Ronald D. Moore is a writer and producer of several Star Trek series, as well as several other science fiction and genre programs.
Moore graduated Cornell University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. He then moved to Los Angeles for a career as a writer. He sold his first script, called "The Bonding" to Paramount in the setting of Star Trek: The Next Generation and was hired in 1989 as a staff writer. In 1991 he was promoted to supervising producer. He remained at that position throughout the final season. He co-wrote 27 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation including the series finale, "All Good Things..." for which he won the Hugo Award for excellence in science fiction writing along with Brannon Braga. Moore and Braga also co-wrote two films featuring the Next Generation cast, Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: First Contact.
After Next Generation ended in 1994, Moore joined the writing staff of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as a supervising producer, a post which he held from that show's third to fifth season. In 1997, he was promoted to co-executive producer. He is credited as writer or co-writer of 30 episodes of DS9.
In 1999, after DS9 finished its run, Moore briefly joined the staff of Star Trek: Voyager. However, Moore became frustrated by the atmosphere in Voyager's writers' room, and his relationship with former writing parter Braga soured. Moore soon left Voyager to pursue other writing opportunities, including the series Roswell and Carnivàle and the updated version of Battlestar Galactica.
