Connaught Rossa

Connaught Rossa is a 24th Century Starfleet admiral.

She was the mother of the late Lieutenant Commander Connor Rossa, mother-in-law of Moira Rossa and grandmother of Jeremiah Rossa. She lost both her sons in skirmishes, Connor Rossa and his wife were killed during the Galen border conflicts on Galen IV and her second son died during a battle at the Krasner outpost. She was still married in 2367 and considered herself part of a family that has fought for many generations to bring peace to the galaxy. Her grandson Jeremy was the last of that line.

In 2373, Commander Cortin Zweller was cleared of all charges of violating the Prime Directive and released on the order of Admiral Connaught Rossa, despite the objections of Admiral Marta Batanides and Captain Jean-Luc Picard. This led them to suspect the Admiral Rossa had something to do with the rogue agency Section 31.(TNG novel: Section 31: Rogue)
