Marietta Inyo

Marietta Kegan Inyo (13 May 2940 - 6 October 3007) was a Federation medical officer and scientist who served in Star Fleet during the reformation of the United Federation of Planets. Inyo served under Captain Edward Jellico as Chief Medical Officer onboard the U.S.S. Vaux (2990-2997). During her time on the Vaux, she held the rank of Commander. Prior to this, she served as a scientist as Starfleet Medical and as a Doctor on a number of different future-Federation worlds (prior to reformation). She spent three years on Grazziella, in which time she met Jaresh Inyo. She married Inyo in 2963 and had their only child, Sonya Inyo, in 2964. 
In 2965 she returned to Terra with Sonya, quickly returning the Grazziella to live with Jaresh Inyo (who was serving as a political advisor to the local government). In 2985, with the reformation of the United Federation of Planets, Inyo and her family (including Sonya and Jaresh) moved to Terra following Jaresh Inyo's election as a congressman. In 2990, Jaresh Inyo was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives (Federation Congress) and was thrust into the presidency following the assassination of President Grand Tarkin. The Federation/C.E. war had begun, and Inyo left Terra for the safety of herself and her daughter, while Jaresh remained on Terra to lead the war effort. 
She lived the remainder of her life on Graziella, losing contact with her husband and her daughter following the Galactic Cataclysm (as Sonya had returned to visit Earth during the disaster). She remained in regular contact through sub-space communication, but would never see either of them again. She continued her work as a medical professional until her death in 3007. 
In 3019, Sonya described the separation and death of her mother "the most difficult thing my father and I would ever go through", and became the most famous instance of the separation of families during the Federation/C.E. war and the cataclysm. Many families, much like the Inyos, would never be reunited.
