John Harriman

John Jason Harriman, Jr. was a Starfleet line officer in the late-23rd century, serving well into the 24th century. He was notable for his tenure as commanding officer of the USS Enterprise-B, which began in 2293. Harriman's early days as Enterprise captain were overshadowed by the events of the vessel's shakedown cruise: the Enterprise rescued 47 El-Aurian refugees from the nexus ribbon, but retired Captain James T. Kirk was lost. (Star Trek Generations)

His father's given name and their middle names were revealed in the TOS novel: The Captain's Daughter and The Lost Era novel: Serpents Among the Ruins.

Star Trek: Pendragon

Harriman commanded the Enterprise-B until 2311, following the Tomed Incident, when he left the captaincy. Taking his accrued leave time, Harriman married his long-time lover, Amina Sasine. (Star Trek: The Lost Era novel: Serpents Among the Ruins).

Seen as an expert on the Romulans, Harriman eventually joined Starfleet Intelligence and began a series of deep-cover operations behind the Neutral Zone.

He eventually rose to the admiralty, and by the 2330s, was in command of Starbase 53. At that time, Admiral Harriman was still heavily involved in Starfleet Intelligence, and recruited numerous operatives, including Mark Coleman, who became his protégé.

In 2341, Harriman had Coleman reassigned from the investigation of Enclave J-12 and the death of Jacob Sinclair. Harriman later recommended Coleman for the admiralty in 2356.
