Biography[]
In 2268, Satie's sister was killed while serving aboard the USS Defiant, when that vessel experienced interphase in territory claimed by the Tholian Assembly.
In 2269, Satie became so unnerved by the presence of Bright Eyes, a Tholian child rescued by Kirk on Lloyd Zeta IX, that he and three others orchestrated a mutiny. When plasma was ejected from the intermix chamber in an emergency decontamination procedure, Satie claimed he had evidence Bright Eyes was an enemy agent who threatened the ship. While it was being moved within a special environmental force field from sickbay to engineering, Satie and others raised phasers to prevent Montgomery Scott, Hikaru Sulu, and Nyota Uhura from moving forward through the corridors.

At one point, Pavel Chekov fired a warning shot to get them to stand down. The other three surrendered. Chekov fired at Satie's phaser, which discharged at Scott. The beam was absorbed harmlessly by the commander's environmental suit, and security guards took them into custody.
After investigating, Scott discovered that Satie had altered the frequency of the mutineers' phasers to a low pulse, which alone was harmless, but would damage dilithium crystals when discharged at another crystal structure, such as a Tholian's body. This would have created false evidence that Bright Eyes had sabotaged the Enterprise.
Kirk expected to turn him over to authorities at Starbase 14, and Scott would be required to give a statement at Satie's court martial. (TOS - Year Five - Odyssey's End comic: "Issue 4")
