Sord was a strong reptilian being that was one of six specialists chosen by the Vedala, in 2269, to recover the stolen Soul of the Skorr. (TAS: "The Jihad") The voice of Sord was provided by James Doohan. Unlike the other individuals chosen for the mission, Sord's specialty was never specified, although one could suppose that he was there as the "strong man." Author Michael Jan Friedman has agreed with fan speculation that Sord is probably Gnalish (β), a race first featured in his Pocket TNG novel, Reunion, in particular of the relatively smaller Fejjimaera sub-species introduced in Progenitor.
