Memory Alpha

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

This article is about the library facility. You may be looking for our sister site, Memory Alpha.

Memory Alpha was first in a series of outpost facilities that were created to house the whole of the Federation's extensive library of knowledge. Memory Alpha was created specifically as an open, undefended center of knowledge of the Federation and the galaxy. (TOS episode: "The Lights of Zetar")

[edit] History

Lieutenant T'Laen of the USS Lovell prepared a request to access Memory Alpha's computers to search for information on a mysterious wave affecting Starbase 47 in 2265. (SCE eBook: Distant Early Warning)

After an attack on it by beings from Zetar, the Symphony Alpha complex was also built on its surface, headed by Commissioner Mira Romaine. (TOS video game: Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Strategic Command)

During the time when Memory Alpha was out of commission due to the Zetar attack, a new outpost named Memory Prime was created to help protect and decentralize the model of Federation library facilties after the great loss of the Alpha archive. During this time, the expensive plans to bring Memory Alpha back online as a sister facility ran into major holdups and was sometimes jokingly referred to as "Memory Omega". (TOS novel: Memory Prime)

Memory Alpha, along with Starbase 218, was a destination of the USS Prague during a cadet training cruise in 2346. (TNG novel: Losing the Peace)

In 2374, Jadzia Dax consulted Memory Alpha for information on the Grigari. (DS9 video game: The Fallen)

Chi Namthot of Memory Alpha had made extensive research notes on the Iconian Gateways prior to 2376. (DS9 Gateways novel: Demons of Air and Darkness)

In 2377, Ro Laren uplinked with both Memory Alpha and the Bajoran Central Archives when researching Iliana Ghemor. (DS9 novel: Fearful Symmetry)

After the death of Shinzon, researchers at Memory Alpha completed a study to determine what would have happened if the mad Praetor had not been stopped. The published preliminary analysis revealed that both the Alpha and Beta quadrants would have been consumed by total thalaron war which would have made a new dark age that would have consumed and devastated entire civilizations. The aftermath would have resulted in surviving powers being too weak to challenge the Borg Collective. (TOS novel: Captain's Blood)
