A Rutian waiter seized by Alexana Devos's security forces and questioned about the Ansata separatists after a bombing in the capital leads to Dr Crusher's abduction.
Katik Shaw is a Rutian civilian who appears in the third-season episode The High Ground, set in 2366.
He works as a waiter in the city on Rutia IV where an Ansata bomb goes off while Enterprise officers are on shore leave, and where Dr Crusher is kidnapped as she treats the wounded. The Rutian security chief Alexana Devos has him brought in and interrogates him as a suspected sympathiser, with Commander Riker looking on.
The scene is there to show Riker, and the audience, the methods the Rutian police have fallen into after years of fighting the separatists: sweeping arrests and hard questioning of people against whom there is little evidence.
