Melora (Ds9 Episode)"Melora" is the title of a episode, from the second season. Its episode number is 426, and it first aired on 31 October 1993. The episode's story mainly consists of a relationship between Julian Bashir and Melora Pazlar, an Elaysian whose species' anatomy or physiology is comparatively intolerant of the strength of artificial gravity found on Deep Space Nine. As a result, Melora must use external mechanical apparatus to exist comfortably on the station. (However, while in her quarters on Deep Space Nine, she can, and frequently does, adjust environmental settings to simulate her accustomed habitat.) Later in the episode, Bashir develops an application of a neuromuscular adaptation theory that could allow Melora to comfortably walk without the help of any of the equipment she currently uses. Even after successfully participating in tests of Bashir's new engineering technique, Melora decides to reject his treatment. Initially the creators of the Star Trek franchise wanted the character Dax to come from a low-gravity environment; however, technical difficulties proved too cumbersome, and the idea subsequently abandoned.
