Kestra

Kestra was a female Human/Inarian who joined the Valiant after Lt. Lillian Crusher was assigned to the ship as the newest Chief Medical Officer. For over three years she became a valuable member of the crew; she served as a field medic for Crusher and was in charge of the airponics bay. She eventually left Valiant in order to attend High-Guard Medical Academy. She is best friends with Lillian Crusher and Tina Campanelli and is good friends with Karen Ferris, Ethan Morgan, Lucas Parton, and Tim Walters. She is currently in a relationship with Riley Shepard. She was portrayed by Samantha Munro.

History
Kestra was born on Inari before Resurrection: Valiant.

Aboard Valiant

During her time with the Ogla, 17-year-old Kestra met the Talaxian Neelix and the two fell in love. Neelix promised to rescue her. He managed this with the aid of Captain Walters'  Valiant  and the crew that had been transported to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker's Array. In return, Kes agreed to help them retrieve crewmembers that had been sent to the Ocampa city for care, after the experiments the Caretaker had done on them.
