Yeoman Mears was a female Human Starfleet enlisted crewman who lived during the mid-23rd century. She served in the operations division aboard the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk, during his historic five-year mission. In 2267, she recorded an away mission aboard the shuttlecraft Galileo while it collected data on the Murasaki Effect. Mears survived the shuttle crash landing on the planet Taurus II, only receiving "a bump on the head." (TOS: "The Galileo Seven" )
