History and specifics[]

At some point before the year 2267, Cortneelia gave James T. Kirk a crystal ball with holo as a keepsake. (TOS video game: The Promethean Prophecy)

In the 24th century, one nebula in the galaxy was known as the Crystal Ball Nebula. (TNG - Double Helix novel: Red Sector)

In the 25th century, the Devidian Lord stole the transmuter wand from the ornithoid Old Ones at Castle Pyris, allowing mythical entities to come to life. A group of witches led by a trio of hags formed a coven in one part of the castle, and trapped the Ghostly Fortune Teller in a crystal ball in her chambers. A Khitomer Alliance away team, called to help by Old One Alpha Yenvep, fought the angry spirits occupying the Teller's room while filling a cauldron with ingredients that allowed the ghost's liberation from her crystal ball prison. (STO - House Divided mission: "Cat's Tale")

At one point, the witches seized the Old Ones' transmuter and trapped the Ghostly Fortune Teller in the crystal ball. She was liberated by an Alliance team. (STO - Ascension mission: "Witches Brew")
