Casey (General)

General Casey was an official in the Earth military in the 2150s. Captain Jonathan Archer requested a MACO detachment from Casey when Enterprise left for its mission to the Delphic Expanse. Archer remarked that Casey had told him the personnel assigned were the best. (ENT: "The Expanse")

After his return from the Expanse in 2154, Captain Archer talked to General Casey about assigning an entire squad of MACOs to Enterprise and suggested that Captain Erika Hernandez do the same for the Columbia. (ENT: "Home")

Casey was possibly a reference to the character of the same name and rank played by Star Trek veteran Paul Winfield in the 1996 sci-fi comedy Mars Attacks! However, it could just as easily be a play on the popular chain of convenient stores (Casey's General Stores). It may also have been meant to honor General George Casey, the commander of U.S. Army forces in Iraq. Another possibility is that the character was named for Casey Biggs, who played Damar.
