Changes: Talas

Revision as of 02:13, 18 February 2009

Template:Sidebar character Lieutenant Talas was a female Andorian in the service of the Andorian Imperial Guard during the 2150s.

Talas acted as tactical officer aboard the Imperial warship Kumari, under Andorian Commander Shran, until her death in 2154.

Descended from an independently-wealthy family, Talas chose a life of military service out of a sense of duty and military tradition. Her mother had a higher security clearance than her, commanding an Imperial infantry unit. The last four generations of her family joined the Imperial Guard. (ENT: "Proving Ground")

During the year 2153, Talas was aboard the Kumari when it was sent to track the Earth Starfleet vessel Enterprise inside the region then known as the Delphic Expanse. As part of that mission, Talas worked closely with her Enterprise counterpart, armory officer Lieutenant Malcolm Reed, both to aid in the on-going repairs being made to that ship and to secretly further the Andorian Imperial Guard's agenda to obtain a prototype Xindi weapon. (ENT: "Proving Ground")

In 2154, Talas initiated a romantic relationship with her superior officer, Shran. The relationship was still a recent development in November of that year, when the Kumari was destroyed by a Romulan vessel disguised as a Tellarite cruiser. Talas, Shran, and 18 other crew members were rescued by Enterprise, coincidentally ferrying Tellarite Ambassador Gral and his party to the planet Babel. Despite being confined to quarters, Shran and Talas managed to confront the Tellarites and, in an ensuing scuffle, Talas was fatally wounded when the Tellarite Naarg fired a MACO phase pistol at point blank range. She later died of phase pulse infection in the Enterprise sickbay. (ENT: "Babel One")

As she lay dying, Talas asked Shran to avenge her. Shran challenged her killer to the Ushaan, a ritualistic fight to the death. However, Captain Archer substituted himself in Naarg's place to avoid destroying the uneasy Andorian, Human, and Tellarite alliance. (ENT: "United")

As depicted in the episode "These Are the Voyages...", Shran went on to have a daughter with the Aenar Jhamel, whom he named Talla, possibly after his former love.
