Tribbles are a fictional alien species in the ''Star Trek'' universe. They were conceived by screenwriter David Gerrold and first appeared in 1967, in the fifteenth episode of the second season of ''The Original Series'', titled "The Trouble with Tribbles". They are depicted as a small, furry, gentle, cute and slow-moving, but rapidly reproducing, lovable species. Though they appear infrequently on-screen, they have become a popular feature of the ''Star Trek'' universe, featuring in their own eponymous official card game, and even lending their name to a conserved family of proteins that was first identified in the fruit fly as a regulator of cell division. Representation Tribbles were first shown in an episode of the second season of the original series, "The Trouble with Tribbles" (1967).

The Trouble With Tribbles
"The Trouble with Tribbles" is the fifteenth episode of the second season of the American science fiction television series ''Star Trek''. Written by David Gerrold and directed by Joseph Pevney, it was first broadcast on December 29, 1967. In this comic episode, the starship ''Enterprise'' visits a space station that soon becomes overwhelmed by rapidly-reproducing small furry creatures called "tribbles." It is claimed the short story "Pigs Is Pigs" by Ellis Parker Butler inspired the episode, but strong similarities to sections of the novel ''The Rolling Stones'' led the producers to seek a waiver from author Robert A. Heinlein. The original episode has had several produced follow-ups. The first, "More Tribbles, More Troubles", was originally pitched for the show's third season but not accepted; it was ultimately produced for '' Star Trek: The Animated Series''. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of ''Star Trek'' in 1996, the '' Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'' episode "Trials and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flat Cat
In Robert A. Heinlein's 1952 science fiction novel, ''The Rolling Stones'', flat cats are a species of Martian animal which reproduce rapidly and overrun a spaceship. Description and origin In the chapter "Free Enterprise", the character Mr. Angelo, a shopkeeper on Mars, introduces Castor and Pollux Stone to a flat cat: The boys take the flat cat onto the family space ship, where it soon has eight "kittens", each of which soon gives birth again, until the ship is overwhelmed with flat cats. The family solves the problem by rounding up the flat cats and putting them into the storage hold at low temperature, where they hibernate. They are later revived and sold to miners in the asteroid belt. Flat cats v. tribbles Heinlein's flat cats are often said to have been the inspiration for the tribbles of the 1967 '' Star Trek'' episode "The Trouble with Tribbles". The similarities to the flat cats and some specific story events involving them was brought to the attention of the Star Trek ...

TRIB1
Tribbles homolog 1 is a protein kinase that in humans is encoded by the ''TRIB1'' gene. Orthologs of this protein pseudokinase (pseudoenzyme) can be found almost ubiquitously throughout the animal kingdom. It exerts its biological functions through binding to signalling proteins of the MAPKK level of the MAPK pathway, therefore eliciting a regulatory role in the function of this pathway which mediates proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation in cells. Tribbles-1 is encoded by the trib1 gene, which in humans can be found on chromosome 8 at position 24.13 on the longest arm (q). Recent crystal structures show that Tribbles 1 has an unusual 3D structure, containing a 'broken' C-helix region, a binding site for ubiquitinated substrates such as C/EBPalpha and a key regulatory C-tail region. Like TRIB2 and TRIB3, TRIB1 has recently been considered as a potential allosteric drug target. Function Tribbles-1 is one of three members of the Tribbles subfamily, which is a part of the ...

Tribbles (game)
The ''Star Trek Customizable Card Game'' is an out-of-print collectible card game based on the '' Star Trek'' universe. The name is commonly abbreviated as ''STCCG'' or ''ST:CCG''. It was first introduced in 1994 by '' Decipher, Inc.'', under the name ''Star Trek: The Next Generation Customizable Card Game''. The game now has two distinct editions, though both forms of the game have many common elements. Standard elements The standard central goal for a player of ''STCCG'' is to obtain 100 points, primarily by completing ''missions'' or ''objectives''. This is done by bringing ''personnel'', ''ships'' and ''equipment'' into play, then moving an attempting team to a mission. Once a mission attempt starts, the personnel will create away teams to encounter ''dilemmas'' which will challenge them in some way. Often if the personnel have the required ''skills'' or ''attributes'' they can overcome certain dilemmas' effects. Once the required dilemmas are passed, the personnel still ...
