M'Ress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lieutenant M'Ress, voiced by Majel Barrett, was a recurring character on Star Trek: The Animated Series which aired on NBC from 1973 to 1975.

M'Ress was a female Starfleet officer assigned to the engineering section of the U.S.S. Enterprise while under the command of Captain Kirk. She also occasionally assumed the role of relief Communications Officer. M'Ress was Caitian: a felinoid, with long, thick orange fur and yellow eyes. She spoke quite softly and had a cat-like purring quality to her voice. Because she had thick pads on the soles of her feet she required no footwear.

[edit] Appearances

M'Ress's first appearance was in the animated episode The Survivor. She appeared in a total of six episodes: The Survivor, Once Upon a Planet, Mudd's Passion, The Eye of the Beholder, Bem and The Practical Joker.

The character of M'Ress also appeared in the Star Trek Novel, "The Galactic Whirlpool" by David Gerrold published by Ballantine Books in October 1980, and she was also featured in the 1980's DC Comics version of Star Trek.

After a century stuck in time, she appeared again in the Next Generation era Star Trek: New Frontier novels. There she serves aboard the USS Trident.
