Cereth ajElasi

Cereth ajElasi was an antagonist in the video game Star Trek: 25th Anniversasy.

An Elasi male, Cereth had spent several years in a Federation prison for assaulting an Andorian official who was running a supply depot on Menalvagor. After his release he became a pirate leader.

Cereth was a charismatic man who gained a number of followers. Starfleet records indicated that much like his father and brothers, Cereth was daring and impulsive. He excelled in planning and was quite through when undertaking activities, but had little actual ability to command a space vessel.

In 2268 Cereth and several of his followers seized the Starfleet tug USS Masada. The USS Enterprise responded. Using the transponder codes, the Enterprise was able to beam Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Dr. McCoy on board the Masada. After subduing the Elasi they encountered, the Enterprise team freed the Masada crew, who gave Kirk instructions on how to access the ship's bridge.

Accessing the bridge, Kirk was able to convince Cereth to surrender to the Enterprise, promising the man that he would receive a fair trial in the Federation. Cereth was taken in to custody by a security team from the Enterprise.

After returning to the Enterprise, Kirk and crew remarked that even though Cereth certainly had help, the fact that he was able to commandeer a Starfleet vessel spoke a great deal to Cereth's abilities.

Trivia

 * In the game Kirk also has the option of killing Cereth by disintegrating him with a hand phaser. In this case the mission will still finish successfully, however the score will be lower.
