In 2370, Koral had acquired the second piece of a Vulcan artifact (the Stone of Gol) and had arranged to rendezvous with Arctus Baran until his shuttle was detained by the USS Enterprise-D for "health and safety inspections". (TNG: "Gambit, Part II" ) Koral was played by basketball hall of famer James Worthy. For this reason, in Q's Guide to the Continuum, a caption in one of the articles says "If you've said Koral, you've said it tall", a reference to Worthy's height. At six feet, nine inches tall, he is one of the tallest people ever to appear in a Star Trek production.
