Counselor of the Starship Enterprise
SUBJECT: Deanna Troi
SPECIES: Half Human/Half Betazoid
RANK: Lietenant Commander
ASSIGNED VESSEL: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D
POSITION: Ship's Counselor
PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent
PLACE OF BIRTH: Betazed
PROFILE: Troi, Deanna. Ship's Counselor of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D. Half Betazoid; half human. Expert on human behavior. Professionally trained in human and alien psychology. Can sense danger through her Betazoid abilities. Gifted with empathic powers, making her essential when the Enterprise encounters unknown lifeforms. Provides counsel on the emotional condition of Captain Picard and his crew. Close and vital advisor to Picard. Perfect for Away Team missions, provides insights into alien motivations and moods. Has a close relationship with Commander Riker.
Though she is not officially a line officer, Deanna Troi holds the rank of Lieutenant Commander. She does not occupy a permanent position on the bridge. Counselor Troi's mother, Lwaxana Troi, considers herself Betazoid royalty. That lineage, mixed with her father, a human Starfleet officer, makes Troi a unique woman with a keen sensing ability. She does not have total telepathic powers like a full Betazoid, but when combined with her human qualities they provide her with an ideal balance to handle emotional issues. She is a vital and highly respected member of the Enterprise - as essential as a medical officer of chief engineer.
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE NOTATION: The U.S.S. Enterprise, caught in a deadly space rift, faces certain destruction. Counselor Troi saves the ship and the crew by entering an artificially induced REM dream state, which helps her release the Enterprise from its energy draining hold.
