Ahni Jetal

Ensign Ahni Jetal was a junior officer on the USS Voyager during its time in the Delta Quadrant. She was popular and well-liked among the crew; she was even friends with the senior staff. On her birthday, many of the senior officers organized a surprise party for her in the mess hall.

She was a shuttle pilot and was involved in modifying the shuttles on Voyager to increase their maneuverability, making them more "cool".

She was piloting a shuttle on an away mission with Harry Kim when they were attacked. The alien attack injured both her and Kim and forced the Doctor to choose to treat one of them; he picked Kim. Jetal died from a residual energy charge, which had implanted an energy pulse that resided in her neural membranes. The pulse moved up her spinal cord and into her brain, resulting in death by massive synaptic failure.

Her death later caused a contradiction in the EMH's programming, resulting in Captain Janeway erasing his memory of the event. When the memories resurfaced again, Janeway decided to let the Doctor deal with the memories and try to work them out for himself, a big step in holographic rights. (VOY: "Latent Image")

The Doctor's memories of stardate 50979 were altered. If this was the date of Ensign Jetal's death, she would have died somewhere between episodes Worst Case Scenario and Scorpion part I.

Jetal was played by Nancy Bell.
