Buckley is the name given to an alien of unknown species found among the survivors of the crashed USS Peregrine, who proves to be carrying Gorn eggs.
Buckley appears in All Those Who Wander, the ninth episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. An Enterprise landing party finds the Peregrine wrecked on the ice planet Valeo Beta V, with only three people alive: a human girl, Oriana, a wounded officer, and a tall alien whose speech the universal translator cannot handle.
Oriana, whom he has been protecting, calls him Buckley. Nurse Chapel and Dr M'Benga treat him without knowing what is wrong with him.
He has been infected with Gorn eggs. The hatchlings burst out of his body and kill him, then hunt the party through the ship. The attack costs the life of the engineer Hemmer. Buckley is played by Carlos Albornoz.
