Koth was a male Shirn who lived in the 24th century. In 2373, Koth's ship, the Pley'ta, intercepted the USS Defiant and brought Benjamin Sisko and Jadzia Dax to the Daralis Project base, where Koth put Sisko on trial for causing the death of Garra Pol, the test pilot for the Daralis Project whose pod was believed destroyed when the Defiant entered the anomaly the Shirn were using for their test. (DS9 comic: "Risk, Part One") Koth later released Sisko when Miles O'Brien was able to locate Pol. (DS9 comic: "Risk, The Conclusion")
