Anij was one of the leading members of the Ba'ku who worked closely with the crew of the USS Enterprise-E when their planet was threatened, in 2375, by the Son'a. Anij and Captain Jean-Luc Picard openly expressed a mutual interest in each other. During her time with Picard, Anij demonstrated the ability to slow down time for both of them when engaged together in a moment of deep, personal connection. Before leaving the planet, Picard told Anij that he had 318 days of shore leave coming, and he intended to use them. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
