Talmadge

Captain Talmadge was the commanding officer of the 24th century transport ship Dorian in the late 2360s.

He sent out a distress call when his ship was attacked by two battle cruisers from Rekag-Seronia while he transported Federation mediator Ambassador Ves Alkar and his "mother" Sev Maylor to peace talks on the planet.

The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) under command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard answered the call and met the transport vessel. Captain Talmadge asked Picard to beam the two Lumerians aboard to make sure they are safe and the Enterprise-D continued the mission.
