| 27 | * Redjac is a non-corporeal being that [[EmotionEater fed on fear and terror]], but enjoyed causing fear just as much as the actual consumption of it. Introduced in "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E14WolfInTheFold}} Wolf in the Fold]]", Redjac had the ability to [[PuppeteerParasite take a humanoid host]], and [[HistoricalRapSheet used these hosts for centuries to commit mass murders]], most notably as UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper. It [[HeManWomanHater targeted women]] because their deaths tended to generate more fear, and was responsible for dozens of deaths across multiple planets, and almost certainly countless more, as it [[HistoricalRapSheet claims to have existed since the dawn of time]]. In the episode, Redjac murders three women and [[FrameUp frames Scotty]] for all of them. When it's discovered, it takes control of the Enterprise's computers and attempts to kill everyone on-board, cackling all the while. While it appears to have been defeated, it reappeared in both the DC and [=WildStorm=] comics. In the [[ComicBook/StarTrekDCComics DC two-parter]], "Wolf on the Prowl" and "Wolf at the Door", it commits several more murders in the body of an Enterprise crewperson, had established itself as the "God of Evil" on a primitive planet, and killed thousands of said planet's inhabitants to give itself power in a last-ditch effort to get revenge on Kirk by destroying the Enterprise. In the [=WildStorm=] comic ''[[ComicBook/StarTrekTheNextGenerationEmbraceTheWolf Embrace the Wolf]]'', based on the [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]] universe, it provoked an all-out nuclear war on a peaceful Federation planet, and challenged Data in his Sherlock Holmes persona to save his fellow crew members while Redjac took up its mantle once again as Jack the Ripper. Acting less as a senseless predator and more as a psychotic SerialKiller on a galactic level, Redjac is one of the worst that ''Star Trek'' has to offer. |
| 28 | * The [[HiveQueen Borg Queen]] is one of the most persistent and dangerous foes the Federation has ever faced—having ultimately been [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E26S4E1TheBestOfBothWorlds responsible for Picard himself previously being forced into the Collective]]. In her [[Film/StarTrekFirstContact first on-screen appearance]], she attacks Earth with a Borg Cube and attends to [[AssimilationPlot assimilate the entire population]] and turn them into Borg drones. When Picard manages to destroy the Cube, the Borg Queen escapes in a sphere and travels back in time to assimilate the Earth in the past—at one point tricking Picard into agreeing to be assimilated again too. After being defeated by Picard, the Borg Queen resurfaces in the Delta Quadrant to menace [[Series/StarTrekVoyager the Voyager crew]]. The Borg Queen kidnaps former Borg drone [[Characters/StarTrekVoyagerSevenOfNine Seven of Nine]] and attempts to [[TheCorrupter corrupt her]], forcing Seven to take part in a Borg invasion of a planet, where the Borg Queen turns the entire population into Borg drones. Later, the Borg Queen discovers that some drones are able to retain their individuality when regenerating. The Borg Queen has drones with this ability disassembled and vivisected. The Borg Queen also begins to destroy Borg vessels that have 1 or 2 drones that are defying her, not caring about [[BadBoss the thousands of other drones who die in the process]]. After a final defeat from Janeway, the Borg Queen [[Series/StarTrekPicard returns decades later to enact her revenge]]. She works with rogue Changelings to infiltrate Starfleet and change the transporter system so that the transporters will secretly transform anyone under 25 into Borg drones. The Borg Queen sends a signal to activate her new drones and they begin to kill everyone who is not a drone. The Borg Queen orders her drones to destroy the Earth and plans to have her drones go across the galaxy and [[OmnicidalManiac kill all other organic life]]. |

