Cruiser first officer []

Tamarian first officer

Dathon's first officer

The first officer aboard Dathon's Tamarian deep space cruiser was considerably more hostile towards the USS Enterprise-D than Dathon. He did not appear to trust the foreigners whose language was incomprehensible to his people, and he took pleasure in Commander Riker's confusion while Captain Picard was trapped on a deserted planet with Dathon.

Once Dathon was dead and Picard beamed safely aboard the Enterprise, the first officer was able to see that the Federation officer and his captain had learned to communicate with one another. Pleased with the outcome despite his captain's death, the first officer assumed a much more respectful disposition before his ship and the Enterprise went their separate ways. (TNG: "Darmok")

The first officer was played by actor Richard Allen, who described the experience as, "You haven't lived until you go through 4 hours of latex make-up to look like a "pig face boy"." [4](X)
According to the call sheet for this day, Allen filmed all his scenes on 25 July 1991 on Paramount Stage 9.
The Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives his name as Togaran.

She was instructed by the first officer to close the communications channel when Commander Riker tried to warn the Tamarians, in vain, that their captain was under attack on the planet. (TNG: "Darmok")

She filmed her scenes on 25 July 1991 on Paramount Stage 9, according to the call sheet.
