Mandala Flynn was a Starfleet officer during the 23rd century.

In 2270, Lt. Cmdr. Flynn was assigned to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) as chief of security. During her time aboard the Enterprise she became known to be very efficient and constantly drilled those under her command. On a personal level she also became friends with Hikaru Sulu. (TOS novel: The Entropy Effect).

By 2285, Flynn had been promoted to Captain and was given command of the USS Magellanic Clouds, a long-range explorer that was given a mission to proceed to and explore the Andromeda Galaxy. (TOS novelizations: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
