Kyd is also assumed to have used it in his lost Hamlet (the so-called Ur-Hamlet).

Little is established about McCoy's biography in official Star Trek canon. However, fans and writers of the original series have conjectured some facts about the character, which are generally accepted. They suggest that Leonard McCoy was born in 2227 and attended the University of Mississippi from 2245 to 2249 and medical school from 2249 to 2253. A backstory, developed by Star Trek writer D.C. Fontana but not used in the series, speculates that Leonard McCoy was married shortly before obtaining his medical degree. Starting a private practi ...

The transporter was invented in the early 22nd century by noted scientist Dr. Emory Erickson, who became the first human to be successfully transported according to the episode "Daedalus" (ENT). It is implied, however, that the devices were widely used for the purpose of shipping cargo before they were ever "approved" for human use. Further experiments in 2139 led to Erickson's son, Quinn Erickson, being transformed into an "energy being" that was suspended in space until he was recovered by his father on board the starship Enterprise (NX-01) in ...

Whilst sailing's invention is prehistoric, racing sailing boats is believed to have started in the Netherlands some time in the 17th century, whence it soon made its way to England where custom-built racing "yachts" began to emerge. In 1851, a challenge to an American yacht racing club in New York led to the beginning of the America's Cup, a regatta won by the New York Yacht Club until 1983, when they finally lost to Australia II. Meanwhile, yacht racing continued to evolve, with the development of recognised classes of r ...

Jonathan Archer, Captain of the Starship Enterprise, is not particularly fond of the Ambassador as he appeared to play a major role in the Vulcan discouragement of Earth's deep space program. He even went so far as to object to Archer's command of the Enterprise. Soval placed T'Pol on board the Enterprise (possibly to hinder what he viewed as the illogical humans), but T'Pol became one of Archer's most trusted officers. Soval continued his criticism of Enterprise's mission, particularly after the crew, along with a group ...
