Gathorel Labin

Magistrate Gath Labin (2371)

Gathorel Labin was a Sikarian magistrate who invited the crew of the USS Voyager to his home planet in 2371. Gathorel preferred to be called simply Gath. He became attracted to Captain Kathryn Janeway, and spent much time with her on his planet. Janeway discovered that the Sikarians had technology called a spatial trajector which folded space and made it possible to travel thousands of light years in seconds. She asked Gath for this technology. He explained that his planet's prime directive prevented them from sharing their technology with less-advanced races. Janeway asked Gath that if he would not give them the technology, could the Sikarians send Voyager as far as possible in exchange for "stories", which were treasured on this pleasure-loving planet. Gath insisted on discussing the proposition with the other Sikarian magistrates, but he was in no hurry to do so. He did invite the crew to stay on his planet, but they refused. Disobeying orders, several members of the crew got the technology on the black market, but it was incompatible with Federation technology. (VOY: "Prime Factors")

Gath Labin was played by actor Ronald Guttman.
