American actress who played the Bajoran Sito Jaxa, first as a Nova Squadron cadet in The First Duty and then as an Enterprise-D ensign in the Next Generation episode Lower Decks.
Shannon Fill is an American actress whose screen career was brief and is remembered chiefly for her two Star Trek appearances.
In The First Duty she plays Cadet Sito Jaxa, one of the Nova Squadron pilots who join the cover-up of the accident that killed a team-mate. The seventh-season episode Lower Decks picks up her story: now an ensign in security aboard the Enterprise-D, she is tested hard by Picard and encouraged by Worf.
Sito then volunteers to pose as the prisoner of a Cardassian operative being returned across the border, and is reported killed. The character is later remembered with affection in the animated series Lower Decks.
