Starfleet personnel (illusory)

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Since the founding of Starfleet, there have been a variety of situations where personnel have been created in illusion and/or facsimile by various sources.

[edit] Named

[edit] Data

The illsuion of Data

An illusion of Data was created by Nagilum to try and persuade Jean-Luc Picard not to auto-destruct the USS Enterprise-D after Picard decided to do so, when Nagilum threatened to kill a third of the ship's crew in order to completely understand death. (TNG: "Where Silence Has Lease")

The illusory Data was portrayed by Brent Spiner.


[edit] Jadzia Dax

The illusory Jadzia Dax

An illusion of Jadiza Dax was created by aliens who were on a mission of exploration and had followed a ship through the wormhole to Deep Space 9. They wanted to learn more about humanoids and became interested in the concept of imagination. The image was processed from Doctor Julian Bashir's memories and imagination. The illusory Jadzia Dax was madly in love with Julian Bashir. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses")

The illusory Dax was played by Terry Farrell.


[edit] Mitena Haro

The illusion of Mitena Haro

Mitena Haro was the assumed name of an alien in the guise of a Bolian female who, along with two others aliens, kidnapped others as part of an experiment to study the nature of authority, which was a concept unknown to them.

As Haro, the alien claimed to be a first year cadet at Starfleet Academy. (TNG: "Allegiance")

Haro was played by actress Joycelyn O'Brien.
It was unclear if the aliens had copied a real Mitena Haro, of if she was made up by them.


[edit] Christopher Pike

On Talos IV, Captain Christopher Pike existed in facsimile, created in the mind of Vina by the Talosians, after Pike left that world in 2254. (TOS: "The Cage")

Like the real Pike, this one was played by Jeffrey Hunter.


[edit] Deanna Troi

The illusion of Deanna Troi

An illusion of Deanna Troi was created by Nagilum to persuade Captain Picard not to auto-destruct the Enterprise-D after Picard decided to do so, so that Nagilum could not perform any more experiments on the crew. (TNG: "Where Silence Has Lease")

The illusory Deanna Troi was portrayed by Marina Sirtis.


[edit] Worf

An illusion of Worf appeared when Bashir and Miles O'Brien linked minds with the dying Luther Sloan via a multitronic engrammatic interpreter in order to find a cure for Odo's illness which was created by Section 31. (TNG: "Extreme Measures")

The illusory Worf was portrayed by Michael Dorn.


[edit] Anaanda Ziff

It is uncertain whether Anaanda Ziff actually existed, as her appearance occurred during a dream sequence. (TNG: "Eye of the Beholder")

[edit] Unnamed

[edit] Starfleet Officer at Orion colony

A Starfleet officer created in Pike's mind by Talosians

A Starfleet officer encountered by Captain Pike in a Talosian illusion simulating the Orion colonies. The officer was wearing a dress jacket Starfleet uniform, colored operations division beige. This officer was quite taken by the illusionary version of Vina, portrayed as a Orion slave girl. (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part II")

This unnamed Starfleet officer was played by actor Robert Phillips.


[edit] Uhura's Crewman

The M-113 creature in the form of a Starfleet crewman

A crewman encountered by Uhura, an image created by the M-113 creature. (TOS: "The Man Trap")

The crewman was played by Vince Howard.


[edit] Ferengi Ensign

A Ferengi Ensign in Barash's virtual reality

In a virtual reality created by Barash in 2367, this Ferengi ensign served at the conn station on the USS Enterprise-D in 2383. (TNG: "Future Imperfect")

Riker, in the virtual reality, comments on the unlikelihood of a Ferengi ensign, though Nog became an ensign for real just seven years later in DS9: "Favor the Bold". The Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives his name as Prot.


[edit] Wounded Crew Member

A badly burned crew member

In a brainwashing scenario devised by Suna at the Tilonus Institute for Mental Disorders, Commander Riker witnessed this badly-burned officer being brought to sickbay after a plasma torch blew up right in his hands. (TNG: "Frame of Mind")

The wounded officer was played by Allan Dean Moore.
