Bio-toxin [22] Type of poison which could be used to create transgenic weapons. [22]
Biobed [23] A bed which has various medical sensing equipment built into it and a large screen to display the results. [23]
Biochips [24] A type of cybernetic implant used by the Borg. [24]
Biocontainment field [25] A type of field used in the containment of infectious material on board a Federation Starship. [25]
Biofilter [26] An element of the transporter system, the biofilter is capable of analysing the incoming pattern and removing any hazardous biological elements such as bacteria or viruses. [26] Biofilters are also used in Cardassian replicators. [27]
Biogenic field [28] Form of naturally ocurring energy. [28]
Bioimplant [29] Artifical implant which can replace a damaged organ in the body. [29]
Biomechanical maintenance program [30] Element of Data's programming which kept him in good health. [30]
Bioneural circuitry [31] Circuitry composed of synthetic cells within a gel pack. [31]
Bioneural energy [32] Electrical energy generated within a persons brain and nervous system. [32]
Bioneural gel pack [31] An element of modern Federation computer systems, these packs contain biological processing nodes which process information more efficiently than isolinear chips. [31]
Bioplast sheeting [33] Material used in the construction of Data. Data has 1.3 kg of bioplast sheeting in his body. [33]
Biopolar flow junction [34] A conduit branch within the plasma conduits of a Federation Starship. [34]
Bioship [35] A Starship made out of biological rather than technological materials. At least some Breen ships are biological, as are the warships of Species 8472. [35]
Biosignature [36] Signature detectable by medical systems which allows the species of an individual to be determined regardless of exterior appearence. [36] It is unclear whether the biosignature is some as yet unknown quantity or simply a combination of factors such as organ arrangement and function.
Biosynthetic gland [37] Borg implant which replaces the glands of an assimilated person. [37]
Biotemporal chamber [38] Medical device created in an alternate timeline which was potentially capable of extending the life of an Ocampan by up to a year. [38]
Bipolar torch [39] A powerful cutting tool used aboard Deep Space Nine. [39]
Bitanium [40] A metal compound used in Data's neural pathways. [40]
Bitrious filaments [41] Mineral trace which the Crystalline Entity leaves behind when it absorbs organic matter. [41]
Black cluster [42] Astronomical formation created nine billion years ago when hundreds of protostars collapsed simultaneously in close proximity to one another. The region is very dangerous for Starships. [42]
Black hole [43] A region of space containing a mass so dense that the escape velocity exceeds that of light. Many black holes are thought to contain a singularity, a point mass potentially of infinite density. The boundary beyond which the escape velocity of a black hole exceeds that of light is known as the Event Horizon. [43]
Blast Shutters [34] Physical shield device which can be closed over the windows of a small vessel to protect them. [34]
Blind beam-out [44] Emergency transporter technique in which everything within a specified area is beamed out, as opposed to locking onto specific patterns. [44]
Borg alcove [45] A slot in which a Borg drone regenerates while not being employed in useful work. Alcoves include a hard connection to the Borg collective. Each is designed for a specific drone. Borg alcoves consume thirty megawatts of power even when not in use. [45]
Borg Collective [46] The sum totality of the minds of all Borg Drones, linked together via an advanced subspace communications system. The Collective has an implacable determination to improve itself by adding useful biological and technological elements from other species via assimilation of their members. Borg Queens appear to act as a form of operating system for the Borg, co-ordinating their actions. [46]
Borg drone [45] Humanoid life form which incorporates technological elements in order to expand its abilities. There are many different varieties of Borg Drone, each equipped to perform a specific function, but most have an armoured exoskeleton covering the majority of their skin and one limb and one eye replaced with mechanical substitutes. Borg drones differ from most Cyborgs in that their minds are linked with and under the control of the Borg Collective. [45]
Borg implant [47] Any one of a number of devices placed into the Humanoid body by the Borg. Implants serve various functions, including synthesizing food for the biological components of the body, enhancing its strength and sensory capabilities, creating nanoprobes, etc. [47]

Boridium power converter [49] Device used to power the internal functions of an Exocomp. [49]
Borocarbons [50] A substance which always results when Tetrazine is ignited by a plasma exhaust. [50]
Boronite [51] Material used in the fabrication of Vostigye alien space stations. It is the only raw material known which can be used to create Omega molecules. [51]
Brechtian cluster [41] Star cluster with two inhabited planets. [41]
Briar Patch [52] Region of space which has large numbers of anomalies and clouds of metreon gas. [52]
Bridge [53] The control centre of a Starship. The main bridge is usually located at the uppermost point of the Saucer section. [53]
Brig [54] Area of a Federation Starship in which prisoners are detained. [54]
Brizeen nitrate [55] Chemical substance used to enhance the growing potential of soil. [55]
Broad-spectrum warp field [56] A subspace bubble which is capable of interfering with the structure of a quantum fissure. Also known as an inverse warp field. [56]
Brown dwarf [57] Astronomical object which is larger than a gas giant, but lacks sufficient mass to become a star. [57]
Buffer [58] Device used by the Bynars to assist in the transfer of information fom one person to another. [58]
Bussard collectors [59] An element of the drive system of a Federation or other Starship. The Bussard collector allows the vessel to scoop gas - usually hydrogen - out of the interstellar medium, thus replenishing the onboard fuel supply. [59]
Bypass displacer [15] Element of Deep Space Nine's systems. In 2373 bypass displacers were one of the items which Chief O'Brien's team attempted to retrieve from Empok Nor. [15]
