Biography[]

Tasha Yar (mirror)

Tasha Yar aboard the ISS Stargazer

The Natasha Yar of the primary universe was born in the year 2337. (TNG episode: "Legacy")

In the 2360s, Yar held the rank of lieutenant and served as security chief aboard the ageing Imperial starship ISS Stargazer under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Picard determined that her ambition needed to be curbed but he found her security staff formidable. He assigned Lieutenant Reginald Barclay from engineering to assist Yar while Stargazer, short of its first officer, escorted Vulcan slave ships from Venus to Titan inside the Sol star system.

When Barclay arrived at Tactical on the bridge, Yar caught him off guard when she greeted him with a punch in the chest. Soon after, the Vulcans rose up and attempted to seize control over two of the ships. Yar quickly accessed the Constellation-class ship's weapons and destroyed the pair of slave ships, ending the uprising and teaching the remaining Vulcans a lesson. Both Picard and Barclay considered her rash action a waste of Imperial resources. Picard arranged an awards ceremony in the shuttlebay and pinned a medal in recognition of quick and brutal action on Yar's chest. Picard told her to wear it with pride. Picard dismissed the crew and he and Yar went their separate ways in the corridor. Barclay used this opportunity to stab Yar in the back with a dagger. She fell to the floor and called Barclay a coward. Picard turned around the corner with guards and offered Barclay the position of security chief, which the Terran accepted with a bloody handshake.

Alternate timelines[]

First splinter timeline[]

In the First Splinter[1] mirror universe timeline, Natasha "Tasha" Yar (2337-2375) was a Terran female who served as an operative for Memory Omega during the late 24th century. She was trained by an elderly Vulcan woman named T'Lara.

In 2372, she was sent to the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance mining colony Korvat to deliver a message to Keiko Ishikawa, another Memory Omega agent who had become a slave overseer in 2365. Yar became a slave and was given the designation "701-Delta". Shortly after her arrival on Korvat, she made contact with Keiko and pretended to grant sexual favors in case they were being monitored while she delivered her message. The message, contained in a tattoo on one of Yar's legs, was written in Japanese calligraphy: "Our efforts proceed apace. Rebellion growing in Bajor sector. Proceed with training and liberation. Destination: Terok Nor."

Yar and Keiko began training dozens of slaves, including Tiron and Sam Bowers, in combat tactics in preparation. In 2375, after three years of meticulous planning, the two Memory Omega operatives staged a slave revolt in the Korvat mines. Approximately 200 slaves managed to reach the transport bay where Keiko and Yar each piloted one transport, each containing about half of their complement. Although the transports were both able to reach orbit and set course for the Badlands, they came under attack from a Klingon battle cruiser. As the starboard impulse engine of Yar's transport went offline and began leaking plasma, she provided a distraction which allowed Keiko's transport to escape to Terok Nor before her ship was destroyed by the Klingons.
