<p><a href="Gene_Roddenberry" title="Gene Roddenberry">Gene Roddenberry</a> told <a href="Brent_Spiner" title="Brent Spiner">Brent Spiner</a> that over the course of the series, Data was to become "more and more like a human until the end of the show, when he would be very close, but still not quite there. That was the idea and that's the way that the writers took it." Spiner felt that Data exhibited the <a href="Charlie_Chaplin" title="Charlie Chaplin">Chaplinesque</a> characteristics of a sad, tragic clown.<sup id="cite_ref-closeup_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-closeup-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> To get into his role as Data, Spiner used the character of <a href="Robby_the_Robot" title="Robby the Robot">Robby the Robot</a> from the film <i><a href="Forbidden_Planet" title="Forbidden Planet">Forbidden Planet</a></i> as a role model.<sup id="cite_ref-closeup_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-closeup-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Before Spiner was cast, <a href="Eric_Menyuk" title="Eric Menyuk">Eric Menyuk</a>, <a href="Mark_Lindsay_Chapman" title="Mark Lindsay Chapman">Mark Lindsay Chapman</a>, <a href="Kevin_Peter_Hall" title="Kevin Peter Hall">Kevin Peter Hall</a>, and <a href="Kelvin_Han_Yee" title="Kelvin Han Yee">Kelvin Han Yee</a> were considered for the role.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Data was found by Starfleet in 2338. He was the sole survivor on Omicron Theta in the rubble of a colony left after an attack from the <a href="Crystalline_Entity" class="mw-redirect" title="Crystalline Entity">Crystalline Entity</a>. He is a <a href="Synthetic_biology" title="Synthetic biology">synthetic lifeform</a> with <a href="Artificial_intelligence" title="Artificial intelligence">artificial intelligence</a>, designed and built by <a href="Noonien_Soong" class="mw-redirect" title="Noonien Soong">Doctor Noonien Soong</a> in his own likeness (likewise portrayed by Spiner).

</p><p>His <a href="Positronic_brain" title="Positronic brain">positronic brain</a> allows him impressive computational capabilities. He experienced ongoing difficulties during the early years of his life with understanding various aspects of <a href="Human_behavior" title="Human behavior">human behavior</a><sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and was unable to feel <a href="Emotion" title="Emotion">emotion</a> or understand certain human <a href="Idiosyncrasies" class="mw-redirect" title="Idiosyncrasies">idiosyncrasies</a>, inspiring him to strive for his own humanity. This goal eventually led to the addition of an "emotion chip", created by Soong, to Data's positronic net.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Although Data's endeavor to increase his humanity and desire for human emotional experience is a significant plot point (and source of humor) throughout the series, he consistently shows a nuanced sense of wisdom, sensitivity and curiosity, garnering respect from his peers and colleagues.

</p><p>Dialog in "<a href="Datalore" title="Datalore">Datalore</a>" establishes some of Data's backstory. It is stated that he was deactivated in 2336 on Omicron Theta before an attack by the <a href="Crystalline_Entity" class="mw-redirect" title="Crystalline Entity">Crystalline Entity</a>, a spaceborne creature which converts life forms to energy for sustenance. He was found and reactivated by Starfleet personnel two years later. Data went to <a href="Starfleet_Academy" class="mw-redirect" title="Starfleet Academy">Starfleet Academy</a> from 2341 to 2345 (he describes himself as "Class of '78" to Commander <a href="William_Riker" title="William Riker">William Riker</a> in the series premiere "<a href="Encounter_at_Farpoint" title="Encounter at Farpoint">Encounter at Farpoint</a>"—with "<a href="Honor_society" title="Honor society">honors</a> in probability mechanics and exobiology", although canonically may only refer to the <a href="Stardate" title="Stardate">stardate</a>) and then served in <a href="Starfleet" title="Starfleet">Starfleet</a> aboard the USS <i>Trieste</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He was assigned to the <i>Enterprise</i> under Captain <a href="Jean-Luc_Picard" title="Jean-Luc Picard">Jean-Luc Picard</a> in 2364. In "Datalore", Data discovers his amoral brother, <a href="Lore_(Star_Trek)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lore (Star Trek)">Lore</a>, and learns that Dr. Noonien Soong created Data after Lore. Lore fails in an attempt to betray the <i>Enterprise</i> to the Crystalline Entity, and <a href="Wesley_Crusher" title="Wesley Crusher">Wesley Crusher</a> <a href="Transporter_(Star_Trek)" title="Transporter (Star Trek)">beams</a> Data's brother into space at the episode's conclusion. Lore claimed that Data was "less-perfect", which was a lie, as Soong later confirmed to Data in "Brothers"; the only real difference between the two of them "was some programming" (Lore's positronic net differed from Data's: it had a Type-"L" phase discriminator compared to Data's Type-"R"; see episode "<a href="Time's_Arrow_(Star_Trek%3A_The_Next_Generation)" title="Time's Arrow (Star Trek: The Next Generation)">Time's Arrow</a>").

