An immensely powerful extradimensional entity. While possessing near-godlike powers, Q also exhibits a childlike petulance and sense of playfulness. Q was a free spirit in the Q Continuum who rebelled against the stagnation that had grown over the past ten millenia. Q's irrepressive nature made him something of an outcast in the Continuum, but his freedom of thought inspired another member of the Continuum who would one day be known as Quinn. The Enterprise-D mad first contact with Q in 2364, when Q detained the ship, enacting a courtroom drama in which Q accused the ship's crew of being "grievously savage."
Q was first seen in "Encounter at Farpoint" (TNG).
