Wayne Sheppard

Wayne Sheppard was the first mate of the Xhosa under Kasidy Yates.

In 2372, Sheppard detected the warp shift from the cloaked that was approaching the Xhosa. Just as twelve Klingons from the M'Char were transporting aboard (with orders from Kaybok to secretly plant an explosive to destroy the Xhosa), Sheppard took the Xhosa to emergency warp, killing the twelve Klingons, who were beamed into space before the M'Char could retrieve them. 

Sheppard later took over running the Xhosa while Yates raised her daughter Rebecca. In 2383, Sheppard attended his sister's wedding on Alpha Centauri.
