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. Lt. Commander Lael Rosek-Skyfire Lael Rosek Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: First Officer Age/Species/Sex: 32-year-old Al-Leyan/Human female Birthplace: Cedar Springs, Michigian, Earth An expert in her field, Lael graduated from the Daystrom Institute of Technology with a Doctorate of Engineering, Biomechanical specialization. She spent the early part of her career in equal parts as both a Helm officer and an Engineer, serving aboard the Veritas for a year before being offered the Chief Engineer position. After three months in the position, she was given orders to join Commander Mei'konda aboard the Montreal as his first officer. A brief of her dissertation on spinal injury, genetronics and nanotechnology was recently published in the Starfleet Medical Journal. In her spare time, she enjoys active pursuits and is a Jiu-Jitsu coral belt. She also practices Mukhol, an Al-Leyan martial art. Lieutenant JG Tiria Hamasaki Tiria Hamasaki Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Chief of Helms/Operation Age/Species/Sex: 35-year-old Human Female Birthplace: Havley's Hope Tiria Hamasaki was born in the Shoals, and left them to see the galaxy. Granted, she didn't see much as an investigator for Federation Security, and eventually chose to join Starfleet. Then.. her first posting was back in the Shoals. It seemed appropriate to her, as her luck has often been topsy-turvy like that. Still, Tiria is a cheerful woman who spends her spare time dancing and reenacting detective stories, in between her duties and keeping up to date with hand held qualifications. After all, someone has to help the inner worlders out here in the Shoals, and it might as well be her. Lieutenant Riley Delar Riley Delar Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Mission Specialist Age/Species/Sex: 42-year-old Male Birthplace: Dahkur Province, Bajor Riley Delar was conscripted into the Bajoran militia at the age of 11.

Commander Tal Tel-ar Tal Tel-ar Rank: Commander Duty Post: Strategic Operations Age/Species/Sex: 48-year-old Andorian Male Birthplace: Unknown Cmdr. Tal Tel-ar may be an Andorian but he is one with no family or clan connections to his people. In fact his name given to him by the Kethni Council on Andor following his rescue from a primitive pre-industrial world as a teen was Tal Tel-ar which translates as "Outcast, Renegade, One who has been Banished". No Andorian will have any reaction to him except negative. Given to Starfleet once the Andorian government had finished civilizing the barbarian he was warned to never set foot on Andor again. Since he graduated from the Academy he has been a member of Starfleet, always the outsider, almost more Vulcan than a Vulcan in some ways but capable of incredible acts of violence and strength. Nicknamed Big Blue by others he remains to this day a stoic, rock, normally unshaken by anything and willing to risk it all in the name of duty and honor. Lieutenant Junior Grade Kawakame Shin Kawakame Shin Rank: Lieutenant Junior Grade Duty Post: Security/Tactical Officer Age/Species/Sex: 33-year-old Human Male Birthplace: Koyoto, Japan, Earth Shin is an outspoken and somewhat grossly overconfident person but in times of crisis has proven himself to be a flexible and trustworthy officer. He served on the USS Wyoming for three years where he got his first promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade. Not long into serving as an LTJG he was offered a position as a Security/Tactical officer on board the USS Montreal, which was assigned to a very unique area of space known as the Shoals. With a natural inclination to explore and a fascination with new discoveries he quickly agreed to the new assignment, hoping it would lead him to great adventures. Lieutenant Jacob Harkrow Jacob Harkrow Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Chief Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 30-year-old Human Male Birthplace: Markab Settlement, Markab Prime Jacob "Cob" Harkrow grew up on the Federation colony world of Markab Prime, the son of second-generation settlers. He left to join Starfleet at age 19, eager to experience life beyond the quiet, isolated settlement at the edge of Federation space.

His assignment to the USS Astraeus is his second posting.

By the time she came of age, she decided the best way to learn more about alien beings and to get a much better view of the universe was to join Starfleet. At the Academy, Sotak was fascinated by diversity in the galaxy, and tried to comprehend each species as best as she could. Sotak had a double major in science, with specializations on Linguistics and Xenology. Ensign James Wright James Wright Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 29-year-old Human Male Birthplace: Los Angeles, California, Earth As long as he could remember James was always fascinated by deep space.

He was always a big joker which got him into a bit of trouble in his academy years. Lieutenant German Galven German Galven Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Chief Science Officer Age/Species/Sex: 37-year-old Denobulan/Human Male Birthplace: Denobula Due to his sister being abducted by the Borg at an early age, German Galven has taken upon himself before attending the Academy to figure out anything he could do to get her back. His mother is a Quantum Physicist who took German to her science lab and he quickly picked up on it. Through science and willpower German dedicates himself to his work proficiently. He graduated with three majors; Quantum Mechanics, Temporal Mechanics, and Xenobiology. He served on the USS Veritas before being transferred to the USS Montreal under the command of Commander Mei'konda. Lieutenant JG Stennin Stennin Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Science Officer Age/Species/Sex: 58-year-old Vulcan Male Birthplace: Born on Vulcan in 2343, Stennin was interested in science from a young age.

Ensign Solasta Awatto Solasta Awatto Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Science Officer Age/Species/Sex: 30-year-old Denobulan / Human hybrid Female Birthplace: USS Progrediamur Born on the USS Progrediamur, a Starfleet Science vessel, Solasta was born to a Terran Mother and a Denobulan father. With this combination, life was never dull nor lonely. Growing up on the ship that her parents worked on along with her siblings, provided ample opportunities for Solasta to learn as much as she could through the work that her parents did and what her teachers were able to teach her. With Denobulan family dynamics at the forefront, Solasta and her siblings were provided with many opportunities to travel off ship to various planets of her Co-mothers and explore different regions of space. This began to fuel her interests in plants and cultures of different planets, and lead to her entering StarFleet. Solasta may appear to be a bit scatterbrain at times, but give her the opportunity to pull pranks, she'll be the one you'll warm up to quickly. Lt. Commander Solok Solok Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Chief Medical Officer Age/Species/Sex: 97-year-old Vulcan Male Birthplace: Vulcan Solok was born on Vulcan and educated in accord with Vulcan ideals, but, as the son of a Vulcan diplomat, his childhood was spent between his home planet and Earth.

Since that time, Solok has served in Medical, Science, and Operations aboard various vessels in the fleet, although his primary expertise is in pathology, immunology, and xenovirology. He is a Master of the Vulcan mental disciplines, and a Kolinahr disciple. Ensign Sheila Bailey Sheila Bailey Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Medical Officer Age/Species/Sex: 30-year-old Elaysian Female Birthplace: Elaysia II Sheila Bailey grew up on the Elaysian home world of Elaysia II and always knew she would one day take the slightly risky step of leaving. Never once however did she ask for unnecessary help; she had to be able to do things for herself if she wanted to become a successful Starfleet Doctor. During the academy she studied both medicine and engineering. Overall Sheila Bailey is a confident woman ready to defend the crew she works with. And despite the use of an exoskeleton and crutches she is more than capable of doing any task sent her way. Throw in a little humor and your in for a good time.
