Nyota Uhura

Uhura was born in the year 2230 and served on the USS Enterprise as a Communications Officer under the command of James T. Kirk for nearly thirty years.  Lieutenant Uhura was part of a five year mission and proved herself to be a proficient technician skilled at Intergalactic Communication.  She was also considered by Captain Kirk to be a capable and reliable Bridge Officer.  Lieutenant Uhura was skilled in manning the helm, navigation and the main science station when the need arose.

Lieutenant Uhura had one major fear even though she showed no fear in many negotiations that were very fearful.  Her fear was that one day she would be a disfigured, diseased, dying old woman.  On star date 5029.5, the Starnes Exploration Party children under the influence of a man used their telekinetic powers to terrorize the whole bridge crew by creating fear.  Uhura could not perform her duties as Communications Officer when she felt she was a disfigured old woman.  The telepathic influence was stopped when the children were not influenced any more by this man.

In the 2270s, Uhura was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander aboard the Enterprise.  She served under Willard Decker until the V’Ger Crisis when Admiral Kirk took over command of the Enterprise again.  In 2285, Uhura was promoted to Commander and assigned to Starfleet Command Communications at the Starfleet Academy while the Enterprise was reassigned to cadet training.  She even lectured at the Academy.

Uhura went to the Camp Khitomer Crisis in 2293 to help with the peace talks between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, serving as the Communications Officer.  By the end of the year, she left and finished her career by teaching at Starfeet Academy.
