Tanta

Tanta was a Yynsian engineer and mother of Tovar. She and her husband, Jimsok had never wanted children but were badgered into having Tovar by Tanta's parents. Tovar spent most of his childhood with his grandparents, allowing his parents to lead their lives as they wished, which included a lot of travel. One of their favorite places was the Multek Enclave. Tanta's parents were killed in a lava skiing accident, which forced Tanta and Jimsok to perform more parental responsibilities, much to their annoyance.

Around this time, the Multeks, who were in danger of being taken over by the Dillon Consortium, approached Tanta and Jimsok with an offer to live in the Enclave if Tanta helped design a system to generate a pocket universe where they could hide the Enclave. Tanta did so, using each of the Enclave's nine stars for power, and, when the time came to activate the pocket universe, she and Jimsok left Tovar at a Starfleet Scouts camp on Waystation Prime, confident that he would be taken care of, and were in the Multek Enclave when it disappeared thanks to Tanta's pocket universe generators.

Around twenty years later, the USS Anomaly accidentally ended up in the pocket universe. Tovar was reunited with his parents, but neither Tanta or Jimsok had much interest in getting to know him. Captain Reginald Bain set a plan in motion to shut down the pocket universe generators and return the Multek Enclave to normal space. It was successful, but then he learned that the Multeks had hidden the Enclave in the first place to prevent their worlds from being taken over by the Dillon Consortium. Bain did everything he could to set things right, and took on an entire Consortium acquisition fleet while Lieutenant Shelly Marsden repaired the pocket universe generator. Marsden realized that she would have to stay inside the Enclave to activate the generators, separating her from Tovar forever. Tanta revealed to Marsden that she'd designed the system in the first place and told Marsden to get back to Tovar and to tell him to be happy. Marsden returned to the Anomaly, and, in a last comm before she reactivated the generators, Tanta told Tovar to call her "Tanta" instead of mother, since the Bains were his true parents.
