Hi all. I must say that i am not into Star Trek nearly as much as most and that I got the RPG mainly because I have a friend who is and I thought it would be fun to run him through some adventures and also that I knew the CODA system was going to be used for the new Lord of the Rings game.
That being said, here is an idea I had for a reaccuring nemisis/ally/lover/trickster character that would be a friend at times, a foil at others, an emeny in another...but in all these times someone who the PCs would like or even love (as a possible romantic interest for a female PC in my group).

TREAG is going to (hopefully) be one of those NPCs that PCs love to hate to love, if you know what I mean. i am planning on him being one of those "Dark Semi-Heroe" types. Everyonce in a while he does good things. Everyonce in a while the PCs will trust him, barely. He's a man of his word, but you have to watch how he says things.
He will be marvelously devious and I plan on trying to develope a relationship with him and the female PC of the group, a Klingon Law Enforcement Officer. He's a smuggler, a crook, but he's also got a strong side-habit of siding with the underdog...so he tends to avoid hurting "the little people".
Any comments or questions?
Like I noted above I do want to season him up a bit, any suggestions?
I am new to the CODA system, have yet to even see it, but would it not be useful to Treag if he had some piloting/ship skills. I assume he either is a member of a rogue crew or has his own vessel to ply the spacelanes. Or perhaps I have totally misunderstood the character concept...Hmm a distinct possiblity.
You are right, that's something I could give him as an advancement. I really hadn't planned on him being an actual pilot...but it would certainly be in line with him having SOME skill with starships, after all!
