List of Star Trek characters: N-S


This article lists characters of Star Trek in their various canonical incarnations. This includes fictional major characters and fictional minor characters created for Star Trek, fictional characters not originally created for Star Trek, and real-life persons appearing in a fictional manner, such as holodeck recreations.

Bajoran characters are listed by family name, which is stated first.

Joined Trills are listed by the name of the symbiont, which replaces the family name.

In fan literature of the Star Trek Expanded Universe, Fleet Admiral Nogura is said to be an old friend of the Kirk family who served with James Kirk's father.

Nogura's given name is "Heihachiro" in the novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, authored by Gene Roddenberry, and the novels Enterprise, detailing the first days of Kirk's command, and The Lost Years, showing the end of the five-year mission. Also in the movie novelization, Nogura is identified as the "Commanding Admiral" of Starfleet.

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.

Little is known about Pike's personal life. According to dialog in "The Cage", Pike is from the city of Mojave in North America on Earth in Southern California, and at one point owned a horse named "Tango."
