Maiek Takaram was a Romulan male in the 24th century, who had some encounters with the crew of the USS Pioneer, and considered himself to be a "friend" of Captain Benjamin Kelsoe. (Star Trek: Pioneer) In 2380, Commander Takaram was made the commanding officer of the Romulan Warbird Thrai. In 2381, Takaram made his first contact with the USS Pioneer, in which he told Captain Benjamin Kelsoe that Commander L'mar was still at large and was probably working with the So'ja Coalition.
