Command Division: Rahman, commanding officer Mei'konda, first officer Fullus, helm officer Sciences Division: Sepek, science officer Ryan, chief medical officer Moonsong, ship's counselor Operations Division: Delano, operations officer Walker, chief engineer Greyson, asst. chief engineer Tuk, chief of security Sands, security officer Kelrod, SAR team leader Captain Roshanara Rahman Roshanara Rahman Rank: Captain Duty Post: Commanding Officer Age/Species/Sex: 44-year-old Kriosian female empathic metamorph Birthplace: Moselina IV Born away from the Kriosian homeworld, Roshanara's birth parents gave her up for adoption, and a human couple took her in, named her, and raised her back in Lahore, Earth. Often mistaken for a Trill due to her Kriosian spots, she joined Starfleet because of her interest in starship design, an interest that has not come without a cost as she was gravely injured early in her career from a major accident that required lengthy rehabilitation. She exhibits a dry and perhaps even cruel sense of humor. Previously a chief engineer, she employs a rather direct and assertive style of command and is working on her anger management. Lt. Commander Sky Blake Sky Blake Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: First Officer Age/Species/Sex: 38-year-old Brekkian/Betazoid female Birthplace: Kekorna, Seritona, Brekka Prior to her return to active service aboard the USS Veritas, Blake was found residing on the Ornaran homeworld, working with law enforcement to rid her area of residence of further crime incited by black market drug trade. She was located in a bar winding down from a days work by Commander Zhou Tai-Sheng, and was assigned to the Veritas as the ship's Strategic Operations Officer for the ongoing Operation Safe Harbor before being named first officer to Rahman. Lt. Commander Mei'konda Mei'konda Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: First Officer Age/Species/Sex: 36-year-old Mei'konda male Birthplace: Terra Nova Born to a scientist mother and a Starfleet father who later disappeared during the Battle of Wolf 359, Mei'konda grew up with stories of his father's heroism and worked hard to make it into Starfleet. He became an ambitious young officer who rose quickly through the ranks, becoming a department head on a large starship by the age of twenty-five. Mei'konda is completely devoted to Starfleet's ideals of peace and exploration, though he can be a little too rigid in his interpretation of regulations. His occasional lack of flexibility has been overlooked by more liberal commanding officers in the past due to his work ethic and intellect. Ensign Mattheus Fullus Mattheus Fullus Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Helm Officer Age/Species/Sex: 32-year-old Human male Birthplace: Australia, Earth Born on a farm, Mattheus had no intention of joining Starfleet. He was more interested in helping on the farm and nothing else. It wasn't until his father ordered him off the farm to go and find something else to do, due to his father's concern about Mattheus' wellbeing and potential to not amount to anything in life. After a few years of not finding something, he enrolled in Starfleet hoping to become a marine as that to him was a low-ranking position where he could not draw too much attention to himself and hopefully not have to assume too much authority. During training, he realised that he was being drawn more towards the bridge of the ship rather than the barracks and specifically the helm. It seemed to be a calling for him as he remembered driving the tractor on the farm and riding his bike, too. Could this be a way to get back to that enjoyment he felt then? Helm it was then. Ensign Sepek Sepek Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Science Officer Age/Species/Sex: 36-year-old Vulcan/Human male Birthplace: Vulcana Regar, Vulcan Sepek was born on Vulcan and never quite fit in right. Like most Vulcans, he learned to supress emotions and stick to logic, but unlike most Vulcans he was half human. He got tired of seeing the same desert landscape everyday. He yearned for the colors and uniqueness of alien worlds, so he joined Starfleet. Lieutenant Nikki Ryan Nikki Ryan Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Chief Medical Officer Age/Species/Sex: 37-year-old Human female Birthplace: Chicago, Earth The daughter of a civilian doctor killed by the Breen during the Dominion War, Nikki wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps while also honoring her memory and that of the Starfleet officers who sacrificed their lives to save Nikki on that same day. She became a doctor and joined Starfleet, only to later - due to personal reasons - decide to take a break from medicine to pursue a career as an engineer. After serving as chief engineer of the USS Syracuse, she returned to medicine to serve as chief medical officer of the Veritas. Lt. Commander Raissa Moonsong Raissa Moonsong Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Ship's Counselor Age/Species/Sex: 36-year-old Human/Betazoid female Birthplace: Leech Lake, North America, Earth Raissa grew up on Earth and due to her Betazoid grandmother was a touch empath. She originally desired to be a medical