A Vulcan Starfleet captain who sits on the board of inquiry at Starfleet Academy in 2368, looking into the flight accident that killed Cadet Joshua Albert.
Captain Satelk is a Vulcan officer in Starfleet. He appears in the episode The First Duty, played by Richard Fancy.
After Nova Squadron loses a ship and a pilot during a training flight near Saturn, the Academy holds an inquiry led by the superintendent, Admiral Brand. Satelk sits beside her. He questions the surviving cadets, among them Wesley Crusher and the squadron leader Nicholas Locarno, in a calm and exact manner.
The board is then shown evidence that undoes their story. Images from a sensor station show the five ships in a formation quite different from the one the cadets described. Their account falls apart, and Wesley finally admits that the team had been attempting the forbidden Kolvoord Starburst manoeuvre.
