Susan Nicoletti

Susan Nicoletti was an engineering crew member of the USS Voyager during its time in the Delta Quadrant, and held the rank of lieutenant.

She played the oboe as a hobby, and worked with Harry Kim to make a new orchestral program on the holodeck. She had a reputation, at least with Tom Paris, of being cold. Her crew quarters were on deck 4, although in 2371, when Voyager encountered a spatial anomaly, Nicoletti's quarters were reconfigured to be on deck 8. 

In 2371, Nicoletti was a member of the away team ordered to remove Federation technology from a damaged Kazon-Nistrim raider. 

She was working in main engineering when photonic lifeforms took over the control of the holodeck and non-corporeal beings took over the control of the ship. 

Nicoletti was working in main engineering when another gel pack had a power failure and was part of the team which tried to repair this. 

In 2374, she worked with Vorik to get the impulse engines back online after the warp core had to be ejected. Later that year, Nicoletti received a letter from home, handed out by Neelix in the mess hall, that had been transmitted from the Alpha Quadrant over the Hirogen communications network. 

Nicoletti was working in engineering while the ship passed the Void and suddenly all power went off. She was also present when the Malon Emck was given a tour through engineering. Later, when the ship passed a spatial vortex, she was working on the bridge manning a side station. 

In 2375, while Voyager was helping a group of Brenari refugees through the Devore Imperium space, she and Harry Kim were assigned to transporter room 2 while they were held in transporter suspension, and the Devore inspection teams checked the ship during the second inspection. 

Later that year, she was on duty in engineering while Voyager was preparing to enter what they thought was a wormhole, but was in fact a telepathic pitcher plant. As Seven of Nine was the only adult unaffected, she attempted to stop the rest of the crew; so she stunned Lieutenant Torres. Nicoletti turned around at the sound of the phaser beam, and was stunned as well. 

In 2376, while a group of aliens boarded Voyager, she was on duty in engineering. As the aliens were moving at a much faster rate than the ship, she appeared frozen to them. 

Mimetic duplicate
In 2374, she was duplicated by the Silver Blood along with the rest of Voyager's crew. When those duplicates began to break down in 2375 due to radiation from a new warp core technology, she was one of the first three affected due to her proximity to the core. By the time the mimetic-Lieutenant Torres was affected, she was already lying in sickbay with facial reversions. 

Background
Susan Nicoletti was played by regular background actress Christine Delgado, one of many actors hired to be in the background over Star Trek: Voyagers seven years. She received no credit for her appearances.

She was named by Michael Piller after a real Susan Nicoletti, a friend of Eric Stillwell. (Source: Eric Stillwell)
