Changes: Dougherty

Revision as of 13:51, 14 December 2014

Matthew Dougherty was a Starfleet vice admiral in the 24th century.

In 2375, Dougherty entered into an alliance with the Son'a, led by Ahdar Ru'afo, to covertly relocate the Ba'ku from their home in the area of space known as "the Briar Patch," and then perform a procedure to collect metaphasic particles from the planet's rings. As this procedure would leave the planet uninhabitable, Dougherty and Ru'afo were forced to develop a plan whereby the Ba'ku would be transported to another planet using a holoship, leaving the Ba'ku completely unaware of what was transpiring. This would leave Dougherty and Ru'afo free to collect the particles, which had rejuvenating qualities, without killing the inhabitants. Although Dougherty had secured permission from the Federation Council to execute this mission, he actively attempted to prevent the details of the operation from reaching them, knowing that, if it were to be learned that the Federation had sanctioned the forced relocation of a peaceful people, public opinion would turn against him, and he would be unable to proceed.

The death of Admiral Dougherty

Dougherty's plans were complicated, however, when the crew of the USS Enterprise uncovered the plot. As Captain Picard and members of his crew acted to protect the Ba'ku, Commander Riker, the Enterprise's first officer, attempted to reach the perimeter of the Briar Patch in order to contact the Council and inform them of the details of Dougherty's operation. Although Dougherty was initially reluctant, Ru'afo convinced him to let two Son'a battle cruisers intercept the Enterprise, explaining that, if the Federation were to learn the truth, the operation would be halted, and the Federation would lose an invaluable opportunity. Later, upon learning that the Son'a and the Ba'ku were, in actuality, the same race, and that the Son'a were simply attempting to gain revenge on those that had exiled them, Dougherty ordered Ru'afo to halt the operation, who responded by viciously beating Dougherty and restraining him in a device designed to stretch the flesh of one's face tighter. Dougherty then warned that if the operation goes ahead, the Federation would pursue the Son'a. Ru'afo responded that the Federation would never know what had transpired, before activating the device, killing Dougherty. (Star Trek: Insurrection)

According to the Star Trek: Section 31 novel Rogue, Admiral Dougherty was a member of Section 31.

-In [[2375]], he conspired with [[Ru'afo]], the leader of the [[Son'a]], in order to obtain the [[metaphasic radiation]] unique to the [[Ba'ku (planet)|Baku planet]], located in the [[Briar Patch]].
+Dougherty's plans were complicated, however, when the crew of the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-E}} uncovered the plot. As [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard|Picard]] and members of his crew acted to protect the Ba'ku, [[Commander]] [[William T.

Although Dougherty was initially reluctant, Ru'afo convinced him to let two [[Son'a battle cruiser]]s intercept the ''Enterprise'', explaining that, if the [[Federation]] were to learn the truth, the operation would be halted, and the Federation would lose an invaluable opportunity.

-Dougherty gained permission from the [[Federation Council]] for this mission, involving the use of a [[duck blind]]ed outpost, by deliberately manipulating and withholding information on how the metaphasic radiation was to be extracted from the planet's rings.
+==External link==
-Dougherty and Ru'afo intended to covertly transport the 600 [[Ba'ku]] inhabiting the [[planet]] onto a [[Federation holoship]] in order to avoid killing the population while in the process of extracting the particles. Their efforts were halted by the crew of the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)|USS ''Enterprise''-E]].

-Ultimately Ru'afo betrayed Dougherty and killed the admiral with the surgical skin streching equipment onboard the Son'a ship. ({{film|9}})
-:''Admiral Dougherty was played by actor [[Anthony Zerbe]]. His first name was not mentioned in dialogue, but in the script. The script also described him as being 69 years old, which would have suggested a birth year of [[2306]].''
