Apryl Burch

Apryl Burch was a Human woman who served in Starfleet in the late 23rd century as a security guard.

Burch kept her red hair short in a no-nonsense style. She tended to appear in a constant state of alert and had a sturdy figure.

History
In spring of 2273, she was assigned to protect Rear Admiral James T. Kirk in 2273 during a clandestine trip to Neural along with Giancarlo Rowland and fellow security guard Titus Hay. The four traveled to Neural together aboard the civilian transport ship Captain Cook.

Burch fought back tears when Hay was killed. The next morning, she joined a search party for a missing Freeholder named. During the search, a Mugato attacked the front of the group. Another appeared from behind, targeting Yutan. Burch jumped between them, and the Mugato shredded Burch's back and nearly tore her head off, killing her. After the battle, Kirk and Rowland covered her with stones, as she was too battered to move and bury. Her body was later retrieved by the USS Potemkin (NCC-1657) to return to Earth.
