Lieutenant Commander Tarla Dean is an instructor at Starfleet Academy, regularly teaching tactical and security courses at both the San Francisco and Starbase 118 campuses. As part of those responsibilities, she is sometimes called upon to support training simulations by acting as first or commanding officers as assigned.

Tarla started her career as an enlisted officer during the Dominion War. Following the war, her commanding officer recommended her for accelerated placement as an officer candidate at Starfleet Academy. She spent two full years there, and spent the next ten years of her life serving on several Starships, most notably as the chief of security and tactical on the USS Astraeus for three years. In 2383, Dean accepted transfer to Earth, where she has spent time as both an Academy instructor and advisor to the admiralty board in matters related to Starfleet tactics and security.
