Melani D'ian

Melani D'ian was an Orion female in the late 24th century. It was believed that, when she came to power in 2387, D'ian was the first Orion in twenty years to have a major position in the Orion Syndicate.

In 2387, after one of her employees murdered the Orion Syndicate's head, Raimus, D'ian took over Raimus's operations. Starfleet Intelligence believed her to be in control of 30% of Orion Syndicate operations with her life at risk from other benefits.

2388 saw Melani D'ian start talks with the Klingon Empire and the Breen in order to deal with problems facing the Orions and their home star system.
