Ensign Taskul was an Arcturian mining engineer assigned to the USS Enterprise in the 23rd century.
Biography
After the ship’s dilithium reserves were fused in 2273, the Enterprise traveled for nine days at impulse to Forma VI, the site of a Federation colony and a played-out dilithium mine. Ensign Taskul was chosen for the landing party by James T. Kirk as an expert in exploring alternative strategies to scan for dilithium. Taskul cited a new method of detection which could locate a dilithium vein despite the normal shielding effect of ores like lead or gold. Later, despite using every known technique, Taskul confessed to having found no dilithium in the mine. Spock and a troop of Klingons also were unsuccessful. (TOS comic: "Dilithium Dilemma")
Klingon refugee Morg antagonized Taskul, calling him ”blob face.” The Arcturian wanted to respond, but Pavel Chekov stopped him. (TOS comic: "Double Bluff")

During the biannual maintenance in 2274 at Hus-24, the crews of the Enterprise and USS Venture (Constitution-class) were detained and enslaved, with women working in grain fields and men excavating a mine. As the men attempted to escape, Taskul questioned Kirk’s orders to Chekov to set their nine captured hand phasers on heavy stun, when they faced an opposition of hundreds of Husians who had their weapons set to kill.
