Jira Narwani

Helmeted Shenzhou bridge officer

A Starfleet lieutenant on the bridge of the USS Shenzhou in 2256 who works with her head enclosed in a visored helmet and reports sensor and tactical readings during the Battle of the Binary Stars.

Jira Narwani is a lieutenant aboard the USS Shenzhou in The Vulcan Hello and Battle at the Binary Stars, the two-part opening of Star Trek: Discovery.
She is instantly recognisable on the bridge because her whole head is covered by a helmet with a glowing visor, through which she appears to take in the ship's data directly. Her face is never shown and the series does not explain the device or say what species she belongs to.
Narwani supplies Captain Georgiou with readings as the Shenzhou examines the Klingon object in the binary system and later during the battle itself. She is not seen again after the crew abandon the wrecked ship.
