| A highly sophisticated humanoid android built by noted cyberneticist Dr. Noonien Soong at his laboratory on planet Omicron Theta. Lore was almost identical in physical design to the android Data (also built by Soong), but had more human emotional responses built into his programming. Lore was activated around 2336, but was shut down by Soong shortly afterward because at Omicron Theta he was viewed as a threat. Lore was responsible for luring the malevolent Crystalline Entity to Omicron Theta, resulting in the death of all colonists there. Lore remained dormant until 2364 when his components were discovered by an away team from the Enterprise-D. |
