S'Slath-S'Slee was a male member of the alien race known as the Gorns. He was a military commander and captain of an MA-12-class starship for the Gorn Hegemony. In the year 2267, the Gorn Hegemony learned about the establishment of a Federation Earth outpost on the planet Cestus III, which was within their territory. Although the Gorn did not regularly inhabit the planet, they perceived the Federation's presence as an invasion and took measures to repel them.
