Kevin Alton was a lead reporter for the Federation News Network in 2372. Alton and his crew aboard the D'Audney reported on a Starfleet-Myhr'an battle for Canaileus Prime. After shocking Myhr'an attacks that surprised even the FNN crew, Alton beamed his crew aboard the USS Cantabrian before crashing the D'Audney into a Myhr'an battle cruiser. The Cantabrian crew saved him before the D'Audney's destruction. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Oh, What a Lovely War")
