Terminology
Zhilikam t'°MH-Krozhak t'O'niduhn°

Because so much of their history has been lost, Vulcans find historical dramas of other worlds of great interest. The Onedin Line (1971-80) was a British television series from Earth, centered on the ambitious James Onedin and his building up of a shipping line, beginning in 1860. The series was fondly remembered on Earth for generations and has been enjoyed by various beings in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants since a memory archive was found with all the episodes recorded on it. Beings from watery planets are especially fond of this recovered series.

Below you will find names, places and terminology that you might find associated with The Onedin Line. (Names are listed in pure alphabetical order by title/rank, first name then last name, since names are sorted using the Vulcan standard.) Names in italics are those of ships.
