Anonymous, unnamed civilians who occupy Ten-Forward and form the lounge’s social fabric across episodes. Collectively, these patrons provide everyday human interactions, conversational rhythms, body language, and couple dynamics that ground Ten-Forward as the ship’s social hub. They function as living exemplars observed by other characters (e.g., Data, Lal) and help humanize larger plot events by signalling public sentiment and offering social context without serving as plot-driving individuals.
