Frank Malan

Frank Malan was a human Starfleet cadet in the late 23rd century. He led a bridge simulation cadet group, acting as its captain. He also had an adversarial relationship with David Forester, another cadet captain, and made no secret his strong dislike for him. Malan was part of The Vanguard, a political group that believed the federation should take a more hard line approach to hostile species, such as the Klingons and Romulans. He was also a racist, going so far as to refer to Vanda M'Giia as "the alien". In his final year at the academy he and a large number of Vanguard supporters were arrested for attempting to blow up several key federation facilities on Earth.
