· Starship Captain233 dilemmas faced
Jean-Luc Picard is the captain of the USS Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation. A thoughtful diplomat and scholar from France, he commands through moral authority rather than force. He is a fierce defender of individual rights and the Prime Directive, believing that the measure of a civilization is how it treats those with the least power.
