Background[]
Many canon starships have a chief science officer with the rank of lieutenant or lieutenant commander serving under a captain, but since some smaller vessels are shown to be commanded normally by lieutenant commanders and commanders, their science officers could be of a lower grade, meaning that this character might sometimes be portrayed at those ranks. In cases where large capital vessels and flagships are employed, it is also plausible that the chief science officer could be a full commander or, in rare cases, a higher grade serving under a commodore or admiral. For this reason, no definitive rank insignia is associated with this character for the purposes of this wiki.
No history or fate is established for this character in licensed Star Trek, in which the name was randomly assigned by the SFC game software. Given the theme of the game material, this could have been meant to be a Vulcan character. There is also a possibility this is the prime universe counterpart of the mirror universe T'Val, which would present the supposition this T'Val is one-quarter Romulan, one-quarter Human, the daughter of Spock and Saavik.
Since the NPC (non-player character) lists used for the game software were re-used from the 23rd century Starfleet Command game series, there is also a 23rd century character bearing the same name. Discounting the speculation this is a young woman descended from Spock and Saavik, there is a possibility it is the same person as the 23rd century T'Val, who somehow either aged gracefully or was spared from aging by stasis or time travel.
