Party Secretary Daras was an influential Ekosian woman and member of the Nazi Party. Secretly, she was a member of the Ekosian and Zeon underground, opposing the Nazi regime on Ekos in 2268.
At his request, she turned her "traitor" father over to the Nazi Party. For this action, she was awarded the Iron Cross, Second Class as a "Hero of the Fatherland" and gained closer access to Deputy Führer Melakon.
She helped Captain Kirk, Spock, and Isak stop Melakon from launching his genocidal "Final Decision" invasion against the planet Zeon, and end the Nazi regime. To do so, she urged Kirk to order the Enterprise to intercept the Ekosian invasion fleet and destroy it. However, Kirk objected to that distastefully violent option and managed to get Führer John Gill to cancel the attack instead.
Following the death of both Melakon and Gill, Chairman Eneg, urged the alien trio to leave, promising that the Ekosians must do the rest, with Daras explaining that the two would "go on the air" and "offer a new way for our people." (TOS: "Patterns of Force")
Daras was played by actress Valora Noland.
