The first Kasqian at Starfleet Academy, a holographic being only weeks old who was rebuilt and raised by the Doctor.
SAM, short for Series Acclimation Mil, is the first Kasqian to attend Starfleet Academy. Kasqians are a kind of hologram, and SAM was only weeks old when she enrolled, programmed by her Makers to be a young adult and to serve as their emissary. She is played by Kerrice Brooks.
Her role as an emissary made her fascinated by Benjamin Sisko, the Emissary of the Prophets, and Professor Illa Dax shared Jake Sisko's book with her. As the year went on, SAM began to glitch dangerously, and the Doctor and Nahla Ake took her home to Kasq, where the Makers found she was too damaged to repair because she had been made without a childhood to give her resilience.
The Doctor spent seventeen years on Kasq, equal to two weeks on Earth, rebuilding and raising her as his daughter. She later went with Caleb Mir in a stolen shuttle to find his mother, and in the final crisis she deciphered the Doctor's garbled words and deactivated Nus Braka's Omega mines.
