Hikaru Sulu assumed command of the Starship Excelsior in 2290 and conducted a three-year scientific mission in the Beta Quadrant. He played a pivotal role in the historic Khitomer peace conference of 2293 by helping to protect the conference against Federation and Klingon forces seeking to disrupt the peace process. Sulu had a wide range of hobbies, including botany, old-style handguns and fencing. The latter interest surfaced when Sulu suffered the effects of the Psi 2000 virus in 2266, and Sulu threatened everyone in sight with a foil. [TOS episode: The Naked Time]. Sulus first appearance was in TOS episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before", in which he was the ship´s physicist, but later he he got his familiar post at the helm.