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Television_series_and_films">Television series and films</h3></div>

<p>It was in the Star Trek prequel "<a href="Star_Trek%3A_Enterprise" title="Star Trek: Enterprise">Star Trek: Enterprise</a>" episode "<a href="The_Augments_(Star_Trek%3A_Enterprise)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Augments (Star Trek: Enterprise)">The Augments</a>" that the origin of Data can be traced back to a scientific theory created by genetic engineer Arik Soong, ancestor to Data's "father/creator" Noonien Soong, who noted that his theory would take generations beyond his lifetime to develop into a practical working model. Arik Soong created the theory while serving life imprisonment for recreating the discontinued "Augments" program which originally started the Eugenics War of the late 20th century. This links the Data storyline to that of Khan Noonien Singh from the <a href="Star_Trek%3A_The_Original_Series" title="Star Trek: The Original Series">original <i>Star Trek</i></a>.

</p><p>In "<a href="The_Measure_of_a_Man_(Star_Trek%3A_The_Next_Generation)" title="The Measure of a Man (Star Trek: The Next Generation)">The Measure of a Man</a>", a Starfleet judge rules that Data is not Starfleet property.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Data's family is expanded in "<a href="The_Offspring_(Star_Trek%3A_The_Next_Generation)" title="The Offspring (Star Trek: The Next Generation)">The Offspring</a>", which introduces Lal, a <a href="Gynoid" title="Gynoid">gynoid</a> based on Data's neural interface and whom Data refers to as his daughter. Lal "dies" shortly after activation. In "<a href="Brothers_(Star_Trek%3A_The_Next_Generation)" title="Brothers (Star Trek: The Next Generation)">Brothers</a>", Data reunites with Dr. Soong. There he meets again with Lore, who steals the emotion chip Soong meant for Data to receive. Lore then fatally wounds Soong. In "<a href="Descent_(Star_Trek%3A_The_Next_Generation)" title="Descent (Star Trek: The Next Generation)">Descent</a>", Lore returns, using the emotion chip to control Data and make him help with Lore's attempt to make the <a href="Borg_(Star_Trek)" class="mw-redirect" title="Borg (Star Trek)">Borg</a> entirely artificial lifeforms. Data eventually deactivates Lore, and recovers, but does not install the damaged emotion chip. In "<a href="Inheritance_(Star_Trek%3A_The_Next_Generation)" title="Inheritance (Star Trek: The Next Generation)">Inheritance</a>", Soong's former wife Juliana reunites with Data, though the crew discovers she was a gynoid duplicate built by Soong after the real Julianna's death, programmed to die after a long life, and to believe she is the true Julianna unaware of the fact she is an android. Faced with the decision, Data chooses not to disclose this to her and allows her to continue her normal life.

