YAR, Tasha
(Star Trek: The Next Generation)
c/o The USS Enterprise-D
Somewhere in the Alpha Quadrant
Natasha "Tasha" Yar is the security chief stationed aboard the starship
Enterprise-D in the 24th century. Tasha’s character is reserved, quite athletic,
and an expert in self-defense [Aikido]. Ukrainian in descent, Tasha was born on
Planet Turkana IV on a failed Federation colony. After her parents were killed
(she was five) Tasha cared for her younger sister, Ishara. At the age of 15,
Tasha escaped the rape-gangs on Turkana IV and eventually joined Starfleet.
Captain Jean Luc Picard personally chose Tasha to be his security chief after
seeing Tasha in action as she rescued a wounded colonist from a minefield. Tasha
died in 2364 during a mission on planet Vagra II. Tasha’s sister, Ishara [born
2342] surfaced when the Enterprise-D visited planet Turkana IV in the year 2367.
Ishara was a loyal member of one of the planet’s rebel factions known as the
Coalition. Tasha Yar’s character was resurrected in an alternate time line where
Tasha did not die on planet Vagra II but rather was taken prisoner by a Romulans
and gave birth to a daughter named Sela [born in 2345] who was fathered by a
Romulan general. The grown Sela [a dead ringer for her mother, Tasha] was a
Romulan operative.
