Alixus

Alixus in 2370

Alixus was a Human who believed that Humanity had lost its way to technology. With the help of like-minded, influential scientists on Earth, she had designed a duonetic field-device, capable of rendering any other, nearby technology inoperable. In the 2360s, she and her son Vinod boarded the colony ship SS Santa Maria actually designated for Gemulon V. In the Orellius system, she secretly activated the duonetic field, forcing the ship to crash land on a remote planet she previously selected as the perfect site for her technology-free colony.

At first Alixus led her fellow "castaways" to believe that the dampening field was a natural feature of the planet. The first years of the settlement were very hard, and, lacking any life-saving technology, several colonists died. However, when Starfleet officers Benjamin Sisko and Miles O'Brien stranded on the planet in 2370, they discovered her deception and revealed it to the rest of her community. Alixus and her son were taken into custody as they had to answer for willingly letting people die for her theories. Although the duonetic field-device was de-activated, the colonists ultimately decided to continue pursuing their non-technological lifestyle. (DS9: "Paradise")

Alixus was played by Gail Strickland.
In many ways the lifestyle sought by Alixus followed the footsteps of the 22nd century Neo-transcendentalist movement, that lead some groups, including the Bringloidi, to establish non-technology-based colonies. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder")
