"Come now."
"Swindler and con man..."
"Entrepreneur!"
"Liar and rogue."
"Did I leave you with that impression?"
- James T. Kirk and Harcourt Mudd, 2268, "I, Mudd"
Harcourt Fenton "Harry" Mudd was a male Human civilian in the 23rd century. He was a notorious con artist encountered several times by the crew of the USS Enterprise. Essentially more of a lovable rogue than a true villain, he lived by his wits on the other side of the law.
Mudd's interstellar exploits began when he deserted his nagging wife, Stella and became a peripatetic grifter who roamed through the galaxy practicing various cons, schemes and scams--not always successfully. By 2266, Mudd had already been convicted of smuggling (receiving a suspended sentence), transporting stolen goods, and purchasing a space vessel using counterfeit currency. For these last two crimes, Mudd was sentenced to undergo psychiatric treatment, the effectiveness of which was officially disputed. He held a Master's License permitting him to legally operate a spacecraft, but this license was revoked on stardate 1116.4 for operating stolen spacecraft and transporting illegal goods.
A small class J cargo ship was in the possession of Harcourt Fenton Mudd in 2266. Although officially designated as a cargo ship, Mudd was using it as a transport.
On stardate 1329.1, Mudd was using this ship to transport three women to Ophiucus III to become wives for settlers on the planet when it was detected by the USS Enterprise. Being an unregistered, unidentified ship, Mudd's vessel was pursued by the Enterprise. In attempting to escape, Mudd burned out his ship's engines, leaving it powerless as it drifted into an asteroid belt. Although Mudd and his "cargo" of three women were rescued by the Enterprise, his Class J vessel was destroyed after impacting an asteroid.
