Hoshi SatoHoshi Sato, a character in the fictional Star Trek universe, is the communication officer aboard the starship NX-01 Enterprise in the science fiction television series . She is a linguist who speaks more than thirty languages, including Klingon. She invented the universal translator which allows beings from virtually any species to communicate with any other. Hoshi is played by Korean American actor Linda Park. Her oriental-sounding surname "Sato" is the probably most common Japanese surname (佐藤). In Japanese, her given name means "star" (although the dialogue leaves the typical English-speaking viewer ignorant of the fact). There have been hints that Sato might be attracted to her colleague Travis Mayweather, but this has yet to be expanded upon. She also appears to be very close to Captain Jonathan Archer and they appear to have some history that predates her posting to Enterprise, but the full nature of their relationship as also yet to be explored. Relatively little of Sato's background has been explored in the series. It is known that she (briefly) suffered from space-sickness and is also claustrophobic. The fourth season episode "Observer Effect revealed that she was once dishonorably discharged from Starfleet for running a floating poker game and breaking the arm of a Starfleet instructor who tried to break it up (she has a black belt in aikido). She was subsequently allowed to rejoin Starfleet on the strength of her linguistic skills. Prior to her posting aboard Enterprise, Sato was teaching linguistics in Brazil and it's unclear as to whether she was an active Starfleet officer at that time, or was reactivated to serve under Archer. She later (again, in "Observer Effect") expressed regret at leaving without having the chance to say goodbye to her students. Sato, Hoshi
