Firstborn daughter of the Vataix family, Niarivi (known more commonly by her nickname Rivi) is a cheery young woman who will be tasked with the duties of head of the house once she assumes the title from her mother, Naminae Vataix. Until then, however, Rivi has been working on rebuilding the house following its losses sustained from the Dominion War and the attack on Ohmallera, having sought help from her cousin Sky Blake. In 2398, she was appointed as a Federation ambassador and assigned by the Federation Diplomatic Corps to serve as the chief of mission for Amity Outpost, the Federation's newest diplomatic outreach to the species of the Delta Quadrant. Lt. Commander Wil Ukinix Wil Ukinix Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Starfleet Attaché & First Officer Age/Species/Sex: 31-year-old Human (3/4) & Betazoid (1/4) Male Birthplace: Fremantle, Australia, Earth Wil’s home has always been Fremantle, but he attended junior school in Beijing, the Oceanic Regional Middle School in Auckland, New Zealand, and the Dr. Andy Thomas Senior School in Sydney, Australia. He is close to his mother Stacey, and from a young age wanted to join Starfleet to be like his Mother. Throughout his life, he spent much of his time pulling apart and putting back together all manner of technology and reverse engineering software systems, which is how he came to have a technical mind. He also spent a lot of time at his grandparent’s winery - he has a great relationship with them, especially with Astrad. Before joining Starfleet Academy, Wil took a "gap year" (that ended up being almost two years), which is why he was slightly older than other cadets. Lt. Commander John Carter John Carter Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Chief Counselor & Second Officer Age/Species/Sex: 46-year-old Human Male Birthplace: Kansas City, Kansas Early on, John was an avid reader, and he pretty much read whatever he could lay his hands on. His thirst for reading led him to languages and he learned several languages, including Romulan, Klingon (two dialects), Vulcan and a little bit of Ferengi. His love of the spoken word took him to the University of Kansas, where he majored in both Linguistics and Psychology, graduating in 2376. On the advice of his mother and father, he went to college first before attending Starfleet Academy, where he majored in Counseling and Communications. He always had a drive to talk to other races which inhabited the Federation, and he always had a drive to see what was over the next hill, find the next new sentient race, learn their language and teach them his. His parents made sure they kept him out of the Dominion War by having him go to college first before going to the Academy. Graduating in 2380, Johns’ first assignment was at Starbase 375, where he was assigned to the Counselors’ Office, where he was one of ten on the staff. In late 2398, John was assigned to Amity Station, an assignment he requested because of the opportunity to meet and converse with new races in the Delta quadrant and hopefully help the Federation and Starfleet make a few new friends, and strengthen old ties. It is an assignment he is looking forward to. Lt. Commander Kinan Venroe Kinan Venroe Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Personnel Officer Age/Species/Sex: 40-year-old Trill Female Birthplace: Etamoa V Lieutenant Commander Ariealt Renya Kinan Venroe is the personnel administration officer of the Barossa Sector, looking after officer management. She is responsible for getting officers from one posting to another, often called upon to give advice on political or embassy matters, and will often liaison between Starfleet Administration and ships active within her designated areas if necessary. Kinan likes to present herself as official and business-like, keeping with her ideal that she must present herself in such a way lest she run into superiors whilst off-duty (not her Starfleet superiors, but her diplomatic charges outside of Starfleet). Born on a small colonized world by the name of Etamoa V, based in a far corner of nowhere, Kinan was raised in a stable community made with a lot of structure. Soon, Starfleet would launch a research program on Etamoa V, and Kinan would become increasingly interested in joining their ranks, interested in all the reports behind the scenes and just how much detail went into every decision and every development. Ensign S'Raga S'Raga Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Helm / Com / Ops Officer Age/Species/Sex: 25-year-old Caitian Male Birthplace: Cait In 2395, S'Raga was accepted into Starfleet Academy in San Francisco on Earth. Attending the Academy marked his first time leaving the Regulus system. S'Raga found that the climate in San Francisco wasn't dissimilar to that of his home-city of Dorlin, however he did have some difficulty adapting to certain cultural differences, such as the staggering variety of foods and other people's overt friendliness. During his first few months at the Academy, S'Raga would often feel overwhelmed, and would retreat to his quarters to recenter himself and write to his family. Over time, however, S'Raga grew more accustomed to life on Earth and embraced its eccentricities. With piloting as his primary focus, S'Raga chose to pursue a major in Helm and Navigation. Due to the