| Harry Leidecker | Unknown | Mining Chief | Kastra 4 | Krill |
| Harry Leidecker is a mining chief and leader of a new Planetary Union colony on Kastra 4. Leading up to the Battle of Kastra 4, the enemy Krill saw the planet as a vulnerable, resource-laden colony, and thus an easy target.
The Krill destroyer Kakov attacks Kastra 4 in December 2419, pummeling the colony from orbit. Leidecker sends an emergency distress call to all Union ships, and the Orville responds. After a tense battle, the Orville destroys the Kakov and saves Kastra 4. A battered Leidecker says that the colony survives but dozens were killed by the Kakov with at least 19 already dead. The full credited title of Leidecker is Mining Chief Harry Leidecker. He is played by Michael Dempsey. | ||||
