Prixus

Prixus appears as a technical specialist recruited by Wesley Crusher to join a planetary survey team, nominated specifically for mineralogy and metallurgy. Mentioned twice by Wesley during personnel planning, Prixus occupies a behind-the-scenes but functionally crucial role: a field scientist whose expertise in rock chemistry and metallurgical systems qualifies them for volcanology-adjacent work. Their narrative function centers on technical competence and roster inclusion, lending scientific credibility to Wesley’s command decisions even though Prixus performs no on-screen actions in the processed material.
