Nilani Kahn was a joined Trill female in the 23rd century.

She was a quantum warp scientist who was part of the team at the Daystrom Institute that developed the transwarp project, and oversaw initial Starfleet tests of the technology.

She met Torias at the Symbiosis Institute on Trill, where both were initiates. They married shortly after Torias was joined with the Dax symbiont. She was widowed six months later, when Torias was killed in a shuttlecraft accident. (DS9 short story: "Infinity")
