Rodzinski was a male human in Starfleet in the 24th century. As of 2370, he held the rank of Commander and served as chief engineer aboard the USS Odyssey. He was killed in that year by Orta, using the newly-unearthed Malkus Artifact. Rodzinski was survived by a wife, who was a Starfleet officer serving on Starbase 12, and a daughter, also a Starfleet officer, assigned to the USS Sugihara.
