Biography[]
In the year 2376, Ensign Ling served aboard starbase Deep Space 9. During the Gateways crisis, she was assigned to the runabout, USS Euphrates with Colonel Kira Nerys, but was replaced by the Jem'Hadar observer Taran'atar at the last minute. Instead, she remained on the station, serving in ops under the command of Lieutenant Ezri Dax. Ling noticed that while talking to Vedek Eran Dal, Dax's voice changed-getting deeper and scratchier-as she unwittingly tapped into Curzon Dax's experience as an ambassador. (DS9 - Gateways novel: Demons of Air and Darkness)
Ling was killed during the Destruction of Deep Space 9 in 2383. (ST - The Fall novel: Revelation and Dust)
