'''Slug''' is a crewman aboard the supply ship ''[[Broadside (TOS-BN)|Broadside]]'' under Captain [[Ironhand (TOS-BN)|Ironhand]]'s command. He is described as "slump-shouldered" and "pot-bellied," with an extremely lethargic demeanor that epitomizes the ship's poor crew discipline.

Slug serves as an unofficial greeter for new arrivals aboard ''Broadside'', escorting them to Captain Ironhand's quarters for questioning. He also leads new crew members to their assigned quarters after acceptance by the captain. His performance of these duties is notably slow and unenthusiastic, moving at a pace described as "almost ritualistically lethargic." When leaving the captain's presence, he takes "forever to close the cabin door," which visibly disgusts Ironhand.<ref name="STG119">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|authorlink=Glen A.
