Background
|
Ceciri was born to a relatively simple family. Her mother was a politician, a cousin to the mainline Ariadust political dynasty, and her father was a miner. While her mother had hopes that her daughter would join her and strengthen her branch of the Ariadust dynasty, Ceciri showed a marked aptitude for engineering and mechanical repair. While her mother tried to push her more towards activities that would lead to success as a politician, her father subtly encouraged Ceciri's interest as he had seen from the mines how a good mechanic and engineer was valued.
From an early age, her mother's anti-Starfleet sentiments had caused her to take a blow with the events of Wolf 359 and Starfleet's subsequent response. While her mother had dampened her criticisms, many in the Cygnian government remembered that she had been advocating for lower spending for Federation defense. Consequently, she lost a lot of political power, and she irrationally blamed Starfleet for that even further. With the Dominion War (starting in 2373), her mother surprisingly advocated for more focus to be spent on Federation defense, as well as a general upgrade to Cygnian defenses in an attempt to revive her political fortunes by . During the upgrade plans, the surprise invasion and occupation of Betazed caused a panic within the Cygnian government, and her mother attempted to capitalize on it to revive her fortunes and advocate reducing manpower and resources sent to Starfleet. Unfortunately for her, her cousin Sharioni Ariadust deftly outmaneuvered her and turned it around, believing strongly that the problem was they sent too few personnel to Starfleet - even at the height of the Dominion War, the portion going offworld was still near .95%. In addition, now that the mainline government was heavily into emergency upgrades of their defense network and creating a mini starbase for the system, she was suddenly disgraced.
The death of Ceciri's father on SD 237510.01 shortly after the signing of the Treaty of Bajor left and her mother had no choice but to join their aunt's shipping venture. At the time, the entire venture was one ship that usually ran cargo, but would often also transport single passengers depending on need. This venture often ran around the Serellan Sector and to Starbase 118, but often ran to spinward directions and the outer colonies. Often operating outside the Federation coreworlds, Ceciri found her Engineering instincts tested and she became rapidly adept at the practicals of maintaining a cargo ship and starship repair. From 2375 to 2387, she gained more responsibility and became a relief pilot as well.
At the time, she had considered just to continue on her current path. While Ceciri had become very grateful for Starfleet during the years where she had to travel back and forth, she was enough of her mother's daughter to be deterred from joining them. However, in early 2387, the ship she was on was ambushed on a trade route just outside of Cardassian Space by pirates. Their cargo was stolen, and in the boarding action, her uncle died, and she, her cousin, and her aunt were grievously wounded.
And then, the pirates suddenly returned to their ship and attempted to escape. The USS Kitakaze had heard the distress call and was close enough to respond in time. Ceciri's next memory is of waking up in the sickbay of the Dakota-class ship. While they were able to save her and her aunt, her cousin was too far gone, and she died in surgery. Soon after, Ceciri resolved to join Starfleet and honor those who had protected her. Her mother was less than happy with this decision, as she blamed Starfleet for the ability of the pirates to attack.

Professional History
Starfleet Academy
Soon after her aunt's ship, the NGL Farseer, was severely damaged in the pirate attack, Ceciri took the entrance exams for Starfleet Academy. on after her aunt's ship, the NGL Farseer, was severely damaged in the pirate attack, Ceciri took the entrance exams for Starfleet Academy. Passing reasonably well in most areas, she was admitted as a cadet in the San Francisco, and immediately felt a bit lost. There are very few Cygnians in Starfleet - indeed very few outside the system itself. Couple that with being a bit older than the median age, and she really didn't make a lot of immediate friendships. While she slowly made a few, the fact she took a very demanding schedule means she had very few extra curricular activities. She did make an interesting one with one of her professors in the Astrographics department, as she was often the other one practicing with various bladed weapons and techniques.
But as she stayed in Starfleet Academy, she became more accustomed to life there, and began to force herself to be a bit more outgoing. While she wasn't the very top of her class, she applied herself to her studies, and between that, her practical experience on board a merchant ship and the occasional experiment she'd do, she excelled in her Engineering classes, and found herself drawn to the idea of crafting new technology, systems and components to improve starships. Picking that as her specialization, she graduated with a 3.64 GPA and found herself posted to the USS Constitution-B.
Onboard the USS Constitution-B
"I will never forget how I first boarded my first ship"
Ceciri first boarded the Constitution on the tail end of a mission. The ship was under medical quarantine and she had to board in an EVA suit. From what she gathered as the ship limped back to Deep Space 285, the ship had been invaded by malevolent energy beings. While she might have looked forward to some downtime to get to know her new shipmates, the senior staff was unexpectedly taken hostage on board the station in an apparent attack by the Maquis Reborn.
As the crew of the Constitution worked to find out more information about what is going on, Ceciri was tricked by a saboteur - and if someone else hadn't caught it, could have severely compromised her ship. As it is, her failure to detect the saboteur cost her a broken arm, and the pain from it while Ceciri worked to help defend the ship. Thankfully, they prevailed, but the terrorists still got away with the data they had mined from the ship, and as it turned out the station as well. Before she could reflect on what this meant, the Prometheus Incident happened, and they were sent to find the Thomas Edison all the way over at DSX. With such an event came changes to the fleet, and with several officers being transferred off, Ceciri found herself being reassigned as the HCO officer of the Constitution. It was.. an interesting change.
As they found the Thomas Edison, they too were trapped in an interphase rift. Ceciri saw herself dead, for example, and working with Seff they designed a method to counter the alternate bubbles, by sending a pulse set to the harmonic inverse of the emitted chronotons. However, they were unable to save the Thomas Edison, now infected with a bioweapon from an alternate universe. Working with the transporter chiefs, she was able to recover the away teams after a few false starts, and they started working on a cure. This ultimately turned out to not be in time, and she was barely able to get the Constitution out of the rift before it closed, taking the Thomas Edison with it. A technical success, but a mission that felt like failure, they returned to DSX.
Onboard the USS Doyle-A
Transferred soon after their return to DSX, Ceciri became the HCO officer of the USS Doyle-A
