She's the most enthusiastic crewmember on board the USS Cerritos but science officer Lieutenant D'Vana Tendi grew up in a very different environment to the Federation. She hails from the fifth biggest pirate clan in the Orion Syndicate, and — after the events of the "Lower Decks" season 4 finale — she's reluctantly returned to the family business.
In season 5 premiere "Dos Cerritos" — as her crewmates' find themselves trapped in a parallel universe a mere 0.327% different to their own — Tendi leads a salvage mission that could earn her passage home. In follow-up "Shades of Green", she's plunged into the heart of the Orion turf war she inadvertently started by being a little too, well, Starfleet.
