Erik Pressman

Erik Pressman in 2370.

Erik Pressman was a Starfleet officer, a rear admiral assigned to Starfleet Intelligence in 2370. At his former rank of captain, he had previously commanded the starship Pegasus in 2356 during its mission to test an illegal interphase cloaking device. His crew mutinied against him when they found out what he was doing, and he escaped with a handful of other survivors, including Will Riker. In 2370, he came abord the Enterprise to try to retrieve the wreck of the Pegagus, but in reality wanted to retrieve the cloak for further testing. He ordered Riker not to reveal the information about the cloak to anyone else. When the true nature of the mission was revealed, Pressman tried to take command of the Enterprse, but no one would support him. Pressman was eventually placed under arrest for violating the Treaty of Algeron.(TNG:"The Pegasus" )

Pressman was played by Terry O'Quinn. He wore the rarely seen "two-pip" admiral insignia, indicating his rank as rear admiral. It is fan speculation that Pressman may have been a member of Section 31. Riker's comment in These Are the Voyages... (ENT) about Pressman's involvement in a "secret" program at Starfleet Security seems to aid that assumption.
