The Orion captain was a 23rd century Orion individual, an officer in the Orion Colonies' pirate fleet.

Biography[]

This Orion captain (or elt) was a starship commanding officer of an Orion pirate ship.

When cornered by the Enterprise, he first denied his ship's involvement, then accepted Captain James T. Kirk's offer to return the strobolin in exchange for keeping the dilithium and Kirk's silence, preserving Orion neutrality. But he didn't trust Kirk, and chose the suicidal destruction of both ships to conceal their actions. He chose to make a handover on the surface of a nearby asteroid, while carrying an explosive device. He claimed he'd often wondered what instant death would feel like.

But the attempt was thwarted, and he was captured by Kirk. He then attempted to swallow a poison pill, but was stopped by Starfleet guards. With no other choice, he ordered his executive officer Cophot to stand down their self-destructive attack. He and his crew were captured by the Enterprise crew. (TAS episode & Log Five novelization: The Pirates of Orion)
