Apela Luss was an individual who worked for the Federation News Network in the 25th century. In 2401, Luss was asked about the fight between the Klingon Empire and Gorn Hegemony, giving an honest answer: that the fight was a stalemate, but the Klingons would not give up and that many people would die.
