Last clues. I'm not copying them all again, so just add these to the previous ones. If no one else gets it, WW, please chime in.
"You'll have warp drive, Captain, though it may not be what you expected."
"I'd say that calls for an explanation."
"Sir, we'll be able to give you warp one..."
"-- for just under two seconds."
"Well, not enough for an escape but used as a surprise, sufficient for gaining a strategic advantage."
"Sir, all of this is 'theoretical'."
"And if the theory fails to pay off?"
"Ever driven a Grenthemen Water Hopper?"
"Yes."
"Ever popped the clutch?"
"You're telling me we'll stall the ship?"
"As the Starfleet observer I am ordering you to withdraw!"
"I am the captain of this vessel! Your order is nullified!"
"At the captain's signal, we will fire four photon torpedoes directly at the Hathaway. A millisecond before detonation, the computer will trigger your warp jump."
"I think I hate this plan. We don't even know for sure if our warp jump will work."
"If the warp engines should fail to function, the result could be... unfortunate."
Don't remember the name of the episode, but it's TNG where Data was beaten at Strategema, and Riker, LaForge, and Wesley were battling the enterprise with an old ship in an exercise of war.

Correct!
The name, IIRC, is "Peak Performance."
I'm hazy on the spelling, but Starfleet finally decided to get serious and do some war-games. (About time!)
Riker's crew got the derelict USS Hathaway spaceworthy-although it was unable to fire phasers or use the warp-drive
(there were a few fragments of dilithium crystal, but no plasma to fuel it.) After being told to improvise, Wesley "discarded"
his recent science experiment by beaming it aboard the Hathaway, which gave them a little plasma for the warp-drive.
Zakdornian observer Sirna Kolrami didn't take him seriously, so he got away with it. Data, meanwhile, had trouble accepting
a loss at a game didn't mean he was flawed-but later, changed the conditions he played for- which meaned Kolrami threw
the match, leaving in frustration from the stalemate. In other words, Data busted him up. :)
I'm a fan of strategic considerations in episodes, and liked seeing Riker and Worf get their crew and ship going.
I also agree that the Zakdornian reputation counts for nothing if it's not tested in military conditions.
Kolrami was convinced Riker was a poor officer just because he was personable- but Riker succeeded in getting his crew
to "do the impossible" and do a warp-jump. Not to mention simulate a Romulan warbird attack- which meant the
Enterprise was in trouble when it ignored the next "simulation"-a Ferengi Marauder- which was quite real and just
passing through. Reminds me of one of Murphy's Rules of War: "that feint you are ignoring is the enemy's main attack."
I also loved the exchange when Riker asked Kolrami what the word for 'mismatch' was.
Kolrami, when he said that the opponent in the superior position is expected to win, gave Picard an odd look,
as if accusing him of being unable to win despite his spoken comments about Riker not having a real chance.
Somewhere, I have my Star Trek: Collectible Card Game cards, including one for Kolrami.
(I had Riker, Data, Kolrami, but not Worf. Oh, well....)
I remember a time travel episode, where Sisko replaces an activist who was killed. I don't know if that's enough info. (I thibnk it was the one where Dax is also lost back in the same time period. Kira and O'Brien eventully find them.)

