Born and raised in Chowchilla, UsefulNotes/{{California}}, Moore majored in political science, initially on a Navy ROTC scholarship at Cornell, but dropped out due to losing interest in his studies. While working odd jobs in the late '80s he toured the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' set during the filming of "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS2E13TimeSquared Time Squared]]" and got the chance to pitch a script to one of Creator/GeneRoddenberry's assistants. Executive producer Creator/MichaelPiller bought the script and hired him; the script ultimately became season three's "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E5TheBonding The Bonding]]".

* WagTheDirector: Ron Moore clashed frequently with Creator/GeneRoddenberry over shifting the portrayal of Starfleet over to more of a PragmaticHero model from Gene's preferred IdealHero. He made particular note of scripts discussing Starfleet Intelligence, to which Roddenberry would reportedly respond, "the good guys don't go sneaking around!" He eventually managed to sneak it in so many times that they gave up trying to stop him.
* WordOfGod: He was very active on AOL boards and Website/{{Usenet}} groups in TheNineties and frequently commented on his views of events in ''Franchise/StarTrek'', for example that he envisioned the Federation having a 30,000 ship fleet at the time of the Dominion War. The ''Star Trek'' wiki Memory Alpha has many of these statements archived.

'''Ronald Dowl Moore''' (b. 5 July 1964) is an award-winning American screenwriter and TV producer, best known for his work in SpeculativeFiction, especially on ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' and ''Series/DeepSpaceNine''.

Born and raised in Chowchilla, UsefulNotes/{{California}}, Moore majored in political science, initially on a Navy ROTC scholarship at Cornell, but dropped out due to losing interest in his studies. While working odd jobs in the late '80s he toured the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' set during the filming of "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS2E13TimeSquared Time Squared]]" and got the chance to pitch a script to one of Creator/GeneRoddenberry's assistants. Executive producer Creator/MichaelPiller bought the script and hired him; the script ultimately became season three's "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E5TheBonding The Bonding]]".

Ron Moore's profile in ''Star Trek'' grew over time and he eventually became a co-executive producer on ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''. After the wrap, however, he moved over to ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', helmed by his friend from TNG Creator/BrannonBraga, only to quit three weeks later, penning just two scripts. He later said that the inciting incident was him asking for advice writing B'Elanna Torres and getting a response along the lines of "We don't care, do what you want," confirming his suspicion that the creative team had stopped caring about the show and were just there to draw a paycheck.

After leaving ''Voyager'', Moore set out to create a MilitaryScienceFiction show very much in opposition to what VOY portrayed, which became ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003''. Due to a combination of ExecutiveMeddling in the later seasons and admitted WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants by Moore, results were somewhat mixed.

Ron Moore and fellow [=DS9=] alum Creator/IraStevenBehr are currently (2014-) co-heading production of ''Series/{{Outlander}}'' for Creator/{{Starz}}. He also has an original science fiction streaming series, ''Series/ForAllMankind'' (distributed by Creator/AppleTVPlus).
