Kaitaama was a princess from Krios Prime, who was, in 2152, due to become First Monarch of the Sovereign Dynasty of that world. Shortly before her inauguration, she was kidnapped by two Retellians named Plinn and Goff, who secured her in a stasis pod. When their ship malfunctioned, they contacted Enterprise NX-01 and asked for help. Initially, they told Captain Jonathan Archer that they were transporting a royal person and that she was in stasis because of the long trip. When Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker was repairing the pod, he noticed that Kaitaama's hands were bound and that she was a prisoner. It took a few seconds for him to put her language into the universal translator. He was able to rescue her and they used a Retellian escape pod to land on the nearest planet.
