Ensign Galloway[1] was assigned to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 in 2267. On Stardate 2713.5, he was part of a landing party that investigated a distress signal from a planet that was an inexplicable duplicate of Earth, located hundreds of light years from the Sol system. While on the planet, the entire landing party was infected with a virus used for the ill-fated Life Prolongation Project; it killed any infected adult Human in a matter of days, but nevertheless managed to extend the lives of infected children by a matter of centuries. Fortunately, Dr. McCoy was able to develop a cure that saved the life of every member of the landing party, as well as the entire population of the planet, who would otherwise have died when their bodies finally reached adolescence.[2] On Stardate 3192.1, he and Lieutenant Osborn were assigned to a landing party making contact with Eminiar VII. They were initially captured by the Eminians and scheduled to die as "casualties" in their automated war with Vendikar, but they managed to escape. During the escape, Galloway and Osborn disguised themselves as Eminian guards to help facilitate their movements.[3] On Stardate 3134.0, Osborn and another security guard responded to a security breach at the transporter room when Dr. McCoy was accidentally injected with cordrazine, an extremely potent stimulant. A delusional McCoy had rendered Lieutenant Kyle unconscious and beamed himself down to the planet's surface. Galloway and the other security guard joined an impromptu landing party to retrieve McCoy, where they found the Guardian of Forever.[4] During a mission to Omega IV in 2268, Galloway was exposed to a virus that completely dehydrated the bodies of those infected, turning them into a few pounds of minerals. While he and the rest of the landing party were able to find a cure, Galloway was killed by the rogue Starfleet Captain Ron Tracey.[5]
Despite being vaporized by Tracey,[5] Galloway somehow returned to life[6] and resumed his duties aboard the Enterprise the following year. On Stardate 3018.2, Galloway was assigned to guard Janice Lester while she was aboard the ship, not knowing that Captain Kirk's mind had actually been transferred into her body, and that the captain's body was controlled by Lester.[7]
