For the mirror universe counterpart, see Ilia (mirror).

Ilia was a Deltan woman, a Starfleet officer who lived during the 23rd century.

Biography[]

Ilia was born on Delta IV in 2245. Her interests included yoga, swimming, and Deltan philosophy. (ST video game: Starship Creator)

She had substantial human contact at an early age due to her father's activities as an historian who enjoyed comparing Deltan and Earth civilizations. She came to find space exploration romantic and heroic, contrary to most other Deltans, and resolved to join Starfleet. (TOS reference: The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

While attending the Delta IV extension campus of Starfleet Academy, she earned fifth-level piloting certifications and premier distinctions in the fields of stellar cartography, navigation, and geology. In 2269, she earned a doctorate in advanced starship propulsion systems. (ST video game: Starship Creator)

Ilia met and became involved in a romantic relationship with Willard Decker during his posting to the Federation embassy on Delta IV in the 2260s. (TOS - Star Trek: Explorer short story: "Explorers of the Storm", FASA RPG module: Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update)

The relationship came to an end when Decker departed Delta IV without saying goodbye. (TOS movie: Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

With the rank of lieutenant, Ilia served as navigator aboard the newly refitted USS Enterprise under Rear Admiral James T. Kirk. In 2273, Ilia was absorbed by V'Ger and listed as missing in action. (TOS movie, novelization & comic adaptation: Star Trek: The Motion Picture; TOS comics: "The Motion Picture", "V'Ger", "Evolutions")

Ilia re-materialised 137 years later, in 2410, apparently having been uplifted with advanced cybernetic augmentation of a kind barely understood by Federation science of the time, but unconscious and in need of medical attention. She was being sought by the Terran Empire of the Mirror Universe, described as "the Emperor's prize". (STO - Terran Gambit mission: "Red Shift")

Alternate events[]

In the Star Trek: Phase II continuity, Ilia survived her encounter with V'Ger and continued to serve aboard the Enterprise in an alternate version of the events of Captain Kirk's second five-year mission. (Phase II episode: "In Thy Image", TOS - Waypoint comic: "The Fear")

During this period, in addition to being the ship's navigator, she also served as a counselor, using Deltan techniques to help James T. Kirk deal with his permanent separation from Elsa Kelly. (Phase II episode: "Tomorrow and the Stars")

Ilia occasionally also served as a backup science officer. (Phase II episodes: "Lord Bobby's Obsession", "To Attain the All")
