Thomas Riker Played By: Jonathan Frakes Status: Imprisoned on Lazon II Full Name: Thomas Riker Species:Human Year of birth:created in 2361 Parents: Father-Kyle Riker Education: N/A Marital status:single An exact duplicate of WilliamT. Riker, created in 2361 during a transporter accident when the U.S.S. Potemkin was evacuating the science team on planet Nervala IV. One copy of Riker returned safely to the Potemkin, while the other was reflected by the planets distortion field and materialized back on the surface of Nervala IV. He was recovered in 2369 by the Enterprise-D. He then adopted his middle name Thomas to distinguish himself from his copy. Thomas was assigned to the U.S.S Gandhi. He served there for less then a year before joining the Maquis. As a member of the Maquis, he impersonated his double in 2371 and commandeered the U.S.S. Defiant from DS9 to investigate a suspected Cardassian military buildup in the Orias system. After Riker was apprehended, he agreed to give himself up to the Cardassians to be sentenced to life at the Lazon II labor camp. In exchange, the Cardassians promised to allow his Maquis crew and the Defiant itself to return to the Federation. |
