History

While at Starfleet Academy, Rand studied alongside Nyota Uhura, Hendorff and Chen. (TOS comic: "IDW Star Trek, Issue 13")

When the USS Enterprise encountered the Murasaki 312 nebula, Rand boarded the shuttlecraft Galileo to investigate. The nebula proved more unstable than anticipated however and the shuttle crashed on Taurus II with Rand assuring Spock that her injuries were superficial. After a scouting party resulted in Joseph Latimer's demise, the stranded crew was beset by Taurean anthropoids which they used their phasers to scare off. After they had wrapped Latimer's body, the stone age natives returned. When Montgomery Scott managed to jury rig the Galileo to fly, Rand assumed the helm but quickly noted the patch job was failing. As the crew volunteered over each other for who should jump out and let the others escape, Rand pointed out that Uhura had come to rescue them in a new shuttlecraft. (TOS - The Galileo Seven comics: "Part 1", "Part 2")

Some months later, she informed some of her friends that Chen had perished in a freak shuttle accident on Calder II and joined them in mourning. (TOS comic: "IDW Star Trek, Issue 13")
