Mirra is Theo's best friend of four years. They first met as junior officers aboard the ''[[USS Columbia]]''. Their friendship grew after Theo placed himself between Mirra and the pirate known as [[Chennel]] during an away mission to [[Tolus Phi System|Hemix I]]. Mirra has a tendency to become exasperated at what she perceives at Theo's reckless streak and his tendency to put himself in harm's way to protect the officers under his command. After the Columbia was withdrawn from active service, they were reunited when they were both assigned to [[StarBase 118]] (Theo was assigned there two months earlier). Their assignment aboard 118 was marked by repeated clashes with [[Chennel]] and their fierce protectiveness for each other ensured that they both survived each encounter. Mirra took a Leave of Absence from Starfleet following Chennel's final defeat (and death) and the two lost contact while she recuperated. However, they once more encountered each other during the [[USS Blackwell]]'s mission to Arndall in the [[Par'tha Expanse]]. Theo was by now a starship commander and he reactivated her Starfleet commission, assigning her to the Blackwell as a Diplomatic Officer. She followed him to the Columbia in September 2395 but was reassigned shortly afterwards. The two remain in contact despite Columbia's assignment at the edge of the galaxy.
