Command Division: Rahman, commanding officer Delano, first officer Blake, second officer Hamasaki, helm officer Operations Division: Alse, operations officer Kelrod, chief of security G'var, assistant chief of security Teller, chief engineer Ukinix, assistant chief engineer Vanlith, engineer Sciences Division: Moonsong, science officer El Sayid, science officer del Vedova, chief medical officer MacKenzie, assistant chief medical officer Orrey, counselor 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 Evan Delano Evan Delano Rank: Commander Duty Post: First 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 Sky Blake Sky Blake Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Second Officer Age/Species/Sex: 38-year-old Brekkian/Betazoid female Birthplace: Brekka A widow and mother of two children, Sky 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. Now, comfortable in her Starfleet boots as the ship's second officer, Blake seeks to bring her daughter home from the Delos system by using her ties to the Eleventh House of Betazed — though her declining health makes this increasingly harder to accomplish. Lieutenant Tiria Hamasaki Tiria Hamasaki Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Pilot Age/Species/Sex: 35-year-old Human female Birthplace: Frosthome, Havley's Hope. Tiria was born on Havley's Hope, and has spent most of her adult life trying to stay out of the Shoals, but in a cosmic twist of fate, she keeps getting assigned there. Moving from Federation Security to Starfleet, Tiria's life has been on an uneven keel since the accident that broke her spine in 2391, but she has worked to recover her equilibrium since then. While she has interests in operations and engineering, her first love in joining Starfleet is always piloting things, and occasionally, designing things. Ensign Tahlin Alse Tahlin Alse Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Operations officer Age/Species/Sex: 32-year-old El-Aurian male Birthplace: Imperial State of Maravel Born to El-Aurians on Maravel before spending the rest of his childhood on Cardassia Prime, Tahlin has always found himself living among aliens and their cultures using his people's ability to 'listen' to acclimate himself. Elegant, brisk, contemplative and secretive, Tahlin is a product of his upbringing among the elite of the Cardassian Union during its years of rebuilding after the devastation of the Dominion War. A dual citizen of the Federation and the Cardassian Union, Tahlin never the less had little room for advancement on Cardassia Prime and joined Starfleet on the encouragement of his tutors at the Central University. After a brief stint in Starfleet, Tahlin returned to Earth to complete his doctorate and retraining as an operations specialist before being assigned to the Veritas in mid 2396. Commander Kelrod Kelrod Rank: Commander Duty Post: Chief of Security 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. Lieutenant G'var G'var Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Assistant Chief of Security Age/Species/Sex: 31-year-old Klingon female Birthplace: Boreth Born a Metagenic Klingon, G'var struggled with her anger at an early age. Her parents unable to handle a child who had the strength of two grown Klingons and sent G'var to study at the r'tek of Boreth. There, G'var was initiated as an Acolyte of Kahless. By her teen years, G'var had became disillusioned with the Clerics and hopped a freighter as a crewman. She enlisted in Starfleet at 19 as an able crewman. G'var was awarded the opportunity to attend Starfleet Academy at the age of 21 - and during her four years at the Academy, G'var re-embraced her spirituality and the teachings of Kahless to help her focus and control her anger and strength. G'var still struggles to keep her anger in check. Lt. Commander Geoffrey Teller Geoffrey Teller Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Chief Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 30-year-old Human male Birthplace: Archer IV Parents refugees from the Dominion War who re-settled on Archer IV to provide their son with a chance at a peaceful life, Geoffrey John Teller great up in the heart of a sprawling Federation colony. He had a penchant for disassembling any piece of technology left unattended, and by his sixth birthday he could usually reassemble them without major calamity. After apprenticing at the local shipyards and becoming one of their youngest certified transphasic welding techs, GJ earned the nickname 'GoodJob' for the constant high standard of his work. GJ decided he needed a new direction in his life following his parents untimely death, and applied to Starfleet Academy. His innate problem solving and mechanical skills were a huge boon, but some of the more advanced and subtle disciplines were a constant challenge and GJ often feels he still has a great deal to learn. Lieutenant Wil Ukinix Wil Ukinix Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Assistant Chief Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 31-year-old Human/Betazoid male Birthplace: Freemantle, Australia, Earth Wil was born and raised in Fremantle, Australia, to a half Human/Betazoid father, and Human mother. Wil wanted to join Starfleet from a young age, to be like his mother who was a Starfleet tactical officer. He inherited his Betazoid grandfather's empathic abilities (which Wil keeps to himself), and even though he received counselling in his late teen years to cope with them, they can make him anxious at times. Wil has a wicked, cheeky sense of humour, and likes to make light of most situations - which isn't always well accepted by others. Lieutenant JG Charlena Vanlith Charlena Vanlith Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 28-year-old Risian female Birthplace: Suraya Bay, Risa Born and raised in Suraya Bay Charlena, named after her father, is used to the typical quiet serenity except for the one time a year where tourism spikes drastically for Lohlunat. It was during these celebrations and her upbringing around tourists that lead to her fascination as to what else was out there in the universe. Despite her typical averageness at school she put so much work and focus into engineering she past one of the top of her class and she couldn't be happier about it. She left with an engineering major with an extra minor in xenobiology. She was finally going to start the job she had dreamed of. And she was going to start on USS Veritas as an engineering officer working for the greater good. 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 JG Nabihah El Sayid Nabihah El Sayid Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Science officer Age/Species/Sex: 32-year-old Human female Birthplace: Ramallah, Earth Raised on Earth by a man of faith and a woman of science. As a young girl she had a personal experience that reconciled these two points of view and she decided that she would one day explore the stars. Before applying to Starfleet Academy, Nabihah had already earned her Master's degree in Astrophysics at Tel Aviv University and a solid understanding of complex sciences. Commander Niccolò del Vedova Niccolò del Vedova Rank: Commander Duty Post: Chief Medical Officer Age/Species/Sex: 42-year-old Human male Birthplace: Australia, Earth After the destruction of the hospital ship under his command, the USS T'Setain, del Vedova requested reassignment to a non-command position. He was then assigned as a diplomatic officer on the ship of his old friend Roshanara Rahman, the USS Veritas, where he served for about six months before pursuing and being granted a transfer back to medical. Lieutenant Addison MacKenzie Addison MacKenzie Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Assistant Chief Medical Officer Age/Species/Sex: 36-year-old Human female Birthplace: Cambridge, Massachusetts, Earth Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Addison MacKenzie is one of the leading specialists in Microsurgery in Starfleet. A non-traditional officer, MacKenzie was educated at some of Earth's finest institutions, earning degrees in sociology, archaeology and epidemiology, and completed a medical fellowship in microsurgery before attending Starfleet Academy. It is her hope to one day become Chief of Surgery at Starfleet Medical.
