Abraham Silver was a male Human in Starfleet in the 24th century. He was born on Earth, and never left the Sol system until he had joined Starfleet. His first assignment as an ensign was aboard the USS Gettysburg, where he became friends with David Gold. Six months into his assignment, he took shore leave at Cathius IX, and while there, was conned into a game of chance where he soon ran up a large debt. When he refused to pay, he was beaten to death by the Gallamite gamemaster, the Katcherian casino manager, and their Mausetite guard. An automatic transporter recall was activated when his life functions ceased, and he was beamed back to the Gettysburg and revived.
