Jean Hajar was a female Human Starfleet cadet in the late 24th century.

Hajar separates from her team

In the lead-up to the graduation ceremony that year, Hajar and the other members of Nova Squadron (Nicholas Locarno, Sito Jaxa, Wesley Crusher, and Joshua Albert,) were crossing the Academy campus discussing plans to perform the impressive Kolvoord Starburst maneuver, before Hajar separated off. (LD: "Old Friends, New Planets")

As team navigator, Hajar filed false flight plans for stardate 45703 to practice the maneuver on the Academy Flight Range near the moons of Saturn. During the exercise, Nova Squadron was involved in an accidental collision in which Cadet Albert was killed, while the other members of the team, including Hajar, were able to activate their emergency transporters to escape their ships to the emergency evac station on Mimas.

Hajar and the other members of Nova Squadron attempted to cover up the fact it was their performing the banned maneuver which resulted in Albert's death by placing the blame for the accident solely on Albert. Wesley Crusher, however, ultimately confessed to their wrongdoing during the resulting board of inquiry.

Team leader Nicholas Locarno eventually took full responsibility for the actions of the Squadron, and was expelled from the Academy. Hajar, Crusher, and Sito Jaxa had their flight privileges revoked. (TNG: "The First Duty")

Hajar was played by Walker Brandt in "The First Duty".

Hajar was depicted in "Old Friends, New Planets", but did not have a speaking role.
