Commander of the USS Constellation. In 2265 the ship investigated Ravanar IV, a planet in the Taurus reach. His crew discovered the Taurus meta-gene, an exceptionally complex genome contained within biological samples from the planet. [2]

Decker lost his entire crew when the Doomsday machine destroyed the planet he had beamed down to. Consumed with grief, Decker took command of the Enterprise and attempted to destroy the machine.
