The military commander in the implanted memories that torment Voyager's crew in Memorial, who orders the forced evacuation of the Nakan colonists and then conceals their deaths.
Commander Saavdra appears in the Voyager episode Memorial. Chakotay, Paris, Kim and Neelix return from an away mission haunted by memories of a battle none of them fought, and the experience soon spreads through the ship.
In these memories Saavdra leads soldiers sent to remove the Nakan from their colony on Tarakis. When some colonists resist and shots are fired, the troops panic and kill dozens of unarmed civilians.
Saavdra then orders the bodies vaporised so that no evidence remains. The crew later finds that the memories come from a monument on Tarakis, built so that every passer-by would relive the massacre and it could never be forgotten.
