Sekhmet

Sekhmet was a mythological Egyptian lion-goddess of the sun, a warrior, and daughter of Ra. She was a representation of the cycle of the giving and taking of life and of the heat of the desert sun. She was also an Out-worlder.

Sekhmet was ten feet tall, with the head of a lioness and the body of a baboon. She had a dominating personality, strong predatory urges, was fierce, had a full set of teeth and breath that stunk of carrion. Between her ears was the head of an asp, and above the top of her head was a large, round, glowing disk.

History
In 2366, Deanna Troi encountered a being she believed was this goddess during several trance-like periods, following exposure to a virtual reality movie made by cultural anthropologists Oleph and. The virtual reality triggered an autonomic temporary amnesia, but along with personal doubts combined to produce the trances. In the initial trances, she met, an Other-worlder who guided Troi through a desert toward mountains and helped her evade the pursuit of Sekhmet.

Later, Troi had a waking dream in which Sekhmet led an assault by Other-worlders on CephCom, the headquarters of Cephalic Security in the city of on the planet Rampart.
