Lieutenant Commander '''Sky Blake''' serves as a [[Starfleet Rangers|Starfleet ranger]] for the [[Bajak Laut Sector]].
:''This page refers to Prime Blake. You may be looking for [[Sky Blake (hologram)]] or [[Sky Blake (alternate)]].''
Skyleena '''Blake''' is a half [[Brekkian]], half [[Betazoid]] serving as Vice Chief of the [[Colonial Coalition Marshals Service]].  


Of [[Brekkian]] and [[Betazoid]] heritage, born on the Brekkian homeworld of Delos IV, Blake is the widow of Lieutenant [[Sabor]], and mother of two children ([[Faith Blake|Faith]] and [[Ayden Blake]]). She is related to the [[Eleventh House of Betazed]] through her mother [[Lila Cole]], though isn't enthralled in the Betazoid politics surrounding the noble Houses.
She previously served as a Starfleet officer aboard the {{USS|Challenger|A}}, {{USS|Ronin}}, {{USS|Mercury}}, {{USS|Avandar}}, {{USS|Vigilant}}, {{USS|Syracuse}}, and {{USS|Veritas}}, earning the rank of Commander. She retired from active service in mid-2398.

[[File:SkyBlake4.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Blake in 2397.]]
Blake is a humanoid of [[Brekkian]] and [[Betazoid]] descent, sharing emerald green eyes with her Brekkian father but lacks any notable Brekkian features. She is 5'10 and sports short blonde hair, just long enough to be tied back. She wears three rings on her right hand, denoting her marriage to [[Sabor]], placed on her thumb (a plain copper band), second (a plain gold band), and fourth (a stainless steel band with emerald gemstone) fingers, respectively.


===Early life===
Because she is part Brekkian, Blake's body temperature is higher than that of the average humanoid. Her skin is surprisingly warm if not hot to touch. She often wears layers when operating aboard Federation vessels, adding additional pieces to her uniform to remain warm in what are otherwise regular temperate environments. She may even go so far as to wear thick thermal clothing to replace parts of her uniform or add more layers underneath it.  
In January 2391, Sky Blake awoke in a Brekkian medical facility with no recollection of the previous 15 years of her life, or that of her husband Sabor and their two children - one of which had only recently been born. With nowhere else to go, she reluctantly accepts Sabor’s offer to stay with him for at least a few days. As time passes, she grows more trusting of Sabor, as she begins to understand the telepathic bond between them.  


The following four months sees Sabor update Blake on the current events occurring in the quadrant and her history and time in Starfleet as they rekindle their relationship. Though she re-accepts his proposal to marry him, she refuses to leave her home world, and Sabor is unwilling to force the issue. This choice ultimately results in Sabor’s death, as the two become caught in a fire-fight between the Brekkian military and an extremist group attempting to destroy an [[Ornaran]] embassy. Sabor is mistakenly shot by military personnel, fatally wounded, and is pronounced deceased on stardate 239105.01.
She will wear comfortable form-fitting clothing when dressing outside of duty. Usually consists of brightly coloured, but otherwise plain clothing — typically a t-shirt and shorts. Blake thrives in hot climates and enjoys this casual getup when possible. Outside of her quarters, and in temperatures under 30 degrees, she is not known to allow much exposure of her skin, and she will wear well-fitted, long-sleeve shirts with a neckline no lower than her collar bone. If it is still too cold, she will resort to wearing thick thermal skins designed to retain her body temperature, and gloves if necessary.


Days later, still in shock and without an adequate support network, Blake leaves her two children with her mother on Brekka, believing them to be better off without her—abandoning them to live a solitary life on Ornara as she comes to terms with Sabor’s death.

===2392===
{{Quote|You're a widow, Commander. Born out of ash and fire with just five years of life under your belt. The things that scare you are complex - they are very real problems. But some of us are simply spooked by a darkened corridor.|[[Kallo Ver]], ''[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/ez00yltV8fM/Sb0oCjlkCgAJ "The unordinary man of the Shoals."]''}}
 
[[Zhou Tai-Sheng]] finds Blake living on the [[Ornaran]] homeworld in 2392, working with law enforcement to rid her area of residence of further crime incited by black market drug trade. She is approached in a bar winding down from a days work—after some minor convincing, she agrees to assist the {{USS|Veritas}} with Brekkian drug cartels around [[Meridian]], and was assigned to the ''Veritas'' as the ship’s strategic operations officer for the ongoing [[Operation Safe Harbor]] under the provisional rank of Lieutenant Commander. With no clear recollection of her Starfleet experience, she studies and receives on-the-job training by the ''Veritas'' crew.


