Tygas Bazzi

Commander Tygas Bazzi is a male Trill Starfleet officer in the 24th century. As of 2376, he is serving as Strategic Operations Officer on the staff of Admiral Alynna Nechayev at Starfleet Command. In this role, he is responsible for coordinating the movements and activities of Starfleet vessels under Nechayev's purview.

He has, for unknown reasons, taken an interest in Captain T'Pia and worked to protect her career despite her controversial and outspoken dissenting views on Federation policy. This protection puts the Admiral in a somewhat delicate position. The current Chief of Starfleet Operations is expected to retire soon. Nechayev is one of the leading candidates to take his place. However, she knows that the Federation Council will scrutinize her every decision during the vetting process for this high profile job. She has no intention of appearing any more controversial than necessary. Commander Bazzi has persuaded her, for now, that T’Pia is a safe choice to command a starship. But he has made T'Pia aware of the political sensitivity of the role, and of the risks he and the admiral are taking by supporting her.
