Miranda Kadohata

Miranda Kadohata was a Human female of Japanese and European descent who served in Starfleet in the 24th century.

Kadohata was born on Cestus III, but spoke with an English accent. She had at least one sister, Olwyn Kadohata.

Early Career
She attended Starfleet Academy sometime in the late 2350s or early 2360s. By 2363, Kadohata was billeted aboard the USS Firenze as a Lieutenant, junior grade, where she was romantically involved with the ship's flight controller, Lieutenant, junior grade Ricardo Torres.

The couple both transferred to the newly commissioned USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) in 2364, under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Kadohata was assigned to the sensor room, where she worked under the direct supervision of the ship's operations manager and second officer, Lieutenant Commander Data. Her relationship with Torres ended shortly after the ship's inaugural mission to Deneb IV, during which Torres was badly shaken by encounter with the semi-omnipotent being known as Q. A number of other shipboard relationships followed for Kadohata, but all were short and ended badly.

Kadohata met her future husband, Vicenzo Farrenga, at a baseball game on her home world, between the Port Shangri-La Seagulls, for whom Kadohata's sister played shortstop, and the Palombo Sehlats, whose general manager was Farrenga's father. They eventually married, and had a daughter, Aoki Farrenga, in 2374.

Later Career
After the destruction of the Enterprise in 2371, Kadohata was eventually billeted aboard its replacement, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E), again under the direct supervision of Lieutenant Commander Data and the ultimate command of Captain Picard. She served as relief operations manager when Data temporarily commanded the Enterprise during a mission to rescue Captains Picard and Benjamin Sisko on planet B'Leva.

When Data was offered promotion to first officer of the Enterprise in 2379, he selected Kadohata as his successor as operations manager and second officer. She accepted, but took a leave of absence before assuming the position, to give birth two a pair of twins, Colin and Sylvana. She returned to the Enterprise in early 2380 and assumed her new duties.

The Borg Crises
During the Borg incursion later that year, Lieutenant Commander Kadohata felt compelled to lead a mutiny aboard the Enterprise in response to willful disobedience to orders on the part of Captain Picard and several other members of the Enterprise's senior staff. Though she briefly assumed command, Kadohata quickly deferred to Picard's judgment when the Enterprise came under Borg attack.

Following the battle, she declined to transfer from the ship as another member of the mutiny, Counselor T'Lana, did, and instead accepted Captain Picard's offer to remain aboard. Shortly thereafter, she was promoted to full commander, presumably on Picard's recommendation.

During the Borg crisis of early 2381, she sent a message to her husband and children on Cestus, urging them to leave Federation space out of concern that Starfleet's efforts to stop the Borg invasion would fail.
