- |colspan="2"| Technophobic leader of a colony that settled on planet Orellius in 2360. Alixus was a philosopher and a prolific writer who felt that technology was the undoing of modern society. Her group had originally planned to colonize planet Gemulon V, but a systems malfunction forced their transport ship, the S.S. Santa Maria, to land on Orellius. It was not learned until ten years later that Alixus had planned the forced landing in order to establish a society that conformed to her ideals. Alixus had selected Orellius because it was far from shipping lanes, and even went so far as to create a duonetic field around the colony site, to make it impossible for her followers to use any advanced technology. Although many of her followers seemed happy with this way of life, Alixus was responsible for several deaths because she also rejected any form of technologically-based medicine. After her colony was accidentally discovered in 2370 by Benjamin Sisko and Miles O'Brien, Alixus and her son, Vinod, were taken into custody for having permitted these deaths. |- |rowspan="2"| No pic |Altovar () | |rowspan="2"| Distant Voices (DS9) |- |colspan="2"| Lethean criminal who was caught stealing bio-mimetic gel from the Deep Space Nine infirmary in 2371. Dr. Julian Bashir was attacked by Altovar during the theft. |- |rowspan="2"| No pic |Aluura () | |rowspan="2"| Profit and Lace (DS9) |- |colspan="2"| A beautiful Dabo girl who worked at Quark's in 2374. Quark threatened to fire her if she didn't perform oo-mox. |- |rowspan="2"| No pic |Kiaphet Amman'sor () |None |rowspan="2"| |- |colspan="2"| A female aquatic of the multi-species race Xindi. She is a member of the Ibix dynasty, a wealthy and powerful aquatic family. Kiaphet is also the head aquatic in the Xindi Council. She is always seen in a tank that ajoins the Council chamber.

For a long time, Kiaphet and her mate were against building the Xindi weapon. They were convinced when the Sphere Builders showed what they claimed was video footage from the future. It showed mankind destroying the Xindi's new homeworld.

Kiaphet, for the next few years, tried to hold the Council together while convincing it that the weapon was necessary. When Captain Archer confronted the Council to convince them not to launch the weapon, Kiaphet believed that they should take his testimony into account. |- |rowspan="2"| No pic |Anya () |Paddi Edwards |rowspan="2"| The Dauphin (TNG) |- |colspan="2"| A shapeshifting allasomorph native to the third moon of Daled IV who served as guardian of the planet's leader, Salia, while she was being transported on the Enterprise-D. To the Enterprise crew, Anya assumed the form of an older human woman; her intrinsic appearance is unknown. |- |rowspan="2"| Not seen on screen |Robert April () |None |rowspan="2"| None |- |colspan="2"| First captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 during its initial five-year mission. April, later a commodore, was succeeded by Captain Christopher Pike. |- |rowspan="2"| No pic |Ardra () | |rowspan="2"| Devil's Due (TNG) |- |colspan="2"| According to the theology of Ventax II, Ardra was a mythic being from the distant past who promised the population a thousand years of prosperity, followed by enslavement upon her return at the end of that epoch. In 2367, a female con artist was unmasked by Enterprise-D personnel after deceiving the Ventaxians into believing she was the deity by using technology to mimic various phenomena believed to herald Ardra's return. |- |rowspan="2"| 100px |Armus () |None |rowspan="2"| Skin of Evil (TNG) |- |colspan="2"| Sentient oil slick that killed Tasha Yar. |- |rowspan="2"| No pic |Dr. Arridor () |Dan Shor |rowspan="2"| The Price (TNG)

False Profits (VOY) |- |colspan="2"| Member of a Ferengi delegation sent to negotiate for the rights to the Barzan wormhole in 2366. Dr. Arridor was responsible for the distillation of a Ferengi pyrocyte which DaiMon Goss used to poison the Federation ambassador, Dr. Mendoza. Dr. Arridor was one of the crew of the Ferengi shuttle sent to investigate the Barzan wormhole; he was lost in the distant Delta Quadrant when one terminus of the wormhole changed location. Arridor and Kol became stranded in the Delta Quadrant when the other terminus of the Barzan wormhole also changed position. The two crash-landed on the Takarian homeworld and assumed the role of the Great Sages from Takarian mythology. In 2373, the U.S.S. Voyager happened upon the planet and forced Arridor and Kol to leave. When they attempted to return to the Takarian planet, their shuttle was pulled into the Barzan wormhole by a gravitational eddy. Their actions knocked the wormhole off of its subspace axis so that both of its endpoints jumped around erratically. The fate of Arridor and the shuttle remains unknown. |- |rowspan="2"| 100px |Jeremy Aster () |Gabriel Damon |rowspan="2"| The Bonding (TNG) |- |colspan="2"| Human civilian, orphaned when his mother, Marla Aster, an officer aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise-D was killed in 2366 on an away mission. Aster's father had died five years earlier due to Rushton infection.

A race of non-corporeal beings known as the Koinonians with remarkable abilities were inadvertently responsible for the death of his mother, and sought to recreate facsimiles of Aster's mother and his Earth home.

Initially preferring to accept the false reality, Aster eventually accepted the truth and became an honorary member of Enterprise-D officer Worf's family, through a Klingon bonding ritual known as R'uustai. After the incident, Aster returned to Earth to live with an Aunt and Uncle.

|- |rowspan="2"| No pic |Azetbur () |Rosana DeSoto | |- |colspan="2"| Daughter of Klingon Chancellor Gorkon, Azetbur ascended to the chancellorship herself when her father was assassinated in 2293.

Azetbur accompanied her father on a journey to Earth to initiate peace talks between the Klingon Empire and the Federation. At the invitation of Captain James T. Kirk, she came aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise-A, the escort ship, for a diplomatic dinner along with the rest of the Klingon delegation. During this awkward social occasion, she expressed her dismay that the Federation seemed to be a "Homosapiens-only club," and exposed such rhetoric as "inalienable human rights" as being inherently racist.

Her father was murdered shortly thereafter, and she was named Chancellor of the High Council in his place. Determined to continue Gorkon's initiatives, she carried through with the peace conference, choosing to hold it on the neutral planet of Khitomer, rather than on Earth. But she also refused to extradite Kirk and Dr. McCoy, who were arrested and tried for the murder of Gorkon. Then, she bluntly told the Federation President that any attempt to rescue them would be considered an act of war. This, in spite of her private feelings that war was obsolete.

At the Khitomer conference, Azetbur gave an impassioned speech, lauding her father for being an idealist, and the Klingons for being a proud race who intend to go on being so. She was a potential target for assassination herself, until Kirk and the Enterprise crew exposed the conspiracy responsible for her father's death, a conspiracy involving Klingons, Romulans, and Federation personnel.

In response, Azetbur announced before the conference that Kirk had restored her father's faith.
