Florence Nightingale (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910) was a British social reformer and the founder of nursing on Earth who lived during the 19th and 20th centuries. She was best known for administering to wounded soldiers during the Crimean War from 1853 to 1856.
Nightingale was studied by the 23rd century historian Alexander Lazarus, who created an android, with the psi-clone, and imbued it with Nightingale's personality and history. This android, like other androids of Lazarus, created a city on Gamma Alpha V. She was likely destroyed in the explosion of Gamma Alpha V on Stardate 10:26.3. (TOS comic: "The Legacy of Lazarus")
