Revision as of 20:07, 4 July 2015

Template:Realworld

Two issue character and aliens sourcebook published in the style of DC Comics' line of Who's Who companions.

Premise

Who's Who in Star Trek was a two-issue comic book series released concurrently with DC Comics' Star Trek monthly, released in March and April 1987.

The two 48-page issues depicted events and information up until about the point of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, with information about many of the DC supporting cast and guest stars from the comic series. Several canon characters and concepts were included in the stories, but the details were very much contradictory with televised and filmed Star Trek, the artists and writers took creative license with the source material.

-; [[Arex]] : [[Lieutenant]] Arex's biography lists that he is one of the first [[Edosian|Edoan]]s to be [[enlisted]] in [[Starfleet]], he later was promoted to [[officer]] after graduating with honors from [[Starfleet Academy]]. He originated from [[Edos]], the second of five [[planet]]s at the [[star]] 92 Trianguli Rho. There is a paragraph describing the three-legged, three-armed structure of the Edoan body, and they are described as vaguely "caninoid." [[Uhura]] is quoted commenting how his dextrous form makes him an amazing panel operator, [[Leonard McCoy]] comments on the strength and stamina which is the Edoan norm, and [[Hikaru Sulu]] describes how an extra leg and extra arm makes a fencing partner invincible. Having [[Scotch whisky]], Arex once drank [[Montgomery Scott]] under the table, and McCoy mentioned that his constant smiling expression was the perfect poker face. [[Spock]] and Arex shared a common sensitivity, their powerful hearing. Spock once counseled Arex on the difficulties faced on a [[human]]-crewed starship. An incident is mentioned where his keen senses saved the day, when he detected a phaser coolant leak before it became visible. After serving under [[James T. Kirk]], he transferred to the "[[refit]]ted" [[Constitution class|''Constitution''-class]] [[USS Hood|USS ''Hood'']], but returned to serve on the new [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A)|USS ''Enterprise''-A]].
-::''Drawn by [[Ken Penders]] and [[Freff]]. The biography lists him as "Edoan," rather than the later assumed name of his race, "Edosian."
