X
Xlatitigu. Language with similarities to the Omearan tongue (Hard Crash).
Y
Yanasa. One of the Pevvni Purists working for Reger Undlar to sabotage Ganitriul (Fatal Error).
Yarnallian architectural style. A type of architecture found on the planet Eerlik. By 2376, the style had fallen out of fashion, though some temples retain the design (Fatal Error).
Z
Zilder. Bolian pilot, owner and operator of the Culloden. Zilder was a worshipper of Ho’nig, the god of the Damiani. Commander Sonya Gomez wondered if he was the first non-Damiani to worship Ho’nig. Zilder was hired in 2376 by the Nalori Republic to provide services for the subspace accelerator project on the planet Sarindar (Invincible Book 1). He was killed by the second monster shii. After his death, he left his copy of the Se’rbeg, the holy words of Ho’nig, to Gomez and his ship to the Nalori Republic (Invincible Book 2).
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Born, raised, educated, and still residing in the Bronx, Keith R.A. DeCandido is the co-developer of Star Trek: S.C.E. with John J. Ordover, and he has written or co-written several eBooks in the series. Besides Fatal Error, Cold Fusion, and Invincible, he has also written Here There Be Monsters, and more of his S.C.E. scribblings will be available in electronic form in 2002 and 2003 (some also in collaboration with David Mack). Keith’s other Star Trek work includes the novels Star Trek: The Next Generation: Diplomatic Implausibility, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Demons of Air and Darkness, and the two-book cross-series tale Star Trek: The Brave & the Bold (coming in 2002), and the comic book Star Trek: The Next Generation: Perchance to Dream (reprinted in the trade paperback Enemy Unseen). He has also written best-selling novels, short stories, and nonfiction books in the worlds of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, Farscape, Marvel Comics, and Xena, and is the editor of the forthcoming anthology of original science fiction Imaginings. Learn more than you ever really needed to know about Keith on his Web site at the easy-to-remember URL of DeCandido.net.
Kevin Dilmore counts himself as very thankful for the person who tipped him off at age nine, to the fact that Star Trek was a live-action television show before it was a Saturday morning cartoon. A graduate of the University of Kansas, he works as news editor and “cops and courts” reporter for a twiceweekly newspaper in Paola, Kansas. Kevin also covers “nonfiction” aspects of the Star Trek universe as a contributing writer for Star Trek Communicator magazine, as well as the Internet site StarTrek.com. He is looking forward to his next writing project with Dayton Ward, the S.C.E. trilogy Foundations, to be published in 2002. Kevin always will be proud that the formula for transparent aluminum was devised by the user of a Macintosh computer.
David Mack is a writer whose work for Star Trek spans multiple media. With writing partner John J. Ordover, he co-wrote the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “Starship Down” and the story treatment for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “It’s only a Paper Moon.” David and John also penned the four-issue Star Trek: Deep Space Nine/Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover comic-book miniseries Divided We Fall. David’s solo writing for Star Trek includes the Star Trek: New Frontier Minipedia and the forthcoming Starfleet Survival Guide, as well as behind-the-scenes contributions to several Star Trek CD-ROM products. He and Keith R.A. DeCandido are working on another S.C.E. eBook as well.
Dayton Ward has been a fan of Star Trek since conception (his, not the show’s). After serving for eleven years in the U.S. Marine Corps, he discovered the private sector and the piles of cash to be made there as a software engineer. His start in professional writing came as a result of placing stories in each of the first three Star Trek: Strange New Worlds anthologies. In addition to co-writing Interphase, Dayton is also the author of the Star Trek Original Series novel, In the Name of Honor. He and Kevin Dilmore are also writing the forthcoming S.C.E. trilogy Foundations, to be published in eBook form in the summer of 2002. Though he currently lives in Kansas City with his wife, Michi, he is a Florida native and still maintains a torrid long-distance romance with his beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Feel free to contact Dayton anytime via e-mail at [email protected].