Though regarded as a brilliant psychologist who revolutionized Federation penal colonies, Adams eventually became corrupt and used a device called a [[MindControlDevice Neural Neutralizer]] to turn the staff and inmates on the colony into brainwashed zombies. Anyone who resists the Neural Neutralizer suffers from extreme pain. When Adams used it on his assistant Dr. Simon Van Gelder, Van Gelder went insane and escaped to the Enterprise. Van Gelder is willing to cripple the Enterprise rather than return to Tantalus. After Kirk decides to investigate, Adams seems friendly at first, but eventually decides to use the Neural Neutralizer on Kirk, [[MindRape mentally assaulting]] Kirk in order to break him down and make him a zombie. |
| 35 | * "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E21PatternsOfForce Patterns of Force]]": Melakon was a devotee of Nazism, which was introduced to his people by a former Starfleet officer named [[WellIntentionedExtremist John Gill]] in an attempt to soften it. Shunning the attempt to water down [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler's]] philosophy, Melakon decided to embrace Hitler's path. [[TheStarscream He overthrew his mentor]] and formed a fascist regime on his homeworld Ekos while trying to organize a [[FinalSolution new Holocaust]] on a neighboring planet called Zeon. Before murdering his mentor, Melakon was denounced by him as nothing more as a self-seeking adventurer, a traitor to his people and all they stood for. |
| 36 | * "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E4AndTheChildrenShallLead And the Children Shall Lead]]": Gorgan is an evil EnergyBeing and the last surviving member of a race of marauders who were destroyed by those whom they had victimized. Gorgan sealed himself into a cave and waited for an opportunity to strike. That opportunity came when a small team of Federation scientists arrive on Gorgan's planet to set up a colony. Gorgan took the form of a "friendly angel", manipulating the children into becoming his minions and using his MindControl powers to [[PsychicAssistedSuicide drive all the adults to suicide]]. After the Enterprise comes upon the colony, they take the children aboard the ship.

When they arrive, Gorgan plans to make all the children of Marcos 12 his minions and [[ThereAreNoAdults kill all the adults]]. Gorgan forces the crew of the Enterprise to comply with [[KidsVersusAdults his plan]], by [[IKnowWhatYouFear exposing them to their worst fears]] if they don't.

After desiring to add Data, the only known sapient android in the galaxy, to his collection, Fajo [[WaterSourceTampering poisons an inhabited planet's water supply]] so [[PoisonAndCureGambit he can kidnap Data and cover it up as an accidental death while trading over the antidote]]. When Data is in his care, Fajo [[ItIsDehumanizing doesn't care about his sapience]] and degrades and humiliates him into catering to his whims, insistent that he's just another shiny object. When Data refuses to comply, Fajo eventually forces him to obey by threatening to kill his broken, co-dependent slave girlfriend Varria with a Varon-T Disruptor, which is illegal to carry in the Federation due to the [[AgonyBeam agonizingly slow and torturous]] way it kills its targets from the inside out. When Varria helps Data escape, Fajo murders her with it and [[NeverMyFault pins the blame on Data]]. He then threatens to continue killing more of his own servants if Data keeps refusing to obey him, and even dismisses Varria's death by stating that he can easily find a replacement. Among the series's one-shot villains, Kivas Fajo is without a doubt among the worst. |
| 42 | * "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E12Violations Violations]]": Jev was a [[MindRape serial mind rapist]] who was part of a Ullian delegation, led by his father Tarmin, that specialized in telepathic memory retrieval, a process that restores lost memories. Jev first [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil assaulted]] Counselor Troi by using his telepathic powers to rewrite her memories of a romantic moment between her and Riker into a rape and then replacing Riker in the memory. She fell into a coma after a mental attack. Later he assaulted Commander Riker and Dr. Crusher, making them experience their worst nightmares to keep them from exposing him. When Troi regained consciousness and can't remember her attacker, Jev "helps" by using the memory retrieval process and uses it to frame his father Tamrin, who is arrested. Then he goes to Troi's quarters, ostensibly to apologize for his father, but really to rape her again. This time she's able to hold him off long enough for Worf and his security team to arrive and he's finally brought to justice. What makes Jev even worse is that it's established the crew of the Enterprise are simply the latest in a very long line of his victims, with Geordie and Data's research turning up multiple cases of people who he left in comas, dating years back and spanning several different planets. |
| 43 | * "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E4Gambit Gambit]]": [[DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent T'Paal, alias Tallera]], is a member of a [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Vulcan isolationist movement]] that wants to [[FinalSolution violently purge Vulcan]] of [[FantasticRacism all alien elements]], believing outsiders are a threat to Vulcan purity. Tallera wants to recreate an ancient Vulcan doomsday weapon, the Stone of Gol, that allows a Vulcan to increase their telepathic abilities and kill with a thought. Tallera steals a part of the Stone of Gol from a museum on Vulcan and secretly hires Baran and his mercs to find the other parts of the Stone of Gol by raiding ancient Vulcan ruins across the Quadrant. After Tallera obtains the Stone of Gol, she uses it to [[BadBoss kill some of the mercs she hired]] when they complain she did not deliver the reward she promised.

Reappearing next to Mirror Bariel after escaping from captivity, Kira manipulates him into stealing a Bajoran Orb to unite Mirror Bajor behind her. After that plan fails, she appears one last time, manipulating her other lover, Mirror Ezri, into obtaining a cloaking device for the Alliance Regent to quell the Rebellion in order to regain favor and gain more power.
