History
Edit
In the 2230s, Robau commanded the Kelvin with Lieutenant Commander George Kirk as his first officer. In the beginning of an alternate reality chain of events caused by time travel, Robau and Kirk both had their lives cut short by an attack by the 24th century Romulan starship Narada, under the command of Captain Nero. After several Kelvin crewmembers were killed by the Narada's opening salvo, Robau agreed to take a shuttlecraft to the Narada to discuss terms with the Romulans. In truth, Nero's offer of discussion was to obtain information about his vessel's location. After Robau informed Nero that the year was 2233, Nero used the Debrune teral'n to kill the Starfleet officer. (ST movie & novelization: Star Trek)
After the Narada was disabled by the suicide run of the USS Kelvin, Nero ordered Xandr to throw Robau's body thrown into the replicator system so as not to let the body "go to waste." Before the destruction of the body, the Narada was captured by Kor's forces. Robau's corpse was taken by the Klingons for other unknown purposes. (ST comic: "Nero, Number One")
- Ambassador Spock's commentary about George Kirk's survival of serving on the Kelvin in the unchanged timeline indicates that Robau probably had a longer life in the unaltered chain of events as well.
AppendicesEdit
BackgroundEdit
The novelization of the film lists his first name as Pierre, however this detail is in contradiction to canon, where the film displayed his name as "Robau, R.".
Both Captain Robau and First Officer Kirk wore blue uniforms, which is an indication that, in the Starfleet uniform issue of the 2230s, blue was the color that signified command division personnel.
