This is an unofficial skill telling you stories and facts about characters and alien life forms from the Star Trek universe. The contents is based on articles from Wikipedia.
One strengths of this skill is the intelligent keyword recognition from the context of the search query. This helps when looking for ambiguous terms. For example compare "What is Enterprise as series?" vs. "what is the spaceship enterprise?"
Furthermore the skill will find related articles: "Who is Annika Hansen?" ==> Information about "Seven of Nine" from Star Trek Voyager
The quality of the search result rises and falls with the scope of the appropriate context in the query. In the end, whether the context "fits" depends on the keywords in the Wikipedia article.
See some more examples:
"Who is Commander Data" "Who is Jean Luc Picard" "Who is Mister Spock" "Who is Worf" "Who is Beverly Crusher" "Who is Seven of nine" "Who is Captain Janeway" "Search for Benjamin Sisko" "What is Deep Space Nine" "What is Star Trek Voyager" "What are Tribbles" "What is a Transporter" "What is a Tricorder" "What is a Photon Torpedo" "Tell me something about the movie 'Generations'" "Tell me something about the movie 'First Contact'" "Tell me something about the movie 'The Wreath of Khan'" "Tell me something about the Borg" "Tell me something about the Vulcans" "Tell me something about the species 8472" "Tell me something about the 'Q'"
