![]() Unfortunately, the same homing signal also attracted Lore, who had been re-activated several years before, an event of which Soong was unaware. ![]() In an effort to bring Data to him so that he could install the emotion chip, he activated a homing device that forced Data to hijack the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D in order to travel to the Doctor. He had continued his work to create a perfect emotion chip for his 'son' Data. Three years later, however, he was discovered to be alive and secluded where Soong and his wife had fled after the attack. Soong was believed to have been killed on Omicron Theta, in the Crystalline Entity's attack, when the massacre was uncovered in 2364. In a recorded message, Soong told their 'son' Data that he always regretted putting his work before his wife. She later divorced Soong, moved away, and remarried. The new android design was so perfect that she never realized she was not the original Juliana. The Juliana-android, though still a Soong-type design, greatly advanced Soong's goal of replicating and expanding Human abilities. Unable to let Juliana go, Noonian transferred his comatose wife's memories into an advanced android body before her passing. During the same attack, Juliana was fatally injured as the couple fled. In 2336, when the colony on Omicron Theta came under attack by the Crystalline Entity, the inert body of Data and the disassembled body of Lore were left behind on the colony to be discovered years later. Despite lacking any emotional ability, and requiring a "learning" period, Data advanced further, and more quickly, than Dr. Lore, the fourth attempt, displayed tremendous advances in cognitive abilities and interaction, but had difficulty in adapting to ethical subroutines designed to facilitate interaction among Humans and was deemed "emotionally unstable." The fifth attempt, Data, was the most successful. B-4 was a relatively primitive android, capable of only the most basic speech and motorization. Each of the androids created by the Soongs represented an advancement and refinement of the potential for their creations. Together, they perfected his design, and built functional humanoid androids with advanced artificial intelligence. While living on Omicron Theta, Soong met and fell in love with Juliana O'Donnell, and the pair married in secret. Traveling under an assumed name to the colony on Omicron Theta, he continued his research, unbeknownst to anyone but his neighbors. After failing to deliver on his promises, the disgraced and humiliated Soong disappeared. Soong's early work was highly regarded, and he promised breakthroughs on the positronic brain. Soong was the creator of the "Soong-type androids," including Data, Lore, and B-4, and a descendant of the criminal 22nd century geneticist Arik Soong, who worked extensively on Augments. ![]() Soong in 2367, shortly before his deathĭoctor Noonien Soong was one of the Federation's leading cyberneticists during the 24th century. His skull was composed of cortenide and duranium.Dr. (TNG: "Inheritance") Data's upper spinal support was a polyalloy designed to withstand extreme stress. All told, he weighed approximately one hundred kilograms. He was composed of 24.6 kilograms of tripolymer composites, 11.8 kilograms of molybdenum-cobalt alloys and 1.3 kilograms of bioplast sheeting. Soong claimed he built Data to perfect his design of his androids, and when Data was perfected, apply his improvements to Lore.īonus answers (but you should never post >1 question per post on SE, so I will only answer one): He was built on the planet Omicron Theta around 2336, after Lore was deactivated, and over the protests of Soong's wife Juliana. MA's Data article tells you what you need:ĭata was the fifth of six known androids designed by Dr. Memory Alpha (Star Trek Wiki site) is your best resource for all things Star Trek.
