Baloran (portrayed by Stephen McHattie) was a guest character from Season 3 of Star Trek: Enterprise. Appearing in the episode "The Xindi", he was the foreman of a trellium mine on an unidentified planet in the Delphic Expanse. He had heavy ridges above and around his eyes. Many blemishes – including pustules and ill-healing gashes – were on his head, which also had patches of fair-colored hair protruding from the scalp. The foreman used an inhaler to breathe, but had a persistent wheeze and an occasional cough.
While Jonathan Archer was interested in interrogating a Xindi named Kessick working at the mine, Baloran demanded a half-liter of platinum in return. Because Archer wanted assurances that Kessick was a Xindi, the foreman gave him Kessick's finger, which the foreman had cut off. His mining colony was manned by forced labour and he tried to delay the Humans long enough for his warships to arrive, capture Enterprise's crew and use them as slave labour in the mine. After Archer failed in an attempt to rescue the Xindi male, the foreman ordered that Archer, Tucker and Kessick be killed. During a subsequent Starfleet rescue attempt (which resulted in Archer and Tucker being saved), Baloran managed to kill Kessick. However, the foreman was in turn killed by a MACO sniper.
