"Wages of Fear." A classic French thriller movie made in 1953.  It was one of many movies available aboard Enterprise.  ("Vox Sola" [ENT]).

warp coils.  Coils located in the nacelles that generate the subspace displacement necessary for warp drive.  ("Cold Front" [ENT]).

warp drive.  Primary propulsion system used by most faster-than-light interstellar spacecraft.  Warp drive was invented by Zefram Cochrane in 2063.  ("Broken Bow" [ENT]).

Warp five Complex.  Established in 2119 by Zefram Cochrane and Henry Archer.  The complex was established in order to begin propulsion research on a warp engine that would go warp 5, 100 times faster than the Earth ships of that era.  ("Broken Bow" [ENT]).  Jonathan Archer visited the facility when he was eight years old, meeting such famous engineers as Cochrane and Tasaki.  ("Singularity" [ENT]).

warp injector casings.  Receptacle for warp injectors.  Menos said he was hauling spent warp injector casings, and that the toxins from them affected his hemolytic cell count.  He was indeed hauling them, but his primary cargo was synthetic bio-toxins.  ("The Seventh" [ENT]).

water polo.  A water sport with two teams of swimmers, each of which try to pass a ball into the other team's goal.  Captain Archer was very fond of the game and once watched a match of Stanford vs. Texas with Commander Tucker.  ("Vox Sola" [ENT]).

waveform discriminator.  Device that Mestral was going to get from his crashed ship to improve the reception of his television.  ("Carbon Creek" [ENT]).

weapons locker.  Storage area for handheld weapons aboard the Enterprise.  In total, there were fourteen of them.  ("Acquisition" [ENT]).

Webb, George.  Assistant engineer aboard a Y-500 class ship in 2088.  Webb was a friend of Travis Mayweather's uncle who told the story of their ship picking up a lifepod from space which they had detected a lifeform aboard.  Webb was assigned to open the pod, and claimed to have heard a tapping sound from inside it while he proceeded.  When opened, no one was found.  The next couple days Webb was apparently acting different and speaking an alien language.  He then locked himself in engineering and overloaded the impulse reactors nearly destroying the ship.  He escaped in the same lifepod from space and was unable to be tracked because of the damage to the ship's engines.  Stories told that when the subspace radio noise was low, you could still hear the beeping of his distress call.  ("Strange New World" [ENT]).

Wells, H.G.  Famous English novelist, historian, and science-fiction writer from the turn of the 20th century.  Daniels told Archer that time travel was a lot more complex than Wells' novels.  ("Shockwave, Part II" [ENT]).

Weytahn.  Class-D planet on the frontier between Vulcan and Andoria that was no larger than Earth's moon.  The Andorians began terraforming the planet in the mid-21st century.  Once an atmosphere was developed, they established a settlement.  Because the Andorians would not allow the Vulcans to inspect the colony, they annexed the planet and forcibly removed the Andorians.  A satelite was placed in orbit to ensure that no one would break any of the treaties established afterwards.  Hostilies in the century afterward almost led to war twice, once including the border incursions of 2112.  A group of Andorians under the command of Shran set down on the planet in 2152 to retake the planet by force.  The Vulcans were quick to defend, and the situation was mediated by Captain Archer.  Both sides left the planet afterwards.  ("Cease Fire" [ENT]).

Williams, Commander.  (Jim Fitzpatrick).  Commander in charge of security at Starfleet Command.  ("Broken Bow" [ENT]).  Williams lost a bet with Drake in regards to the Borg debris in the Arctic Circle.  Williams later investigated when the team went missing.  ("Regeneration" [ENT]).  Williams was named in honor of William Shatner.

wisp.  Name given to a race of non-corporeal beings because of their wisp-like appearance.  The wisps exchanged their consciousness with crewmembers of the S.S. Enterprise in an attempt to take their bodies in order to operate their ship.  They were neutralized when a gas was vented over the ship, forcing them out of the crew's bodies.  After Enterprise escaped their ship, they destroyed it.  ("The Crossing" [ENT]).

Witty, Gabrielle.  Fourth grade student, in Ms. Malvin's class at Worley Elementary, who asked a question for the crew of the S.S. Enterprise about germs in space.  ("Breaking the Ice" [ENT]).

World Cup.  A soccer tournament in which national teams compete for world championship.  England made it to the World Cup in 2152.  ("Minefield" [ENT]).

Worley Elementary.  School located in Kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland.  Students from Ms. Malvin’s class sent artwork and letters to the crew of the S.S. Enterprise.  ("Breaking the Ice" [ENT]).

wraith.  Term given to the telepathic lifeforms indigenous to Dakala by the Eska.  They also had shape shifting abilities which made them hard to find on sensors.  The Eska found that when they were afraid they emitted a chemical signature that they could track.  Captain Archer helped the creatures cover their tracks since one of them appeared to him and asked for his help.  ("Rogue Planet" [ENT]).  The female wraith was never given a name, but was played by Stephanie Niznik who previously portrayed Ensign Perim in Star Trek: Insurrection.
