Natasha Yar

Lieutenant Natasha Yar, was called Tasha by the crew of the Enterprise.  She was a Human Starfleet Officer and Security Chief on the USS Enterprise-D.  Unfortunately, she was killed not even a year into the Enterprise’s mission.  She was remembered by the Enterprise crew and held deeply close to their hearts.

Tasha’s short life was filled with tragedies.   She was an orphan as her parents died when she was very young.  She lived on a devastating planet.  It was no surprise that she decided one day to leave her home forever and enter the Starfleet Academy. 

During training as a cadet, she went on a rescue mission and rescued a colonist.  This was noticed by Captain Picard and he was so impressed with her bravery that he decided to recruit her for duty on the Enterprise while she was still a cadet.  Tasha had the honour of piloting Captain Picard to the Enterprise in a shuttle craft for his first time stepping foot on the ship.  She was an excellent Security Chief and impressed many cultures by being a female Security Chief.  Tasha was kidnapped one time because of her beauty and martial art skills.  She eventually returned to the Enterprise and was reunited with her crew.


Tasha was killed in 2364 on the planet Vagra Two.  She was part of a faraway mission to rescue Deanna Troi and Ben Prieto who had crashed into a shuttle.  The crash survivor could not be rescued because of a life form on the planet known as the Armus.  When Tasha tried to walk around the Armus she was attacked and killed without any warning or cause because the Armus simply wanted to show his power.  Tragic as her life was, she will always be remembered in the hearts of the Enterprise crew.
