Biography[]
Melkis was a bridge crewman during the ship's engagement with the starship USS Enterprise at Thoris Amarnis IV. At one point, he reported to Sturdevant that fellow crewman Charlie hadn't come back from investigating a disturbance in the cargo bay, and he went to check up on him. As soon as he entered the bay, he was struck and knocked unconscious by Captain James T. Kirk. (TOS comic: "The Nogura Regatta")
