The Cardassian commander who raced the Enterprise and the Klingons to solve the ancient genetic puzzle.
Gul Ocett commands the Cardassian vessel in the search for the genetic message left by an ancient humanoid race, which Professor Richard Galen was trying to decode when he was killed.
In The Chase, Ocett agrees to pool DNA samples with the Enterprise and Nu'Daq's Klingons, then betrays them by sabotaging their ships and racing ahead. Picard had anticipated the trick and arrives at the final planet, where a Romulan party also emerges. The message they uncover reveals that the humanoid peoples share a common ancestry.
