Geordi La Forge

 was the chief engineer of the USS Enterprise.

La Forge's vision was enhanced with an ocular device called a VISOR, which gave him "extraordinary abilities", but he would have preferred to have normal vision.

La Forge assisted Data with a routine scan of his neural net before the Enterprise's visit to Naia VII. On that planet, Captain Ochoa hoped to consult with La Forge about the challenges of mining below the water's surface. After a flooding incident, La Forge reviewed the operation. He found that safety protocols were "remarkably low". Captain Picard explained that Starfleet was cutting corners to rebuild its fleet after the losses to the Borg at Wolf 359. (IDW: Assimilation²)
