A corn farmer in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, who becomes the first human known to meet a Klingon when he shoots the fleeing courier Klaang with a plasma rifle.
Moore appears in the opening scenes of Broken Bow, the pilot of Enterprise, set in April 2151. He farms corn near the Oklahoma town that gives the episode its name.
A small Klingon ship crashes in his fields, and its pilot, Klaang, runs through the crop pursued by two Suliban. Klaang lures them into a silo and blows it up. Moore, confronted by a huge armed stranger shouting in a language he cannot understand, fires and wounds him severely.
The incident is humanity's first contact with the Klingons. It brings the Vulcans and Starfleet into dispute over what to do with the injured courier and leads directly to the early launch of Enterprise.