core course requirements, however, S'Raga did not have any opportunity to pilot a spacecraft in his first year. In his second year, he was finally able to enroll in courses that would allow him to fly. S'Raga's exceptional performance in his first two piloting courses caught the eye of his instructors, and at the end of the year S'Raga was offered a spot in the Third Academy Training Wing's Falcon Squadron, with whom he will train for his remaining two years at the Academy. Flying with Falcon Squadron while also handling a full course-load was challenging, but S'Raga was fully in his element and was able to successfully navigate all of his commitments, and by the end of his fourth year he was awarded a Flight Proficiency Award. His focus came at a price, though, as he didn't allow much time for social activities. Although he grew a camaraderie with the rest of his squadron, S'Raga had few close relationships by the time he graduated. Civilian Keehani Ukinix Keehani Ukinix Rank: Civilian Duty Post: Ambassadorial Aide Age/Species/Sex: 26-year-old Betazoid Female Birthplace: Unknown, Betazed First Secretary Keehani Ukinix (formerly Keehani Ral) is a Betazoid and granddaughter of Vaxa Ral (formerly Vaxa Ukinix), the disputed head of the Ninth House of Betazed. She is serving a diplomatic posting as Ambassadorial Aide on Amity Outpost. Around the time of her graduation from university, she discovered that her second cousin Wil Ukinix was to become a Starfleet attache at Amity Outpost in the Delta Quadrant, under the command of fellow Betazoid and Chief of Mission Rivi Vataix. She persuades Rivi to allow her to serve on the Outpost, based on her exopolitics education. Keehani was given the title of First Secretary, and role as Aide to Ambassador Vataix. Keehani is ambitious and career driven, with a polite and protocol driven demeanour in professional settings. In more personal and social settings she is not afraid to speak her mind, whether vocally or telepathically. She is bold and has a purposeful, strong, and unapologetic personality and believes in fairness and justice. Lieutenant JG Scotty Reade Scotty Reade Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Acting Chief of Operations Age/Species/Sex: 35-year-old Human Male Birthplace: Vancouver, Canada Scotty was born on Stardate 236610.29 to Felix and Amelia Reade. Scotty was raised in a small family. A few years later his younger brother Sam was born. From a young age, Scotty always was keen in technology and engineering. Scotty’s dad Felix was a Starfleet officer, because of this he was always traveling to where his dad ship was posted. He applied to the academy and was accepted. He took this knowledge and applied for Starfleet under Engineering. He decided to major in Propulsion while at the academy. After graduating from the Academy, he was assigned to the USS Veritas as an Engineering Officer. He is a quick thinker and loves getting to know people. He always passionate about what he does, and he always tries to complete what is assigned to him. Any of his friends will say if they ever need help, Scotty is always there no matter the issue or time of day. Ensign Nathan Richards Nathan Richards Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Engineering Officer Age/Species/Sex: 31-year-old Human Male Birthplace: Bigfork, Montana Nathan was born in Bigfork, Montana to Jennifer and Patrick Richards. The Richards family had taken on the duty of maintaining and protecting what remained of the Glacier National Park over the past 150 years. Spending lots of time in the National Park, Nathan developed exceptional survival skills and discovered his love for engineering while working on the autonomous park equipment and containment facilities. After many years, Nathan decided he wanted to be part of something more than just another ‘park ranger,’ as they used to be called, and enlisted into starfleet. Nathan has always been a bit of a free spirit. A people pleaser. Going out of his way to make sure those he cared about were happy and taken care of. With an almost overwhelmingly positive personality, and a sometimes dark sense of humor, Nathan has never seemed to have an issue getting along with anyone he has come across. Lt. Commander Cassian Iovianus Cassian Iovianus Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Chief of Security Age/Species/Sex: 43-year-old Magna Roman Male Birthplace: Gramen Urb, Septentriones Vineam Province, Magna Roma Born in the Septentriones Vineam province to the regional governor Sabina Virgnia and her husband Aldric Kuno, Cassian was nearly raised in the military. Being born into such a station he had a strict upbringing, spending more time with his noncitizen father going over strategies at every possible chance, even the games that young Cassian played had an eye toward strategy and skill more than luck in their outcome. Graduating from the academy he got himself assigned to the USS Quirinal rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander and Chief of Security and Tactical services on board. That was until Starfleet selected him to fill in as the XO on the USS Juneau which needed a temporary replacement to fill in. While inwardly reserved Cassian was excited for the attempt at advancing his career to the next stage. His time on the Juneau was short lived though