USS Voyager, Intrepid-class, much bigger than I expected and much less advanced. Says here your ship was launched in the year… 2371? You're from the 24th century? And here all this time I thought you were from the 29th. Looks like I have the home field advantage.

~ Henry Starling's hilarious last worlds, as the Aeon is destroyed by the USS Voyager, just before it enters the temporal rift.
Henry Starling is the main antagonist of the Star Trek: Voyager two-parter "Future's End".
In 1967, Henry Starling witnessed the crash of the 29th century Federation timeship the Aeon in the High Sierras. Taking possession of it, he began reverse-engineering the technology to develop technological breakthroughs. Over nearly 30 years, he became a millionaire and the founder of the company Chronowerx, eventually residing in Los Angeles. Worried that someone might come from the future looking for the timeship, he funded an observatory and gave them instructions to look out for a signature that matched a Federation ship. In 1996, the observatory detected USS Voyager in orbit. Against Starling's instructions, astronomer Rain Robinson passed the information on to the authorities. Starling laughed off her claim, then sent his henchman, Dunbar, to kill Rain. Fortunately his assassination attempt to kill Rain failed, as she was saved by Tuvok and Tom Paris.
Starling himself eventually encountered Captain Katheryn Janeway herself and Commander Chakotay when they broke into his office and found the stolen timeship. They correctly guessed that Starling was planning to use it to travel to the future to obtain more technology, having exhausted what he could learn from the timeship itself. They warned him that attempting to do so without properly calibrating the engines would cause an explosion that would destroy Earth's solar system in the 29th century but Starling refused to listen. The pair were beamed aboard Voyager but Starling who was way ahead of them had blocked an attempt to beam up the Aeon and hacked Voyager's computer. He quickly learned they were from the 24th century and assumed they were trying to steal the Aeon for themselves. He also downloaded Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram, who he activated using holo-transmitters in his office, torturing him for information by making him feel like he was on fire.
Rain contacted Starling wanting to meet and he brought the Doctor along after transferring his programme to a mobile emitter. This was a trap set by Voyager, with a shuttlecraft attempting to beam Starling aboard. Starling disrupted the transport with a tricorder but was transferred to Voyager's pattern buffer and rematerialised. He warned Janeway he had set the Aeon to explode if they tried to beam it aboard again, which would destroy Los Angeles. He then had Dunbar activate a pre-set programme and beam him back to the timeship.
After sending Dunbar out in a truck as a distraction, and getting frustrated with Janeway's constant interference in his plans, Starling launched the Aeon from his office and opened a temporal rift, preparing to go through it. Chakotay hailed him from Voyager, aware the time rift was unstable and the explosion was about to occur, and told him to stand down but Starling believed Voyager's weapons were offline and refused. Janeway managed to fire a photon torpedo manually and it struck the timeship, killing Starling and thus restoring the timeline.
Personality Traits[]
A man way too far ahead of his own time and with a very dangerous mindset that ultimately proves himself to be a serious threat. Henry Starling is an unreasonable, arrogant ruthless, manipulative, greedy, pure evil, and extremely dangerous man who doesn't even care about innocent human lives or what happens to them, as he is even willing to go as far as to stealing the timeship Aeon and even attempting to go to the future just to steal technology for his own nefarious purposes, while not even really caring about what happens to the existing people in timeline or even the whole of realty itself at all which is what ultimately forced Janeway to give the order to destroy both the Aeon and kill Henry Starling, as he has proven himself way too dangerous of a man to be allowed live had he escaped.
Trivia[]
Ed Begley Jr's iconic and memorable performance as the villainous Henry Starling has ultimately been praised and received well by many Star Trekkie fans to this very day.
