About the Writer


Edit this nav

Koa Iolani is a 19 year old Terran currently serving as a Stellar Cartography Technician aboard the USS Veritas.

As a child, Koa dreamed of becoming an explorer and discovering strange new life. But instead of looking to the stars, Koa's dreams took him to the sea. Born in Pearl City, just west of Honolulu, Koa spent much of his childhood haunting the beaches and surrounding waters of Hawaii. At the age of 13, he became the youngest member of the Pacific Island Olympic surfing team, which won gold and bronze medals during the 2386 and 2390 Olympic Games. At age 16, Koa became the first person in more than three decades to solo the journey from Hawaii to San Francisco in a small sailing vessel.

Despite these achievements, and a genuinely bright mind, Koa had trouble applying himself in school. When he completed secondary school in 2391, it was with an average grades. His applications to Earth's top Oceanology programs were rejected. Under the guidance of his parents, who had both served in Starfleet for more than a decade before Koa was born, the young man decided to enlist to gain experience and prove his worth. When he completes his tour of duty in 2397, Koa plans to return to Earth to once again pursue his dream.

Summary

Koa enlisted in Starfleet just one month after completing secondary school. As a recruit, he worked hard to prove his worth, and showed considerable aptitude with a variety of scientific instruments commonly used on starships. To nurture this, Koa's training officer focused the second half of his tenure at Starfleet Academy on learning how to properly maintain and calibrate sensors, particularly for deep space stellar cartography labs.
He received his posting to USS Veritas in mid-2393, where he currently serves as one of three Stellar Cartography Technicians.
