Rabal

Doctor Rabal was a Hekaran who supported the theories of his sister, Serova, that warp drive was damaging to subspace. Rabal was initially skeptical of his sister but he was later convinced that her theories may have had truth behind them. In 2370, he assisted her in her attempts to convince others of the dangers of warp drive, though he preferred to negotiate in good faith, in contrast to her more extreme methods. He was shocked and saddened when Serova committed suicide by causing a warp core breach of her ship in the Hekaras Corridor, just to prove her theories were right. 
Rabal and Lieutenant Commanders Geordi La Forge and Data submitted a report to the Federation Science Council following the revelation that warp drive was in fact damaging subspace, eventually leading to a subspace rift forming. Rabal believed that Hekaras II may eventually have to stop using warp drive, but he admitted it would not be easy. ()
