abstract | - Dirgo was a lean searat in crew of Razzid Wearat aboard the Greenshroud. He was on watch duty when Uggo Wiltud and Posybud escaped; Uggo hit the searat over the head with a chisel, completely stunning him. Dirgo was found by a fellow corsair, who assumed he had been at the grog again and, fortunately, did not report him to Razzid. Later, when one of the wheels of the Greenshroud snagged an underwater root in the River Moss, Dirgo was foolish enough to remark disparagingly on the difficulties caused by a wheeled ship. Razzid punished Dirgo by having him swim under the ship and repair the problem on his own. In actuality, this was a death sentence, for Razzid knew full well that a large, dangerous pike was also swimming in the area; Dirgo was attacked by the voracious fish. It was his death that prompted Shekra and several other crewmembers to plan a mutiny later on.
- Dirgo was the captain of the mining shuttle Nenebek in the 2360s. In 2367, he was sent to transport Captain Jean-Luc Picard to Pentarus V to arbitrate a miners' dispute. Wesley Crusher accompanied them on the mission. His ship, which was in poor condition, crashed on Lambda Paz, a moon of Pentarus III. The moon was a desert, and his ship had no emergency food or water. They found shelter in a cave that contained a fountain of water, but were prevented from getting to it by a force field. Dirgo tried to shoot through it, but an energy sentry knocked him down and caused a rockslide, injuring Picard. Dirgo tried to use a phaser again, and he was enveloped in electrically-deposited selenium fibers by the energy sentry. (TNG: "Final Mission" ) Dirgo was played by actor Nick Tate. StarTrek.com named his species "Pentaran". [1]
