Commander Akane Tendo-Saotome is currently the Chief Medical Officer of the U.S.S. Benjamin Sisko.
Commander Saotome's career has been distinguished, but not without its share of issues. She has been cited multiple times for using excessive force as well as having been forced to undergo anger management courses on at least two of her previous starships.
From Ensign to becoming a Lt. Commander aboard the U.S.S. Loami (NCC 71144) - where she served with Captain Ranma Saotome - Commander Saotome has been in security. Despite the aforementioned issues, nearly all of her commanding officers have given her abilities glowing reviews and have stated that she is a qualified and extraordinary security asset.
According to the personal logs and public statements of Commander Saotome, her transfer to the Sisko was neither welcomed nor wanted, despite the promotion that came with it.
