Livilla Darly, Ph.D., was a female Human archaeologist in the 24th century. As early as the 2350s, she worked with Dr. Jennifer Almieri, and in the 2360s, was part of her dig on the planet Drura Sextus. At some point prior to 2377, the Drura Sextus team encountered a small group of genetically engineered shapeshifters, and following that encounter, Darly was taken captive and subjected to medical experimentation, in an effort to rediscover how the shapeshifters had originally been created.
