Aidan Burgess

Aidan Burgess was a Federation ambassador.

In 2298, Ambassador Burgess worked with the crew of the USS Excelsior (NCC-2000) during an encounter with the Tholians. During the mission, first contact was made with the Neyel, a long lost tribe of Humanity. 

Burgess' example of peaceful coexistence inspired the Neyel Seekers After Penance to try and change their people's attitudes to alien races.
