Farnsworth was a 23rd century Human man. He served in Starfleet as a security officer aboard the Federation starship USS Enterprise in the 2270s under the command of Captain James T. Kirk.
History
In 2274, Farnsworth, Gunderson and other security guards followed Sergeant Umeki in response to an alert raised by visiting alienologist Mernat about his having smelled vapors of leaking theep in engineering. Effects of the drug drove the Ferreth investigator into a killing fever. While struggling to restrain Mernat, Umeki spotted two suspected smugglers and ordered Farnsworth and Gunderson to arrest them. Before the guards could reach them, however, the two criminals fell onto the short-circuiting transporter relays and were beamed into open space. (TOS comic: "The Wristwatch Plantation")
