Zim Brott and his children
Zim Brott was a Bolian petty officer in Starfleet, who served on Deep Space 9 from 2370 to 2375. Brott has a wife and co-husband on Bolarus IX, as well as two children. His quarters on DS9 were located in section H43 of the habitat ring.
In 2375, Brott was the third Starfleet officer murdered by a science officer named Chu'lak, who shot him through the heart using a TR-116 rifle. Like the previous victims, Brott had been targeted because there was a photograph of him laughing in his quarters. (DS9: "Field of Fire")
- Brott was uncredited played by extra Chris Kelly.
- His rank is the only time a "petty officer" has been referenced in dialogue, even though there have been numerous chief petty officers. The only other reference to petty officer grades was in Robert Fletcher's uniform designs for the Star Trek Movies, which featured a variety of enlisted insignia. It has been speculated that his rank insignia as a petty officer would probaby be a version of Miles O'Brien's senior chief petty officer insignia, with less chevrons pips (O'Brien's insignia has three chevrons and two pips).
