American television writer and producer who worked on the second season of The Next Generation and wrote the teleplays of The Outrageous Okona and A Matter of Honor.
Burton Armus is an American writer and producer who served as a New York City police detective before moving into television, first as a technical adviser on Kojak and then as a writer on crime series.
He joined The Next Generation as a producer for part of its second season in 1988. He wrote the teleplay of The Outrageous Okona, about a roguish freighter captain caught between two feuding worlds, and of A Matter of Honor, in which Riker serves as first officer of the Klingon ship Pagh under an officer exchange programme.
A Matter of Honor was one of the first episodes to look closely at life aboard a Klingon vessel. Armus left the series before the season ended and returned to police drama.
