Dierdre Watley

Dierdre Bashir (néé Watley) was a female Human Starfleet officer in mid 23rd century, who served aboard the Federation starships USS Lexington and the USS Enterprise.

Starfleet service
Dierdre Watley was serving on the Lexington as early as 2258, under Mark Rosseau. The Lexington was one of the ship that caried relief supplies to the Caleb IV outpost after it had been attacked by two Klingon divisions, led by Kor and Kang.

Captain Rosseau was later replaced by Commodore Robert Wesley in 2264. A few months later, the Lexington rendezvoused with the USS Enterprise, so that they could transport Ambassador Robert Fox to Eminiar VII.

In mid 2267 the Lexington led a fleet to Organia that included the the USS Constitution, the USS Roddenberry, the USS Aurora, the USS Gemini, six other Constitution-class starships, one other Soyuz class ship, a few Icarus-class starships and various cargo and support vessels to battle the Klingons. However, by the time they arrived at Organia, the war had already been brought to an end by the Organians.

Watley transferred to the USS Enterprise around a week before its arrival at Deep Space K-7 in 2268. Julian Bashir (Watley's future great-grandson) and Miles O'Brien met her in a turbolift aboard the starship after the crew of the USS Defiant were brought back in time by Arne Darvin. As his great-grandmother's name was Watley, Bashir became concerned that he was his own great-grandfather and that he could be erased from time if he did not meet Watley in Sickbay. However, this did not have any effect on the timeline.