as he found the opportunity presented by the opening of Amity Station too much to pass up. Even if it did require a return to his familiar position of Chief of Security he jumped at the opportunity to return to the frontier. While on leave to prepare for the launch of Amity he returned to the home world and had a chance to invest with a childhood friend in his winery that he had taken over from his parents. Lieutenant JG Rebecca Iko Rebecca Iko Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Security Officer Age/Species/Sex: 26-year-old Human / Klingon Hybrid Female Birthplace: Campbelltown, NSW, Australia Rebecca, or Bec as she is known to most people (if not all) grew up on Earth in a small town known as Campbelltown near Sydney, Australia, as the youngest of 4 with three older human-hybrid stepbrothers. Bec applied for and was accepted into Starfleet Academy in 2393, however, she had to retake her first year due to failing, not one, but several subjects. Bec took basic classes in engineering, security and Medical, not yet quite sure which direction she would head into. That year's results were clear, as both engineering and medical ended up coming back with atrocious grades, despite her studying efforts. She continued in security for the rest of her academy days. Bec didn't have many friends at the academy, as she was mainly found studying or catching up on last-minute work, determined not to let her chance at being a Starfleet officer float away in the wind. When she got to Amity she found everyone clearly already forming friendships and acquaintances but found it surprisingly easy to scoot into those groups and determine her small corner of mates. She never thinks too much about climbing the ranks - other than getting out of the Academy. While at Amity she has discovered many things about her family, including her mother's Betazoid heritage. This fact when initially given made Bec feel rather confused, and after more thought fueled the anger she already had for her maternal ancestor. She also met her father, who was absent from her childhood and there is tension in the relationship. She's also struggled with emotional effects after each mission but is quite grateful for her support system of many friends and the many people she has named her brothers. Lieutenant Robin Hopper Robin Hopper Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Chief Science Officer Age/Species/Sex: 29-year-old Human / Centauran Hybrid Female Birthplace: Theta VII Dr. Robin Hopper is a Human/Centauran Lieutenant serving as Chief Science Officer aboard Amity Outpost. She was previously posted aboard the deep space science vessel, USS Wall Street. She grew up on the 'old frontier' world, Theta VII, on her parents' hydroponic farm estate. She completed her undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, then went on to complete her masters in Physics. After six years studying physics in California, it was hard to ignore the call of Starfleet. She applied for the Academy on a whim, submitting an application to complete her PhD studies that she never expected to be accepted. Much to her surprise, she was accepted. Robin’s first posting was aboard the Oracle Class USS Wall Street under the command of Captain Sh'Torn. There, she learned quickly, amidst a crew of dedicated scientific minds. Her genial personality and enthusiasm earned her a spot on the ship’s coveted ‘day shift’ where she would be able to work closely with the vessel’s Chief Science Officer, Trisha Montgomery. Under Montgomery’s tutelage, it wasn’t long before Robin achieved the rank of Lieutenant and took on a role as a Computer Science Specialist. When news of Amity Outpost’s establishment in the Delta Quadrant reached Robin’s ears, she felt immediately drawn to the distant and exciting deep space station. Excited at the prospect, and with Chief Science Officer Montgomery’s recommendation on her file, Robin requested a transfer to Amity Outpost in early 2399. Lieutenant Ikaia Wong Ikaia Wong Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Chief Medical Officer Age/Species/Sex: 28-year-old Klingon Male Birthplace: Unknown (Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii) Ikaia Wong doesn’t know his bio parents and never grew up in a Klingon family or surrounded by Klingon culture. Instead he was adopted by the Wongs, his human family. The middle child of three children, Ikaia grew up surrounded by a loving family in Honolulu. He was a quiet and curious child who was interested in the world around him and why it was the way it was. He often liked exploring Hawaii’s many beaches or visiting his Aunt Niko’s alpaca farm on Moloka’i where he would eventually work during the summers in his teens. Eventually, he would follow his mother, a doctor and lifelong influence, into Starfleet to pursue medicine. After serving aboard the USS Veritas, Ikaia Wong is looking forward to his new posting at the Amity Outpost as the Chief Medical Officer. He has currently earned his Emergency Medicine Fellowship with the Starfleet Medical Academy. Ikaia is generally a friendly, polite and affable sort of person who cares deeply for those around him and under his care. He is a driven individual who is willing to sacrifice himself in order to protect a patient. Although, Ikaia does have a nervous streak to him.
