Hans Zakarian

Hans Zakarian was a 24th century Human man who served for decades in Starfleet, becoming a memorable professor at Starfleet Academy.

Biography[]

Zakarian was an expert at survival in jungle conditions. He was also adept at computer programming, Starfleet regulations, mission operation systems, starship tactics, martial arts, and ground vehicle operations. He was familiar with the Cardassian language and shuttlecraft piloting.

Lieutenant commander Zakarian served aboard the USS Rutledge, where his service in wake of the Setlik III Massacre earned him a Federation Medal of Honor and a promotion to commander. He also aided Cardassian refugees Zeela Dorrek and her mother escape to Federation space. He trained her in planetary survival and looked after her as she grew up on Earth.

Shortly afterward, he was assigned to Starfleet Academy in the 2360s as an instructor in Survival Strategies. He earned the nickname "Old Sneezy" from the cadets he taught, as a result of his numerous allergies. His students included B'Elanna Torres and Harry Kim. (VOY episode & novelization: Caretaker, ST reference: The Star Trek Encyclopedia)

During one survival excursion in the Appalachian Mountains, his allergies became so acute that he couldn't breathe. Kim didn't like him. (VOY novelization: Caretaker)

By the year 2371, Zakarian had earned the title Professor of Starfleet Sciences. (Last Unicorn RPG - SA module: Starfleet Academy Handbook)

Quotes[]

"Crew members often find themselves with nothing more to rely on than their training, experience, and the natural resources they can find around them. It is vital for Starfleet officers to know how to survive under such conditions, and how to assist others to help them endure. Better for students to learn some harsh lessons in survival at the Academy than to learn them out in the field after graduation." (Last Unicorn RPG - SA module: Starfleet Academy Handbook)
