Appearances[]

Background information[]

Galloway was played by David Ross. The redshirt character did not have a set identity until Kirk referred to him as "Lieutenant Galloway" in his fourth appearance in "A Taste of Armageddon".

The shooting script for The City on the Edge of Forever called him Davis.

Galloway was the second Star Trek recurring character, after Leslie, to return from the dead without explanation. Captain Tracey killed him with a phaser blast in "The Omega Glory". Ross appeared in "Day of the Dove" in the role of Lieutenant Johnson. He appeared again in "Turnabout Intruder" with the on-screen credit misspelled as "Lt. Galoway".

Apocrypha[]

In Star Trek II: Short Stories, Galloway was born and raised on Mars. He attended Starfleet Security Forces School for training as a security guard. After graduation, he served aboard Federation starships USS Leo, USS Jassan, USS Nelson and USS Thelonii before joining the Enterprise. By 2277, he was the security chief on the Enterprise and held the rank of sergeant.

James Blish's adaptations explained his demise and return. In the novelization of "The Omega Glory", Captain Tracey killed Lieutenant Raintree with his phaser, not Galloway. In the novelization of "Day of the Dove", the Beta XII-A entity restored an injured Galloway from his sword wounds, not Lieutenant Johnson.

According to the novel Provenance of Shadows, his full name was David L. Galloway; an apparent tribute to David L. Ross, the actor who portrayed him on the original series.
