For the planet, please see Jupiter.
Jupiter was the king of the gods in Roman mythology. He was the god of the sky and thunder.
Jupiter was worshiped on the planet 892-IV as well, but the Children of the Son considered him a false god.
The Jupiter 8 sports car was named after Jupiter. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses")
In the final draft script of TOS: "Charlie X", an early version of nonsense poem "Saturn Rings", which Charles Evans forced Spock to recite, included the line, "Jupiter's chariot 'neath my feet, down the road that's Martian red."
