Lieutenant Trovek Arys is currently serving as a Chief Medical Officer aboard Starbase 118 Ops.

	Background

Childhood and Adolescense

Arys is the younger one of Tuomas’ and Sileah’s two children and grew up in the northern part of Europe. Due to her grandfather's occupation as a diplomat, and the fact that Arys travelled with him, she spent her childhood and early teenage years exposed to different species and cultures, rejecting her Bajoran heritage.

Her mother, a former member of the Bajoran Resistance, did not approve. She all but forced the participation in prayer and Bajoran holidays - something Arys hated passionately. After the end of the Dominion War, Sileah insisted on moving her family to Bajor in order to familiarize her children more with the Bajoran culture. While Aaron quickly made new friends and would later say that he felt ‘complete’ when exploring his people’s history and faith, Arys felt caged and unhappy.

When her mother and father split, Arys returned to Earth with her father.

Education on Earth

Having returned to Earth, Arys finished College, and studied medicine. She worked as a doctor under her father's tutorage, specializing in obstetrics, gynaecology, and prenatal surgery. She was by no means the best in her field but benefitted a lot from her father’s name and reputation. After several years of persistent encouragement by her grandfather and thorough preparation for the entry exam, Arys eventually applied to Starfleet Academy. She decided to major in Counselling and eventually become a Diplomat like her grandfather, but let a mentor convince her to obtain medical qualifications in addition. She finished Starfleet Academy successfully after almost six years.

USS Juneau and Starbase 118 Ops

Upon graduating, Arys was posted to the USS Juneau where she began working as a Counsellor. After only three months she was transferred to Starbase 118 Ops as a Medical Officer - something she struggled with for quite some time. After all, it seemed that she had wasted the past years. It took several months for her to realize that her passion was indeed being a Medical Officer, and her commitment to her patients and life-saving research got her promoted to Chief Medical Officer in 239905.

	Missions and B-Plots

• The Pied Piper

The Juneau sets course for nebula DE-678912 after receiving a distress call from an old Cardassian listening post, claiming Nauscican pirates are targeting transport vessels in one of the most prominent trading routes in the Aavaro Wilds. On their way to their destination, the crew experiences hallucinations and Arys is first confronted with a patient she recently lost, and then with her mother, Trovek Sileah. She bonds with Lt. Cmdr. T'Lea over shared childhood trauma which results in an uneasy friendship.

• A Good Death

Arys reconnects with Lukin Zorkal, a Cardassian Ambassador she had met shortly before her departure from Starbase 118's Academy Campus, and together they travel to Arys' home in Finland, Earth. Arys finds out that her grandfather's health has taken a turn for the worse, but that her father refuses to take him out of the stasis unit that keeps him alive. An argument ensues and Arys uses her power of attorney to let her grandfather die in peace. Upon receiving her inheritance, Arys finds an explanation for her father's actions - amongst other things, she inherits Cardassian documents implying that her mother had a half-Cardassian child during the Occupation.

• The Terror Of Terra Prime

Upon her arrival at Starbase 118, Commodore Taybrim greets her. He provides a short briefing on their struggles with Terra Prime - a terror organization believing in human superiority - and sends Arys to the USS Rahuba, which in turn is sent to assist the away teams investigating Miranda VII. Within hours, the situation escalates, leaving Arys in charge of an overcrowded sickbay and tending to a heavily injured Commander Dal. Upon their return to Ops, they learn devastating news: The away teams have failed, and Terra Prime unleashed a hybrid-killing compound on a nearby federation colony, killing more than ten thousand people.

• First Encounters of the Squirrel Kind

The crew gets assigned to study a phenomenon located in the Jenatris cloud. After the anomaly reacts to the probes and causes the crew to blackout, Arys tends to the injured. As they encounter the Si'laan, a heavily damaged ship with squirrel-like aliens on board, Arys is part of the search and rescue effort.

• Family Ties

Together with Lukin, Arys travels to Cardassia, planning to reunite with her half-brother residing on Ithic II. However, Lukin has already found out that he was killed in an accident only weeks ago, leaving behind his little daughter Geleth. While Lukin and Arys grow closer and eventually begin a relationship, Arys argues with Cardassia's courts to be able to adopt Geleth. Eventually she is granted permission and they bring Geleth to Ops.

• Return of Terra Prime

When a 1000 hours mission briefing with Sal Taybrim gets moved up last minute, the crew expects that such urgent news is not good - a suspicion that quickly proves to be correct. A tricobald bomb is found aboard the SS Belladonna, a massive passenger liner. Upon their arrival, Ops' crew begins evacuations but quickly realize that the saboteurs are still on board. Arys negotiates with one of them and manages to change his mind, resulting in him joining Starfleet's efforts to save people.

• Sanctuary

The Narendra's crew is on Bajor when they are asked to assist with finding a cure to a particularly dangerous version of Craat's Disease. After assisting in the research, Arys receives a distress call from Tito and sets out to defend him and Foster from a cloaked Orion Marauder.

• Path of the Prophets

Arys tries to reconnect with her brother Aaron, not knowing that he has other plans. When Ferri and Geleth are kidnapped, Jeni - a childhood friend - offers Arys guidance and a way to reconnect to her faith.

• The Time Traveller's Wife

As acting First Officer, Arys supports Alora DeVeau when two opposing Romulan factions come to Ops for negotiations.

• The Siege of Terra Prime

Together with Doctors Foster and Zumagi, Arys remains on the ISS Koh’la’shamuu - a mobile hospital meant to lend aid while Miranda VII is evacuated. When Terra Prime member Yavir Moray, posing as a civilian, is beamed on board, he takes Arys hostage and attempts to take control of the vessel.

	Friends and Living Family

• 

  Geleth A. Zantett is Arys' niece and was adopted by Arys after the death of her parents. When Arys relationship to Lukin Zorkal ended and he left Ops, Arys had to admit that it were better for Geleth to stay with him.

• 

  Arys' mother, Sileah, was a religious leader and Bajoran extremist. After reconciling with Arys, she currently resides in the Bajoran temple of Starbase 118

• 

  Vitor Tito is a colleague with a good heart and a habit of following Arys around. He considers Arys his sister.

• 

  Shar'Wyn Foster is Arys' colleague and most valuable surgeon. Despite both being busy and socially awkward, Arys considers Foster a friend.

• 

  Arys does not trust Solaris McLaren yet, but thus far the woman seems very much interested in becoming friends, and quite persistent despite initial rejection./small>

• 

  For the longest time, Arys disliked Sal Taybrim but she warmed up to him when he visited her while she was patient in her own sickbay.