</p><p>In "<a href="All_Good_Things..._(Star_Trek%3A_The_Next_Generation)" title="All Good Things... (Star Trek: The Next Generation)">All Good Things...</a>", the two-hour series finale of <i>The Next Generation</i>, Captain Picard travels among three different time periods. The Picard of 25 years into the future goes with <a href="Geordi_La_Forge" title="Geordi La Forge">Geordi La Forge</a> to seek advice from now Professor Data, a luminary physicist who holds the <a href="Lucasian_Professor_of_Mathematics" title="Lucasian Professor of Mathematics">Lucasian Chair</a> at <a href="University_of_Cambridge" title="University of Cambridge">Cambridge University</a>.

</p><p>In the film <i><a href="Star_Trek_Generations" title="Star Trek Generations">Star Trek Generations</a></i>, Data finally installs the emotion chip he retrieved from Lore, and experiences the full scope of emotions.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, those emotions proved difficult to control and Data struggled to master them. In <i><a href="Star_Trek%3A_First_Contact" title="Star Trek: First Contact">Star Trek: First Contact</a></i>, Data has managed to gain complete control of the chip, which includes deactivating it to maintain his performance efficiency. In the film <i><a href="Star_Trek%3A_Nemesis" title="Star Trek: Nemesis">Star Trek: Nemesis</a></i>, Data beams Picard off an enemy ship before destroying it, sacrificing himself and saving the captain and crew of the <i>Enterprise</i>. However, Data had copied his core memories into <a href="B-4_(Star_Trek)" class="mw-redirect" title="B-4 (Star Trek)">B-4</a>, his lost brother who is introduced in the movie. This was done with the reluctant help of La Forge, who voiced concerns about how this could cause B-4 to be nothing more than an exact duplicate of Data.

</p><p>In the <a href="Star_Trek%3A_Picard_season_1" title="Star Trek: Picard season 1">first season</a> of <i>Star Trek: Picard</i>, Data is seen in Picard's dreams, playing poker with him in Ten-Forward, and later painting in the middle of the vineyards of Chateau Picard. It is revealed that Dahj and Soji Asha are Data's daughters, created through fractal neuronic cloning, a procedure developed by Dr. <a href="Bruce_Maddox" class="mw-redirect" title="Bruce Maddox">Bruce Maddox</a>. These neurons were apparently salvaged from B-4, who had been dismantled and placed in storage after his positronic net was found to be too primitive to integrate Data's memories. However, Data's consciousness is revealed to still exist inside a quantum simulation crafted by Maddox and based upon memories retrieved from the neurons Maddox salvaged from B-4, the equipment holding the network now in the possession of Altan Soong, Noonien Soong's biological son. After Picard dies, Altan Soong transfers Picard's consciousness into a golem intended for his own consciousness and Picard meets with Data inside the simulation. Data requests that Picard terminate his consciousness, which would allow Data the experience of dying, believing that he could only truly <i>live</i> if he had a finite lifespan. Once Picard awakens, he carries out Data's wish and Data's consciousness rapidly ages to death, Picard giving a brief eulogy as he observes that what made Data remarkable was his ability to see humanity's worst traits and still aspire to the best parts of the <a href="Human_condition" title="Human condition">human condition</a>.

