Gorman

A primitive astronomer on Goran IV, circa Stardate 8124.2. Gorman was considered a heretic for exploring the heavens in defiance of theocratic law. Spock was amazed that Gorman had developed the telescope, astrolabe and sextant without help. Unbeknownst to Gorman, his workshop contains the materials to create a battery-powered radio transmitter.
