Trevor Hall

"I will not surrender Proxima or stand trial for following direct orders."

- Hall, refusing to surrender.

Trevor Hall was the antagonist of the Babylon 5 episode No Surrender, No Retreat.

He was portrayed by Ken Jenkins.

An EarthForce officer, he commanded the EAS Herecles. In 2261 the tyrannical Earth Alliance President Morgan Clark authorized his forces to blockade Proxima III and fire on civilians that tried to escape. Hall led the blockade and personally ordered firing on two civilian transports, resulting in the deaths of over 10,000 civilians. When news of this reached Babylon 5, a furious John Sheridan finally decided to move against Clark.

Sheridan's first step was to confront Hall's battle group at Proxima III. Sheridan demanded the EarthForce ships either stand down or leave. Hall refused to do so, and ordered his forces to attack Sheridan's fleet. Hall ordered the EAS Vesta to engage, however Captain Edward MacDougan refused to carry out any more of Hall's orders. In response Hall promoted MacDougan's first officer Philby to Captain and ordered him to seize command and attack Sheridan's forces. MacDougan's crew prevented Philby from carrying out those orders, and MacDougan informed Sheridan he was standing down.

The rest of the battle went just as badly for Hall. The EAS Furies decided it wasn't going to fire on Sheridan either, and the EAS Juno quickly jumped out of the system when it became clear the battle wasn't going their way. The EAS Pollux was destroyed when it collided with one of Sheridan's White Stars. Nemesis was badly damaged and surrendered.

That left Captain Hall and the Herecles continuing the fight. Sheridan radioed Hall and ordered him to surrender. Hall refused to surrender or return control of Proxima to its local government. Feeling that Sheridan could be bluffing, Hall did not answer Sheridan's demands. He told his first officer Commander Levitt that they would not surrender, but she refused to allow Hall to endanger the Herecles any further because he didn't want to face the consequences of his actions. Levitt relieved Hall of duty and had him removed from the bridge. She then informed Sheridan that the Herecles was standing down.

Following the battle, Levitt took the Herecles to Beta IX for repairs, intending to keep the Herecles out of action for the remainder of the civil war. Levitt kept Captain Hall under house arrest.

If Hall was made to face justice after Clark killed himself, it was not revealed in the series.
