Changes: Black (Admiral)

Revision as of 20:20, 10 August 2015

AT: "mu"

Admiral Black was a high-ranking member of Starfleet in the mid-22nd century. In that capacity, Black forced Maximilian Forrest, captain of the ISS Enterprise, to replace his own chief engineer with Commander Charles Tucker. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly")

Black was aboard the ISS Avenger in 2155 when it came under attack by rebel forces. After Avenger's captain was killed, Black took command and attempted to combat the rebel vessels. Black and the rest of the Avenger crew were saved, however, by the intervention of Commander Jonathan Archer aboard the USS Defiant, a starship from the future with extremely advanced technology.

After accepting Archer's invitation to board the Defiant, Black congratulated him on the achievement of appropriating such a powerful vessel for the Empire, and informed him that he intended to recommend he be given a command of his own. Archer subsequently requested a battlefield commission of captain of the Defiant, to which Black responded that the Defiant would be returned to Earth where its tactical systems could be analyzed. In response to Black's refusal to grant him command of the Defiant, Archer killed Black by vaporizing him with a hand phaser. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")

Admiral Black was played by Gregory Itzin.
It is unknown whether he had a counterpart in the regular universe, as no such person has ever been seen. His regular universe counterpart was, however, featured in several novels. Mike Sussman named the admiral after writer Chris Black.

The Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives his full name as Logan Black. Meanwhile, the novel The Good That Men Do gives his counterpart's first name as Gregory. In both this novel and Beneath the Raptor's Wing, the primary universe Black is portrayed as a high-ranking admiral in the United Earth Starfleet prior to and during the Earth-Romulan War. The latter novel gives his full name as Gregory Logan Black.

Black also held jurisdiction over the Terran [[flagship]] {{ISS|Enterprise|NX-01}} and the [[starship]] {{ISS|Avenger}} prior to his death in January of 2155.

-==Biography==
-Black had personally recommended several crewmembers for the Terran flagship ''Enterprise'', including [[chief engineer]] {{mu|Charles Tucker III|Tucker}}, insisting to Captain [[Maximilian Forrest|Forrest]] that he replace his own engineer with Tucker. ({{ENT|In a Mirror, Darkly}})  Black would also be given the authority to grant [[battlefield commission]]s as a part of his duties. ({{ENT|In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II}})
-Black would later be on the ''Avenger'' which was part of an [[assault fleet]] that was attacked by rebels and assumed command when the vessel's [[ISS Avenger personnel#Human Captain|Captain]] was killed.  Black ordered the ''Avenger''{{'}}s tactical officer to concentrate weapons on the Andorian ships when the {{USS|Defiant|NCC-1764}} arrived, rescuing the ship and surviving crew.  Black was contacted personally by Commander Archer who immediately asked for Captain Forrest and was invited to tour ''Defiant'' for himself, later finding the ship to be "''a most impressive vessel''". ({{ENT|In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II}})
+After accepting Archer's invitation to board the ''Defiant'', Black congratulated him on the achievement of appropriating such a powerful vessel for [[Terran Empire|the Empire]], and informed him that he intended to recommend he be given a command of his own.

In response to Black's refusal to grant him command of the ''Defiant'', Archer killed Black by vaporizing him with a [[hand phaser]]. ({{ENT|In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II}})
-Black declined to make Archer the [[commanding officer]] of ''Defiant'', stating that other plans would likely be in motion for the ship including reverse engineering it's systems, adding that the people of Earth would be indebted to ''Commander'' Archer.  Infuriated with Black's decision Archer vaporized Black with a [[phaser]] set on maximum, remarking the Admiral was "relieved". ({{ENT|In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II}})
