Lonnoc Kedair was a Takaran female serving in Starfleet in the late 24th century. By 2381 Lieutenant Kedair was chief of security and senior tactical officer on the USS Aventine. Kedair emigrated to the Federation from her homeworld in 2365 and was accepted at Starfleet Academy. She was surprised at the vulnerability of other species, having previously assumed all species shared a similar internal organ structure to Takarans. While at the Academy, Kedair recognized her calling in life was to protect those weaker than herself, and so chose security as a specialism.
