Command Division: Rahman, commanding officer Mei'konda, first officer Xerix, helm/navigation officer Blair, strategic ops/intelligence officer Sciences Division: Wolfe, science officer Zhou, science officer Moonsong, cultural anthropologist Skyfire, chief medical officer Dugoras, ship's counselor Operations Division: Delano, operations officer & second officer Rosek, engineer Blake, chief of security/ranger Wrader, tactical and 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. Commander Mei'konda Mei'konda Rank: 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. Commander Alex Blair Alex Blair Rank: Commander Duty Post: Strategic Operations/Intelligence officer Age/Species/Sex: 39-year-old Human Male Birthplace: Earth Alex Blair grew up in the industry of technology so he could one day take over Blair Industries. Rather than go through with the corporate grooming, he enlisted in the SFMC when he turned 18. Since then, he has graduated from Starfleet Academy as an engineer and has risen through the ranks to Commander, holding the positions of engineer, assistant chief engineer, chief engineer, mission specialist, and first officer. Ensign Ghant Xerix Ghant Xerix Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Helm/Navigation Officer Age/Species/Sex: 28-year-old Risian/Betazoid male Birthplace: Betazed Son of the Third House of Betazed, Ghant Xerix grew up during the rebuilding of his homeworld. His mother had died fighting for their safety, and that had profound impact on Ghant’s sense of duty and desire to protect both Betazed and the rest of the Federation. However, being both Betazed and Risian means that Ghant definitely knows how to relax and is typically found leading the party when not on duty. Ensign Dallas Wolfe Dallas Wolfe Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Science Officer Age/Species/Sex: 31-year-old Human male Birthplace: Earth Born on Earth, Wolfe had a fairy standard childhood. Wolfe's father captained an ore freighter, and he joined him on runs to learn about the ship once he was old enough. His fifth run ended in disaster. the ship suffered a warp-core breach, and a nearby Starfleet ship came to the rescue. It arrived too late, however. Wolfe was the only survivor, shoved into an escape pod by his father before the ship went up. This inspired him to be the person on that Starfleet ship, so that next time, there wouldn't be just one survivor. He went to the academy at 18, graduated 12th in his class, and completed his cadet cruise before being assigned to Starbase 118's academy for final training. Ensign Harry Zhou Harry Zhou Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Science Officer Age/Species/Sex: 28-year-old Andorian male Birthplace: Andoria Harry Th’Yshrym Zhou was born to an Andorian family on Andoria. After his family members died when he was very young, he was adopted by Humans and moved to Earth with them. Harry joined Starfleet Academy after he graduated from high school in the year 2391, because he is an explorer, and is eager to visit as many planets as possible. Lt. Commander Raissa Moonsong Raissa Moonsong Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Cultural anthropologist 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 Commander Chythar Skyfire Chythar Skyfire Rank: Lieutenant Commander Duty Post: Chief Medical Officer Age/Species/Sex: 39-year-old Human Male Birthplace: Washington, Earth Chythar was born in Seattle, Washington and graduated from University of Washington as a Medical Doctor. Upon entering Starfleet Academy, he took several xenobiology courses and graduated with a science degree in xenobiology. Through most of his career he has held various positions in the medical department, both before and after his time in the red shirt. Lieutenant (junior grade) T'Katt Dugoras T'Katt Dugoras Rank: Lieutenant (junior grade) Duty Post: Counselor Age/Species/Sex: 44-year-old Klingon/Vulcan/Human (due to genetic modifications made at birth) male Birthplace: Decommissioned Starbase, edge of Vulcan space T'Katt Dugoras was born of a Klingon and Vulcan union, his birth was successful thanks to modifications made using Human genetic adaptations and surgery. Having been raised on both home worlds with each of his parents for a time exposed him to much in the ways of emotional and spiritual practice and turmoil. He often spends his time studying, researching, and lost in his thoughts and analyses; even so he remains a friendly and outgoing man, ready and willing to solve any problems he and the crew face. Lieutenant Commander Evan Delano Evan Delano Rank: Lieutenant Commander 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.

She was located in a bar winding down from a days work by Commander Zhou Tai-Sheng, and was assigned to the Veritas, initially as it's strategic operations officer. In 2394, Blake took a job with the Starfleet Rangers, and works as a regional support officer with an intimate knowledge of CCMS operations and piracy around Shadow's Edge. Now, as the ship moves away from the area, Blake is heading into unfamiliar waters. Ensign Marcus Wrader Marcus Wrader Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Tactical and Security officer Age/Species/Sex: 31-year-old Magna Roman Male Birthplace: Roma Marcus Wrader was born on Roma to a Terran father and member of Starfleet and a Magna Roman mother of aristocratic background. In rebellion against the protocols and cloying influence of his mother and enabled by his father's frequent, lengthy absences, Marcus explored the streets and joined a street gang that indulged in gladiatorial contests. He continued in this group until his mid-teens, earning scars and notoriety, until a chance encounter persuaded him to enter a preparatory school for the Academy. Graduating in the middle of his class due to his previously neglected studies, Marcus is known for primarily for his taciturn nature and formal speech.

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.