</p><p>In the <a href="Star_Trek%3A_Picard_season_3" title="Star Trek: Picard season 3">third season</a> of <i>Star Trek: Picard</i>, Data is revealed to have been revived by Altan within a new synthetic body, having partially merged with Lore, B-4, and the memories of Altan Soong himself. It's believed by Riker that while Data's memories had previously been unrecoverable, the lifting of the ban on synthetics had allowed Soong to work on it more and properly extract them from B-4. The new android was requisitioned by the Daystrom Institute, Starfleet's foremost advanced research center. Riker, <a href="Worf" title="Worf">Worf</a>, and <a href="Raffi_Musiker" class="mw-redirect" title="Raffi Musiker">Raffi Musiker</a> steal the android, and bring him aboard the USS <i>Titan</i>, where he is reunited with Picard. The android entity holds valuable information on Daystrom's research projects, and Data's persona reveals that the antagonists of the season have stolen Picard's original dead organic body. However, it takes several hours for La Forge to re-engineer the android to allow Data's persona to truly dominate it, with Lore's persona dominating in the meantime. Data's persona is seemingly unable to overpower Lore who has taken over the <i>Titan</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s systems, but upon realizing that Lore envied the compassion and empathy Data developed from his memories, Data eventually surrenders them to Lore. Lore initially regards them as his battle trophies; they consume him, reintegrating Lore and reconstituting Data, allowing him to fully take over the new body and reprogram the <i>Titan</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'s</span> systems against the Changelings. Data's personality is thus newly enriched, and attains its most human-like state with Data stating that he is Data, but also Lore, B-4, Lal and everything else that Soong had programmed into the android.

</p><p>In the series final episodes, the Changelings are revealed to be working with the Borg who take over Starfleet. Data plays an instrumental role in the final defeat of the Borg, piloting the rebuilt USS <i>Enterprise</i>-D to the heart of a Borg cube over <a href="Jupiter" title="Jupiter">Jupiter</a> on a gut feeling, a feat that La Forge had believed to be impossible for even a computer or the best pilot to accomplish. Afterwards, Data attempts to adjust to having an artificial organic body and everything that comes with it and is last seen playing poker with his <i>Enterprise</i> crewmates at the Ten Forward bar in Los Angeles.

</p><p>In <i><a href="Star_Trek%3A_Lower_Decks" title="Star Trek: Lower Decks">Star Trek: Lower Decks</a></i> <a href="Star_Trek%3A_Lower_Decks_season_5" title="Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5">season 5</a>'s "Fully Dilated," an alternate universe version of Data gets trapped in the prime universe. This version of Data, who is purple, is still active in 2382 rather than having been destroyed years earlier and serves on the <i>Enterprise</i>-D which is similarly still intact. The alternate Data is shown to share many of his prime counterpart's traits and even some of his experiences, such as a close friendship with Geordi La Forge and <a href="Time's_Arrow_(Star_Trek%3A_The_Next_Generation)" title="Time's Arrow (Star Trek: The Next Generation)">getting trapped in 19th century San Francisco</a>. After the <i>Enterprise</i> briefly crosses into the prime universe via a mysterious interdimensional rift "while battling some evil clones of <a href="Tasha_Yar" title="Tasha Yar">Tasha Yar</a>, or something," Data is left behind and his shuttle crashes on Dilmer III, a pre-industrial planet experiencing <a href="Time_dilation" title="Time dilation">time dilation</a>. Data's head -- the only part of his body to survive -- is recovered by Starfleet lieutenants Beckett Mariner, D'Vana Tendi, and T'Lyn, but a transporter mishap strands them on the planet for a year of relative time. During this period, Tendi finds a way to power Data's head and reactivate him and he provides her with advice and help with her science. Data is eventually beamed to the USS <i>Cerritos</i> where he recommends both Tendi and T'Lyn for the open senior science officer position. The crew load Data's head into a torpedo casing and fire it back through the rift to be recovered by the <i>Enterprise</i> on the other side.

</p>

<p><b>Spot</b> is Data's pet cat and a recurring character in the show. Spot appears in several episodes during <i>TNG</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s last four seasons, as well as in the feature films <i><a href="Star_Trek_Generations" title="Star Trek Generations">Star Trek Generations</a></i> and <i><a href="Star_Trek%3A_Nemesis" title="Star Trek: Nemesis">Star Trek: Nemesis</a></i>. She first appears in the episode "<a href="Data's_Day" title="Data's Day">Data's Day</a>".

In <i><a href="Star_Trek%3A_Picard" title="Star Trek: Picard">Star Trek: Picard</a></i>, his memories of Spot are the last ones that Data "surrenders" to Lore.
