Losira

Losira

Losira was a female Kalandan, the commander of a Kalandan outpost who died around 10,000 BC. Before her death, she programmed the outpost's computer to use an image of her for defensive purposes.

The outpost was later discovered by the USS Enterprise in 2268. When the Enterprise's landing party arrived on the planet, the image of Losira appeared a number of times and each time killed a member of the crew by touching them. The victim would die from cellular disruption. She then appeared in main engineering and then hurled the Enterprise 900 light years away from the planet, stranding the landing party.

When Losira's image appeared to the landing party, it would say "I...am for you." and try to touch one of the crewmen. They discovered that there were many Losira's, and that only the one "made for" a crewman specifically could harm that crewman. They created a strategy so that if Losira tried to touch one of them, the other members of the landing party would block her, as her powers would not affect them. To counteract this, several of her would attack at once.

In the meantime, Spock discovered a computer on the planet's surface, which projected the image of Losira. When they destroy it, Losira dematerialized. A recording stating that Losira was last surviving member of the Kalandan outpost whose population died, around 10,000 BC, of a deadly microorganism. (TOS: "That Which Survives")

Losira was played by actress Lee Meriwether.
