Unlike the Alice series (I, Mudd), the Stella series was a homage to a real, flesh and blood woman.
Stella was Harry Mudd's shrewish wife. He left home to escape her domination, but then, oddly, had the androids create an android double of her, just so he could have the pleasure of telling her to SHUT UP, and have her actually obey, for once.
To punish Harry Mudd, Kirk had the androids create multiple copies of Stella, but these ones wouldn't obey Mudd's commands. Kirk left Harry Mudd in the midst of 500 nagging Stellas who wouldn't shut up, and BTW who had a lot of complaints!
