In order to avoid further cultural contamination, Picard ordered Doctor Katherine Pulaski to erase Sarjenka's short-term memories of her interaction with the Federation. (TNG episode: "Pen Pals") By 2369, Drema IV had become a Federation protectorate, and Sarjenka was a medical apprentice to Healer Drankla. That year, a dilithium mining disaster struck Drema IV, during which Sarjenka assisted members of the Starfleet starships USS Progress and USS Trosper. She was reunited during this mission with Progress chief medical officer Katherine Pulaski, who, after observing Sarjenka in action during the rescue mission, sponsored the young woman's application to Starfleet Medical Academy. Data recalled Sarjenka in 2376 when he was affected by the Orb of Memory aboard the Cardassian vessel Kamal. (DS9 novel: Avatar, Book One) Sarjenka graduated with her medical degree in May of 2377, as well as a commission as a Lieutenant, junior grade. Upon graduation she was offered the position of deputy chief medical officer of the USS da Vinci, under Captain David Gold. (SCE eBook: Progress) She assisted Dr. Elizabeth Lense during her pregnancy, though Lense herself did not appreciate the help. (CoE eBooks: Turn the Page, Troubleshooting) Lense departed the da Vinci shortly before her pregnancy came to term, and Sarjenka took over as chief medical officer. (CoE eBooks: Ghost, Remembrance of Things Past, Book I) During a mission to Icaria Prime to treat a mysterious affliction among an archaeological team including Captain Picard, Sarjenka had her old hidden memories restored to her by an ancient Gretharan device. Though initially resentful of Picard for his callous treatment of her years earlier, she was able to put her feelings aside and to treat her patient to the best of her abilities.

- Sarjenka was a young Dreman female native to Drema IV. She lived with her parents and her brothers. She had been communicating with Lieutenant Commander Data through an RF transmitter for eight weeks in 2365. He became aware that her planet was tearing itself apart due to geological shifts caused by an unusually high concentration of dilithium lattices in the planet's crust. Initially, Captain Picard ordered Data to cease contact with Sarjenka to prevent any further violations of the Prime Directive. However, Data urged intervention and the captain eventually allowed the crew of the USS Enterprise-D to stop the geological shifts by destroying the crystals with modified probes. To lessen the contamination that the crew of the Enterprise-D had caused, Picard ordered Doctor Pulaski to erase Sarjenka's short-term memory. But in the process of returning her to Drema IV, Data left her with the Elanin singer stone she had seen in sickbay so that she could keep a small part of her experience with her. (TNG: "Pen Pals" ) Sarjenka was played by actress Nikki Cox. According to the script , Sarjenka was a child between ten and twelve years of age, placing her birth in the 2350s. Her description from the script: "Her skin has a luminous gold color; her eyebrows have a metallic quality as if gemstones and precious metals had been crushed and brushed across the hairs. From above each brow spring delicate antennae which curve back over the top of her head. The hair which hangs to her waist is of the same metallic multicolored strands as the brows. The quality is as if a dragonfly developed bipedally. Eyes can be faceted or not. She is coughing." In the Corps of Engineers eBook series, Drema IV was invaded by a species known as the Exiles, and then became a Federation protectorate after they cast out the invaders. The now-grown Sarjenka became the first Dreman in Starfleet, enrolling in Starfleet Medical Academy, and became deputy chief medical officer of the USS da Vinci, ultimately succeeding Elizabeth Lense as chief. She eventually regained her memory of the events of "Pen Pals".
