Background

This character was not mentioned in dialogue, but was listed on the dedication plaque set pieces and other set artwork. The names listed were references to members of the Star Trek production staff, and in this case, the character was named for Rick Berman^MA. Four of the plaques identified his rank as admiral and all but two gave his assignment as Starfleet Command. The Phoenix and Sutherland plaques identified his assignment as being Fleet Ops. A plaque for the USS Odyssey in DS9 episode: "The Jem'Hadar" would have listed him as well, but the prop was not used on screen.
