Joel Randolph

Joel Randolph was a Starfleet line officer on active duty in Starfleet during the 23rd century.

Captain Randolph was commanding officer of the USS when an alien probe entered the Sol system. The probe's proximity drained his ship's power systems and Randolph ordered hiber-sedatives for non-essential personnel. He noted in a distress call that the Yorktown's chief engineer was rigging a makeshift solar sail to acquire power for the failing ship's systems — including life support.
