Changes: Melakon

Revision as of 18:40, 14 January 2006

Ekosian Deputy Führer Melakon in 2268.

Melakon was the Deputy Führer on the planet Ekos, in the M43 Alpha system, where the USS Enterprise was to investigate the disappearance of a Federation historian named John Gill, who had been missing for six months and during that time founded his own Nazi regime on Ekos.

Kirk asks about Gill, and Daras, an honored Nazi officer, explains that Gill is nothing but a figurehead, and Deputy Führer Melakon is the one in command.

Gill explains that he never meant for any of this to get out of control. He instituted Hitler's National Socialism upon the lawless Ekosians because he believed that it is the most efficient system of government ever devised. He explains he only wanted to bring order to the people of Ekos, and it worked until Melakon gained control, and took it one step further to rid the planet of Zeons like Hitler did the Jews. Kirk tells Gill that he must recall the invasion fleet headed to Zeon.

Melakon has already started the broadcast, announcing the "final war" with Zeon that Gill is to endorse in his speech. Through the help of Spock's mind meld combined with Kirk having him further injected with stimulants, Gill renounces the invasion and declares that Melakon is a traitor. Melakon grabs a machine gun and opens fire on the broadcast booth, fatally wounding Gill. Isak shoots and kills Melakon in retaliation. (TOS: "Patterns of Force")

Melakon was played by Skip Homeier
