Born on Deneva in 2219, Jones spent most of his life in space and operated in the numerous planets near the Organian Neutral Zone. Jones' life-long dream was to make an immensely profitable business deal that would allow him to retire and settle on Deneva with his adopted daughter, Hellena.

| - Cyrano Jones was a Human male who made a living as a merchant captain and independent trader in the 23rd century. Born on Deneva in 2219, Jones spent most of his life in space and operated in the numerous planets near the Organian Neutral Zone. Jones' life-long dream was to make an immensely profitable business deal that would allow him to retire and settle on Deneva with his adopted daughter, Hellena. However, Jones barely stayed one step ahead of financial ruin, and made quick (and honest) deals in Spican flame gems, Antarean glow water and tribbles. (FASA RPG module: The Federation) Jones was aboard Federation Deep Space Station K-7 in 2267 during a Klingon attempt to control Sherman's Planet which involved the poisoning of quadrotriticale which was bound for the planet. Fortunately, Jones was indirectly responsible for exposing the Klingons plan when a batch of tribbles that he had brought aboard had infested the station and eaten the grain. As a punishment for flooding the station with tribbles, Jones was given a twenty year sentence to clear the station of the creatures, although USS Enterprise science officer, Spock, predicted it would take 17.5 years. (TOS episode & novelization: The Trouble with Tribbles; DS9 episode & novelization: Trials and Tribble-ations; WizKids module: Attack Wing) However, Jones had managed to escape his sentence and was once again roaming the galaxy by 2270. On one of his trips he was able to illegally sell a batch of tribbles on a Klingon planet. While on the planet he was able to acquire a genetically-engineered tribble predator known as a glommer, which he claimed under space salvage laws. He was able to escape back to Federation space in a one man Federation scoutship, but was pursued by Captain Koloth and the IKS Devisor. Thankfully, Jones was rescued by the Enterprise, but he was placed under arrest by Captain James T. Kirk for breaking laws pertaining to the transport of animals which had proven harmful as well as three violations of Federation mandates and forty-seven local mandates. However, Jones claimed that his latest batch of tribbles were safe as they had been engineered to be incapable of reproducing. However, Koloth contacted Kirk and demanded that Jones and the glommer be turned over to them, which, Kirk refused to obey. Kirk later surrendered the glommer to Koloth once he had explained its purpose, but Jones remained aboard the Enterprise and was eventually handed over to the authorities. (TAS episode & novelization: More Tribbles, More Troubles) A Klingon physician, Doctor Nej, later theorized that Jones' encounter with the Devisor, must have resulted in a dormant strain of Levodian flu retrovirus being activated and released on Koloth's vessel, resulting in all of the QuchHa' crewmembers being reverted to their normal Klingon appearances once they had been exposed to the glommer. (TOS novel: Excelsior: Forged in Fire) Galactic Pets, an establishment on Deep Space 9's Promenade, was part of a company owned by Jones. (DS9 comic: "Images")
- From 2261 to 2268, Cyrano Jones earned a marginal living as a trader buying and selling rare merchandise. Among his wares, Jones pawned articles such as Spican flame gems, Antarean glow water and tribbles. Four months before stardate 4523, Jones was in the Klingon sphere-of-influence. In 2268, Jones was present on the Federation Deep Space Station K-7 during the Klingon plot to control Sherman's Planet, having arrived on the station aboard his merchant starship, the Spacematic. He was responsible for the station's infestation with tribbles, which he was sentenced to clean up or face a twenty-year prison sentence for transporting a dangerous lifeform off its native planet. His sentence was expected to take 17.9 years, which Kirk cuttingly suggested can best be considered "job security" for the massiveness of the task. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles" ; DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations") Jones managed to escape his sentence and made off for a Klingon planet where he illegally sold a number of tribbles. In 2269, while on the Klingon planet, Jones acquired a genetically-engineered Klingon tribble predator called a glommer, which he claimed under space salvage laws. He escaped the planet in a one-man Federation scout ship and was pursued by a Klingon battle cruiser commanded by Captain Koloth for causing ecological sabotage to the planet. The USS Enterprise rescued Jones and a number of tribbles from his scout ship moments before the Klingons destroyed it. Kirk immediately arrested Jones for breaking the law for transporting animals proven harmful as well as for three violations of Federation mandates and forty-seven local ones. Jones, however, declared that they were safe tribbles that he had genetically engineered for compatibility with humanoid ecology – they were incapable of reproducing. Koloth contacted the Enterprise demanding they turn over Jones and the glommer, noting that they were even prepared to go to war if they had to. Kirk refused until Koloth explained that they needed the glommer Jones stole in order to grow more of them so that they could rid the Klingon planet of the tribbles Jones had sold on it, before it became completely overrun. Kirk handed over the glommer to Koloth, and following the successful removal of the tribbles from the Enterprise, turned Jones over to the proper authorities. (TAS: "More Tribbles, More Troubles")
