Changes: Luther Sloan

Revision as of 18:08, 12 May 2007

For Sloan's mirror universe counterpart, see Luther Sloan (mirror).

Director Luther Sloan was an operative of the rogue intelligence agency known as Section 31.

Sloan was born on Earth near Pretoria, South Africa. Sloan graduated from Starfleet Academy, but did not study at the main campus in San Francisco, instead studying on an Academy satellite campus. Under "career goals" on his academy application, Sloan wrote that one day wished to be the head of Starfleet Intelligence.

In 2360, Sloan met with head of Starfleet Intelligence, Admiral Uhura. Upon noting Sloan's career goal, Uhura privately vowed that Sloan would never be head of S.I. while she lived.(TLE novel: Catalyst of Sorrows)

In 2371, Sloan assigned ensign Roberta Luke to the USS Voyager (NCC-74656) to gather intelligence about the Maquis before that vessel was lost in the Delta Quadrant. (S31 novel: Shadow)

In 2374, Sloan intercepted a stolen shipment of latinum from a Hamexi named Mexh Brixhta,. The latinum itself was unimportant to Sloan and Section 31, but the vials that contained the latinum also contained scientific data and formulae that Section 31 needed to perfect their virus designed to eliminate the shape-shifting Founders. (DS9 novel: Hollow Men)

Later that year, Sloan attempted to recruit Dr. Julian Bashir into the agency. Bashir refused, but Sloan still considered Bashir to be an asset, and later recuited him for an assignment on Romulus. (DS9 episodes "Inquisition", "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")

Sloan died by his own hand in 2375, after being lured to DS9 by Bashir, who needed information from Sloan in order to develop a cure for the disease that was wiping out the Founders and created by Section 31. Bashir and Miles O'Brien managed to capture Sloan and were going to interogate him using a Romulan mind-probe device, but Sloan activated an implant in his brain, choosing suicide over allowing the secrets within his mind to be revealed to Bashir. (DS9 episode: "Extreme Measures")
