Chitirih Ra-Dreii was a male Deltan serving in the Federation Starfleet in the 2280s decade.
Biography[]
By 2286, Ra-Dreii was serving as the science officer of USS Saratoga during the Cetacean Probe crisis of that year. He was analysing the probe's call and the impact on the starship's systems as they approached the object while they were patrolling the Terran system. When the main power failed, he reported it to the captain as the Saratoga went adrift. However, he and his commander, Captain Margaret Sinclair-Alexander survived this encounter. (TOS movie & novelization: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

Background[]
- The Voyage Home novelization made it clear that the name Chitirih Ra-Dreii belonged to the ship's science officer who was described as a Deltan in the novel, but had a full head of hair in the movie. However, due to confusion with the Efrosian helmsman, the Deltan naming conventions eventually began to be applied to the Efrosian species.
- According to the novelization, male Deltans are able to grow hair.
