""...extremists often have a logic all their own.""
– Tallera, 2370 ("Gambit, Part II")

An extremist, radical, fanatic, or zealot was someone who was extremely devoted to a cause, often but not exclusively to the point of committing criminal acts.

In 2154, Stel described Syrran, leader of the dissident Syrrannites, as having become a dangerous zealot over the past year. (ENT: "The Forge")

In 2259, Christopher Pike described the Shepherds as being "zealot-like". (SNW: "Children of the Comet")

In 2293, James T. Kirk compared his approach to a problem to that of Spock; ".You're a great one for logic. I'm a great one for rushing in where angels fear to tread. We're both extremists", acknowledging that, "Reality is probably somewhere in between us." (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