She clashes continuously with special operations officer [[Brandon Cormac]], as their two positions are suspiciously similar. The two reconcile their differences, however, and move their offices on ''Veritas'' closer together on deck 6, branching off from the ship’s CIC. Later that year, she accidentally walks in on Cormac with [[Elis Nacubaq]] during an intimate moment, though she's not fazed by the incident, going so far as to even laugh Elis off when he apologises.
Blake's life revolves near-exclusively around her job in the [[Shoals]]. Her position aboard the ''Veritas'' and her role as a Starfleet Ranger provided her with a purpose she didn't have prior to re-joining [[Starfleet]]. She takes threats to the [[Shoals]] region incredibly seriously and becomes frustrated when her fellows (especially those in Starfleet]] don't show the same level of commitment to the rules and regulations of the areas—such as [[Kelrod]] discharging a phaser to stop an escalating physical conflict in a [[Ketar V]] establishment, which ultimately lands he, [[Wil Ukinix]], and Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]] in Colonial Coalition Marshals holding cells. Comparatively, when an officer is untrusting of the Marshals, Blake becomes equally frustrated, regardless of whether she knows they are right in their assumptions (as is the case with [[Hannibal Parker]]).  


After a few months with a provisional rank, Captain [[Rosa Carrero]] grants her the rights and privileges of Lieutenant Commander.
Blake prefers an advisory role specifically in the Shoals — which is the reason she was re-recruited back to Starfleet in 2392. She even admits to Rahman that she doesn't ''like'' being aboard starships because of the ongoing impact the environment has on her ill-suited physical health, but continued to serve for the positive influence the purpose of service provides for her mental health. To some, Blake may have been a controversial choice of executive officer for {{USS|Veritas}}. She is highly critical of Starfleet as an organisation, perceiving its current operations as being a flawed result of increased paranoia following the events of the Dominion War.  


===2393===
Blake sometimes struggles to "switch off" from her duties, making it hard for others to connect with her on a personal level. Some may find it easier to only engage with Blake on duty, but with persistence, it is possible to break through her all-work-no-play psyche, revealing an easy-going woman. She surrounds herself deliberately with colour, having subscribed rather heavily into Ornaran colour psychology, and is considerably bright and charismatic when faced with relaxed social settings. Blake is strict with herself and tries her best to abide by social norms, rules, and laws of other cultures or colonies.


On stardate 239307.21, Blake is lent to [[Peaceforce Five]], and posted to the {{USS|Syracuse}} under the command of [[Roshanara Rahman]] following reports of suspicious activity involving [[Voreic Industries]] in the Menthar Corridor. The first week of her stay proves uneventful, but the ''Syracuse'', assigned as a support vessel to the {{USS|Invicta}}, is caught in conflicts surrounding [[Adovan]] territory, one involving [[Titus Vassily]].  
Blake will ask questions and press for more information when she feels she does not have all the answers she requires, though admittedly becomes frustrated if others refuse to provide them. When required to make decisions, she prefers all have had their say first so that she can determine a course of action based on the information provided — though she has on occasion been known to make rash, ill-thought-out decisions when the crew is on a time crunch, possibly explaining her constant need for information.


After both crews resolve the incident, she ignores all requests to assist a small task force formed by Starfleet Intelligence to examine all records pertaining to Vassily intending to locate and capturing him, claiming an irritation of Starfleet’s inattention to the Federation’s local problems.
If irritated, she becomes cold and blunt. However, she will not raise her voice when speaking to others.


{|class=infobox width=200 align=right
Blake has struggled to set down roots and maintains homesteads in several different locations—including on [[Brekkian#Home World|Delos IV]], [[Shadow's Edge]], and [[Meridian]]. Though not originating from the Shoals, she is rather "patriotic" about the area, going so far as to demand the [[Colonial Coalition]] flag in her official Starfleet portrait.

She remains on [[Astrofori One]] during the ''Syracuse'' shore leave, and along with Zhou, assists the ''Syracuse'' and ''Invicta'' crews in refurbishing the {{USS|Venture}}. On its way home from a parade, the ''Venture'' is thrown into the mid-2200s, coming up against the [[ma:Planet killer|Doomsday machine]]—during this period, Blake acts as the ''Venture'''s First Officer.

|quote  =
'''[[Zhou Tai-Sheng|Zhou]]:''' You’ve always been uncomfortable when you’ve met people from that “other” Sky’s past. The familiarity foreign to you.


Safely returned to their home time of 2393, she was placed on a six-month leave of absence to spend time with her family, of whom she’d been estranged from with little contact for over two years. Blake moves her children’s residence to [[Bintac]], collecting [[Sabor]]’s ashes from Brekka and returning them to his family.
In this regard, Zhou had been lucky. He’d never heard of or met Sky Blake before his mission to go find her on Ornara and recruit her help when Veritas had been tasked with dealing with Brekkian drug smuggler pushing felicium into the Shoals. Perhaps that was why she’d been willing to let him get so close.


