Ziandra Yanari was a Federation Starfleet officer assigned to the USS Potemkin in the late 2290s. (Project Potemkin: "Duty Bound", "Darkness", "Ashes", "Beach Towel", "Unspoken", "The Chair", "The Hunt", "All in a Day's Work")
Ensign Yanari, an unjoined Trill, was initially assigned to the Potemkin as a yeoman in the Engineering Department. When the alpha-shift navigator, LeeAnn Feltman, was killed during an engagement with Orion vessels, she assumed the bridge navigation station and was able to plot an evasive course that allowed Potemkin to destroy the enemy ships.
While Captain Alec Grigory warned her that, if she ever touched a board for which she was not rated, he would "warp her ass back to Trill," he also said he would speak to the ship's records officer. Yanari would take twice-weekly navigation courses, and would have to be rated as proficient within four weeks. ("Duty Bound")
Yanari was part of a landing party caught in what may have been a Slaver Empire-era stasis field ("Darkness"), as well as a landing party on the ill-fated planet of Delta-1 Gruis III. ("Ashes")
Before Potemkin[]
Yanari had nearly failed all of her higher-level courses at Starfleet Academy due to personal issues and familial conflicts. However, she was qualified to enroll in the Yeoman Program.
- Yanari stopped short of telling Grigory that her mother had wanted her to be joined to a symbiont, and said instead that her mother wanted her to be married.
She and Cinco Ramirez, a veteran Kelvan War fighter pilot -- and the former chief helm officer of the Potemkin -- were acquaintances, which is how she learned how to helm and navigate a starship. ("Duty Bound")
