I. Burton

I. Burton was the Captain of the Earth Cruiser Tobermoon. After deciding to disobey the order to evacuate the Vela scientific expedition on Unzervalt and destroy the Precursor base, Burton's First Officer and fiance, Commander Chi, was ordered to return to Earth with the Tobermoon to inform Star Control of Burton's decision.

On Captain Burton's later return trip to Earth, the Tobermoon was discovered drifting in Vela's Oort cloud, damaged by energy blasts that matched that of an Ur-Quan Dreadnought. No remains of the crew nor of First Officer Chi were found.
