Coqqor

Belligerent Chalnoth starship captain

A Chalnoth captain who menaces the Cerritos over a nebula in the Lower Decks episode Something Borrowed, Something Green, and is talked down by Boimler and Rutherford in the manner of Mark Twain.

Coqqor is a commander of the Chalnoth, the fanged and anarchic species first seen in The Next Generation. He appears in the fourth-season Lower Decks episode Something Borrowed, Something Green, in the storyline set aboard the Cerritos while Tendi, Mariner and T'Lyn are away on Orion.
His ship confronts the Cerritos in a dispute over a nebula, and Coqqor backs his claim with open threats. At the same time the new roommates Brad Boimler and Sam Rutherford have been getting on each other's nerves, largely over a bonsai tree, and have discovered that they can settle anything by playing riverboat gentlemen in a Mark Twain holodeck programme.
The two try the same drawling, good-humoured approach on the Chalnoth captain. The encounter ends without a battle, though not before Coqqor has eaten the bonsai.
