Edam Astrun

Starfleet cadet Edam Astrun was a male Betazoid who entered Starfleet Academy mid-term in 2372.

Edam, born to Florn Astrun and Styalla Astrun on the planet Betazed with the highest psi-q in his planet's recorded history, and frequently had to take the medicine somalin to dull his telepathic senses.

Starfleet Academy
Edam joined Starfleet Academy in mid-2372 as a part of a Starfleet plan to help root out Changeling infiltrators. He was assigned to Omega Squad under the command of Commander Kyethn Zund of the planet Trill. Astrun telepathically absorbed the lessons he had missed and shortly caught up with the rest of his class.

An attempt on Astrun's life was made shortly after his arrival by a Changeling who had infiltrated the Academy. The shape-shifter had assumed the form of Astrun's squad-mate Nog in an attempt to divert suspicion from itself. However, Astrun was able to send Nog a telepathic warning about his attackers true identity, and soon after recovering from his wounds helped Omega defeat to the Changeling. As Astrun probed the Changeling's mind, Astrun began to see the details of a complex Dominion plot against the Federation, but the Changeling took his own life before allowing Astrun to make sense of what he saw.
