Imzadi - Powerful Betazoid term that describes the enduring bond of love and friendship shared by former lovers and friends Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) and Commander William T. Riker (Jonathan Frakes) on the sci-fi adventure STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/SYN/1987-94. Deanna and Will were reunited on the premier episode "Far Point Station." The novel Imzadi (1992) written by Peter David explored Troi's and Riker's relationship. On page 217 Deanna enlightens Will by telling him "the concept of Imzadi goes beyond the physical. You've had other women physically. I know that. And even though I haven't had other men before you, that's almost incidental. To be Imzadi is to go far deeper than that. Don't you understand, Will? Other women may have had your body," she smiled "but I'm the first who's ever touched your soul."