Five months into her leave of absence, she returned to the Shoals and headed directly for [[Shadow's Edge]] to assist the small research settlement of Cakapunnual with ending hostile raids on their resources, working closely with colonial marshal [[Tydo]]. Shortly before being recalled to the ''Veritas'', Blake takes possession of a two hundred-year-old [[ma:EM pistol|EM-33 plasma pistol]], of which had been smuggled into the settlement illegally, intending to locate its origin within the Shoals.  
'''Zhou:''' I don’t think this is as much about being offended as it is you worried you’re going to find out more about who you really were once… and maybe not living up to that. ::He shrugged.:: Or maybe just finding out how much you’ve changed.


When patrolling the main colony with Lieutenant [[Elena Sands]], news of Carrero’s death broke. Blake immediately contacted the ''Veritas'', recalling the crew members on the planet back to the vessel, before it was recalled to [[Star Station Esperance]] for a new captain. Blake would arrange a memorial service for Carrero along their journey back to their pseudo home base.
'''Blake:''' I’ve heard about the woman I was. ::She shook her head.:: I didn’t like her very much.

Upon return to Esperance, Zhou was reassigned to the star station, while Blake was given the role of the ''Veritas'' First Officer, one of the few bridge crew officers not to be reassigned when Captain Roshanara Rahman took command. During this time, Blake worked with Counselor [[Raissa Moonsong]] and Chief Engineer [[Luna Walker]] during the transition.
Despite her committed relationship to [[Rairen Caide]], Blake still wears three rings denoting her marriage to [[Sabor]], her [[Vulcan]] bond-mate who was killed in 2391, on her right-hand thumb, second, and fourth fingers. Though she is protective of her children and their privacy, she frequently entrusts others to watch over them when she is not available—which is often the case for her son [[Ayeden Blake|Ayeden]], who has had countless guardians over the last two years alone.


===2394===
If faced with information about her life prior to her amnesia, Blake will recoil and immediately attempt to retract herself from the situation. She fears her "past life" and does not wish to be someone she is not. She encourages [[Tristam Core]] to delete [[Sky Blake (hologram)|a holographic version of herself]], adamant that a second Sky Blake (from years ago) is of no benefit to anyone, and considers the hologram as nothing more than a dangerous ghost.
 
Blake is involved in a minor confrontation with [[Tydo]] when tasked with finding evidence and potentially provide a list of suspects. With Walker, [[Kessa T'Dara]], and [[Carter Greyson]], they found wiped security logs and cut power lines - evidence Blake initially thought the [[Coalition Marshals]] of Shadow’s Edge had tampered with. T’Dara is injured when exposed to an electrical current, and the team reconvenes on the Veritas. When Sky cannot contact Captain Rahman and her team on the surface, she pulls the crew back to the ship, concerned for the captain’s wellbeing.
 
Blake was part of the team that boarded what was left of the cargo vessel Falcon. When clues regarding the party responsible for the Falcon’s demise arose, Blake and [[Evan Delano]] spoke of the known exploits of the [[Kos'karii]], a large band of Klingon pirates that operated within the Shoals, also supplying the crew with information of the Kos’karii leader known as [[Jilor]].
 
Later, Blake would speak to [[Mei'konda]] about her frustration with the Federation Security and Starfleet Administration, believing that Delano’s information would have assisted the ''Veritas'' and its operations. Angered that instead of working as a unit, Starfleet, Federation Security, and the Colonial Marshals continued to knock heads against each other. She would assist Mei’konda in interrogating the Falcon’s survivor Sov, a Klingon who was once a crew member of a Kos’karii vessel.
 
Blake, along with crew members from both the ''Veritas'' and [[Star Station Esperance]], crewed the shuttle that transferred Rosa Carrero's to her transport home.
 
In mid-2394, Blake steps down from her position as First Officer, instead recommending [[Mei'konda]] as her replacement, and takes a position with the [[Starfleet Ranger]]s. Required to complete what is essentially a 'crash course', she is sent to the [[Embassy of Duronis II]], where she undergoes weapons checks and hand-to-hand combat assessments by the Embassy's marines (namely [[Hannah Martinez]]). She is confronted by [[Hannibal Parker]], whom served with her prior to her amnesia, and though she remembers next to nothing about him, she re-establishes a friendship with him. After three days and a successful training course, she sets off back to the Shoals as a regional support officer.
 
[[Image:BlakeOutpost3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|On [[Outpost 3]].]]
 
