Lilliputians were a fictional species of tiny Humans from the novel Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.

Captain James T. Kirk referred to the Terratin city composed of Spiroid epsilon wave-shrunken Humans, in his Captain's Log, as a "Lilliputian city." (TAS: "The Terratin Incident")

In 2365, Riker evidently considered an Atlec vessel to be akin to Lilliputians, as he commented that the USS Enterprise-D being threatened by Debin's comparatively inferior craft had "shades of Gulliver's Travels." (TNG: "The Outrageous Okona")

Captain Jean-Luc Picard admitted that he felt like Gulliver bound by the Lilliputians when the Enterprise-D was under attack by nanites in 2366. (TNG: "Evolution")
