Fletcher was a Human woman. She served in Starfleet in the operations division as a relief communications officer aboard the Federation starship USS Enterprise in the 2270s.

History

In 2273, Fletcher took over for Nyota Uhura after she started ripping apart the communications station while under the influence of The Unity. While a security officer restrained Uhura, Fletcher restored contact with Captain James T. Kirk, who was with a landing party in caverns on the planetoid Mycena. (TOS comic: "Experiment in Vengeance!")

In the year 2274, Fletcher manned the communications station on the bridge while Uhura went on a landing party to the surface of Zeta Reticuli II.

Trapped on the bridge

Fletcher hailed Captain Kirk at Spock's request, but Kirk's personality had been subsumed by Menteptah II, who coldly ordered her to stay off that frequency and that Spock would be called at a later time. Fletcher followed up by trying unsuccessfully to hail the rest of the landing party, until Leonard McCoy answered Ralston's communicator, which prompted Spock to beam down. After dealing with Spock, Khnum fired a weapon at the Enterprise which began shrinking the starship but not the crew. Montgomery Scott, Fletcher and a Saurian officer became stranded as the shrinking bridge threatened to crush them. (TOS comic: "We Are Dying, Egypt, Dying!")

Later in 2274, Fletcher was seen manning both the science station and the engineering console while Scott was in command. She reported having found life forms ten kilometers below ground on Valerian. (TOS comic: "There's No Space Like Gnomes'!")
