Sharona M'Sam

Sharona M'Sam was a Caitian Starfleet science officer in the late 24th century. In 2397, M'Sam became the chief science officer and executive officer of the USS Paramaribo.

M'Sam had a warm personality, and loved all kinds of art and nature. He gained a reputation for being incredibly loyal to his crew.

The Paramaribo was a departure from M'Sam's previous postings: with a crew of just 20, the only other science officers on board were the medical staff. M'Sam was second-in-command during the day shift, and C. A. Kelper, the ship's chief medical officer, reported to him.

M'Sam never pursued his own captaincy, although many of his superior officers, including his captain Sheleth and former science officer Kathryn Janeway, thought that he would be well suited to one.
