A series of books in the so-called [[Star Trek Novel Verse]]. Jumping off slightly before the end of ''[[Star Trek Nemesis]]'', ''[[Star Trek: Titan]]'' is the story of Captain William T. Riker's first command, the ''Luna''-class starship ''Titan'', on a mission of exploration through the Orion Arm of the Milky Way. The ''Titan'' has one of the most diverse crews in Starfleet history, and the cast features many unusual aliens, including plenty of non-humanoids.
The series currently has eight entries;
Line 8:
* ''Orion's Hounds''.
* ''Sword of Damocles''.
* ''[[Star Trek Destiny]]'': This is a [[Crisis Crossover]] with the ''[[Star Trek:
* ''Over a Torrent Sea''.
* ''Synthesis''.
* ''Seize the Fire'', the [[Star Trek: Titan]] entry in the [[Star Trek: Typhon Pact]] series.
The next novel will be released in the latter part of 2012.
Line 27:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: The Chandir species is an [[Ascended Extra]] race. They are based on background aliens who never got a name onscreen, and were previously known only as “tailheads” due to their distinctive appearance.
* [[The Atoner]]: Possibly Cardassian cadet Zurin Dakal, to a limited extent. Jaza Najem worries that Dakal is either trying to be this, or unfairly assuming other people are relating to him as though he is. Jaza assures him that no-one on the crew thinks any less of him simply due to the past actions of other Cardassians. In ''Sword of Damocles'', though, there's some evidence that this isn't entirely true.
* [[Bait and Switch Tyrant]]: Admiral Akaar is an [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]], all set up for a [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]] storyline. The [[Star Trek:
* [[Beast of Battle]]: The Squales in ''Over A Torrent Sea'' use bio-engineered life-forms in place of technology, a necessity on their aquatic, largely metal-less planet. Among these life-forms are several which can be adapted into a [[Beast of Battle]], though they probably weren't designed to be such. One is an "ice-breaker" creature with a long, serrated snout.
* [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]: The Orishans, a sapient example. Then of course there's crewman K'chak'!'op.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: ''Sword of Damocles''.
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: Syrath, of which Dr. Cethente is a member, are crystalline life-forms who can regenerate themselves from only small pieces. This is due to their non-centralized anatomy. It has the result of making them effectively immortal, if subject to personality change depending on how much original material is left over from an accident.
** The squales in ''Over a Torrent Sea'' have four sexes, as do Andorians, the latter having been revealed in the [[Star Trek Deep Space Nine
** Selkies like Aili Lavena undergo a metamorphosis from amphibious breeder to fully aquatic adult part way through their lives.
** Seleneans and their linking spines, with which they communicate chemically. Plus their original "battle-morph" forms, which they shift to when under threat (see: [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]).
Line 77:
* [[Glory Hound]]: The Fethetrit, whose major "contribution" to the Great Hounding appears to be getting in everyone's way with their insane belligerence and thoughtless pursuit of prey.
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: According to the Pa'haquel, the so-called "vampire cloud" from an episode of the Original Series was a bio-engineered weapon that ran amok.
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: The {{spoiler|Neyel}}, who started out as human, {{spoiler|but re-engineered themselves to better survive in space}}. They first appeared in [[Star Trek:
* [[Heaven]]: Endless Sky is the Efrosian equivalent.
* [[Heavyworlder]]: The S'ti'ach, who resemble metre-high four-armed blue teddy bears, but are denser than they appear. In early books they are said to be superdense, but in a later book a S'ti'ach character points out the perils of having a lot of mass on a high gravity world. Apparently, this is a rumour spread by the S'ti'ach themselves; they're aware of how cute they look to humanoids, and want to discourage attempts to pick them up and cuddle them.
