B'Elanna Torres is a Klingon-Human hybrid engineer in the Star Trek universe, best known as the chief engineer of the USS Voyager under Captain Kathryn Janeway during the ship's seven-year journey home from the Delta Quadrant.
Born in 2346 on the Federation colony Kessik IV to a Human father, John Torres, and a Klingon mother, Miral, B'Elanna struggled throughout her youth with her mixed heritage and a fiery temper. She attended Starfleet Academy but dropped out in 2368, later joining the Maquis, where she formed a close and lasting friendship with Chakotay.
Stranded aboard Voyager, Torres earned Janeway's respect and was appointed chief engineer, becoming one of the ship's most capable officers. The character is central to Star Trek: Voyager. This overview summarizes source material under CC BY-SA; detailed chronology is presented in the Timeline.
