Phillips (astrobiologist)

Phillips was a 23rd century Human individual who served Starfleet's sciences division, specializing in the field of astrobiology.

In 2268, Phillips was assigned to Federation starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). He was one of the crewmen selected for a theoretical landing party to survey planet Alpha Carinae II. Phillips was selected by both the M-5 computer and Captain James T. Kirk for the team, based on his prior experience surveying 29 biologically similar planets. 


 * In, the scene where Phillips's name was mentioned had the name Mason in its place, presumably derived from an earlier revision of the script supplied to novelist James Blish.
