Merdok

Merdok was a Benzite male active as a medical officer in the Federation Starfleet in the early 25th century.

In 2411 Merdok held the rank of captain and was CO of USS McCoy. He was assigned to a task force to open a Federation mission to the Teplan Protectorate, but despite having several years' seniority was passed over for the task force's commodore slot in favor of the younger Tyria Sark, owing to his lacking certification for combatant command.
