Luis Benitez was a Human Starfleet security officer who served in the 23rd century. In 2266, Ensign Benitez was assigned to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). 

History
Upon being assigned to the Enterprise, Luis befriended his roommate, Ensign Jon Anderson, and nicknamed him "Flash" (after Flash Gordon).

Ensign Benitez fought valiantly against the Orions in System 1324, and participated in a skirmish against the Orions and the Klingon Empire in System 7348, helping to protect the indigenous primitive Klingon population. Luis was killed by a Klingon Imperial Intelligence officer to protect the identity of the Klingons' undercover agent aboard Enterprise: his partner, Kell.
