Uhura (Nichelle Nichols)
Communications officer aboard the Starship Enterprise under the command of
James T. Kirk ("The Corbomite Maneuver" TOS). Born in 2239, her name derived
from the Swahili word for "Freedom" ("Is There No Truth In Beauty" TOS).
A highly skilled technician, Uhura was also a talented musician, and enjoyed
serenading her fellow crew members with song ("Charlie X" TOS, "The Conscience
of the King" TOS, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier). Her memory was wiped
clean in 2267 by the errant space probe Nomad, requiring her to be re-educated
("The Changeling" TOS).
Uhura's first appearance was in "The Corbomite Maneuver" (TOS).