Upon arrival at [[Star Station Esperance]] and awaiting a connecting transport ship to take her back to Shadow’s Edge, Blake is asked by [[Elis Nacubaq]] to check on [[Brandon Cormac]], who at the time is stationed on [[Outpost 3]] as mission security, and had missed comm check. Upon arriving, Blake finds the outpost crippled almost beyond repair, with Cormac being the only survivor after ten days alone after the attack. She takes him back to Shadow’s Edge, where he resigns from Starfleet, and Blake continues to work with him when he becomes a Coalition Marshal.
 
By 239409, notified by a Starfleet Intelligence officer that two suspects of a murder investigation handed to her by a Marshal official, have since escaped Shadow’s Edge, Cormac urges her to return to the ''Veritas'', hoping the ship’s resources may assist her with tracking them.
 
The ''Veritas'' comes across [[Outpost 3]] to check on [[Tristam Core]]’s progress in repairing the outpost after the Klingon attack. Stashes of [[ma:Felicium|felicium]] are found hidden behind bulkheads, and after weeks analyzing and about to destroy it, Blake along with [[Nikki Ryan]], [[Sepek]], and a civilian engineer are arrested by the Klingon crew of the IKS ''Dennas'', and incurs “minor” injury. Captain Rahman has them released shortly after, and the crew are required to work with the Klingons for the duration of their time at the outpost.
 
In late 239412, Zhou Tai-Sheng escorts Blake’s son, Ayden Blake, to the ''Veritas''—and remains aboard.
 
===2395===
 
Early in 2395, Blake is asked to assist with the development of [[Bupirninyirring]] on [[Kidman I]]. Just three days into it's life, the settlement is attacked by a minor faction of pirates&mdash;Blake suffers minor cranial injuries during the skirmish, though among the stolen items was the H.A.N.N.E.Z.&mdash;[[Rodulan]] technology that was meant to be implemented into the Shoals' new "3G" communications network, used to power com signals through heavy tetryon interference. Core treats her injury as they follow the pirates.
 
The pirates realizing that the two Starfleet officers followed them only for the H.A.N.N.E.Z., Blake and Core are lured into a malfunctioning escape pod with the large component, and ejected out into space. They are eventually rescued by a civilian vessel. and taken back to Kidman I, were the component is properly installed.
 
After the crew of the ''Veritas'' rescue the {{USS|Astraeus}}, a [[Galaxy class]] vessel that banked in the Shoals, Blake arrests it's captain, Victor Yeager, for violating general order three and the travel legislation of the Bajak Laut sector, having been forbidden to to so earlier by [[Kelrod]].
 
She joins [[Roshanara Rahman]] and [[Lael Rosek]] aboard the {{USS|Atlantis}}, reuniting with Parker, and meets [[Kamela Allison]] and [[Boris Hendon]] of the [[Duronis II Embassy]].
 
When Blake returns, she suffers a minor seizure, resulting in the loss of memory (including most of the events aboard the Atlantis), and is placed on a week's medical leave and light duties for a following fortnight. During this time, [[Kallo Ver]] is arrested and held in the ''Veritas'' brig, having destroyed his civilian vessel mere kilometres away from the ''Veritas'' and [[Star Station Esperance]]. She's asked by Rahman to join them as they interrogate Kallo, and he reveals that [[Kallo Ver & The Hunt for the Lost Romulan Treasure Fleet (Veritas)|he had located a lost Romulan treasure fleet]].
 
On stardate 239506.01, Rahman reassigns Blake to be the Chief of Security for the Veritas, the first time Blake had ever held a department head position (not including her brief period as her First Officer). However, when the ship encounters the [[Borg]], she fails to properly lead her department, resulting in multiple Borg drones managing to infiltrate the Veritas and assimilate certain parts of the ship. When giving her report to [[Evan Delano]], she expresses feeling inadequate for the position - to which the man responds with his first mission as Chief of Security aboard the {{USS|Garuda}}, leaving her feeling a little better.
 
Following an easy-going shore leave, Detective [[Sidney Ripley]] joins the Veritas when a group of miners on [[Havley's Hope]] go missing. Blake is sent down with Delano and [[Lorian Lovar]] to talk with the missing peoples' families and colleagues and investigate where they lived and the surrounding area. They turn up very little, though Sky provokes a mother missing their partner to encourage the group of victims to assist them and have hope that those missing will be located. Following this, they return to the ship.
 
An away team go missing mid-transport with all immediate efforts to locate or diagnose what happened to them failing. Upon realization by the Engineering crew that they may have been beamed away with a subspace transporter, Blake is ordered back to the Bridge to scan for [[Lael Rosek]], the only [[Al-Leyan]] known to be in the area.
 
