Number One, in "The Cage", the original pilot episode of the science fiction television series Star Trek, was the un-named intellectual, problem-solving second-in-command serving under Captain Christopher Pike.
Number One's real name has never been revealed, and debate raged in fandom for years as to whether she is even human.
One Star Trek novel mentions her being the top intellect of her generation, hence her name, and that she was from the planet Ilyria.

The evolution of Star Trek in the 1980s and 1990s into such a multi-layered and self-referential "web" of narratives is a measure of the differences in popular culture between recent decades and what now appears to be the comparatively "primitive" or "innocent" era of the 1960s...

The Star Trek text game is a classic text-only computer game that originated from the BASIC programming language hacker culture of the 1970s.

Early versions of the game used traditional Star Trek terms like "phaser" and "Klingon", but these were changed, presumably due to trademark issues.

The fourth — and final — season of this series, and perhaps the whole Star Trek franchise as well.
Unfortunately this show, which attempted to do something grittier and fresh with the Trek universe and went back to the pre-Kirk pre-Federation era, was dogged by controversy amongst fans from the very start.
