Hacker was a Human man, a security officer who served in Starfleet aboard the Federation starship USS Enterprise under the command of Captain James T. Kirk in the late 2260s.
History[]
In 2269, Ensign Hacker was in the transporter room when Montgomery Scott reintegrated Cyrano Jones, whose transport was disrupted after his scout ship was destroyed by the IKS Devisor. When Jones materialized along with dozens of tribbles, Kirk asked Hacker to immediately seal off the area. (TAS episode & Log Four novelization: More Tribbles, More Troubles)
Kirk assigned Hacker to keep an eye on Jones and have security prepare quarters for him. Kirk told him in no uncertain terms not to listen to a word Jones said, "and above all... don't let him sell you anything." (TAS - Log Four novelization: More Tribbles, More Troubles)
