4	'''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''.

6	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]]".

8	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.

10	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.
