Tovan Khev: The Most Dangerous Game

Given that he's one of the most hated NPCs to have been created in recent MMO history, I'm surprised that there don't appear to be any Foundry missions created in Tovan Khev's 'honor' that let you go all Dexter on him - maybe while tromping through some eccentric millionaire's private island jungle, a la "The Most Dangerous Game."
Although, honestly, being able to blow him out an airlock or obliterate a shuttlecraft that he's aboard (provided that we are able to hear his blood-curdling screams as the ship disintegrates) would be just as fun.
TL;DR version: Does anyone know of any foundry missions that let you murder Tovan Khev?

Watching him get cut down by hordes of enemies, while hilarious, doesn't deliver the level of satisfaction that I imagine personally vaporizing him would. I'd love to nail him with a TOS phaser and watch him throw the "Thriller" pose as he disintegrated into glowy blue nothingness.
That would mean playing a romulan toon though, which I have no intention of doing until I can dismiss him.
Anyway I thought there were rules against making missions like this? If there is one though I too would like to play it at least once.
When I saw the thread title I thought this was going to be something horrifying though. Made me think of the 'most dangerous game' quests the klingons have, and the idea of having to deal with 50 Khevs, even if I can kill them, is the stuff of nightmares.

You can of course forget about it and use him but then you are underperforming. Players that reason like this are not some much interested in stories and making them, hence the foundry. If they make a foundry mission it will probably has farming as a main goal. Builds and numbers have their interest.
I am surprised we suddenly see so many Tovan Khev has to go threads. With the new boff system, you need far less boff slots than in the old system. What is the problem?
I like Tovan Khev. Not so much the character, but he is part of the Romulan story arc and that is one I realy like. Let me give some numbers and compare the Romulan story arc, LoR to Delta Rising.
I give LoR a 10 out f 1-10, 10 is the best, as a benchmark.
LoR story - 10, to compare Delta Rising 6
LoR gameplay - 10, Delta Rising 4
Oh, and something else. Threads about Tovan Khev belong in the Romulan gameplay forum.
That's an interesting point. But I think a bit simplistic. I've seen plenty of people complain about Tovan Khev because of the way her dominated so much of the Romulan story arc, or because of the way he came to represent the decidedly uncool 'refugee Romulans' that people were given, instead of a Romulan Star Empire faction that were hoping for.
Say, an abandoned Dominion Cloning Facility has been reactivated, and after a computer accident, churns out Tovan Khevs by the minute. (They originally wanted to replace the original with a single clone so the True Way would have eyes and ears inside the New Republic...)
Oh, and I think you should make it a KDF mission. There is actually a KDF mission "The Most Dangerous Game", and I think it's for killing ground NPCs.
Yeah, I liked him, too. Well, like is maybe much - but having a Bridge Officer that actually has a story and a personality and is not just the source of some powers on my power tray was pretty neat, and helped make the whole Romulan Arc special.
Of those, I would only play the Slamek one, because he's a servile little traitor who actively sells you out to Hakeev. All Kurland does is have a voiceover some people don't like--and as for Tovan, I actually liked him.

I don't know why people keep insisting that his lack of that trait must be the biggest reason people hate him. It may have previously been a reason before the boff revamp, but even then I really doubt it was even close to the most common reason. Certainly had nothing to do with why I hate him.
Nah, they hate him because they can't dismiss him. None of the other story boffs have SRO either, but nobody cares abot them.
ummm, NO.
His VO is painful to listen to
Its HIS story, NOT yours, you are just a minor character in HIS story
He barks orders at you constantly
He butts in regardless of if he is seated at a station.
You are forced to ask his opinion on everything
His dialog is poorly written and even more poorly acted
He doesn't even look Romulan - and when you get him in the tailor its because SURPRISE he has mostly human options.
He is a daily reminder of the horrible story the devs forced the players into and the inconvievably bad take on Romulans, He is a symbol of all that is wrong with STO Romulans
Its poor game design to force a character on players for a laundry list of reasons.
Oh yeah, and his crappy traits.
THIS.
May I have your permission to condense this and make it a forum signature? This truly captures in the most cohesive way possible everything that is wrong with Tovan Khev.
And then there's the people on this forum who try and accuse you of various psychotic disorders or being a member of a hate group all because you don't like a character in a video game, but that's more an issue with this hell hole of a forum than Tovan. I don't remember ever seeing a thread on Khev without people throwing ridiculous accusations at his 'haters'.
*claps* Well said.
Yeah, I just *love* being accused of being a secret Stalinist, TRIBBLE or KKK member for having the horrifying desire to play as a Romulan that was actually representative of the ones from the shows...
As for the subject of a 'Most Dangerous Game' foundry mission for Tovan Khev or Slamek...why not both?
Now throw in D'Tan, and that would be amazing.

Hello Captain.
This channel is secure, to protect both our interests. The payment has been received and my associates have obtained their targets and transported them to the agreed location.
Captain Kurland, The merchant Cassidy, Tovan Khev and Slamek are now lost and confused, you can do with them what you will. A weapons cache has been left at the supplied beam down coordinates, and once you are finished leave everything alone and we will clean up.
Be sure to keep your end of the deal Captain, or you may find yourself in a similar predicament. There would be no shortage of clients wanting you as prey.
Pleasure doing business with you.

On another note, how funny would it be if such a mission was given a spotlight?
If I had any inkling of how to construct a Foundry mission, THIS would be the intro!
