Lawrence Marvick
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
Doctor Lawrence "Larry" Marvick was a human engineer who lived in the 23rd century.
In the 2230s, Marvick was one of several engineers who were working on designs for the warp engines of the new Constitution-class of starships. Unknown to many, Marvick was helped in his research by Charles Tucker III, who had been living a secret life since 2161. Due to their close working relationship, the two engineers also became friends and Marvick accompanied Tucker to the Starfleet War Memorial, San Francisco, in 2238. (ENT novel: Last Full Measure)
In 2243, Marvick made an improvement in warp engines. (ST roleplay module: All Our Yesterdays: The Time Travel Sourcebook)
- The exact nature of the improvement was not mentioned in the All Our Yesterdays RPG book.
Following the launch of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in 2245, Marvick signed aboard the ship as chief engineer. Like most chief engineers he regarded the Enterprise as his and clashed several times with Captain Robert April regarding the treatment of the starship. (TOS short story: "Though Hell Should Bar the Way")
- Note: In the short story, "Though Hell Should Bar the Way", Marvick was referred to as Dr. Laurence Marvick.
By the 2260s, Marvick was working with Dr. Miranda Jones in adapting starship navigational instruments so that Medusans could operate them. In 2268, Marvick, Jones, and Medusan Ambassador Kollos, boarded the USS Enterprise. Marvick had fallen in love with Jones and attempted to persuade her to leave Kollos' side to be with him. When she rebuffed him, Marvick attempted to kill Kollos, but he was driven insane after seeing the Medusan. In his madness he took the Enterprise beyond the galactic barrier and soon died of insanity. (TOS episode: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?")