doctor, but the pain experienced by her patients became too much for her. She switched her focus to psychology and psychiatry. Unaware of certain quirk of her genetics, Raissa played host to several hundred minds of the Community. Her telepathic/empathic abilities spiked to T6. However, once they had left her body, her ability did not return to its normal range, and she remains a T/E 6. She now limits her interaction with others to block out other thoughts as well as to avoid reading people inadvertently. Despite this change, she remains a skilled counselor and always easy to talk to. Lieutenant Evan Delano Evan Delano Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Operations Officer Age/Species/Sex: 35-year-old Human/Vulcan male Birthplace: Albany, New York, Earth Born to a single mother on Earth, Evan had a troubled childhood made worse by unpredictable and sometimes violent mood swings. Under the guidance of a Vulcan mentor, Evan eventually found a functional, but imperfect balance between his aversion to Vulcan ideology, and the necessity of controlling his emotions. That, and a desire to prove himself, was enough to get Evan through the Academy. His first two years in Starfleet earned him a sterling record, and Evan quickly advanced to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and was well respected among his peers until Evan attacked an unarmed prisoner. After pleading guilty at his court martial, Evan eventually requested and was granted an indefinite leave of absence from Starfleet before heading off to the Shoals in pursuit of the Reya-Laialara. He returned to Starfleet in 2394 to join the Veritas crew. Lt. Commander Luna Walker Luna Walker Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Chief Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 43-year-old Romulan/Human female Birthplace: Romulus Lluneh (Luna) was born on Romulus but raised on Earth after her human ambassador father convinced her Romulan mother to defect. Not knowing this, she enjoyed a happy childhood until her father was murdered by the Tal Shiar. Frustrated at her brother's inability to prove the truth, she took it on herself to trick, sneak, or break in to do so. Caught one too many times, she joined Starfleet as an engineer, where her ability to creatively look at a problem was put to more positive outlets. While outgoing, friendly, and a bit of a prankster normally, she feels personally responsible for any discovered problems around her. Lieutenant JG Carter Greyson Carter Greyson Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Assistant Chief Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 32-year-old Human Male Birthplace: San Jose, California, Earth Carter was born on Earth, and his father indulged his love of Starfleet by obtaining publicly accessible records: namely documentaries made about the captains. He was fascinated by tactics and joined up to graduate as a tactical officer. Years later, he had a life-changing experience which influenced his career path toward becoming an engineer. As a result, he always keeps a tool kit strapped to his boot and says he never leaves his quarters without it. Lieutenant Hanar Tuk Hanar Tuk Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Chief of Security Age/Species/Sex: 32-year-old Bolian male Birthplace: Bolarus IX Hanar had a normal family life and childhood, and when he became of age, he joined his parents on their freighter for a number of years before choosing to break from tradition and join Starfleet, selecting security/tactical as his major. His favorite hobby is the culinary arts, having studied this on the side, and he soon became quite the accomplished chef, creating many recipes, both pure and mixed, from different worlds. This also served to satisfy a related love - eating, hence his slightly portly appearance. Despite this, he is remarkably fit and agile, necessary for security duties. His only shortfall is he lacks a significant other, which he would like to remedy, sooner than later. Lieutenant JG Elena Sands Elena Sands Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Security Officer Age/Species/Sex: 31-year-old Human female Birthplace: Earth Somewhat a loner, Elena isn't the sort to care for parties and prefers interactions on a smaller scale. Determined and stubborn, she's not one to mince words, and there have been times her bluntness has caused some conflict. Despite that, she's also loyal, never one to easily give up, and will do her duty. Commander Kelrod Kelrod Rank: Commander Duty Post: Search and Rescue (SAR) Team Leader Age/Species/Sex: 42-year-old Angosian/Betazoid male Birthplace: Deep Space 4 Son of a Betazoid Starfleet counselor and an Angosian war veteran, Marcus Dickens lived on Betazed after the death of his father and developed his empathic skills before joining Starfleet to honor his father and explore galaxy. Having served on many ships and with many captains, he’s a versatile person who loves science and is an easy going person, but when there’s work to be done, he’s the first to get onto it, which may be the reason why his wife asked for divorce. Now he’s starting a new life, carrying an ancient consciousness known as Kelrod within him.
