Indian-American television host, author and actress who played Kaitaama, the abducted heir to the throne of Krios Prime, in the second-season Star Trek: Enterprise episode Precious Cargo.
Padma Lakshmi is an Indian-American author, model and television presenter who took a guest role in Star Trek: Enterprise in 2002.
In Precious Cargo she plays Kaitaama, a Kriosian noblewoman and future First Monarch of her world, who is being carried in a stasis pod by two Retellian kidnappers posing as cargo haulers. When Tucker is brought aboard to repair the pod she wakes, and the pair escape together in a cramped lifepod.
Much of the episode follows the bickering and eventual attraction between the haughty Kaitaama and the engineer after they come down on a swampy planet, before Enterprise recovers them and returns her to her people.