Blake is among those present when [[Jhalib Ekal]] introduces himself. Though she is personally unsure as to why, Blake trusts the time-traveler without question, and stays nearby when he assists the crew in locating potential sabotage from the [[Temporal Integrity Commission]] of the 25th century. During this time, she accompanies [[Evan Delano]], [[G'var]] and [[Alora DeVeau]] to the {{USS|Artemis}}, which had been rendered mostly inoperable, and discovered that it was indeed missing portions of it's cargo. The ''Veritas'' faces a stand-off with [[Tholian]] forces, but the situation is ultimately resolved peacefully.
 
However, shortly after this encounter, the Temporal Integrity Commission's efforts to disable the ''Veritas'' prove successful when the ship mysteriously loses all deuterium stores, forcing the crew to abandon ship to a small planetoid. Upon landing, [[Tristam Core]] encourages Blake, whom is second officer, to take command of the crew from three escape pods nearby, and they name their small but growing settlement 'Macropus'.
 
After two weeks, Blake grows uneasy when those gathered in Macropus have still not located their commanding officers. Blake leaves the small encampment and goes scouting, locating a signal fire set by Delano on a nearby beach, kilometres away from the Macropus encampment. Here, she runs into their captain and XO, much to her relief. It takes a few days, but they manage to move the crew to the beach.
 
At 85 days past since landing on the moon now dubbed "[[Limbo]]", Tristam asks Blake to scout a small clearing and ensure there aren't any 'deadly animals'. It's noted that she's actually enjoying herself significantly more than the rest of the crew, possibly attributed to her love of the outdoors and the fortunate temperature (which suits the Brekkian Betazoid). During day 100, she is present during crew promotions.
 
Stranded for 101 days, Blake is bitten by a snake whilst out scouting. Affected by venom and with no means of communication with the crew, she starts hallucinating, seeing and talking to Sabor. She admits to him that she is still affected by his choice that led to his death - to save others from danger, which cost him his own life. Alone and with no crew nearby to simple stumble upon her should she fall unconscious, "Sabor" suggests using her stun weapon with her flashlight, which will hopefully make enough noise or cause a fire to attract attention. Though she initially rebuts this suggestion, she realizes she has very few other useful ideas. With his encouragement, she successfully sets a fire, though passes out before anyone locates her. She is treated successfully by [[Cole Maxwell]].
[[Image:BlakeandEislas.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Blake with [[Aagan Eislas]].]]
===2396===
 
The [[USS Veritas]] is successfully pulled out of the time bubble it had found itself in and is towed back to base for the 2396 new year, though the crew had still spent approximately six months on Limbo. As such, the crew was given time for shore leave away from ''Veritas''.
 
Blake receives a letter from [[Rivi Vataix]], asking her to come to [[Betazed]] so to make a case with Betazed Immigration regarding [[Faith Blake|Faith]]'s status. With [[Zhou Tai-Sheng|Zhou]] in tow, she is introduced to the [[Eleventh House of Betazed]], and it's ruling family, the Vataixs - though she suffers somewhat of a culture clash, and feels uncomfortable with the free use of telepathy commonly experienced on the Betazed homeworld.
 
She meets with [[Aagan Eislas]], Faith's father, for the first time, and the two discuss Faith's options for when she is brought to Betazed&mdash;however, with a long wait between news, Blake chooses to leave Betazed to await court proceedings. She returns to join Rivi's small gathering on Betazed, and again discusses Faith with Aagan, learning that Brekka is dragging it's heels politically. She thanks him for the information.
 
She is called back by the Starfleet rangers to accompany [[Rairen Caide]], the Shoals division's new managing officer, to assist with the search for Lieutenant Kehive na-Soldim, who had gone missing the year before. On their journey, Caide requests to stop by smaller settlements to check in with them and learn about the area in general. They arrive in [[Bupirninyirring]] and are greeted by settlement manager Keyri Largew, who explains that the water reclamators [[Tristam Core]] designed the year before have been having ongoing maintenance problems, and fears foul play&mdash;Caide offers to take a look at them. The next day, the two are assisting with menial tasks and learning about the settlement when Caide is involved in a minor accident with Pierce Macnamara's horse and carriage. The following evening, Blake locates the water reclamator saboteur, a colonist who wishes to move the minor settlement away from the Tholian border, and takes them to Largew.
 
Unable to treat Caide on Kidman, the two Rangers leave the area for the nearest outpost with medical supplies. They begin a tour down the Tholian border once Caide is healed and cleared for duty, and after four months, end up in the Roxburgh sector with no lead on Kehive's location. Blake receives a request to return to the ''Veritas'' following the death of another Starfleet officer on [[Ketar V]], and she leaves Caide to continue the search in the system to re-join her crew.

