Captain Feldt was a US Naval officer and the commander of the Andromeda.
History
Feldt was a middle aged officer who struggled with a drinking problem and whose career had stalled due to his inability to play politics.
Feldt applied for a prestigious posting with the United States Northern Command, but he was passed over and the role went to Captain Rodgers, a much younger officer who had previously been Feldt's subordinate and was also the son-in-law of an influential admiral. Feldt was instead given command of "Project: Pressure", a contingency plan for dealing with first contact which was unlikely to ever see action. This professional humiliation caused him to relapse into alcoholism.
Although Pressure had been intended to be a career dead-end for Feldt, an alien craft actually did crashland on Earth, landing in the "spaceship graveyard" at Point Nemo. Feldt took the Andromeda and a team of scientists to attempt to make contact with the creature within. However, the entity had the ability to manipulate minds, and exploited Feldt's feelings of resentment and persecution to drive him into a paranoid mania. He began attacking the crew and was killed by the security officer Ivanov.
