Planet that was the home to the Karis Tribe. (“Sacred colony which was destroyed by the Husnock in 2361.

Planet on which Dr. Beverly Crusher did her medical name of Kevin Uxbridge, used his enormous powers to destroy internship under Dr. Dalen Quaice in 2352. (“Remember Me" the entire Husnock race in retribution. Later, Uxbridge remained [TNG]) in self-imposed isolation on Delta Rana IV. Delta Rana IV has three moons. (“The Survivors” [TNG]), Delos. Star system in which two inhabited planets are located, Ornara and Brekka. The star Delos underwent a period of large: Delta Rana star system. Planetary system. The location of scale magnetic field changes in 2364. The Enterprise-D was planet Delta Rana IV. (“The Survivors” [TNG]) assigned to study the phenomenon and accidentally became embroiled in an ongoing dispute between the two planets. Delta Vega. Distant Class-M planet near the galaxy's edge “Symbiosis” [TNG]) Location of an automated lithium cracking station. Captain James Kirk attempted to maroon the mutated Gary Mitchell Delovian souffle. An ice-cream-like dessert served by Guinan in there in 2265 because, while habitable, the planet was visited the Ten-Forward Lounge aboard the Enterprise-D. (“The Child” only every 20 years by cargo freighters. (“Where No Man Has [TNG]) Gone Before" [TOS]). The matte painting used to establish the huge exterior of the Delta Vega lithium cracking station was done Delphi Ardu. Planetary system in which was located the last out by noted visual effects artist Albert Whitlock. The painting was post of the now-defunct Tkon Empire. The Starship Enterprise-D later modified and re-used as the surface portion of the Tantalus and a Ferengi Marauder spacecraft were detained there by the penal colony in “Dagger of the Mind" (TOS) Tkon outpost in 2364 when the Federation made first contact with both the Ferengi and the surviving Tkon outpost.

Gamma Delta ¢ J Quadrant Quadrant delta radiation. Form of hazardous energy. Fleet Captain Christopher Pike suffered severe delta-ray exposure following an accident aboard a class-J training ship in 2266. (“The Menagerie, Part I” [TOS]). Delta radiation emitted from a star can interfere with a ship's sensors, as when the Rio Grande searched for the downed Yangtzee Kiang in the Gamma Quadrant ir 2369. (“Battle Lines" [DS9])

delta wave frequency. Energy pattern. The bio-electric field generated by Bothan ships used delta wave frequencies (“Persistence of Vision" [VGR])

delta wave inducer. Medical instrument used to induce sleep (“Invasive Procedures” [DS9])

delta-series radioisotopes. Category of radioactive elements that are toxic to humans. In 2371, Deep Space 9 Chief of Operations Miles O’Brien accidentally received a dose of delta[ series radioisotopes. The quantum singularity in the engine of a ( nearby Romulan warbird affected the radioisotopes in O'Brien's Alpha Beta body, causing him to timeshift into the future several times Quadrant Quadrant (“Visionary [DS9))
