Talia Kandel

Lieutenant Talia Kandel was a female Deltan Starfleet officer serving in the late 24th century.

By 2381, Kandel had been assigned to the USS Aventine as a relief tactical officer. During the Borg Invasion of 2381, Kandel was on duty when the Aventine answered the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E) distress call in the Azure Nebula, and became responsible for the targeting of the transphasic torpedoes.

Later, after the Aventine and Enterprise traversed a subspace tunnel to end up in the Carina Arm near the median of the Gamma and Delta Quadrants, a pack of Hirogen hunting vessels attacked and boarded the two Starfleet craft. Chief Tactical Officer Lonnoc Kedair left the Bridge to fight the boarders, leaving Kandel in charge. After repelling the Hirogen, Kandel was still on duty when the Enterprise fired transphasic torpedoes to disrupt the plasma steam in the binary star pair to allow the ships to reach the tunnel and return back to the nebula.
