Beverages
Synthehol
Synthehol is an artificial substitute for alcohol in the fictional Star Trek universe's 24th century. It allows the drinker to experience intoxicating effects without any adverse after-effects such as hangovers; according to Lieutenant Commander Data, synthehol's "intoxicating effects can be easily dismissed" (TNG: "Relics").
In Star Trek fandom and certain non-canonical novels published by Pocket Books, it is conjectured that synthehol was invented by the Ferengi. For example, a character in the TNG novel Reunion by Michael Jan Friedman refers to synthehol in a throwaway line as "Ferengi bug juice." Another TNG novel, Strike Zone by Peter David, gives a backstory to the assertion: supposedly, the Ferengi originally used synthehol to facilitate less-than-legitimate business dealings by secretly consuming synthehol while their "mark" drank actual alcohol, thus allowing a Ferengi to take advantage of their inebriated victim. Once the secret of synthehol was revealed, the Ferengi were intially upset over the loss of such an advantage, but they soon discovered that the demand for synthehol as a legitimate beverage more than compensated for the illicit profits lost.
Food replicators aboard Starfleet starships produce synthehol substitutions by default when requests for alcohol are made. In particular, the beverages served in Ten-Forward aboard the are almost exclusively syntheholic. However, bartender Guinan keeps a supply of real alcohol, including Saurian brandy, under the counter ("Relics").
Quark serves synthehol alongside real alcohol in his bar aboard Deep Space Nine.
While synthehol has few or no adverse effect on most humanoid species in the Star Trek universe, it does have unpleasant side effects on some species. Former Borg Seven of Nine's Borg implants are unable to break down an important synthehol protein, causing her to suffer hangover-like symptoms so severe that she requires medical treatment (Voy: "Timeless"). Synthehol similarly affects the Kadi (Voy: "Someone to Watch Over Me").
Captain Jean-Luc Picard's brother Robert, a winemaker, says that synthehol has ruined Jean-Luc's palate. However, Jean-Luc feels it allows him to better appreciate real wines (TNG: "Family").
Alterian
*Alterian 'water'
Andorian
*Andorian Brandy
Bajoran
*Springwine
Betazoid
*Tulaberry wine
Cardassian
*Kanar - an alcoholic beverage seen in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It is a dark, viscous liquid seen served in tall, twisting glass bottles. It was also shown in a different bottle in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Wounded", in which the beverage is light purple in color.
Ferengi
*Slugo-Cola
*Starduster
Haliian
*Muskin seed punch
Klingon
*Blood Wine (in Klingon, 'Iw HIq blood alcohol) - an alcoholic beverage renowned for its flavor and potency. It has been mentioned that Blood Wine is more than twice as strong as Earth whisky. Few non-Klingons drink Blood Wine because of its potency. Klingons often drink Blood Wine or Mot'loch (Another type of Klingon alcohol) when celebrating the Klingon Day of Honor, or after a battle and while trading war stories. It is not unusual for friends to share a bottle. Klingons expect their Blood Wine to be served warm. Blood Wine can be bottled, but for large celebrations, it is usually served directly from the barrel. It is also believed to make one extremely aggressive. Traditionally, it is served in a metal cup. The 2309 vintage of Blood Wine is universally accepted to be the finest.
Whether Blood Wine actually contains blood has never been established in the Star Trek canon. Since some Spanish wines have "Sangre" (blood) in their names, it is possible the Blood Wine contains no blood. (At least one canon source states that it is made from "blood root" and contains no blood, that it is descriptive only concerning the color. Another says it either is or contains the product of some Ha'DIbaH (Animal) after consuming blood, rather than actual blood.) In the computer game "Klingon Academy" a first officer does, however, threaten to use the chief medical officer's blood for his dinner wine if the captain should die under his care. (This, however, is likely just an expression.)
