Casey Goodwin was a male Human cadet at Starfleet Academy. In 2380, he was roommates with fellow Cadet Jeremy McCall. That year, he was a student in Professor Mlikk's first contact class, but his studying for a project in that class was interrupted when McCall insisted on watching Illuminating the City of Light in their dorm room.

Goodwin was a native of Alpha Proxima II. He tended, when exasperated, to use the phrase, "For the love of kimchee," a habit he picked up from his mother. (ST novel: Articles of the Federation)
