Chantal Zaheva

Captain Chantal R. Zaheva was the commanding officer of the starship USS Brattain until her death in 2367.

The Brattain became trapped in a Tyken's Rift, and a telepathic distress call from an alien entity caused a critical disturbance in the brain chemistry of Zaheva and her crew, causing madness. Zaheva perished when one of her crew stabbed her in the chest with a knife while she sat in her command chair. She recorded several captain's log entries that portrayed her own insanity as well as that of her crew, she suspected her executive officer, Commander Brink, was plotting against her.