The character Worf preferred Blood Wine that was "young and sweet." He also managed to program a version of the wine onto the replicators on the Enterprise D.
According to the Star Trek Cookbook, the "Blood Wine" used for shooting was made of grape or cranberry juice, with berry residue and partially congealed Jell-O added to simulate clotting.
*Raktajino (Klingon coffee)
*Klingon fire wine
*Chech'tluth (a strong spirit)
*Klingon tea (which can be lethal to humans if prepared improperly; it is not guaranteed safe to Klingons)
Maraltian
*Maraltian seev-ale
Modelan
*Modela aperitif
Romulan
*Romulan Ale - a blue ale and particularly strong alcoholic beverage. It is either nearly or just as strong as certain Klingon beverages. Those who drink Romulan ale for the first time are advised about the strength of that beverage. According to the Star Trek Cookbook, the Romulan ale used for shooting was actually Glacier Freeze Gatorade with seltzer.
*Kali-fal - a blue drink with an aroma that should forcibly open one's frontal sinuses before the first sip. Some sources believe Kali-fal to be the proper Romulan name for Romulan ale due to their similar appearance.
For many years, Romulan ale had been illegal in the Federation. How rigorously the laws were enforced is a matter of debate. Many Starfleet officers and Federation civilians continued to drink the ale despite its forbidden status due to ships smuggling ale across the Romulan Neutral Zone.
When the (NCC-1701-A) initially met with the Klingons before the First Khitomer Accords, the ship had been carrying a supply of Romulan ale. The ale was used during a banquet between Chancellor Gorkon's staff and the Enterprise command crew. It had the effect of loosening the inhibitions of those at the dinner, and the dinner nearly degenerated into a full blown argument. As a result, Captain Kirk advised the galley that Romulan ale was to no longer be served at diplomatic functions. The illegality of carrying the ale aboard a Starfleet ship was later used to attack Kirk's credibility during his Klingon show trial. In contrast, Romulan ale was served to Federation and Romulan representatives during a diplomatic function on board the in 2375. Some Starfleet officers, such as Admiral William Ross, had never drunk Romulan ale until this occasion.
During the Dominion War, the Romulan Star Empire was allied with the Federation and the Klingons. During the war, the two powers began making serious moves towards peace. The embargo against Romulan products was dropped and as a result, Romulan ale was a legal beverage for the first time in many years. However, after the war, the embargo was reinstated sometime before 2379. Immediately subsequent to the reinstatement of the embargo, the crime rate within Federation Space skyrocketed.
Drugs
Ketracel White
Ketracel-white (also known as "white" for short) is an "isogenic enzyme" which the Dominion uses to control its Jem'Hadar warriors. The Jem'Hadar have been genetically engineered to be born dependent on the substance for survival. The Dominion is the only supplier of the drug, and as such keeps the Jem'Hadar firmly under the control of the Founders. The White is the sole source of nutrition that the Jem'Hadar ever need - they require no sleep, food, or other enhancements, since the White provides all that they need.
In the field, supplies of the White are under the sole control of the Vorta. When a Vorta supervisor dispenses the White to the assembled Jem'Hadar soldiers, a ritual dialogue takes place:
Vorta: "First (name of Jem'Hadar First), can you vouch for the loyalty of your men?"
Jem'Hadar: "We pledge our loyalty to the Founders, from now until death."
Vorta: "Then receive this reward from the Founders, may it keep you strong."
There has been one known instance of a Jem'Hadar not dependent on ketracel-white, the Jem'Hadar commander Goran'Agar in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Hippocratic Oath." The reason for his independence of the drug was never discovered, but was speculated to be some sort of random genetic mutation.
It is rumored that ketracel-white can also be used as a narcotic by other species; the Son'a are known to cultivate supplies of the drug for this purpose.

