[Ready room]
(the Admiral is a petite blonde)
NECHAYEV: There will be fifteen starships in this sector by the day after tomorrow. The Gorkon will be my flagship. You'll take command of task force three, consisting of the Enterprise, the Crazy Horse and the Agamemnon.
PICARD: Understood.
NECHAYEV: Captain, I've read the report that you submitted to Admiral Brooks last year regarding the Borg you called Hugh, and I've been trying to figure out why you let him go.
PICARD: I thought that I had made that clear.
NECHAYEV: As I understand, it you found a single Borg at a crash site, brought it aboard the Enterprise, studied it, analysed it, and eventually found a way to send it back to the Borg with a programme that would have destroyed the entire collective once and for all. But instead, you nursed the Borg back to health, treated it like a guest, gave it a name, and then sent it home. Why?
PICARD: When Hugh was separated from the Borg collective he began to grow and to evolve into something other than an automaton. He became a person. When that happened, I felt I had no choice but to respect his rights as an individual.
NECHAYEV: Of course you had a choice. You could've taken the opportunity to rid the Federation of a mortal enemy, one that has killed tens of thousands of innocent people, and which may kill even more.
PICARD: No one is more aware of the danger than I am. But I am also bound by my oath and my conscience to uphold certain principles. And I will not sacrifice them in order to
NECHAYEV: Your priority is to safeguard the lives of Federation citizens, not to wrestle with your conscience. Now I want to make it clear that if you have a similar opportunity in the future, an opportunity to destroy the Borg, you are under orders to take advantage of it. Is that understood?
PICARD: Yes, sir.

Ihr erster Auftritt in TNG "Geheime Mission auf Celtris III" macht zumindest für mich klar, dass sie die Flaggoffizierin für mindestens einen Abschnitt der cardassianischen Grenze ist.
[Ready room]
PICARD: Come.
(Riker enters with a small blonde woman)
RIKER: May I present Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
PICARD: Admiral, welcome aboard.
NECHAYEV: Thank you. That'll be all, Commander.
(Riker leaves)
PICARD: Can I get you some coffee? Tea?
NECHAYEV: Thank you, no, Captain. I'm afraid there's no time for the usual pleasantries. I'm here to relieve you of command of the Enterprise.
(and on that bombshell we're straight into the opening titles)
[Observation lounge]
NECHAYEV: The Cardassian forces which were recently withdrawn from the Bajoran sector, have been redeployed along the Federation border. They have mobilised three divisions of ground troops and their subspace communications have been increased by fifty percent. We believe that they're preparing for an incursion into Federation space.
RIKER: Are the Cardassians ready for a war?
NECHAYEV: I didn't say war, Commander, I said incursion. Our intelligence reports suggests that they'll try to seize one of the disputed systems along the border. We think they're gambling that the Federation won't actually go to war over one system.
TROI: Will we?
NECHAYEV: I hope we won't need to make that decision. We have decided to send the Enterprise to meet with the Cardassian representative and open talks. We're hoping that the presence of the Federation flagship on the border will send a message to their leadership about just how seriously we view the situation.
RIKER: Where's Captain Picard?
NECHAYEV: The Captain, your Chief Medical Officer, and Security Chief have been reassigned. That's all I can tell you for now. Do any of you know Edward Jellico?
DATA: He is the commanding officer of the Cairo.
RIKER: I've heard of him. I don't know that any of us have
NECHAYEV: I'm giving him command of the Enterprise this afternoon. Captain Jellico helped to negotiate the original armistice two years ago and I believe he's the most qualified person to lead this mission. The change of command will take place at thirteen hundred hours. Thank you.
(everyone else leaves)
RIKER: Admiral, with all due respect, it's not necessary to give Captain Jellico command of the Enterprise just to conduct a negotiation.
NECHAYEV: I disagree. The Enterprise will be in a dangerous situation and I want someone on the Bridge who has a great deal of experience with the Cardassians. No offence, Commander, but that's not you.
PICARD: Come.
(Riker enters with a small blonde woman)
RIKER: May I present Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
PICARD: Admiral, welcome aboard.

