Jeremy Aster in 2366
Jeremy Aster was the son of Marla Aster. He was born in 2354 and he had a pet cat on Earth called Patches.
In 2366, Jeremy and his mother were residing aboard the USS Enterprise-D, where Marla held the rank of lieutenant and served as an chief archaeologist. While on an away mission to study the homeworld of the Koinonians, his mother was killed by a remaining Koinonian bomb. Worf felt personally responsible for her death, since he was the leader of the away team. Jeremy blamed Worf and initially vented his rage that Worf was alive rather than his mother. Jeremy's father had died five years earlier from an infection.
The Koinonians, a race of non-corporeal beings, sensed Jeremy's pain and created a replica of his mother. This replica appeared on the Enterprise and attempted to take Jeremy back to live on the planet. When Worf discovered Lt. Aster's impostor, she vanished. She later reappeared and transformed Jeremy's room into his home on Earth. Jeremy became confused, and at first wanted to leave with the being, believing that it was his mother. Deanna Troi and Wesley Crusher, who had both lost their fathers when they were young, helped persuade Jeremy to remain on the ship. They convinced him that he had to accept the death of his mother, and she would never want him to leave the ship. Jeremy asked the replica to leave.
Worf later performed the R'uustai ceremony, making Jeremy a brother and member of his family forever. Jeremy left the Enterprise to live with his aunt and uncle on Earth. (TNG: "The Bonding")
