Lydia Gottlieb

Lydia Gottlieb was a Human woman. She served in Starfleet as a security officer aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in the 2270s.

History
As a young ensign, her first mission was in 2277 as part of a landing party along with Rear Admiral James T. Kirk on the surface of Varda III. Concerned that an unusual group of floating balls of light might be radioactive, she relaxed when her tricorder showed them instead to be an energy source. She accidentally brushed her hand against some proto-plastic gel in a storage room, part of an alien hospital, and the gel reformed temporarily into a duplicate of her.