PICARD: Admiral Necheyev, welcome aboard the Enterprise.
NECHEYEV: Thank you. You may leave, Commander Riker.
RIKER: Thank you, Admiral. Captain.
(Riker and Security leave)
PICARD: May I offer you some refreshment?
NECHEYEV: I'll come right to the point, Captain. There is a situation that's developed on the Cardassian border that. (double-take) Are those Bularian canapés?
PICARD: As a matter of fact, they are. I spoke with your aide, Commander Wrightwell, and he said that you were particularly fond of them.
NECHEYEV: That was very thoughtful, Captain. Thank you.
PICARD: Please. You were saying about the Cardassians?
(Picard pours the tea)
NECHEYEV: Yes. The Federation has just completed a very long and drawn-out series of negotiations regarding the final status of our border with the Cardassians. These will be the official boundaries.
(she hands over a PADD)
PICARD: I see.
NECHEYEV: You'll notice a demilitarised zone has also been created along the border. Neither side will be permitted to place military outposts, conduct fleet exercises, or station warships anywhere in the demilitarised area.
PICARD: This border places several Federation colonies in Cardassian territory and some Cardassian colonies in ours.
NECHEYEV: This agreement is far from perfect. Neither side got everything they wanted, but every side got something. And as someone once said, diplomacy is the art of the possible. Those colonies finding themselves on the wrong side of the border will have to be moved.
PICARD: Well, the colonists are not going to be happy about that. Some of them have been there for decades.
NECHEYEV: It won't be easy, but it's a reasonable price to pay for peace. Your mission will be to evacuate the colony on Dorvan Five.
PICARD: Dorvan Five? Isn't that where the group of North American Indians settled?
NECHEYEV: Yes. They've been there for about twenty years. They've established a village in a small valley on the southern continent. Is something wrong?
PICARD: Admiral, centuries ago these North American Indians were forcibly displaced from their ancestral lands. These settlers on Dorvan Five originally left Earth more than two hundred years ago in order to preserve their cultural identities.
NECHEYEV: I am aware of that, Captain.
PICARD: You see, Admiral, there are some very disturbing historical parallels here. Once more, they're being asked to leave their homes because of a political decision that has been taken by a distant government.
NECHEYEV: An Indian representative was included in the deliberations of the Federation Council. His objections were noted, discussed, but ultimately rejected. Captain, the Indians on Dorvan are a nomadic group that have settled there only twenty years ago, and at that time they were warned that the planet was hotly disputed by the Cardassians. The bottom line is they never should have gone there in the first place.
PICARD: Granted, but to go to them now after twenty years later and ask them to leave what is now their home.
NECHEYEV: I made that same argument with the Federation Council. But it took three years to negotiate this treaty. Some concessions had to be made, and this is one of them.
PICARD: What if these Indians refuse to be evacuated?
NECHEYEV: Then your orders will be to remove them by whatever means are necessary. I understand your moral objections, Captain. If you wish, I can find someone else to command the Enterprise for this mission.
PICARD: That will not be necessary, Admiral.
NECHEYEV: I don't envy you this task, but I do believe it is for the greater good.
PICARD: I understand.
NECHEYEV: And Captain, thank you for making me feel welcome.
PICARD: You will always be welcome aboard this ship, Admiral.
NECHEYEV: Thank you. You may leave, Commander Riker.

