| - The Phoenician people represent Phoenicia, which appears as a playable civilization in the Call to Power games.
- The Phoenician people were ancient Humans who were the technological front runners of Human ancient societies around the Mediterranean Sea from 1200 BCE to 900 BCE. Their power base bloomed with the widespread destruction of most Mediterranean civilizations in 1200 BCE. As a people they were most famous for a vast and successful trading empire and the worship of Baal. It was long accepted that the Phoenicians practiced child sacrifice, but this came into question in the 21st century. This new theory suggested that the early Israelites invented the story of child sacrifice due to technological jealousy.
- Phoenician was a language spoken from the late Second Millennium, first in the small coastal region of Phoenicia, and then throughout the Mediterranean, until the 6th century A.D., certain derivations surviving until the Muslim conquest of North Africa. It is an Afro-Asiatic language of the Semitic family and is most closely related to Hebrew and other Canaanite tongues.

In 2267, Spock used Phoenician child sacrifice as an example of the Federation's lack of religious freedom. (TOS novel: Mission to Horatius)
- The Phoenician people represent Phoenicia, which appears as a playable civilization in the Call to Power games.
- Phoenician was a language spoken from the late Second Millennium, first in the small coastal region of Phoenicia, and then throughout the Mediterranean, until the 6th century A.D., certain derivations surviving until the Muslim conquest of North Africa. It is an Afro-Asiatic language of the Semitic family and is most closely related to Hebrew and other Canaanite tongues. There were several dialects of Phoenician: the languages of Byblos, Cyprus, Tyre, Sidon, and the Western colonies each had their own peculiarities. Byblan, even from the earliest inscriptions, had distinct idiosyncrasies that set it apart from the rest. However, the major split is between the Eastern and Western branches of the language. The Eastern part was spoken in Phoenicia proper and the islands of the Mediterranean. The Western part, or "Punic," was spoken in the Phoenician colony of Carthage and its many holdings. Punic survived the destruction of the city by the Romans in the 2nd century B.C., and it developed into "Neo-Punic," which was spoken until Arabic superseded it in the 6th century.
