Alandra La Forge
Alandra La Forge was a 25th century Human Starfleet officer that served under her father, Geordi La Forge, at the Fleet Museum.
Early life
Alandra La Forge was born in the late 24th century to her mother and Geordi La Forge, along with a sister, Sidney. Geordi raised both with the intention of imparting the best aspects of himself in them, though he considered Sidney the more "stubborn" of the two. To that, Sidney considered Alandra much more directly like their father.
Both Alandra and Sidney followed in their father's footsteps and joined Starfleet, Alandra becoming an engineer with a passion for building things like her father. (PIC: "The Bounty")
Starfleet Career
In the early 2400s, Ensign La Forge served as an engineer at the Fleet Museum over Athan Prime under the command of her father. Together, they objected to and monitored the rollout of Fleet formation mode across Starfleet. She was also involved in her father's restoration of the USS Enterprise-D in the Fleet museum's Hangar Bay 12.
In 2401, the USS Titan-A, on the run from Starfleet and the Changelings, went to the Fleet Museum in search of Commodore La Forge's assistance. Commodore and Ensign La Forge beamed aboard the Titan for reunions with Geordi's former crewmates and Sidney, serving as the Titan's helmsman. While Commodore La Forge, with Alandra supporting by his side, was initially opposed to Jean Luc Picard's request, Alandra waited outside the conference room to support her sister's decision to stand by her crew rather than stay back at the museum. Alandra and Sidney then participated in Jack Crusher's plan to pilfer a Klingon cloaking device from the HMS Bounty. Starfleet alerted to the Titan's location, Alandra and Geordi found themselves joining Sidney and the Titan on the run, with Geordi asking Alandra to notify her mother "we're not gonna be home for dinner."
Following the recovery of Daystrom Android M-5-10 from Daystrom Station, Alandra supported her father and sister in analyzing the android until Data's personality resurfaced. (PIC: "The Bounty")
While the Titan strategized, La Forge continued to make progress on analyzing the conflicting personalities within Data in sickbay. (PIC: "Dominion")
In 2401, Alandra was one of several officers assimilated by the Borg. (PIC: "Vox"). While assimilated, she, her sister and many other young officers seized control of the USS Titan-A. Fortunately, the assimilation was soon reversed. (PIC: "The Last Generation")
Relationships
Sidney LaForge
Alandra had a close relationship with her sister, Sidney. When Geordi and Alandra beamed aboard the Titan, the sisters greeted each other pleasantly and when Sidney called their father "impossible", Alandra promised to do what she could to help when their father was being difficult, Alandra apologized to Sidney. Alandra also noted the flirtation between her sister and Jack Crusher. (PIC: "The Bounty")
Alternate timeline
In an anti-time future, Alandra was the child of Geordi La Forge and Dr. Leah Brahms. Her siblings were Sidney and Bret La Forge. Jean-Luc Picard inquired about Sidney and the child's siblings when he reunited with Geordi around 2395. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
