abstract | - Galactic High Commissioner Ferris was a male Human civilian in the 23rd century. In 2267, he was overseeing the delivery of emergency medical supplies aboard the USS Enterprise to Makus III, for transfer to the New Paris colonies. Ferris opposed Captain Kirk's delay in favor of exploring Murasaki 312 instead, a mission Kirk had standing orders to conduct. Ferris was insensitive to the loss of the shuttlecraft Galileo, continuously citing the importance of his mission. Ferris later assumed authority over the mission, granted to him under Title 15 of Galactic Emergency Procedures. However, Kirk did not abandon the Galileo crew entirely, and without Ferris noticing, rescued the Galileo crew. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven" )
