	Manner

• Quarters:: Solaris keeps her quarters tidy, only displaying a few choice mementos and pictures. She has a small collection of physical books, mostly those of Ian Fleming, along with some other spy novels, which were pivotal in leading her to where she is today. She also keeps her trombone on a stand in sight, never knowing when the mood to play will strike. Her quarters are located on Deck 03.
• Office:: Solaris' office is located on Deck 27, direcly adjacent to the Intelligence Suite. It is so far kept mostly spartan, though the desk is often littered with PADDs. It contains a replicator should she need it. She also has a couch, and one of the very few windows on the deck.
• Favourite Room: Solaris can often be found in the holodeck when off duty, should it not already be in use. She loves the fact that it can become pretty much anything
• Temperament: Solaris is generally out going, and happy, probably drawing from her Irish heritage. While on duty she is a little more serious, though isnt afraid to make a witty or sarcastic comment.
• Mannerisms: Solaris often stand with her arms crossed, when her hands are other wise not needed.
• Habits: Solaris has been known to mess with her hair while working on a particularly hard problem.
• Favourite time of Day: Night. Solaris has always been a night owl, preferring it, as it allows her to get things done without much interruption.
• Favourite Food: Shepard's Pie. Solaris loves shepard's pie, though often substitutes beef instead of lamb.
• Favourite Drink: Earl Grey Tea. Solaris almost always starts her day with a cup of earl grey, and if she doesnt her mood is normally worse than if she had.

	Hobbies & Pasttimes

Sol's King 3B

• Music: Solaris plays the trombone and has been since she was in middle school. Her choice of instrument is a King 3B Legend, with an F-trigger.
• Darts: You dont help out in an Irish pub and not learn how to play darts. Solaris has become quite proficient at the game, often draining people of their latinum.
• Pool: Like the game of darts, if you're helping out in an Irish pub, avoding the game is almost impossible. Solaris is decent at the game, but is far from the best.
• Reading: Solaris loves to read. While she will tolerate reading from a PADD, she greatly prefers reading from a real physical book and can often be found either in her quarters or int he crew lounge while off duty, reading.

Likes and Dislikes

Likes: Quiet nights in her quarters Puzzles Music Tea

	Family & Relationships

Family
	James McLaren Father	James McLaren is the owner of a small pub in Belfast. He has always been very supportive of Solaris' interests, often having bought her books about spycraft. She often helped out in the pub when herfather thought her old enough, and it was there she learned many things. James is an easy going man who enjoys being a good host.
	Vivian McLaren Mother	Vivian McLaren is the owner of a small florists shop. While she had hoped the Solaris would follow in her footsteps, she has been nothing but supportive of her daughter's goals in life. Vivian has always been the voice of reason in Solaris' life, trying to keep her well balanced, teaching her about many things including her Celtic heritage.
Relationships
	Sinda Essen Friend	Solaris first met Sinda during the Constitution's holiday party. They spent most of the night playing darts and getting to know each other, on the 2nd level of the ships bar. Things became more intimate between the pair during shore leave following the discovery of the USS Unity. Things have continued to grow between Essen and Solaris, leaving Sol slightly confused about Essen's intent.

	Background

Solaris was born in the city of Belfast on Earth. Her father, James McLaren is the owner of a pub, imaginatively named 'McLaren's'. Her mother, Vivian McLaren, owns a small florist's shop.

As an only child she was a loner, often found reading books or listening to music. During her secondary education she became fascinated with spycraft, reading many books on the subject though most of them romanticized the field, and by the time she had entered high school she had decided to pursue the intelligence field. In addition to this, during her middle and high school careers she began learning to play the trombone and continues to play regularly. In her free time after school, she often helped out at her fathers pub, much to her mothers dismay.

Almost directly after high school, Solaris enrolled in Starfleet Academy.

During her time at the Academy she was a middling student, having found out that the intelligence field wasnt as action packed and romantic as it had been in her books. Her grades weren't the best, but it was found that she had particular aptitude for espionage. As such she graduated the academy with a major in Intelligence.

On Stardate 239210.12, just after graduating from Starfleet Academy, Solaris was assigned to the USS Columbia, a Nebula-class starship operating in the Trinity and Serellan sectors. It was her first posting as an Intelligence officer. It was there she assisted the crew in investigating the Romulan Republic colony of Freedom's Hope.

Shortly after her mission to Freedom's Hope, Columbia was rotated to inactive status within the fleet. Solaris was then assigned to the U.S.S. Constitution on Stardate 239211.15, as an Intelligence Officer. On her first mission aboard the Constitution, the ship was thrown back to the year 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I. Solaris was present, in orbit of Earth, as the first shots of the war were fired. Upon the ships return to the present, the ships crew was debriefed by Starfleet Intelligence, and cleared of any wrong doing. Solaris was awarded the Defense of Temporal Flow Ribbon for her actions in preserving the time line, and the Prometheus Ribbon for assisting in the cleanup of the Prometheus Incident.

Not content with being around for only one historical event, the Constitution picked up a distress call from the U.S.S. Unity, an Oberth-class science vessel that had been presumed lost for over a century. The Constitution was dispatched to the Betreka Nebula to ascertain the status of the vessel. Upon arrival in the Betreka Nebula, the Constitution discovered the long lost U.S.S. Unity adrift. The ship was long since deserted and a hostile entity occupied it. Solaris accompanied an away team to the ship, in an attempt to learn just what had happened to the Oberth-class vessel. Upon her return to the Constitution and the ships subsequent departure from the Nebula, Solaris was promoted to Lieutenant JG and given the position of Chief Intelligence Officer. She was also awarded with a Captain's Commendation Ribbon for her actions while aboard the Unity.

After arriving at Starbase 11 after the discovery of Unity, and a short period of shore leave, (spent in the company of her friend Sinda Essen), the Constitution was contacted by a Suliban woman, who requested the ships help with the investigation of a murder. The Constitution set out for the planet Lerayn and Solaris was tasked with helping prepare a threat assessment on possible suspects. Upon arrival at the planet 2 members of the crew, and the Suliban woman Akana were beamed off the ship to an unknown location on the planet below. Solaris accompanied Sinda Essen and Tad Cooper to find them and bring them back. Once they had been found, Akana attacked the two crewmen and Solaris attempted to disarm her. She was shot in the side during the ensuing scuffle. The crew soon discovered that Akana had been brainwashed to commit the murder herself, she and another Suliban were admitted to the psychiatric facilites at Starbase 11, and with no reason to hold them, the other Suliban were returned to their planet, to face their own societies justice system. The Constitution then returned to Starbase 11, for some well deserved shore leave.
