Jan Rosenstrum was a 24th century Human who was a Starfleet officer with many years of service. Rosenstrum was a captain who was a commanding officer responsible for an away team on a primitive planet in the early 24th century, around the turn of the 2330s decade. Among the party members were Jean-Luc Picard and Starkis Orilov. While the team waited for a break in a radiation belt to allow them to leave the world, Orilov provoked a native animal that was camouflaged as a tree root. The creature grabbed Rosenstrum, who was saved only by a risky phaser shot from Picard. (TNG comic: "The Noise of Justice")
