Changes: Caithlin Dar

Revision as of 22:35, 4 July 2015

Caithlin Dar was the Romulan representative to Nimbus III, the so-called "Planet of Galactic Peace," in 2287.

When she initially arrived on Nimbus III, she greeted her counterparts, the Klingon, General Korrd, and the Terran, St. John Talbot, with optimism and a cheery disposition, although her positive attitude was not returned.

When the three diplomats were captured by the renegade Vulcan Sybok, they fell under his mental manipulation and chose to join his "Galactic Army of Light." Dar participated in the creation of a hostage tape meant to lure a Federation starship to Nimbus III, with which to further Sybok's goal of locating the mythical planet of Sha Ka Ree. When a rescue team from the USS Enterprise arrived, the three swiftly disarmed them and took control of the ship. Upon the conclusion of the crisis, the three of them shared a drink aboard the Enterprise, with Talbot remarking, "how far we've come in such a short space of time." (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)

Dar was played by actress Cynthia Gouw. The movie novelization explains that her Terran-esque given name, Caithlin, stems from her being one-quarter Human. This also explains her lack of a pronounced Romulan brow. However, neither of these suppositions are canon.

Dar appeared to become romantically involved with her fellow dignitary, St. John Talbot, at the end of Star Trek V.

The movie production may have tried to save money by completely covering what should have been Dar's pointed ears.

+'''Caithlin Dar''' was the [[Romulan]] representative to [[Nimbus III]], the so-called "Planet of Galactic Peace," in [[2287]].
+When she initially arrived on Nimbus III, she greeted her counterparts, the [[Klingon]], [[General]] [[Korrd]], and the [[Terran]], [[St. John Talbot]], with optimism and a cheery disposition, although her positive attitude was not returned.
-She was an ambitious young woman, and saw the Nimbus settlement as a great experiment. But upon arriving, Dar was shocked by the state of the Nimbus III settlement and the attitudes of the other two representatives, [[St. John Talbot]] of [[Earth]] and the [[Klingon]] [[consul]] [[Korrd]]. Dar wanted to settlement to succeed, and planned to open serious discussions with the other representatives. Her ideas were not greeted positively though, as Talbot and Korrd had already decided that Nimbus III was destined to be a failure.
+When the three diplomats were captured by the renegade [[Vulcan]] [[Sybok]], they fell under his mental manipulation and chose to join his "[[Galactic Army of Light]]." Dar participated in the creation of a hostage tape meant to lure a [[Federation]] [[starship]] to Nimbus III, with which to further Sybok's goal of locating the mythical planet of [[Sha Ka Ree]]. When a rescue team from the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-A}} arrived, the three swiftly disarmed them and took control of the ship. Upon the conclusion of the crisis, the three of them shared a drink aboard the ''Enterprise'', with Talbot remarking, "how far we've come in such a short space of time." ({{film|5}})
-All three representatives were held hostage by the radical [[Sybok]]'s [[Galactic Army of Light]] shortly after Dar assumed her position. Caithlin Dar was made to read the hostage-takers' demands broadcasted over [[subspace]].

-Sybok persuaded all three respresentatives to join him in his effort to find [[God]], but after the supposed God turned out to be a malevolant being, Dar and the other representatives sided with [[James T. Kirk|Captain Kirk]] of the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A)|USS ''Enterprise''-A]]. This new cooperation between the Nimbus III representatives seemed to be the first step on the way to a more fruitful and cooperative administration of the Planet of Galactic Peace.
