Thomas Riker was created by a transporter accident when Commander Riker beamed up from Nervala IV. Initially an exact duplicate, the two Riker's became more different over time as they accumulated different experiences whilst Thomas was stranded on the planet. He was rescued in 2369 by the Enterprise-D. The two Rikers initially found it difficult to get along, but eventually managed to resolve their differences. Thomas transferred to the USS Ghandi. [1] Whilst there he began to express sympathies for the Maquis, and ultimately left Starfleet to join the terrorists. In 2371 Thomas stole the USS Defiant from Deep Space Nine and launched attacks into Cardassian space. He was eventually captured and placed in a Cardassian prison camp. [2]
