Qatanmek

Qatanmek was a Starfleet Captain in the late 24th century. He was commander of the original USS Hunt from 2364 until the time of his death in service in 2389. Qatanmek was a Denobulan and was known for his eccentric style of command, typical of other males of his species. He had three wives and fathered seventeen children during his lifetime. In 2389 he accepted James Copper as an engineer aboard the Hunt, positioning him on the bridge at the engineering console. Qatanmek died during a battle with the Pellians, when they scored a direct hit on the bridge causing it to depressurise.

Even in death, Qatanmek was able to temporarily appear before a Federation Court to give testimony in support of James Copper, whom had been accused of his murder by Commodore Epidemus. Qatanmek was found languishing in semi-corporeal form by Mirra Boleros and Franklin Drake in the myterious Enigma Nebula, and brought into the prime reality with the help of Drake's access to exotic technology. Following the conclusion of the trial, Copper was able to personally thank Qatanmek for everything he taught him, something he never got round to doing while he was still alive.