===Personality===
Blake is of calm and collected temperament, receptive to criticism, and is a cool-headed thinker unwilling to take unnecessary risks. She relies often on her crewmates counsel for many matters, but is a fast learner and typically relies upon her own lack of experience to give her a different perspective on conflicts. Blake will ask questions and press for more information when she feels she does not have all the answers she requires, but she never does this guns-blazing.
 
Blake feels comfortable with aspects outside of the Starfleet realm that her fellow crew disagree with, though she will side with her shipmates and work with them despite her own belief. An example of this can be seen when she decidedly overrules a suggestion by [[Jhalib Ekal]] to isolate the ''Veritas'' flight recorder in case of sabotage (a suggestion she agreed with) and opts to use [[Wil Ukinix]]’s prioritizing of engineering resources instead. She ensures that she and her crew are on the same page about such matters.
 
Blake takes her job and learned mannerisms within the Shoals seriously, as she thoroughly believes in the rules of engagement set for the area - repeated offences by [[Starfleet]] vessels entering the Shoals (such as the {{USS|Astraeus}} and the {{USS|Artemis}}) frustrate her greatly. Because of this, she is considered by her fellow crew to have a particularly ‘sharp’ or ‘icy’ demeanour. If irritated, she becomes cold and blunt, but if Blake is known for one thing, it’s that she hardly ever raises her voice to others. Because she spends a significant amount of time as a long [[Starfleet Ranger]], she becomes incredibly frustrated when her crew breaks what she believes to be simple rules established for operation in the [[Shoals]] (such as [[Kelrod]] discharging a phaser to stop an escalating physical conflict in a [[Ketar V]] establishment, which ultimately lands he, [[Wil Ukinix]], and their captain [[Roshanara Rahman]] in marshal holding cells). Blake is strict upon herself and tries her best to abide by the social norms, rules, and laws of other cultures or colonies, even when doing so contradicts her duty as a Starfleet officer.
 
She surrounds herself deliberately with colour, having subscribed rather heavily into Ornaran colour psychology, and is considerably bright and charismatic when faced with relaxed social settings that don’t involve her Starfleet uniform. On duty, however, Blake is occasionally referred to the ‘doom and gloom’ character by her fellow crew and has been heard verbalizing worst-case scenarios sometimes to a point of fault, though most of her potential suggestions or outcomes leave openings for others to provide significantly better counter-proposals.
 
Despite engaging in many ''casual'' relationships, she still wears three rings denoting her marriage to Sabor, her [[Vulcan]] bondmate who was killed in 2391 - on her right-hand thumb, second, and fourth fingers. Her relationships with her surviving family members are important to Blake as she attempts to reunite with her daughter. Though she is protective of her children and their privacy, she trusts others to watch over them when she is not available - such is often the case with [[Ayden Blake|Ayden]], whom many of the crew have looked after as she works aboard the ''Veritas''.
 
===Physical appearance===
[[File:SkyBlakeUniform.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Blake wearing the new duty uniform introduced in 2395.]]
Blake is a humanoid of [[Brekkian]] and [[Betazoid]] descent, standing at 5'10 with short blonde hair and emerald green eyes. She wears three rings on her right hand - denoting her marriage to [[Sabor]], placed on her thumb (a plain copper band), second (a plain gold band), and fourth (a stainless steel band with emerald gemstone) fingers, respectively.
 
Because she is part Brekkian, Blake's body temperature is higher than that of the average humanoid - as such, her skin is surprisingly warm, if not hot to touch. She often wears layers when operating aboard [[Starfleet]] vessels, adding additional pieces to her uniform so to remain warm in what others do consider to be regular temperate environments. When ill, she does go so far as to wear thermal clothing to replace parts of her uniform or add more layers underneath it. Unless she is in her quarters, which tend to be set in the 30-degree Celsius range, she will wear comfortable form-fitting clothing when dressing outside of duty, the most skin exposed generally being her collar bone and above (as well as her hands). She will also consistently wear brightly colored but otherwise plain clothing.
 
That said, she thrives in hot climates, and returns to a casual getup when working in warmer environments, ditching uniform jackets and opting to wear shorts and singlets where possible. On duty, she will also be equipped with a [[Personal phaser#Type 2 "Aquila" Pattern|Type 2 Mark VIII NL Aquila]], rather than standard phasers.
 
Though she is not aware of it's cause, nor potentially of it's existence, there is a two inch long scar at the base of her lower back seemingly from a dagger-inflicted injury.


