Career[]
In 2290, Lukas was assigned to the USS Excelsior as chief engineer under Capt. Hikaru Sulu. He initially expressed doubt about Sulu's ability as a commander without the "supervision" of Captain James T. Kirk, but following the subsequent mission to aid in the disarmament of the Tabukans- during which Lukas was able to figure out a molecular dampening field that would allow the transport of the unstable Tabukan warheads with only some help from Captain Montgomery Scott-, he apologized for his earlier comment and assured Sulu that he respected his new commander.
