Jones; Entrepreneur
and licensed asteroid locator. Jones visited Deep Space Station K-7
in 2267 to pursue trade. Jones's merchandise included Spican flame
gems, Antarian Glow Water, and, unfortunately, tribbles. Jones became
embroiled in a dispute between Federation and Klingon personnel at
the station when his tribbles multiplied prodigiously, threatening to
consume storage bins of valuable grain. Jones's
punishment for his part in the mischief was to pick up every Tribble
on the station, a task Spock estimated would take at least 17 years,
seeing as there were 1,771,561 of them. "The
Trouble With Tribbles"
The Enterprise again crosses paths with Cyrano Jones, who this time has tribbles that do not breed, but instead grow to a tremendous size. He was being chased by Captain Koloth because he stole their "glommer" a creature manufactured to attack tribbles. "More Troubles, More Tribbles"
