Jasminder Choudhury

Jasminder Choudhury was a female human in Starfleet in the 24th century, born circa 2340 on planet Deneva. She was of South Asian descent, and practiced meditation in the Hindu tradition, although she also honored other faiths, including Buddhism and Islam.

During the Dominion War, Choudhury served aboard the USS Timur. Her chief of security was killed in action during the First Battle of Chin'toka. The ship lost use of all its torpedo tubes and most of its phasers and shields, but Choudhury's inventive tactics saved the Timur.

Following the war, Choudhury served as chief of security on Starbase 103, under Admiral Marien Zimbata. A diplomatic conference was held on the starbase in 2379, which was attacked by a dissident faction of the Nosgoh. Choudhury, while negotiating for the lives of the Nosgoh's hostages, discovered the cultural misunderstanding which led to the incident, ending it without loss of life.

In mid 2380, Lieutenant Choudhury transferred to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E), succeeding Lieutenant Zelik Leybenzon. During that ship's mission to star cluster NGC 6281, she aided Lieutenant T'Ryssa Chen in making contact with the "Noh Angel" entities inhabiting the region.
