 | Landing procedures |  |

|
|---|
 Procedures followed when landing a starship. The crew takes the warp core offline, vents all plasma from the nacelles, and engages atmospheric thrusters. The ship goes to Blue Alert and the crew reports to code blue stations. The ship is taken in on a glide trajectory, and landing struts are extended. (VOY: The 37's)

| Laser (Acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) | |
|---|
|
|---|
In a laser, the oscillator (a gaseous, fluid or solid matter) is embedded in a resonator, usually consisting of two mirrors. Continuous energy supply leads to an occupation inversion of energy levels within the oscillator, meaning that more electrons are in an excited (higher energy) state than in the normal state. A large amount of narrow-band light is produced, corresponding to electrons falling back to their normal states. A small part of the generated photons generates new excited electrons, while the major part is emitted through one of the mirrors which is semi-transparent. Laser weapons have been replaced by the more powerful phasers in the 23rd century, however, lasers are still in use as cutting and welding tools.

When attempting to restore warp drive to the U.S.S. Defiant, Kira realigned the dilithium articulation frame. You start this by decoupling the lateral microbrace. (DS9: One Little Ship)

|
|---|
The common user interface of 24th century computer systems, based on verbal and graphically enhanced keyboard/display input and output. The graphical interface adapts to the task which is supposed to be performed, allowing for maximum ease-of-use.

Chief O'Brien performed a level-1 diagnostic on the central power linkages on the U.S.S. Ganges after the runabout suffered power loss on Stardate 46531.2. (DS9: Q-Less)

| Life support | |
|---|
|
|---|
Designation for a number of ship systems necessary to maintain living conditions for the crew, namely atmospheric system, gravity generators and EPS. The life support systems are distributed throughout the ship and redundant systems are available to provide maximum safety for the crew.
