| Maizie series | |
|---|
|
|---|
Maizie series is a type of android from a planet where Harry Mudd ended up when a ship he stole from Deneb V was damaged by the authorities in 2267. The Maizie series was made to Harry Mudd's personal specifications. The body is covered with a self-renewing plastic over a skeleton of beryllium-titanium alloy. None of the android bodies has ever worn out. The estimated duration of the model is 500,000 years. Medi-robots are able to place a human brain within a structurally compatible android body. The androids found humans flawed, and intended to control mankind by serving them. Each android mind is one component of a mass brain linked through a central locus. This is Norman. The Androids said the Makers created them. The Makers were from the Andromeda galaxy. They were humanoid, and robots were common in their civilization. They performed service functions and freed their Makers to evolve a perfect social order. Their home planet's sun went nova and only a few exploratory outposts survived. The Makers all died over the stretch of time. They wouldn't let Harry go. They wanted to study him. Harry declared himself Mudd the First, ruler of the planet. He ordered Norman, the leader of the androids, to get a ship for him. Norman commandeered the U.S.S. Enterprise and brought them to the planet. The crew of the Enterprise, led by Captain Kirk disabled the androids with illogic. The androids were reprogrammed to back to their original purpose which was to adapt the planet for productive use. Mudd was paroled to the android population. He was looked after by 500 androids that look like his wife Stella. (TOS: I, Mudd)

| Metagenic weapon | |
|---|
|
|---|
Sophisticated biological weapon using genetically engineerde viruses, designed to destroy any form of DNA. These viruses can mutate rapidly and are believed to destroy entire ecosystems within days. After a certain ammount of time the metagenic agent itself dies, having destroyed all biological life on a planetary scale, while leaving all technological aspects of a culture intact.
Because of the extreme danger of these eapons, treaties were established to ban their use, and all of the major powers of the period, including the Federation, the Ferengi, and the Romulans, agreed to the ban.
