A combative Tellarite cadet at Starfleet Academy in 3190 whose family suffered under the Emerald Chain and who takes out his resentment on an Orion classmate during a disastrous training mission.
Cadet Taahz Gorev appears in All Is Possible. He is one of the new intake that Tilly and Adira accompany on a shuttle exercise, a generation that grew up after the Burn on isolated worlds with no habit of trusting strangers.
When the shuttle crashes and the group must cross dangerous ground on foot, Gorev argues with every decision and needles the Orion cadet Harral about the Chain. Tilly, who has been doubting her own path in Starfleet, has to turn a squabbling group into a team.
On learning that Harral's father died fighting the Chain, Gorev apologises. He does his part in the escape, and the experience helps convince Tilly to accept a teaching post at the Academy.
