Gil Morrison (STO)
Captain Gil Morrison was the commanding officer of the U.S.S. Defiant NCC-1764. In 2268, the Defiant responded to a distress call from a Tholian colonial fleet in the Murasaki 242 protonebula. Coming to the fleet's aid, the Defiant was unable to prevent its destruction at the hands of the Na'kuhl, and the ship was severely damaged in the attempt. When the Tholian mothership rammed the Na'kuhl dreadnought, the chronal energies released, coupled with the unique properties of the protonebula, caused an interphasic rift that trapped the Defiant.[1] By the time the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was able to respond to the Defiant's distress call, several weeks had passed, and everyone aboard — including Morrison — had died from exposure to interphase.[2]
