Hector Arroyo

Ensign Hector Arroyo served in Starfleet Special Projects, where he worked with Lieutenant Shelly Marsden on the Hermes Project to develop an anti-singularity drive. Arroyo was the pilot of the six Hermes-class prototype ships that exploded as well as the Hermes-7, which included a bit of advanced alien debris that Marsden hoped with stabilize the anti-sing reaction. This debris was actually part of an advanced culture's starship and served as the housing for the sphere-encased brains they used to regulate their engine systems. Marsden's use of housing attracted Cabral, who phased through the hull of the Hermes-7 prototype containing the housing and took over control of the ship. Once Captain Reginald Bain was able to intercept the Hermes-7 and befriend Cabral. Cabral elected to remain aboard the ship, which was renamed the USS Anomaly, and Arroyo was made Helm Officer.
