Insignia:

Ensign Samantha Wildman was a xenobiologist assigned to the USS Voyager sometime prior to 2371.

She was married to a Ktarian named Greskrendtregk. Greskrendtregk and Samantha had been visiting Doctor Julian Bashir on Deep Space 9 in the hopes that he would be able to aid them in getting pregnant. The treatments were successful - Samantha was (unknowingly) pregnant when she left DS9 aboard Voyager in 2371. Voyager was then stranded in the Delta Quadrant where Samantha subsequently gave birth to their child, Naomi Wildman in 2372. (VOY episode: "Deadlock")

Samantha and her daughter, Naomi

In 2372, there were complications during the birth, and the child died. However, a subspace accident had duplicated Voyager and the duplicated child was returned to Samantha when her counterpart was killed. The child was later named Naomi. After the Kazon had stranded the crew on a primitive planet when they captured Voyager, her baby became ill and almost died. The chief of the primitive tribe native to the planet, cured her with herbs and roots. Neelix would have a crisis of faith and believe that life was not worth living after being revived after an accident. It was thanks to Ensign Wildman that Chakotay was able to remind Neelix that his family was now the crew of Voyager, especially Wildman's daughter Naomi, who was very fond of him; indeed, he was also Naomi's godfather. (VOY episode: "Mortal Coil")

Samantha was one of the most loyal viewers of Good Morning, Voyager, the daily news program hosted by Neelix in 2373. (VOY episode: "Macrocosm")

On an away mission, the Delta Flyer, crewed by Wildman, Tom Paris and Tuvok, was damaged by an ion storm, crashed, and was buried under rock on a deserted planetoid. Wildman was seriously hurt, bleeding internally. With their air running out, Wildman recorded a goodbye message to her daughter. Neelix would keep her daughter occupied in a holoprogram while the rescue effort took place. Just before the air was depleted, the Flyer was dug out and transported to Voyager, saving the crew. After her injuries healed, Wildman and Naomi would visit the holoprogram, accompanied by Neelix and Janeway. (VOY episode: "Once Upon a Time")

In 2378, Samantha and Naomi were reunited with Greskrendtregk when Voyager returned to Earth. (VOY novel: Homecoming)
