Biography
Data was a male android developed by the scientist Dr. Noonien Soong in the 24th century with the goal of creating an artificial intelligence that was sapient. He was the fifth of six known androids developed by Soong with Data being created on the world of Omicron Theta around the year 2336. Soong's prior creation was another android known as Lore who had been deactivated. (TNG: Datalore) This was done so against the protests of Soong's wife Juliana. (TNG: Datalore) According to Noonien, he had built Data to be perfect amongst his androids with the intention of making these improvements to Lore. (TNG: Brothers). During his development, Juliana came to see Data as a beloved son but came to fear for him as she thought he would either fail like his previous 'brothers' or become dangerous like Lore which would have resulted in him being dismantled. (TNG: Inheritance)
