This alien ensign manned the Internal Security monitors on the bridge of the USS Enterprise during the V'ger mission.


In 1998, Marvel Comics revisited the Enterprise during Kirk's second five year mission: his "Untold Voyages". The Rhaandarite ensign was still aboard (as Acting Science Officer), his name finally revealed as Omal.
