Temporal Incident?

So I walked casually around the Dyson Sphere Battlezone, farming Dilithium, when this guy walked by, shooting Voth Specialists.
He is no player character, and I am pretty sure he is no Boff either - he followed nobody around and acted like the NPCs stationed in the Dyson Sphere (walking around a bit, shooting Voth, returning to a fixed point).

The question is... who is he? And why is he using a 23rd Century uniform and equipment? :confused:

    He definitely came from a triolic pattern enhancer, they have a random chance of spawning devidians and TOS era personal, I've spawned that NPC many times myself. It was hilarious when I got him and a klingon on Nukara and burned up like in Gre'thor XD

    Triolic pattern enhancer sometimes spawns TOS era federation fellows, as well as devidiants occasionally.

    You have just witnessed the Return of the Sisko. In "Trials and Tribble-ations" uniform.

    In all seriousness, welcome to STO, were we can replicate anything but bug spray. This is a bug, originating from the character model you see being used in several Federation episodes, as well as in the Devidian story arc. He is classified as a Federation Captain NPC. The Dyson Sphere Battlezone uses Federation Captain NPC's on a regular base. The game just bugged and picked a skin it should not have, that is all.

    EDIT: Or its just the Triolic Pattern Enhancer, as mentioned by my two ninjas :P.

    Ah, I did actually know that about the Pattern Enhancer. But I never actually saw the guy, so I did not think of it when I saw him. :D
    Thank you for the answer.

    And... poor Starfleet Captain. Suddenly surrounded by bio-engineered Dinosaurs from space.

    Wow... I might actually have to dust off my Triolic Pattern Enhancers... They never saw use outside of... my bank.
