| The plant is hardy and can grow in a variety of conditions, typically in low-nutrient soil, although it requires an aluminous component in its soil in order to thrive. It is highly resistant to frost and can survive temperatures down to 223K for moderate durations. However, on most worlds it is rapidly outcompeted by other plant due to the restrictive conditions under which it bears fruit. Veil-2358 IX has a highly eccentric orbit, and the plant requires a significant temperature and light variation to facilitate its reproductive cycle. It requires a prolonged period of low temperature and light levels, slowly increasing to temperatures of 290K. Once warmth passes 270K, the plant will briefly flower for about 10 standard days, after which fruit will form, requiring another 20 standard days to fully ripen. Interruptions in the temperature/light curve will cause the plant to conserve energy through the warm period rather than flower. | The plant is hardy and can grow in a variety of conditions, typically in low-nutrient soil, although it requires an aluminous component in its soil in order to thrive.

| The extract is produced by warm-pressing the berries and berry stems at 294K, and using an approximately 30/70 propanol/water solution. Extraction under these conditions is optimal for preservation of the neuroprotective properties of the extract. This produces a fairly stable suspension of Roddenberry Extract, which should keep for at least a few years if kept in a sealed, dark container. | The extract is produced by warm-pressing the berries and berry stems at 294K, and using an approximately 30/70 propanol/water solution.

| When linked with nanocarriers designed to bond to neurological cells, the active chemicals in Roddenberry Extract coat the electrochemical pathways inside the cell with a semiconductive film. This film regulates the bioelectrical activity inside the cell, making it highly resistant to bioelectric overload induced by stun weaponry or similar effects. | When linked with nanocarriers designed to bond to neurological cells, the active chemicals in Roddenberry Extract coat the electrochemical pathways inside the cell with a semiconductive film.
