Tazna Jade was a 24th century Ethanian StarScout officer, most noted for her service as First in Command of the Confederate Scout Ship StarRunner. She was the first citizen of the Confederation of Species to make contact with Starfleet in 2374 when she and her ship encountered the USS Voyager as it ventured into the Beta Quadrant. She is known for being highly manipulative and usually has her own agenda besides her duty as a StarScout. She was also one of the main driving forces in the Elthanian StarScouts Uprising that nearly destabilized the Confederation in 2380.
