Bio

Larraq is a Peacekeeper captain and leader of a group of Special Ops commandos. He and his squad board Moya after their Marauder is damaged while on its way to a gammak base. They come face to face with Moya's crew, who are posing as a Peacekeeper ship. Larraq has the Leviathan set course for the base, stating that he and his team are on a mission of utmost importance: recovery and transport of a dangerous fugitive. Not long after their arrival, Chiana's and Rygel's curiosity results in the release of the prisoner--a highly dangerous intellant virus that they have tracked for nearly a cycle. The virus jumps from host to host as the commandos work with Moya's crew to track it down, eventually resulting in the deaths of all of the commandos and Larraq's infection. With the virus controlling him, Larraq attempts to escape in the Marauder, stabbing Aeryn (whom Larraq had grown close to) on the way to give him time. Quick thinking by Crichton, however, allows Moya to ignite the Marauder's leaking cesium fuel, destroying the ship and Larraq with it. This is the first time that Crichton kills an intelligent being in the series.

Crichton later poses as Larraq when he attempts to infiltrate the Gammak Base to find a tissue sample to save Aeryn's life.

  • "Awful big ship for one little girl."
  • "Emergency situation. My team and I are on a priority Red-One mission. We need your boat here to complete it. Therefore, under Article 4-1-4 Decca, I hereby assume command over it, your crew... And you.
  • "My people will follow every one of my orders instantly - and without question. If I asked them to spit out of their eye I expect them to drop dead trying. Make them stand up just because I walk into a room? Come on - I respect them too much for that."
  • (To Aeryn) "I've seen you in action. What are you doing in Ustar Regiment huh? You're being wasted there. You're wasting yourself there. Plus, I like the idea of having you nearby."
