Answer: Commodore

The rank of Commodore is more senior to Captain, but junior to Rear Admiral.

In "The Doomsday Machine", Commodore Decker was the commanding officer of USS Constellation, which was crippled in an encounter with the planet killer. Decker was killed trying to destroy the planet killer in one of USS Enterprise's shuttlecraft.

Gene Roddenberry wrote that Matt Decker was the father of Will Decker, who featured in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture".

Question by Daddy19

Answer: Castillo

A temporal distortion caused the Enterprise-C to emerge in the Enterprise-D's era and change the timeline. Lt. Richard Castillo was helmsman to Capt. Rachael Garrett. The 'C' had been fighting the Romulans at Narendra III. A massive photon torpedo volley sent the 'C' twenty-two years into the future. By the time the situation was understood, Garrett had died of injuries from a separate attack by Klingons. Castillo volunteered to take the ship back through a temporal rift and restore the timeline.

Question by CmdrK

Answer: Zephram Cochrane

Cochrane explains to Kirk and company that at the age of 87, he left Earth to go into space to die alone. The Companion saved his life, and rejuvenated him. It has been 150 years since that time.

Glenn Corbett played Zephram Cochrane in this episode. The character was also played by actor James Cromwell in the film "Star Trek: First Contact", where he has just invented the warp drive in the year 2063.

Question by reedy

Answer: "The Cage"

"The Cage" was originally rejected by NBC, but in an unprecedented action, ordered a second pilot. "Where No Man Has Gone Before" became the first episode of the first season of "TOS", and the discarded pilot was remade into "The Menagerie", which was broadcast as a two-part story for the eleventh and twelfth episodes of the first season.

Question by reedy

Answer: Charles Tucker III

It was the 'the third' at the end of his name that earned Commander Tucker the nickname 'Trip'.

In the episode "Unexpected", he became the first human male to be pregnant following a visit to a Xyrillian ship (although genetically he was not the father, just the baby's host).

Question by Daddy19

Answer: Crater

From the episode we learned that the Craters had lived on the planet for five years. The shape-shifting creature killed Nancy Crater for the salt in her body and took her form. Known originally as the "M-113 creature", Trekkers have renamed her "the salt vampire."

Question by CmdrK

Answer: Clarinet

Harry's clarinet is seen and referenced on several occasions in "VOY", although he initially forgot to take it with him when he boarded and had to save up replicator rations to be able to get a new one. When Voyager traveled through a region of the Delta quadrant with no stars or planets, Harry composed a piece called "Echoes of the Void".

We also see Keiko O'Brien play the clarinet in "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
