Rank:Commodore
Occupation:Commodore Paris is a Human Federation Starfleet flag officer of Starbase Yorktown

"There's no relative direction in the vastness of space. There's only yourself, your ship, your crew. It's easier than you think to get lost."

Paris has became the commanding officer of Yorktown, the newest and most advanced starbase the Federation has built to date.

Starfleet Command had sent Captain James T. Kirk's application for a vice admiral position at Yorktown to Paris for consideration, and requested that Commander Spock take command of the USS Enterprise in his stead.

Paris and Kirk later met an alien female named "Kalara" aboard Yorktown, whose escape pod drifted out of the nearby Necro Cloud and claimed that her ship and crew were stranded on a planet called Altamid in the nebula. Kirk volunteered the Enterprise to go into the nebula to rescue any survivors.

In the aftermath of a subsequent attack on Yorktown committed by Krall, Paris closed the Starfleet files on the USS Franklin and its crew. When asked, she confirmed to Kirk that admirals didn't get to command starships, prompting Kirk to decline a promotion in favor of captaining the new USS Enterprise-A instead.

Despite being verbally identified as a commodore, her uniform shows the rank stripes of an admiral.

She has been initially referred to as "the High Command of the Federation" in early news reports.
