George Francisco is a protagonist from the Alien Nation TV series, TV movies, and media based on the TV series.
George was portrayed by .
A Tenctonese male, George was born with the name Stangya Soren'tzahh in the late 1920s or early 1930s. He was one of approximately 250,000 slaves on the starship Gruza that crashed in the Mojave Desert on Earth in 1991. Stangya was given his Earth name by US immigration officials at that time. Elements within the US government tried to brainwash George into becoming an assassin called Dart Four for them, however the brainwashing failed due to George's strong sense of ethics. George was subsequently returned to the general population. After several months he and the other Tenctonese, who became known as Newcomers, were released from quarantine and took up residence around Los Angeles, California.
George moved with his wife Susan, children Buck and Emily, and uncle Moodri to a suburban Los Angeles home.
After seeing a human police officer (who was his future partner Matthew Sikes) disable an Overseer and give a homing beacon to the Tectonese so they could destroy it, George decided he wanted to wear a uniform and badge like the human wore, and work in the same kind of job. George joined the LAPD as a police officer. He became the first Newcomer detective on the force, and was partnered with Matthew Sikes - who he had earlier met in quarantine. At first Sikes was reluctant to partner with George, however despite their cultural differences the two men became very good friends, to the point that Sykes was very nearly considered a part of George's family. Sikes later served as godfather to George's daughter Vessna. (At first George and Susan were uneasy about the concept of godfathers as they had researched the concept by reading the book The Godfather). 
Although collected, analytical and level-headed for majority of episodes, George loses it when his family is endangered.
