History[]

In late2152, Duras was ordered to apprehend a group ofArin'Sen rebels that had fled from Klingon oppression. By the time theBortas arrived, the rebels had been rescued by theEarthstarship,Enterprise.CaptainJonathan Archer refused to return the rebels which led to a fire-fight between theEnterprise and theBortas. Duras was further humiliated when theEnterprise was able to disable theBortas around agas giant and didn't destroy them. When Duras returned home without the refugees, he was demoted to second weapons officer and forced to serve onTy'Gokor. (ENTepisode: "Judgment")

In early2153, Duras was given command of aBird-of-Prey and had one final chance to have his revenge on Archer and destroy theEnterprise. He pursued theEnterprise toEarth and nearly succeeded in destroying the starship, until reinforcements arrived and warded Duras off. While theEnterprise was being refitted for her mission into theDelphic Expanse, Duras laid in wait at the edge of the system. When theEnterprise finally arrived at the Expanse, Duras ambushed theEnterprise with two other Birds-of-Prey. Unfortunately, theEnterprise's enhanced weaponry and special maneuvering by the starship led to the death of Duras and the destruction of his ship. (ENTepisode &novelization:The Expanse)
