Tom Riker Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Tom Riker is a transporter-generated clone of William Riker. Both Rikers are legally named William Thomas Riker, but the clone uses the name "Tom" while the original uses the name "Will." Tom shaved his sideburns and wears his beard as a goatee to keep himself visually distinct from his "brother". He was created some seven years before the Enterprise-D's launch, while Will was the Second Officer of the Starship Potemkin. Tom Riker continued in Starfleet for a short time after being recovered by the Enterprise. Later he secretly joined the Maquis and helped a group of Maquis steal the Starship Defiant from Deep Space Nine. Captain Sisko allowed the Cardassians to capture him on the condition that Defiant be returned to Starfleet and Tom Riker not be executed.Tom Riker is presumably still alive. His current status is unknown, as the Cardassian forces had been defeated in the Dominion War.
