Changes: Rachel Garrett

Revision as of 18:37, 13 February 2007

Rachel Garrett in 2344.

Rachel Garrett was a Starfleet officer serving in the early 24th century. In 2344, Garrett was captain of the starship USS Enterprise-C. In that year, the Enterprise responded to a distress call from the Klingon outpost on Narendra III, which was under attack by Romulan forces. Captain Garrett was presumed killed during the attack, along with most of her crew.

During the battle, the Enterprise-C was brought forward in time to 2366 by the formation of a temporal rift. Suffering from severe internal injuries, Garrett was beamed aboard the USS Enterprise-D. Once recovered, Garrett was prepared to remain in that timeframe, to assist the Federation in their war with the Klingon Empire. Captain Jean-Luc Picard was able to convince her to take the Enterprise back to the battle to restore the correct timeline. However, before the vessel could return, Captain Garrett was killed when a Klingon plasma torpedo deployed by a Klingon Bird-of-Prey hit the bridge, sending her flying into a piece of equipment and killing her. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise")

Rachel Garrett was played by actress Tricia O'Neil. In an early draft of the script, the captain was named Richard Garrett. As of 2007, Capt. Garrett is the only canonically known female captain of a USS Enterprise.
