Nancy Bryce was a human Starfleet officer who served aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), the USS Excelsior (NCC-2000) and the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) between 2285 and 2287. Her father was Andre Bryce, science officer of the USS Gallant under the command of Captain John Bearclaw.
Bryce graduated from Starfleet Academy in the top 3% of her class, and was selected by Captain Spock for a special training cruise on the Enterprise in 2285. Bryce nearly lost her life when the Enterprise was attacked by Khan Noonien Singh near the Mutara Nebula. She was pulled out of harms way by classmate Peter Preston, who was fatally injured at his post soon after. Following the incident, she was assigned to the Enterprise as an ensign, under Admiral James T. Kirk. (DC Comic, "Who's Who in Star Trek" #1)
When the Gallant was destroyed with all hands in 2285 while patrolling the Klingon Neutral Zone, William Bearclaw blamed his father's death on the perceived incompetence of Bryce's father and attacked her. The fight was stopped by Captain James T. Kirk who later chose her to accompany him on a reconnaisance mission into a wormhole that had been stabilized by the Klingons for use as a staging area. (TOS DC Comic #1: "The Wormhole Connection")
The mission quickly turned into one of survival once she and Kirk infiltrated the Klingon space station found inside the wormhole. After encountering Konom, a Klingon defector, she and Kirk soon destroyed the station's wormhole stabilizer and were rescued by Lieutenant Saavik. (TOS comic #2: "The Only Good Klingon")
Following the wormhole mission, Kirk noted in Bryce's file that, "Aboard the station, she handled herself quite well under combat conditions, pausing only briefly when confronted with a kill-or-be-killed situation". (DC Comic, "Who's Who in Star Trek" #1)
Following Konom's defection, Bryce befriended the Klingon. Her feelings soon grew beyond simple friendship, and on the advice of Commander Uhura, Bryce soon began a romantic relationship with Konom. (DC Comc #17 The D'Artagnan Three )
On Stardate 8878.1, Bryce was possessed by the murderous entity known as Redjac as part of the malevelant entity's plan for revenge against James Kirk. Redjac used Bryce's form to kill three members of Kirk's crew, and almost killed Commander Pavel Chekov, before Redjac was forced from Bryce's body. Bryce briefly considered resigning from starfleet after the incident, until Kirk convinced her that the best way to honor the memory of theose who fell at Redjac's hand was to continue to serve. (DC Comic's # 22-23 "Wolf on the Prowl", "Wolf at the Door")
Bryce and Konom became engaged to be married during a shore leave on Christofi IX when Bryce convinced Konom that he had to put his past with the Klingon Defense Force behind him. (DC Comic #46 "Getaway")
Bryce briefly broke off the engagement after first encountering the Klingon/Human hybrid whom she gave the name "Bernie", who was an albino dwarf with an apparently stunted intellect. The wedding was on again after Bryce realized that together, she and Konom could face down whatever the future had in store for them. Bryce and Konom were married on Stardate 9000.0 in a ceremony on the Enterprise conducted by Captain Kirk. (DC Comic "Who Killed Captain Kirk?")
Bernie, who would go on to become the Klingon Empire's most honored ambassador, took the Klingon name of Kobry, after his friends Konom and Bryce. (TNG novel Strike Zone)
