Ekosian major

Ekosian major

The Ekosian major was a mid-ranking security officer who was a member of the SS on the planet Ekos in 2268. The Major was assigned duties at Fuhrer headquarters and was responsible for arresting James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock when they attempted to gain entry to Nazi HQ in an effort to find John Gill. The Major exposed the two by ordering Spock to remove the helmet of his captured SS uniform, thereby revealing Spock's Vulcan ears.

The Major later interrogated Spock and Kirk, having them beaten and then prepared to have them executed. He was prevented from carrying out the execution by Eneg who ordered Spock and Kirk held for one hour awaiting further questioning. During that hour, Kirk and Spock escaped.

The officer, played by Gilbert Green, was billed in the credits as the "SS Major," (as Spock and Melakon both referred to him) but this rank is inconsistent (based on the system used on Earth) with his uniform insignia, a single oak leaf which would have signified a World War II-era German colonel (referred to as Oberst for an army officer or Standartenführer for an SS officer). It is also unknown how Kirk would have had such knowledge on Ekos SS-ranks, since Kirk addresses the officer as Major before the rank is stated by anyone else.
The Ekosian major was played by Frank da Vinci.

This second officer shown in the episode, played by Peter Canon, also wore a second lieutenant rank on his collar, but after Kirk stole the uniform, once again the rank became first lieutenant on Kirk's collar. A production goof occurs at the time of the Lieutenant's appearance, in that he is clearly seen waiting for William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy to round the corner of a building and then jumps into a walk down the building stairs when he sees the actors approach.

A Zeon rebel in disguise.

A member of the Zeons resistance was part of a ruse to test Captain Kirk and Spock's loyalty. This moustached man wore a faux Ekosian private accoutrements, and held his fellow rebels at gunpoint.

The unnamed soldier, portrayed by regular extra player Eddie Paskey, wore the insignia of a private on his uniform, a black rectangle on the collar and plain bordered shoulderboards. Since the resistance consisted of Ekosians working together with the Zeon rebels, there is no reliable way to discern which of the two species this man was.
