Merik and a landing party beamed down to the fourth planet, where they were met by Proconsul Claudius Marcus. Merik was made the First Citizen and Lord of the Games, and his crew convinced to beam down to the surface, where they were forced to fight as gladiators.

| - R.M. Merik était le Capitaine du vaisseau de surveillance SS Beagle de la Marine marchande de la Fédération.
- Captain R.M. Merik was the commanding officer of the Federation Merchant Marine survey vessel SS Beagle. In his youth he attended Starfleet Academy at the same time as James T. Kirk, but was dropped in his fifth year because he failed a psychosimulator test. After this he joined the Merchant Marine. In 2262, the Beagle became disabled near the System 892, when it suffered damage from a meteor storm. Merik and a landing party beamed down to the fourth planet of the system to look for iridium ore for repairs. While on the planet, Merik was met by the local inhabitants lead by Proconsul Claudius Marcus. The proconsul convinced Merik that it would be unfair to 892-IV's highly traditional society to carry the word of their existence elsewhere. Persuaded, Merik had the remainder of his crew beam down to the surface, where they were regarded as barbarians by the inhabitants and forced to fight as gladiators. Merik became Merikus, the First Citizen and Lord of the Games. Merik died at the hand of Marcus in 2268 while helping the USS Enterprise crew escape from certain death. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses" ) Merik was played by actor William Smithers. Despite the fact that his name was clearly spelled out in the episode's end credits, the spellings for his character have inconsistently been referenced as both "Merik" and "Merrick", stemming back to both spellings being used in the script. "Merik" was the spelling in the Star Trek Concordance, whereas the spelling "Merrick" was used in the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 37) (and related publications authored by Mike and Denise Okuda), as well as the character biography and episode summary on StarTrek.com, and additionally, in the English subtitles on the TOS Season 2 DVD.

Danach geht er zur Handelsmarine der Föderation, wo er bis in die frühen 2260er zum Captain aufsteigt. Er erhält das Kommando über das Vermessungsschiff SS Beagle. 2262 wird sein Schiff, die SS Beagle durch einen Meteoritensturm in der Nähe des Planeten 892-IV beschädigt. Um Iridiumerz für die Reparatur zu beschaffen beamt Merik mit einem Landetrupp auf die Oberfläche, wo er von Prokonsul Claudius Marcus festgenommen und davon überzeugt wird, dass er auf dem Planeten bleiben müsse, um deren Kultur nicht zu gefährden. Als der Rest der Crew ebenfalls auf die Oberfläche beamt, wird er ebenfalls festgenommen. Anders als Merik müssen diese jedoch als Gladiatoren in der Arena kämpfen, während ihr Captain unter dem Namen „Mericus“ Erster Bürger wird. Merik beteiligt sich an der Verfolgung und Unterdrückung aufständiger Sklaven und der „Kinder der Sonne“. Als 2268 die USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) unter seinem alten Freund Captain Kirk den Planeten erreicht besinnt er sich und verhilft Kirk und seinem Landetrupp zur Flucht aus der Gefangenschaft des Prokonsuls. Dabei wird er von Claudius Marcus erstochen. (TOS: ) R.M. Merik wurde von William Smithers gespielt und von Holger Hagen sychronisiert.
