Peress Dolsan

Dr. Peress Dolsan

Dr. Peress Dolsan was a Romulan scientist and refugee who resettled on Bilire VI after the destruction of Romulus from the Hobus supernova.

The daughter of a decorated military officer, Peress was an unabashed patriot and held criminals, pacifists, and reunificationists on the same level. In the aftermath of Shinzon's coup in 2379, her father was later imprisoned without trial among many other suspected supporters in the military that had allowed Shinzon to assassinate the Senate. Peress however knew her father was merely a scapegoat who was loyal to the Senate and Romulus and had been left to die in a prison cell when Hobus destroyed Romulus and Remus.

Distrustful of the Federation and its assistance in the wake of the disaster, Peress did little to hide her disdain of the Starfleet officers from the USS Independence-A that arrived in 2388 to assist the Romulan refugee colony on Bilire VI with a disease the colonists called the Wrath. Peress was working on fighting the disease with another scientist who later disappeared shortly before Starfleet's arrival.

Peress was killed on SD 238805.23 by Ivorsk Ketas, an elderly Romulan refugee who unbeknownst to Peress was also a Tal Shiar agent who had previously assassinated her father. Her body was later discovered on SD 238805.30 in the flooded arboretum by Ayelet Kadosh and Zeet Tidari, but Ketas's involvement was never brought to light.
