| - Rex Denning était un militaire américain au 20ème siècle.
- Lieutenant general Rex Denning was an officer in the United States Army Air Forces in the 1940s. He was a veteran of World War II, a command aviator, and a recipient of several high-ranking military decorations, including the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star (with oak leaf), Purple Heart, American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, and World War II Victory Medal. He had a brother-in-law who was a used car salesman. Rex's World War II service is not mentioned on screen, however his uniform displays his service medals. According to the script , he was a veteran of two world wars. In July, 1947, Denning was put in charge of the investigation into the crash of an extraterrestrial spacecraft in Roswell, New Mexico, by the order of President Harry S. Truman. The vessel's three Ferengi inhabitants, Quark, Rom, and Nog, who had accidentally traveled back in time from the year 2372 via a time warp, were kept in an examination room on a military base, while their ship was stored in Hangar 18, on the other side of the base. Quark initially attempted to convince Denning to enter into a business agreement with him, whereby Quark would supply Denning with advanced technology from the future in exchange for wealth. Denning, however, was concerned about the threat to national security that they might pose, and had them detained for interrogation. The Ferengi were eventually able to escape with the assistance of Professor Jeff Carlson and his fiancé Nurse Faith Garland, retrieve their ship and return to their own time by recreating the time warp. Denning subsequently issued orders that the public not be informed of the alien crash-landing, and that the official story remain that the Air Forces had only recovered a crashed weather balloon. (DS9: "Little Green Men") General Denning was played by Charles Napier. His first name comes from the script. According to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. 287), his name is a homage to actor Richard Denning.

- Rex Denning was a Human male who lived during the 19th and 20th centuries. He had served in World War II and, by 1947, was a lieutenant general in the United States Army Air Corps. Following the crash-landing of an extraterrestrial spacecraft in Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947, U.S. President Harry S. Truman ordered General Denning to find out all that he could from its Ferengi occupants Quark, Rom and Nog. He was unaware that the three aliens had been accidentally sent back in time from 2372. Denning was deeply suspicious of the Ferengi, whom he consistently referred to as "Martians," and believed that they were planning to invade Earth. His subordinate Captain James Wainwright agreed with this assessment of the ersatz Martians. The Ferengi were kept in the Roswell Army Air Field while their vessel was stored in Hangar 18 of the facility. Denning had little respect for Truman, referring to him contemptuously as "that little piano-playing Democrat." However, he claimed that the President was not "as dumb as he looked." He smoked cigars. Quark advised him to quit for the good of his health. Seeking to create a new and better alternate timeline in which the Ferengi would be much more powerful and influential than in the original one, Quark attempted to open up trade for advanced technology with the United States government by negotiating with Denning. However, these attempts caused Denning to distrust Quark even more as his behaviour reminded him of his brother-in-law, a used car salesman. He was also concerned that Quark would make good on his idle threat to supply technology to the Soviet Union if the US government was unwilling to trade. After reporting back to President Truman, General Denning had the Ferengi detained for interrogation and ordered Wainwright to discover their true purpose in visiting Earth. However, Quark, Rom and Nog were able to escape with the assistance of Professor Jeffrey Carlson and his fiancé Nurse Faith Garland. While Denning and several MPs nearly apprehended the Ferengi, they were incapacitated by Constable Odo, who had stowed away on Quark's ship. The four time travellers returned to their own time by recreating the time warp. Denning then told Captain Wainwright that they had nothing to worry about as they had found nothing more than a crashed weather balloon. (DS9 episode: "Little Green Men") With the signing of the National Security Act into law by President Harry S. Truman in September of that year, he became a member of the United States Air Force, as did every other serving member of the Army Air Corps. (TOS novel: From History's Shadow) The unofficial Human-Ferengi first contact became known as the Roswell Incident. Despite the US government's continued assertions to the contrary, rumours that an alien spacecraft crashed in Roswell persisted into the 21st century. Official first contact between humanity and the Ferengi would not take place until 2364, 417 years later.
