Revision as of 16:12, 23 March 2006

Vilix'pran was a Starfleet crew member assigned to Deep Space 9 in the 2370s.

In 2371, he was assigned to cargo inventory, but Julian Bashir made a request for the ensign's transfer because he was budding with twins. Bashir and Miles O'Brien were throwing him a baby shower; O'Brien was also building him a hatchling pond, while Bashir had ordered baby clothes from Garak. A prior budding had produced four offspring. (DS9: "Heart of Stone")

Jake Sisko babysat his hatchlings on several occasions, a task which involved preventing their wings from getting tangled. (DS9: "Business as Usual")

By 2373, Vilix'pran had been promoted to lieutenant, and was in the process of budding for a third time. The nature of his species' reproductive system meant he could be expecting anything from eight to eighteen hatchlings, and he requested larger quarters from Major Kira. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")

Vilix'pran's species was not revealed on the series.
In "Business as Usual", Jake referred to Vilix'pran as Ensign Pran. Presumably, this was just a slip of the tongue, and Vilix'pran was still a Lieutenant. It also seems to indicate that "pran" was similar to a human surname.
