American actress who played the Vulcan Maquis arms buyer Sakonna in Deep Space Nine and the former Borg drone Marika Wilkarah in Voyager.
Bertila Damas is an American actress with stage, film and television credits, including the film Nothing but Trouble.
She appears in both parts of the Deep Space Nine second-season story The Maquis as Sakonna, a Vulcan who approaches Quark to buy weapons for the settlers of the Demilitarised Zone. Her calm logic makes for a comic mismatch with the Ferengi, and her attempt to force a mind meld on the captive Gul Dukat fails.
In Voyager's sixth-season episode Survival Instinct she plays Marika Wilkarah, a Bajoran once known as Three of Nine, who chooses to live a short time as an individual aboard Voyager.
