Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart was a female Human on 20th century Earth, famed as an aviation pioneer. She mysteriously disappeared in 1937, along with her navigator, Fred Noonan, during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. Unknown at the time, Earhart and Noonan were abducted by the Briori and transported to the Delta Quadrant. 

The question of Earhart's fate remained a popular subject of speculation in Human culture for centuries to follow, comparable to the disappearance of the Terra Nova colony. 

In 2371, the USS Voyager picked up an SOS call from Earhart's plane, and discovered her, Noonan and the six other 20th century Humans held in stasis. After being revived woken up, Earhart and her fellow abductees declined Captain Kathryn Janeway's offer to stay aboard her ship, opting to join the Earth-like civilization that had been established on their planet. 

Starbase Earhart was named for Amelia Earhart.
