Biography[]
Cernan was among the 16 crewmembers of the spaceship ESS Charybdis. Launched on 27 July 2037, this was the third manned attempt by Humans to leave the Sol star system. An alien intelligence took the ship off course, and infected and killed all crewpersons, including Cernan, in 2044. The only survivor was mission commander Stephen Richey. (TNG episode: "The Royale")

Background[]
