Commander Dietra K. Glover was a Starfleet officer with a long service record aboard many different ships before she was lost in space, and presumed dead, on the ill-fated USS Tombaugh in 2362. She was born Dietra Khumalo, in 2305, at the Norkan colony, a non-aligned world settled by humans who wished to practice genetic experimentation unmolested by Federation law. Unfortunately the colony was near the Romulan Star Empire, and the Romulan government feared that the Norkan outpost was actually a staging area for a Starfleet bio-weapon.