===Personal spaces===
===Personal spaces===
Blake considers her quarters to be much to large for just herself and her son to inhabit - despite the possessions of her toddler now being present, Blake's quarters feel seemingly bare, with few personal items on display. However, where she has added items, they are colourful and eye-catching, and by no means match the starchy feel of standard Starfleet quarters - a sunshine yellow blanket is draped over the couch; her glassware for some strange reason, a bright green colour; and there is a false plant on her coffee table featuring a neon blue flower.

Despite protesting the action, Blake inevitably moved into the Chief of Security's office, though the room makes her feel physically uncomfortable due to what she considers it's "large" floor space. In reality, it is an averaged size located nearby the CIC. The office is described as having been deliberately cluttered with items of various origin - though none of them are hers of a personal nature. Due to her personal feelings for the size of the office, the door is programmed to remain open unless privacy was required - this is generally to encourage walk-ins, and is a deliberate attempt at forgoing a formal feel.

===Other information===
===Other information===
Blake is (begrudgingly) a vegetarian, though not by conscious choice of her own. She mentions to [[Wil Ukinix]] that it is a psychological result of her bond to [[Sabor]], a [[Vulcan]].


She's proficient in the Brekkian language of Seritonian (her mother tongue) and is also surprisingly fluent in at least two Ornaran and Vulcan dialects. Blake is a Federation citizen by marriage - as is her son by birth. Her daughter, however, is currently considered a dual citizen of Brekka and Ornara - because of this, relocating Faith to Federation space continues to face complications.
She's proficient in the Brekkian language of Seritonian (her mother tongue) and is also surprisingly fluent in at least two Ornaran and Vulcan dialects. Blake is a Federation citizen by marriage—as is her son by birth. Her daughter, however, is currently considered a dual citizen of Brekka and Ornara, making relocating her particularly difficult when Brekka creates policies disallowing permanent relocation. When the Federation refuses to provide assistance, the [[Eleventh House of Betazed|Eleventh]] and [[Twentieth House of Betazed]] steps in, as Blake is a member of the former and Ilakai is revealed to be a member of the latter.
 
Records of Blake's personal history have been removed from the Starfleet personnel database due the deceptive request of her [[Lila Cole|mother]] upon false news of Blake's death, but her service record and partial medical reports remain intact. Blake was required to undergo a full review upon her return to service, and is required to attend monthly check-ups by the ship's medical officer.

This page refers to Prime Blake. You may be looking for Sky Blake (hologram) or Sky Blake (alternate).

Skyleena Blake is a half Brekkian, half Betazoid serving as Vice Chief of the Colonial Coalition Marshals Service.

She previously served as a Starfleet officer aboard the USS Challenger-A, USS Ronin, USS Mercury, USS Avandar, USS Vigilant, USS Syracuse, and USS Veritas, earning the rank of Commander. She retired from active service in mid-2398.

Physical appearance

Blake in 2397.

Blake is a humanoid of Brekkian and Betazoid descent, sharing emerald green eyes with her Brekkian father but lacks any notable Brekkian features. She is 5'10 and sports short blonde hair, just long enough to be tied back. She wears three rings on her right hand, denoting her marriage to Sabor, placed on her thumb (a plain copper band), second (a plain gold band), and fourth (a stainless steel band with emerald gemstone) fingers, respectively.

Because she is part Brekkian, Blake's body temperature is higher than that of the average humanoid. Her skin is surprisingly warm if not hot to touch. She often wears layers when operating aboard Federation vessels, adding additional pieces to her uniform to remain warm in what are otherwise regular temperate environments. She may even go so far as to wear thick thermal clothing to replace parts of her uniform or add more layers underneath it.

She will wear comfortable form-fitting clothing when dressing outside of duty. Usually consists of brightly coloured, but otherwise plain clothing — typically a t-shirt and shorts. Blake thrives in hot climates and enjoys this casual getup when possible. Outside of her quarters, and in temperatures under 30 degrees, she is not known to allow much exposure of her skin, and she will wear well-fitted, long-sleeve shirts with a neckline no lower than her collar bone. If it is still too cold, she will resort to wearing thick thermal skins designed to retain her body temperature, and gloves if necessary.

Personality

See also: Relationships, logs
"You're a widow, Commander. Born out of ash and fire with just five years of life under your belt. The things that scare you are complex - they are very real problems. But some of us are simply spooked by a darkened corridor."
— Kallo Ver, "The unordinary man of the Shoals."

Blake's life revolves near-exclusively around her job in the Shoals. Her position aboard the Veritas and her role as a Starfleet Ranger provided her with a purpose she didn't have prior to re-joining Starfleet. She takes threats to the Shoals region incredibly seriously and becomes frustrated when her fellows (especially those in Starfleet]] don't show the same level of commitment to the rules and regulations of the areas—such as Kelrod discharging a phaser to stop an escalating physical conflict in a Ketar V establishment, which ultimately lands he, Wil Ukinix, and Captain Roshanara Rahman in Colonial Coalition Marshals holding cells. Comparatively, when an officer is untrusting of the Marshals, Blake becomes equally frustrated, regardless of whether she knows they are right in their assumptions (as is the case with Hannibal Parker).

