Demora Sulu

Demora Sulu was a female human Starfleet officer serving in the late 23rd and early 24th centuries.

She was the daughter of USS Excelsior Captain Hikaru Sulu and is probably best known for her long tour of duty on the flagship USS Enterprise-B eventually leading to a command of that vessel in 2311.

Demora spent the first six years of her living with her mother, but when her mother died she was forced to live with her father, a man she had never met before. She hated him at first, and still didn't like him until she was able to let go of the first six years of her life. Demora also was a known wine enthusiast. (TLE novel: Serpents Among the Ruins)

Sulu served as the helmsman for the Enterprise during its disasterous maiden voyage in which Captain James T. Kirk was killed (Film: Star Trek: Generations). In 2301 she was promoted to Executive Officer. Sulu took part in an undercover mission to Devron II along with Captain John Harriman, Commander "Iron Mike" Paris, and four others. This mission ended in disaster when Paris was forced to give his life to save Sulu. (TLE novel: Serpents Among the Ruins)

In 2311, Demora was distrought over the loss of the USS Universe and while doing some research, discovered a discrepency in Starfleet Personnel files. "Iron Mike" Paris was listed as currently serving as Executive Officer of the USS Agamemnon despite the fact that she had seen him die years earlier. She brings this information to Admiral Los Tirasol Mentir who explains the true nature of the Universe trial to her and then decides to recruit her for the mission. Sulu was responsible for beaming John Harriman, Drysi Gravenor, and Elias Vaughn back to the USS Enterprise following the destruction of the romulan flagship Tomed.

Sulu was also close friends with Captain John Harriman and helped him cope with his father's death in 2311. She had visited Admiral John "Blackjack" Harriman earlier, urging him to make amends with his son. Harriman refused, stating that his son was weak, undisciplined, and ungrateful. Still, after his death, Demora told Harriman that his father said he loved him, telling a white lie to ease his suffering. (TLE novel: Serpents Among the Ruins)

Following the Tomed Incident, Demora Sulu was promoted to Captain of the Enterprise after John Harriman relinguished his command. (TLE novel: Serpents Among the Ruins)
