Lieutenant junior grade Trillya was a humanoid alien Starfleet officer who served during the late 23rd century. In 2286, she served aboard the USS Shepard as a communications officer.
That year, the Shepard was among the starships disabled by the Whale Probe when Trillya sent a distress call to Starfleet Headquarters. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
Trillya was played by Jane Wiedlin, rhythm guitarist and songwriter for the rock band The Go-Go's.
The name Trillya originated from the source's script.
The fact that she is an "alien" is taken from the film's credits, where she was as "Alien Communications Officer".
