Emily North

Emily North was the daughter of Reese and Luan Cingly of Betazed. They both died in a shuttle collision before Emily was born. She was saved by a starfleet doctor, Gregory North, who later adopted her. She attended several tactical classes before deciding to join Starfleet in the tactical/security track. She graduated third in her class.

She was attached to the diplomatic corp after becoming a lieutenant in Starfleet security. She was on Dacoral when civil war broke out and rescued James Guildford from a rebel ambush. They immediately became close friends, and eventually lovers. James asked Emily to marry him three times before she said yes. When James was captured by the Dacoralian Rebels, Emily took a Starfleet volunteer force out to rescue him. She was later captured by the rebels during a retalitory strike.

Even though Ambassador Richards was able to negotiate the release of the hostages, Emily refused to leave his side. Eventually her part in the rescue of her husband was discovered and Emily was tortured, beaten, burned alive, hacked into pieces and delivered back to her husband as a warning to any other Starfleet officers who were thinking of entering the war.
