I'll note that the Enterprise-D had more than one "facility" for the 1,014-member crew. And three solid-waste reprocessing units as well.

It even had the bathroom location listed in the ship schematics. I always thought that was kind of funny. There was a read-out of Voyager, also (before the series, I think) but I don't recall seeing the restroom on it.
The Next Generation Technical Manual published during the early 90's has a complete functional analysis of the entire 'Galaxy-class' "USS Enterprise-D" from the Star Trek: The Next Generation television show. Each chapter of the book focuses on a particular function of the ship, from tactical and science, to utilities and life-support.
Funnily enough, there's even a "television-crew" toilet marked on the big 'Master Situation Monitor' screen in Main Engineering. It's for the production staff.  |

You might be thinking of the Sovereign-class "Enterprise-E", which featured in the TNG films after the "D" was destroyed in Generations. |

Yeah, and...?
@ Sage: I went through the book again, and you were right. However, I never DID find any reference to bathrooms. There are plenty of readouts and descriptions of uniforms, equipment, ship storage and crew compartments, etc ad nauseum.... |

The point is that females aren't typically called by the title "prince." Was that unclear?  |

| They probably use naval terms, toilets onboard ship are called heads or water closets. |
Eat lots of garlic - it keeps the elves and vampires away.
Don't stick your sword into dragons, you just don't know where they've been.
Avoid stepping on halflings. They stick to your boots, will smell awful, and are impossible to scrape off.
Ah, of course. Never play leapfrog with a unicorn.

You'll have to refresh my memory, Alystra, about which book you were going through? |

Daedra can appear female or male, but they have no gender. They are called Princes in general. |

Okay, so they all have communicators (with GPS capabilities) built into their chest-pins. They also have the technology to move any sort of matter to any other place, instantaneously.
They need bathrooms, why, exactly?
I think Kirk may have sent more then Tribbles over to that Klingon ship.  |

The Starfleet Technical Manual- (for Star Trek 25th anniversary) it's copyrighted 1986, and the Enterprise is still listed as Heavy Cruiser Class (Constitution class) and is only labeled 1701, with no letter behind it. It mentions water closets in the staterooms, but doesn't mention how many of thosethere are- state rooms are mainly for guests or non-crew passengers, aren't they? Does that mean that crew members would have to know on the door of some visiting alien to use the facilities? Still seems inconvenient. And then there's that comment by Johnathan Frakes during a behind-the-scenes show where he pointed out the location of the supposed single bathroom on the TNG Enterprise. This was early in the series, IIRC, before any of the TNG movies. |

Yes, and those Starfleet dignitaries and/or special personnel on board for a particular mission. I think one of the old TOS novels mentioned that. Or it could have been one of the TOS movie novelisations. Hmmm.

I remember that. It was from the television special aired just before the end of the TNG series.
Anyways, I was referring to the content of The Next Generation Technical Manual, which identifies the toilets on board the Enterprise-D. |

| I voted for Malacath since I don't know if there's a Faerunian deity (at least) or a fiend with worshippers whose portfolio deals with outcasts. I know Ghaunadaur and Fenmarel Mestarine have a lot to deal with outcasts, but that's about it to my knowledge. |

| No, he is not. He's one of the original entities in Nirn, alongside Auriel who is part of Anu the Everything, which is in direct opposition to Sithis/Padomay. |

Sithis is neither Aedra or Daedra, as I recall. In fact, he's said to have been a primordial entity that existed long before either the Aedra or Daedra. |
