Kal

Kal was a male Coridanite that lived during the 3180s. He was a "true believer" who had faith in the despite its decline since the Burn a century prior, and even had hope of one day joining Starfleet.
In 3189, he was a miner who lived and worked on a planet known simply as "The Colony". That year, when a time-displaced Commander Saru and Ensign Sylvia Tilly entered the settlement to trade for much-needed repairs for 's communications system, Kal and Os'ir doubted their claim to be members of Starfleet and held them at gunpoint. However, when Tilly began to cite Starfleet regulations, Kal was convinced and offered to help them repair the transtator in exchange for a supply of dilithium they could use to break free from Zareh, the planet's courier who controlled all off-planet logistics for the Colony.
Unfortunately, the group was interrupted by Zareh and his henchmen shortly after repairing the transtater. When he learned that the miners and the Starfleet officers had made a deal against his interests, he shot Kal in retaliation, painfully killing him.
After Zareh was subdued and exiled from the settlement, Os'ir expressed regret over Kal's death and remarked that the Starfleet officers had proven the Federation could be counted on after all. ()
