PLAYED BY:
Emily Banks
SPECIES: Human Female
She was one of several crew members
briefly trapped on the Shore Leave Planet. While there, she was
accosted twice by recreations of legendary rake Don Juan. She
found a dress, exactly the sort she imagined a princess of the
"blood royale" might wear.
She was later romanced by Doctor McCoy. She later saw McCoy
apparently murdered by the Black Knight, and briefly blamed
herself for this, before Captain Kirk helped her regain her
composure.
When McCoy returned to the surface, from where he'd been taken
for medical care, she took umbrage to the two Rigelian chorus
girls he brought with him. His apologetic "After all, I am on
shore leave" brought him a frosty "And so am I". |

PLAYED BY:
Oliver McGowan
SPECIES: Unknown Male
The Caretaker or Keeper of the
Shore Leave Planet was the last individual of his
race to reside on this planet, located in the
Omicron Delta region.
He was responsible for overseeing its proper
operation. In 2267, crew from the USS Enterprise
visited this planet, and after a series of
unexplained occurrences, met this caretaker. He
offered apologies for their confusion, explaining
that he had not initially realized the planet's
nature was unknown to the visitors. He described the
planet as a place his people had constructed so they
might play. He then offered the use of the planet
for shore leave, as long as appropriate precautions
were taken. But he would not comment on his people,
saying enigmatically that the Federation visitors
were not yet ready to understand them – a statement
with which Spock concurred. |

Perry Lopez
SPECIES: Human Male
Rodriguez was one member of the
landing party assigned to explore the Shore Leave
Planet. During his visit there, his imagination gave
form to a flock of birds, a Bengal tiger, and later
a Japanese Zero warplane that strafed and apparently
killed Angela. |

PLAYED BY:
Bruce Mars
SPECIES: Human Male
Finnegan was the name of a
flamboyant Irish upperclassman who tormented James
T. Kirk during his time at Starfleet Academy.
Looking back from the perspective of years, Kirk
described himself as "positively grim" during that
era, a fact that delighted jokester Finnegan
immensely. The sort of fellow who would put a bowl
of cold soup in your bed, or leave a bucket of water
propped over a half-open door, Finnegan tormented
Cadet Kirk mercilessly.
In 2267, the USS Enterprise discovered the Shore
Leave Planet, a place where one's fantasies were
made real. On that world, Kirk encountered a version
of Finnegan, exactly as he had appeared so long ago.
At that point, Kirk did not understand the nature of
the planet, and so he sought answers from Finnegan,
who was the first character that actually interacted
with the landing party. These attempts earned Kirk
only japes and mockery, and finally Kirk had enough
– he chased down Finnegan and "beat the tar out of
him" – something he'd been longing to do for years.
During their fight, Finnegan offered a valuable clue
in his statements, "Kinda makes up for things, huh
Jim?" and, "I'm being exactly the way you remember
me." At the end of the fight, Kirk and Spock
realized that Finnegan, like all the other artifacts,
had been created in response to Kirk's unvoiced
desire for revenge. |

Marcia Brown
SPECIES: Imaginary Female
Alice was one of the many
artifacts created by the Shore Leave Planet during
the visit of the USS Enterprise in 2267. Leonard
McCoy mentioned to Sulu that the idyllic planet was
like "something out of Alice in Wonderland". In
response, the planet created the White Rabbit and
Alice, basing them on his memories of that tale. The
appearance of these two characters was the first
clue that all was not as it appeared on that world. |

Sebastian Tom
SPECIES: Imaginary Male
An antenna on the planet would
scan a person's mind and derive creations from their
thoughts. This happened to Sulu when he was on shore
leave on the planet. The samurai attacked Sulu and
engaged him in a series of bouts. |

SPECIES: Imaginary Female
Ruth was a woman with whom James
T. Kirk had been romantically involved sometime
around his Starfleet Academy years. In 2267, the USS
Enterprise discovered the Shore Leave Planet, an
artificial world where complex machinery could bring
fantasies to life.Kirk's daydreams resulted in the
creation of a duplicate Ruth. The first time she
appeared, Kirk was distracted by other problems, and
could not spend time with her. After his discussion
with the caretaker, Kirk planned to beam back to the
Enterprise, but Ruth appeared again, and this
convinced him to remain on the planet for a few
days. |
