Morgan Korsmo was a 24th century Human individual who was a career Starfleet officer. He was a classmate of Jean-Luc Picard's at Starfleet Academy. During his later life, Korsmo mused that Picard could attribute his success as a Starfleet captain to Korsmo's own efforts, as their rivalry pushed Picard to succeed. In 2368, Korsmo was given command of the USS Excalibur. He commanded that vessel until 2373, when he was killed in the line of duty against the Borg during the Battle of Sector 001 .
