Rick

"Rick" was the captain of the USS Coto, an United Earth Starfleet cruiser. He was a friend of Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise (NX-01).

In May 2159, the Coto was ambushed by three Romulan vessels while responding to a general distress call. The Coto took refuge in a protostellar nebula and sent out a distress call. The Enterprise responded and tractored the Coto out of the nebula, where it restarted its engines. Later, they assisted T'Uerell of the Vulcan ship Seleya, and escorted her to her starbase. When they arrived, they found it was under attack by Romulans. They defended the base until T'Uerell destroyed it.