Blake prefers an advisory role specifically in the Shoals — which is the reason she was re-recruited back to Starfleet in 2392. She even admits to Rahman that she doesn't like being aboard starships because of the ongoing impact the environment has on her ill-suited physical health, but continued to serve for the positive influence the purpose of service provides for her mental health. To some, Blake may have been a controversial choice of executive officer for USS Veritas. She is highly critical of Starfleet as an organisation, perceiving its current operations as being a flawed result of increased paranoia following the events of the Dominion War.

Blake sometimes struggles to "switch off" from her duties, making it hard for others to connect with her on a personal level. Some may find it easier to only engage with Blake on duty, but with persistence, it is possible to break through her all-work-no-play psyche, revealing an easy-going woman. She surrounds herself deliberately with colour, having subscribed rather heavily into Ornaran colour psychology, and is considerably bright and charismatic when faced with relaxed social settings. Blake is strict with herself and tries her best to abide by social norms, rules, and laws of other cultures or colonies.

Blake will ask questions and press for more information when she feels she does not have all the answers she requires, though admittedly becomes frustrated if others refuse to provide them. When required to make decisions, she prefers all have had their say first so that she can determine a course of action based on the information provided — though she has on occasion been known to make rash, ill-thought-out decisions when the crew is on a time crunch, possibly explaining her constant need for information.

If irritated, she becomes cold and blunt. However, she will not raise her voice when speaking to others.

Blake has struggled to set down roots and maintains homesteads in several different locations—including on Delos IV, Shadow's Edge, and Meridian. Though not originating from the Shoals, she is rather "patriotic" about the area, going so far as to demand the Colonial Coalition flag in her official Starfleet portrait.

Zhou: You’ve always been uncomfortable when you’ve met people from that “other” Sky’s past. The familiarity foreign to you.

In this regard, Zhou had been lucky. He’d never heard of or met Sky Blake before his mission to go find her on Ornara and recruit her help when Veritas had been tasked with dealing with Brekkian drug smuggler pushing felicium into the Shoals. Perhaps that was why she’d been willing to let him get so close.

Zhou: I don’t think this is as much about being offended as it is you worried you’re going to find out more about who you really were once… and maybe not living up to that. ::He shrugged.:: Or maybe just finding out how much you’ve changed.

Blake: I’ve heard about the woman I was. ::She shook her head.:: I didn’t like her very much.

“
”

Despite her committed relationship to Rairen Caide, Blake still wears three rings denoting her marriage to Sabor, her Vulcan bond-mate who was killed in 2391, on her right-hand thumb, second, and fourth fingers. Though she is protective of her children and their privacy, she frequently entrusts others to watch over them when she is not available—which is often the case for her son Ayeden, who has had countless guardians over the last two years alone.

If faced with information about her life prior to her amnesia, Blake will recoil and immediately attempt to retract herself from the situation. She fears her "past life" and does not wish to be someone she is not. She encourages Tristam Core to delete a holographic version of herself, adamant that a second Sky Blake (from years ago) is of no benefit to anyone, and considers the hologram as nothing more than a dangerous ghost.

Personal spaces

Blake considers her quarters to be much too large to inhabit, preferring small work areas. Her office is described as having been deliberately cluttered with items of various origin, though none are truly personal to her. The door is programmed to remain open unless privacy was required to encourage walk-ins, and is a deliberate attempt at forgoing a formal feel. Blake attached a bar to the ceiling of the room of which is used for exercise, an accompanying safety mat can also be located within the office. Shelving with various PADDs can be located to the right of the room when walking in. On the left, a display connected to the Colonial Coalition Marshals Service database updates.

Other information

Blake is (begrudgingly) a vegetarian, though not by conscious choice of her own. She mentions to Wil Ukinix that it is a psychological result of her bond to Sabor, a Vulcan.

She's proficient in the Brekkian language of Seritonian (her mother tongue) and is also surprisingly fluent in at least two Ornaran and Vulcan dialects. Blake is a Federation citizen by marriage—as is her son by birth. Her daughter, however, is currently considered a dual citizen of Brekka and Ornara, making relocating her particularly difficult when Brekka creates policies disallowing permanent relocation. When the Federation refuses to provide assistance, the Eleventh and Twentieth House of Betazed steps in, as Blake is a member of the former and Ilakai is revealed to be a member of the latter.
