Admiral James Komack (also known as Byron Komack, Franklin Komack, Westervliet Komack or Sebastian Westervliet) was a Starfleet flag officer. He served in many posts, including the head of Starfleet Command for Sector 9 in the 2260s and with the senior admiralty on Earth. In the opinion of Rear Admiral Heihachiro Nogura, Komack was was a “rules person” rather than a “people person". Komack "seemed disposed to view the universe around him from a stark, black-and-white perspective, rather than learning to appreciate the myriad shades of gray to be found in the broad spectrum between those two extremes."
