Ensign Luxa Lorana is currently serving as a Science Officer aboard the USS Artemis-A, specialising in astronomy and planetary sciences, although would describe herself as a generalist. Born on the Caitian homeworld Cait (natively known as Ferasa). Luxa was born to a well-respected and renowned family. She spent her youth learning about art and culture, and is indeed a talented artist.
Luxa left Cait in a shroud of shame after publicly bringing shame upon her mother and family. She then spent some time on the Caitian transport vessel, the Y'Kiran, working as a crewhand, primarily within the loading bays. This is where she discovered her love for science, observing the phenomena she would seen between her shifts and teaching herself the fundamentals of science.
Eventually this love of science would aid her when the Y'Kiran responded to a distress call from a Starfleet vessel trapped within a dangerous nebula. Luxa was able to determine, from her studies, the nature of the phenomena and was key in the recovery of the Starfleet crew. This encounter would directly result in her recommendation to join Starfleet, which she would go on to do.

Personal History
Early Life and Family
2372-2378
Luxa was born on stardate 237211.24, to her mother's final litter. She was the last born, and was always known affectionately as 'the little terror' due to her stubbornness to arrive after her littermates. Her mother, M'Aris is a popular artist, sculpture and architect. She, along with Luxa's father, S'nar would spend much of their time off-world touring Federation worlds, or working on projects.
Luxa was raised by her siblings and within her clan on Cait. It was a happy, love-filled childhood. She would often travel with her parents, which helped her language skills, making her more adept at interacting with other species - although she can struggle with this.
P'Larg School of Art, Culture and Philosophy
2379-2388
Luxa was enrolled in the Caitian's most prestigious school of art, culture and philosophy - as had all her siblings and both her parents before her.
Luxa had an independent streak and struggled to fit in at the school, always curious about what was beyond the confines of her privileged upbringing.
Luxa was talented but she lacked passion in her art. Preferring to be technically perfect but it was often commented on that her works lacked emotion and feeling.
The Final Year at P'Larg
2387
Duperra was the daugher of the captain of a transport vessel, the Y'Kiran, who enrolled at P'Larg in Luxa's final year. Duperra and Luxa would often get into trouble. Duperra believed that Caitians should embrace their wilder instincts and would encourage Luxa to runaway into the plains for days at a time.
On her birthdate, for her 16th birthday, her mother planned a great celebration of her new installation which included some of Luxa and her siblings works. Luxa's mother was incredibly proud of this achievement, and was honoured that she was allowed to provide this piece to the people of Cait. It was her legacy piece, symbolic and beautiful.
Luxa and Duperra destroyed the art and placed offensive colours and symbols on the sculptures designed to embarrass her mother. It worked. Luxa felt great shame for what she had done, she had tried to prevent the offense but Duperra had stopped her from intervening.
Luxa left Cait in shame, banished by her family.
The Y'Kiran Years
2388-2395
Duperra's family worked on transport vessels, they offered Luxa a role within the crew on the Y'Kiran. She quickly adapted to life on a transport ship, realising that she loved exploration. She then began to delve into her studies of the universe; nebulas, spacial anomalies - just about anything.
Although she missed her family terribly, she loved the adventures of being part of the crew of the Y'Kiran and visiting so many different worlds, which began her interest in planetary sciences. Luxa collected many rocks from most of the planets she visited.
The transport vessel encountered a strange phenomena and a Starfleet vessel in distress. The vessel had been drawn into a nebula, Luxa's studies allowed her to assist the starfleet crew in rescuing themselves and the captain recommended her admittance into Starfleet Academy and also helped her reconcile with her family.
Service
Starfleet Academy
2396-2400
Luxa's life in the Academy was challenging. She found it hard to socialise with humans as until this point she hadn't encountered that many. She delved into her studies and became a little bit of a loner - which was unusual for a Caitian.
This did have an affect on her mental health but luckily she reached out and overcame this to join some groups. Luxa became quite active in the Science Groups at the academy and formed many friendships, even letting her hair down on occasion.
USS Artemis-A
2400-Present
Luxa's first official posting is the Luna class USS Artemis-A, stationed in the Borderlands under the command of CO Addison MacKenzie.
Luxa joined the crew at the final stages of a relief mission to Da'al planet Meranuge IV after a meteor had struck the city of Tecra, killing an estimated 10,000 individuals. She reported to Sickbay, to find that Commander Addison MacKenzie was treating injured Da'al citizens.
The meteor had an unusual affect on the citizens of the planet, and the telepathic and empathic crew members of the USS Artemis-A. A dust, containing Gallium, spread around the site of the meteor's impact which seemed to be causing these effects, which caused extreme rage in those affected.
Luxa then joined the Science team, tasked with deploying a device to counter the effects of the now named Da'allium on the planet. Luxa assisted in stunning some rage filled citizens to let the team, consisting of Chief Engineer Hallia Yellir, Ensign Hiro Jones and Ensign Jovenan, to deploy the device.
This resulted in the reversal of the effects of the Da'allium.
