An exobiologist, he was promoted to captain after making First
Contact with the Yridians, a species which Starfleet had
previously believed to be extinct. Ransom subsequently took
command of the USS Equinox, a Nova-class science vessel, which
was pulled into the Delta Quadrant in 2371 by the alien being
known only as "the Caretaker."
Burke had been assigned to the Nova-class science vessel
Equinox. In that year, the Equinox was forcibly transported to
the Delta Quadrant by the alien entity known only as "the
Caretaker."
As the Equinox's acting chief engineer, Gilmore participated in
criminal experiments to augment their warp drive by murdering a
series of nucleogenic lifeforms and converting their remains
into a source of fuel, presenting the crew with the opportunity
of returning to the Alpha Quadrant in mere months. This incurred
the wrath of the lifeforms, however, who began to stage
near-constant attacks on the Equinox, gradually depleting the
ship's defenses.
