American television writer (1921–2003) who wrote three episodes of the original series, including The Gamesters of Triskelion, and two more for the animated series.
Margaret Armen was an American television writer, born in 1921, who had written for many westerns before coming to Star Trek.
Her original series scripts are The Gamesters of Triskelion (1968), in which Kirk, Uhura and Chekov are forced to fight as gladiators for unseen gamblers; The Paradise Syndrome (1968), in which an amnesiac Kirk lives among a transplanted Native American people; and the teleplay of The Cloud Minders (1969), about the floating city of Stratos and the miners below it.
For the animated series she wrote The Lorelei Signal, in which Uhura takes command of the Enterprise, and The Ambergris Element. She was also among the writers commissioned for the unmade Star Trek: Phase II. Armen died in 2003.