In the 1997 science-fiction comedy Men in Black, the Arquillians are an extremely small, but very powerful race. They control an empire, which is apparently at war with a highly aggressive species known as the "Bugs." The Arquillians are in possession of a very small galaxy, which is supposedly the Universe's most efficient source of sub-atomic energy. This galaxy is naturally considered very valuable, and is put on Earth (a neutral planet in galactic affairs) for safe-keeping, in the hands of a member of the Arquillian royal family (precisely why the Arquillians did not attempt to use the galaxy's power themselves is unclear).
When a Bugg attempts to seize the galaxy (killing two Arquillians in the process), the empire threatens the destruction of Earth if the galaxy is not returned immediately. Ultimately, the Men in Black succeed in recovering the galaxy. Only one Arquillian is seen in the film. He is humanoid, perhaps four inches tall, with pale greenish skin and a bulbous head. Their exact role in galactic affairs is uncertain, but they appear to be waging a successful war against the Buggs (who are universally feared and very numerous) and are apparently able to threaten Earth with impunity (though, given Earth's relatively primitive status, this is not saying much).
In "Men in Black: The Series," the Arquillians make more appearances sometimes making cameos, becoming decoys, and helping MIB against their evil and war-like counterparts called the Fmecks.

The idea of cities floating in gas giants was popularized by the Star Wars movie The Empire Strikes Back, in which a gas mine floats in the atmosphere of the planet Bespin. Another notable example is the antigravity-supported City of Stratos, in the Star Trek episode The Cloud Minders. In Stargate Atlantis the title city floats on an ocean (although it is actually a fully functional interstellar spaceship). The main setting in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy is a giant dome shaped city that is a spaceship. In the Beast Wars of the Transformers universe, the Vok build an observational flying land structure on which are a garden and a number of buildings.
In Ringworld series, floating cities are all that remain of the ancient inhabitants of the Ringworld. In James Blish's series Cities in Flight, the invention of the spindizzy allows cities like New York to leave Earth and roam the universe.

The JBpedia () is a an online tool which will serve as an open forum for members of CISV junior branch around the world to share, collaborate, explore histories and create new ideas and projects. Based on a -like model, the JBpedia will be changeable by anyone. This means that the information within the JBpedia will be constantly changing and adapting.
CISV
CISV is an international youth organization, founded on the aim of achieving world peace through cross-cultural understanding and friendship. The organization operates international programs on an annual basis to bring together participants from member countries.
CISV was founded in 1951 by Dr. Doris Twitchell Allen. When her husbond left her to figth in world war two and she decided to create a organisation. If children become friends with children all around the world there will be no war, because no one would ever fire a gun against a friend. Since then, the organization has expanded into 80 countries, and over 150,000 delegates have participated in more than four thousand international CISV activities.
For Dr. Allen and the CISV organization, children and youth were seen as the ideal starting point for peace education. Programmes were developed which offered young people opportunities to meet their peers from other countries and to form intercultural friendships. Locally, programmes give people the chance to learn about the cultures in their own communities and explore important themes related to peace and understanding.

The JBpedia is a soon to be released online tool of the International Junior Branch which will serve as an open forum for members of CISV around the world to share, collaborate, explore histories and create new ideas and projects. Based on a -like model, the JBpedia will be changeable by anyone. This means that the information within the JBpedia will be constantly changing and adapting.
The JBpedia will be officially released on the 15th of September, 2007. The idea is that following the launch, many members of CISV junior branch will get involved by editing a page - this could be setting up their personal page, helping build an article by adding or correcting the content, putting up their Junior Branch news or writing their own International Junior Branch Conference Story. The possibilities are endless.

CISV
CISV is an international youth organization, founded on the aim of achieving world peace through cross-cultural understanding and friendship. The organization operates international programs on an annual basis to bring together participants from member countries.
CISV was founded in 1951 by Dr. Doris Twitchell Allen. When her husbond left her to figth in world war two and she decided to create a organisation. If children become friends with children all around the world there will be no war, because no one would ever fire a gun against a friend. Since then, the organization has expanded into 80 countries, and over 150,000 delegates have participated in more than four thousand international CISV activities.
For Dr. Allen and the CISV organization, children and youth were seen as the ideal starting point for peace education. Programmes were developed which offered young people opportunities to meet their peers from other countries and to form intercultural friendships. Locally, programmes give people the chance to learn about the cultures in their own communities and explore important themes related to peace and understanding.
