Serena Christian

Lieutenant Serena Victoria Christian was a 23rd century female Human Starfleet officer who served as chief engineer of the USS Enterprise in 2254.

Christian was born in Adamstown, on Pitcairn Island on Earth. She was a direct descendant of HMS Bounty mutineer Fletcher Christian, as with all inhabitants of Pitcairn Island. She grew up in relative poverty for Earth standards. Her father died in a shuttle accident when she was six years old.

She entered Starfleet Academy in 2245, following the Four Years' War. She graduated in 2249 and was assigned to the Security division aboard the Enterprise. She rose to be chief of security by 2254. She also formed a close friendship with Captain Christopher Pike during her time aboard the Enterprise.

Christian lost her right leg at some point during her service and got it replaced by a prosthetic. She also was badly injured during the 2254 mission to Talos IV.
