Revati Jendra

Revati Jendra was a female human physician in Starfleet in the 23rd century.

In 2248, she became friends with fellow doctor Leonard McCoy.

In 2265, she was assigned as a medical officer of the cultural observation team sent to planet NGC 667 to study the Grennai. Less than a year later, the mission was abandoned, in part due to the danger posed by atmospheric radiation to the non-native beings, and also because of Prime Directive violations by fellow team members.

She was briefly engaged in research project on Earth, but a short time afterwards, she resigned Starfleet, and secretly returned to NGC 667, to become a "beloren" (healer) to the Grennai. Starfleet sent the USS Enterprise, where her old friend McCoy served as chief medical officer, to return her to Earth. Instead, Captain Kirk helped to fake Jendra's death, allowing her to continue her work with the Grennai. (TOS short story: "First, Do No Harm")
