** '''Mother:''' Tahna Yavarel. An orphan, the first of her family name, a resistance fighter and later Bajoran militia, Yavarel is now retired. She and her daughter are two sides of the same coin, though they refuse to acknowledge it. Arguments are a common occurrence and are usually unresolved. Yavarel remains opposed to her daughter's decision to join Starfleet to this day, and Meru avoids calls home for fear of confrontation. Love runs deep between mother and daughter, under many layers of hurt, and Meru regrets her inability to mend this relationship. | ** '''Mother:''' Tahna Yavarel.

Rendered unable to walk during his time in a Cardassian labor camp, he took up art when the Occupation ended, and is now a respected painter on Bajor. Rej has always supported his daughter's aspirations unconditionally, and he and Meru are close. | ** '''Father:''' Tahna Rej.

A rogue moon mysteriously appeared in the [[Tyrellian system]], on a collision course with Palanon. Freshly-promoted Lieutenant Tahna Meru joined Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]'s team on the Bridge in investigating the rogue moon and its origins. They were investigating the possibility that the moon might be sent back through a transwarp conduit via a series of tachyon pulses when the ''USS Kerla'' returned to the Gorkon with inconclusive lifesigns. Admiral Reynolds, Lieutenant Commander [[Ayiana Sevo]], and Lieutenant [[Gnaxac]] were investigating the runabout when they were thrown back in time to the Gorkon's time "Over There." They devised a plan to inject the ship's bio-neural circuitry with a chroniton-infused serum in order to return to the present. Upon their successful return, were able to send the tachyon pulses necessary to send the rogue moon home, while shielding the inhabited planets in the system from further damage. | A rogue moon mysteriously appeared in the [[Tyrellian system]], on a collision course with Palanon.
