Mudd's women
A photograph of the three women
Mudd's women were three adult females whose marriages were arranged by Harcourt Fenton Mudd. The group consisted of the following:
All three women came from backgrounds where there were no men available as spouses to them. They were manipulated by Mudd into consuming the Venus drug, which seemed to make them more attractive in appearance.
In 2266, the women were being ferried to Ophiucus III by Mudd when they were intercepted by the USS Enterprise. The trio of females had a mysterious magnetic effect on the male members of the starship's crew. Ultimately, however, they were married to lithium miners on Rigel XII, where Mudd and the Enterprise left the women. (TOS: "Mudd's Women")
A photograph of the three women was later displayed on the wall of a bar on Starbase 25 in 2381. (LD: "An Embarrassment Of Dooplers")
