An Enterprise yeoman who beamed down to the silent capital of Deneva with Kirk in 2267 and was present when the neural parasites attacked the landing party.
Yeoman Zahra Jamal appears in the episode Operation: Annihilate!. She joins Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scott and security men on the surface of Deneva, carrying a tricorder to keep the official record.
The party is set upon by a group of colonists who shout warnings even as they attack. Jamal is with Kirk when a woman's scream leads them to his brother's laboratory, where Sam Kirk lies dead and Aurelan and Peter are in agony.
She accompanies the group when they return to hunt for the cause and find the flat, pulsing creatures clinging to the walls, one of which strikes Spock in the back. Kirk orders her to note that the things do not register as life on the tricorder. She was played by Maurishka Taliaferro.
