FASA Timeline
(FASA Roleplaying Game)

Lieutenant Kevin Thomas Riley was assigned to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 in 2207. Riley fancied himself the descendant of Irish nobility. When he was infected with polywater intoxication, he locked himself in engineering, where he took control of the ship's systems and declared himself "captain." He proceeded to repeatedly sing "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" over the ship's intercom system, and ordered a dance in the ship's bowling alley.

Riley was a survivor of the massacre on Tarsus IV in 2197. That year, a fungus devastated the colony's crops and food supply. Governor Kodos seized emergency powers and ordered the execution of half the colony's population — 4000 people, including Riley's parents. Twenty years later, on Stardate 2819.8, the Karidian Company of Players was traveling aboard the Enterprise, while Captain Kirk — also a Tarsus IV survivor — sought to prove that the company's lead actor, Anton Karidian, was secretly Kodos, whom the authorities had long thought dead. Riley, one of nine eyewitnesses to the massacre, was poisoned by Karidian's daughter, Lenore, who was quietly murdering anyone who could connect her father with Kodos. Riley survived, however, and was stopped from killing the elder Karidian — who had confessed to being Kodos — by Kirk, who wanted to bring Kodos to justice. When Lenore tried to kill Kirk, however, Kodos took the phaser blast instead.