These are not quotes from that TWO-PARTER, neither from Part I nor Part II.
But it IS from the one where Nog, Quark and Rom time travel to Roswell, New Mexico, circa 19-whatever it was when the alien craft was supposed to have landed.
But it IS from the one where Nog, Quark and Rom time travel to Roswell, New Mexico, circa 19-whatever it was when the alien craft was supposed to have landed.
Correct- when 3 Ferengi were called "Little Green Men".
Quark's cousin Gaila owed him a ship, and finally dropped it off. Quark gave Nog a lift to Earth to begin at Starfleet Academy (with some smuggled kemacite).
When Gaila's bomb blew out the warp controls, Rom jury-rigged an exit from warp using the kemacite- and they ended up
crashing near Roswell in 1947.
On the way to Earth, Nog was reviewing his gift from Miles and Julian- a databank padd with all sorts of Earth history and information on it.
When he was skimming past the Bell Riots, he noticed the picture looked just like Benjamin Sisko-
which makes sense, since Sisko had replaced Bell accidentally in a previous episode.
"When your captain first approached us we suspected that an agreement with humans would prove impossible to maintain. You are erratic, conflicted, disorganised. Every decision is debated, every action questioned. Every individual entitled to their own small opinion. You lack harmony, cohesion, greatness. It will be your undoing."
Since Raf has abandoned us, I googled the line. Here are more quotes from the episode:
"You've still got a tendril up your nose."
"We don't have to stop being individuals to get through this. We just have to stop fighting each other."
"When your captain first approached us we suspected that an agreement with humans would prove impossible to maintain. You are erratic, conflicted, disorganised. Every decision is debated, every action questioned. Every individual entitled to their own small opinion. You lack harmony, cohesion, greatness. It will be your undoing."
"I want you to know that disobeying your order was one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do."
"I understand...and I respect the decision you made, even though I disagree with it. What's important is that, in the end, we got through this - together; I don't ever want that to change."
"Agreed."
"Good. Well, I think it's time we got back to our bridge."
"No argument there!"
"Right now, your enemy believes it is invulnerable. If we create smaller weapons, using our torpedoes, and destroy a few of their bio-ships, it may deter them, convince them to give up this war."
"You are individuals; you are small and you think in small terms -- but the present situation requires we consider your plan."
"You've still got a tendril up your nose."
"We don't have to stop being individuals to get through this. We just have to stop fighting each other."
"When your captain first approached us we suspected that an agreement with humans would prove impossible to maintain. You are erratic, conflicted, disorganised.

Okay. That was "Scorpion," the two-parter that introduced Seven of Nine.
Here's an "easier" (read "earlier") one:
"War isn't a good life, but it's life."
"There came a time when our weapons grew faster than our wisdom, and we almost destroyed ourselves. We learned from this to make a rule during all our travels never to cause the same to happen to other worlds... just as a man must grow in his own way and his own time."
"A hundred... serpents. Serpents, for the Garden of Eden."
"A balance of power; the dirtiest, trickiest, nastiest game in the book, but the only one that preserves both sides."
"War isn't a good life, but it's life."
"There came a time when our weapons grew faster than our wisdom, and we almost destroyed ourselves. We learned from this to make a rule during all our travels never to cause the same to happen to other worlds... just as a man must grow in his own way and his own time."
Correct! "A Private Little War." My favorite part is when Spock tells Chapell to slap him awake. She starts wailing on him. Scotty doesn't understand and stops her, only to have the doctor come in and start slapping away!

Yes, Cindy! is correct. A charming episode. My favorite exchange is Riker recruiting Worf:
"When you're out-gunned, out-manned, and out-equipped --what else do you have left?"
"Guile."
"Join me."

Sorry....got sidetracked....here ya go!
We are not a violent race,
Captain. Just passionate about
our cause. And that passion has
led some to take up arms.
Do you know where we can find
Orta?
I'm afraid not.
Might you be able to help us
ocate him?
I'm sorry. I don't wish to help
you.

Was this the NG episode with Tasha's sister and an underground resistance movement? I think it was called "Legacy."

GsG.....nope....try again!
We live in different universes,
you and I. Yours is about
diplomacy, politics, strategy.
Mine is about blankets. If we
were to exchange places for a
night, you would better
understand.
Mister Data -- see to it that our
replicators provide blankets for
every man, woman and child here
before nightfall.
Yessir.
Mister Worf, you will determine
if these people have any other
emergency needs and provide
whatever we can...
Aye, sir.
Return to your ship. I will
contact you when I have any
information that might be of
assistance.

Ok, the blankets was sort-of a giveaway.
This is the ST:TNG episode where they spend time with the Bajorans the first time around,
looking for a spokesperson from them for negotiations with the Cardassians on the
Maquis or something.
To do this, they transferred in Ensign Ro (Ro Laren) to the Enterprise.
I think this was the character's introduction, and it was called "Ensign Ro."
(IIRC, the first time we discovered family names come first for Bajorans,
thus "Major Kira" is a title and family name, and "Nerise" is a personal name.)

"The ship... It's here. "
1:"Father, have you ever heard of the Bell Riots?"
2:"Don't bother me now."
1:"But doesn't this Gabriel Bell human look just like Captain Sisko..."
3:"All humans look alike."

That's from TOS.
That's the one where the Klingons arm one side of a conflict between 2 primitive peoples, and Kirk arms the other side.
