Pyramid

A pyramid is a three-dimensional geometric shape composed of four triangles connected by one point at the top and with a square for the base. The word describes not only the shape, but also the beings, buildings, objects and starships that have this shape, such as the Great Pyramid in Egypt on Earth and a Redeemer starship.

Beings
The non-corporeal Phaetonian crew of the USS Icarus (23rd century) were contained in 18-inch-tall glass pyramids, which were connected to voders and an antigravity propulsion system. Wires from the pyramids connected the crew to the control consoles of the starship. 

Ambassador Hotep of Djoser looked like a gray sculpture of a pyramid, but could manifest a mouth, ears, eyes, nose and arms when desired. 

Buildings
The Mayan Chichén Itzá pyramid on Earth was holographically recreated by Kukulkan in 2269 as a puzzle to solve for a landing party from the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). The actual pyramid was visited by Sean Hawk in 2372 before reporting to his new post aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)-E. (SS TNG (Seeing Forever))

The third-largest building on the Sarkassian outpost on planetoid Eris Alpha IIIa was a pyramid 1/4 mile long on each side. 

In the year 2274, two pyramids were found on the surface of Zeta Reticuli II. One contained the firing mechanism for a beam capable of condensing metallic matter. It was fired at the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), causing the ship to shrink, but not the crew within. 

The control tower of the Cardassian Heavenward Prayer Spaceport on Bajor was a 20-story-tall pyramid. 

A pyramid taller than the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was found on Alnath II. It was more than three thousand years old and used as recently as 50,000 years ago. It was the only structure left on the planet. )

Objects
Gary Seven had a small green, pyramid paperweight on his desk, a remote interface for his Beta 6 computer. 

A modified Federation I-12 micro-sensor was a palm-sized translucent pyramid that could receive and transmit sounds up to 30,000 kilometers away, and could pick up strong mental images. It was turned on and off by waving a hand over the tip. 

Annorax kept a lock of his wife’s hair in a clear pyramid-shaped container aboard his Krenim temporal weapon ship. 

A three-story shrine in the Ajorra Caves in Maharashtra was made in the shape of a pyramid to honor Mount Meru in the Himalayas. 

Project Parity, the Thalaron radiation bomb which destroyed Romulus in the Mirror Universe in 2373, was contained in a clear pyramid with a C-170 core. (SS NF (🇸🇸))
