Bioplast sheeting [20] Material used in the construction of Data. Data has 1.3 kg of bioplast sheeting in his body. [20]
Beta matrix compositor [21] Major component of a Cardassian plasma distribution manifolds. The device cannot be replicated. [21]
Borg drone [22] 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. [22]
Berthold rays [23] Form of radiation which is deadly to living things. [23]
Beta-tachyon [24] Form of particle which can only travel faster than light. [24]
Biogenic field [25] Form of naturally ocurring energy. [25]
Bersallis firestorms [26] Fierce fire-like effect which occurs every seven years on the planet Bersallis III. [26]
Blind beam-out [27] Emergency transporter technique in which everything within a specified area is beamed out, as opposed to locking onto specific patterns. [27]
Barium [28] Element, atomic number 56. [28]
Bypass displacer [21] 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. [21]
Biomechanical maintenance program [29] Element of Data's programming which kept him in good health. [29]
Bioneural energy [30] Electrical energy generated within a persons brain and nervous system. [30]

Boridium power converter [32] Device used to power the internal functions of an Exocomp. [32]
Buffer [33] Device used by the Bynars to assist in the transfer of information fom one person to another. [33]
Bilitrium [34] Crystalline substance which can be combined with an antimatter convertor to make a powerful explosive. [34]
Baryon [15] Class of the heaviest particles. Include neutrons, protons and the heavier, unstable hyperons: the lambda, sigma, xi, and omega particles. [15]
Bioneural circuitry [35] Circuitry composed of synthetic cells within a gel pack. [35]
Brizeen nitrate [36] Chemical substance used to enhance the growing potential of soil. [36]
Biosynthetic gland [9] Borg implant which replaces the glands of an assimilated person. [9]
Brown dwarf [37] Astronomical object which is larger than a gas giant, but lacks sufficient mass to become a star. [37]
Black cluster [38] 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. [38]
Bioimplant [39] Artifical implant which can replace a damaged organ in the body. [39]
Badlands [40] Area of space near Bajor which contains large amounts of plasma. [40]
Brig [41] Area of a Federation Starship in which prisoners are detained. [41]
Borg implant [42] 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. [42]

Bioship [52] A Starship made out of biological rather than technological materials. At least some Breen ships are biological, as are the warships of Species 8472. [52]
Borg alcove [22] 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. [22]
Black hole [53] 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. [53]
Bipolar torch [54] A powerful cutting tool used aboard Deep Space Nine. [54]
Bemonite [55] A metallic ore which inhibits transporter systems. [55]
