Question by CmdrK

Answer: Annorax

Annorax built the time ship as a weapon, which he used to remove the Zahl from history. By doing so, however, the Zahl did not exist to prevent a plague from spreading through the Krenim race which killed Annorax's wife. Annorax had therefore spent over 200 years trying to bring her back to life.

Annorax was played by Kurtwood Smith, who also played the role of the Federation President in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country".

Question by reedy

Answer: Alyssa

Vice Admiral Necheyev had the first name Alynna. Amelia Earhart was one of "The 37s" in "Star Trek: Voyager" and Amanda was the name of Spock's mother.

The "TNG" episode "Lower Decks" is not shown from the viewpoint of the senior staff.

In this episode Alyssa Ogawa is one of four crew members who are up for a promotion and achieves the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade.
