The Romulan subcommander in charge of the warbird Haakona, which confronts the Enterprise-D in the Neutral Zone at Iconia in the episode Contagion.
Subcommander Taris commands the Romulan warbird Haakona. She appears in the second-season episode Contagion.
She decloaks beside the Enterprise after Picard enters the Neutral Zone to investigate the loss of the USS Yamato, and orders him out. Neither commander knows at first that both ships have been infected by an ancient Iconian computer programme that is rewriting their systems, and the standoff is made more dangerous by weapons and shields that switch on and off unbidden.
By the end the Haakona's self-destruct has engaged and Taris cannot stop it. Riker transmits La Forge's cure, a complete shutdown and reload from protected memory, and the Enterprise withdraws while the Romulans attempt it.