Captain's log, supplemental. Gul Evek and his crew have left the Enterprise, and we have proceeded to our rendezvous with Admiral Nechayev.
[Ready room]
NECHAYEV: No Bularian canapés this time, Captain?
PICARD: I thought twice was pushing it a little.
NECHAYEV: It's just as well. They're extremely fattening.
PICARD: You missed Gul Evek by a matter of hours. I asked him to stay. I thought that an Admiral's assurances might convince him that we are trying to deal with this Maquis situation.
NECHAYEV: Evek manages to make the Cardassians sound like helpless sheep being preyed on by Federation wolves. The truth is, we caught the Cardassian government supplying its colonies in the Demilitarised Zone with weapons.
PICARD: Gul Evek assured me that they had stopped that practice.
NECHAYEV: Ha. How comforting.
PICARD: Admiral, this Maquis situation has you worried.
NECHAYEV: Believe me, Captain, if I were living that close to the Cardassians, I'd keep a phaser under my pillow too. But in the last weeks we've seen signs that the Maquis are moving beyond self-defence. Their ranks are growing. They're acquiring ships, weapons. They seem to be preparing for a more aggressive military posture. We've got to put a stop to them before the entire Demilitarised Zone ignites. But before we stop them, we have to find them. They seem to be scattered in small cells around the Zone. And we don't have reliable intelligence about any of them.
PICARD: Perhaps you need an undercover operative.
NECHAYEV: Our thinking exactly. We intend to infiltrate their organisation, and the person we want to do it is aboard your ship right now

[Commander's office]
SISKO: Admiral.
NECHEYEV: Commander, the Cardassian Central Command has gone on military alert in response to the kidnapping of Gul Dukat.
SISKO: I'm not surprised.
NECHEYEV: This Security Chief of yours, the shape-shifter.
SISKO: Odo.
NECHEYEV: Odo. Are you sure you wouldn't be better off with a Starfleet officer heading your security team.
SISKO: Admiral, I have complete faith in Odo's ability to do his job.
NECHEYEV: If you say so, Commander.
SISKO: I do. And as for Gul Dukat, I assure you we're taking all possible steps to locate him.
NECHEYEV: Good. Keep me informed of your progress.
SISKO: I will. But Admiral, there's a bigger issue here than rescuing Dukat.
NECHEYEV: And what is that?
SISKO: The Maquis.
NECHEYEV: The Maquis are a bunch of irresponsible hotheads.
SISKO: These hotheads are responsible for the bombing of the Bok'Nor.
NECHEYEV: I'm aware of that, Commander. We never should've allowed those colonists to remain on the Cardassian side of the Demilitarised zone.
SISKO: Well they're there, Admiral, and they're not leaving.
NECHEYEV: What about Commander Hudson? He's lived with these people. What's his analysis of the situation?
SISKO: I'll have to ask him.
NECHEYEV: You do that. And Commander, I want you to find the Maquis. Talk to them. Remind them that they're citizens of the Federation. That it is imperative that we preserve the treaty with the Cardassians.
SISKO: A treaty the Cardassians may not be honouring.
NECHEYEV: Are you questioning Federation policy, Commander?
SISKO: All I know is that the situation in the Demilitarised zone is deteriorating rapidly.
NECHEYEV: Personally, I think you're overstating the problem. Establish a dialogue with the Maquis. They're still Federation citizens. I'm sure they'll listen to reason. Good luck, Commander.

Das zitiere ich jetzt mal nicht, da sie über die Hälfte der Episode Dialoge hat. Auch hier wird ihr Status als Regionalleiterin ziemlich klar.
In DS9 "Der Ausgesetzte" wird sie dann nur noch mal im Vorbeigehen erwähnt.

In jedem Falle hat es sicher nicht zur Gesamtklarheit beigetragen, dass der RAdm (lh) zuerst ein Abzeichen ohne und der RAdm (uh) eines mit einem Pin, bei der späteren Version der RAdm (uh) eines mit 2 Pins getragen hat, würde ich sagen. Da fällt der durchblick schonmal schwer. Und dass dann über das "Balkenabzeichen" mit 1 Pin so viel spekuliert wird (wo es doch nie zu sehen war), ist dann ja ebenso nachvollziehbar.
