Hodges was a Human Ensign and relief navigator of the BCV Burton.
Life[]
Hodges was likely born in the late 23rd century and served in the Planetary Union in the early 24th century. Early in his career, he was stationed aboard the Burton and made Relief Navigator.
Hodges was one of only twenty crew members who survived a large, devastating battle between the Union and the Tzel. With so many officers dead, Hodges was the seniormost officer and made acting captain. The ship crash-landed on the Chog homeworld.
The Burton's damaged quantum drive leaked deadly reactor material into the planet's atmosphere, extinguishing all life. Resolved to protect the friendly Chog natives, Hodges gave commands to fix the drive and route all remaining power to the ship's Particle Beam Cannon and Food Synthesizers.
He died alongside other Union officers on the planet some time after the year 2320.
Trivia[]
- Curiously, Ensign Hodges' uniform is colored blue, the color associated with Command in the modern Union Fleet. In the 25th century, navigators wear Engineering orange.
- Hodges might be named after assistant to executive producer Julia Nichols Hodges who was thanked in New Beginnings, Pt. 1 and Pt. 2, though this is uncertain.
- David A. Goodman has confirmed that the visual representation of Hodges was based on someone famous, but fans have not yet figured out exactly who.[1]
