History:

Kalianna was born into a family that held tight to rich traditions. With a native Earth background that could be traced back for generations, there were many things that Kali was expected to live up to. While some of these things included faith, tradition, and holidays, others had to do with her future.

She was always a strong headed type that did not let much stand in her way. Although this caused problems when she was younger, Kali has learned over the years that there simply are times when you must step aside. Still, very little will stop her from getting the job done or attaining the goals that she has set for herself. She does not expect things from life, but she is not afraid to get out there and get them for herself.

There were always military members in Kali's family. Her father is an instructor for Starfleet Marine Ground Forces, based on Earth where he trains new recruits. Her grandfather was a pilot for the same. If one were to look at the family tree, roots can be traced all the way back to the Japanese pilots in World War 2, the Submariners in what was known as the Cold war, the ground forces that led the way in the aftermath of World War 3, and many more modern conflicts.

She is generally quiet, but she loves to push the edge of things. Never backing down to a challenge, she is known for fierce loyalty and may sometimes seem a bit standoffish. It is important to note, that while she does maintain a tough exterior, she is not immune to fear, sadness, or the plethora of other human emotions that exist. She is physically able, but has a hard time with delicate tasks that take time and patience. At the same time, she has a strategic mind that will weigh the options before making rash moves. Since she has worked over people, such as other marines, she has learned the importance of bringing out the best in those around her, and no matter what the circumstances are, she strives to do just that.

Kali had a rocky start to her first assignment on the USS Resolution. During her first away mission, a mercy mission to the planet Lavon, she sustained a near fatal injury when she took a knife to the chest defending the First Officer. Because of the injury, she had to have a heart replacement. In the days that followed, she remained in a coma in sickbay, living a nightmare where the beast, a hirogen hunter, pursued her. When the time came for her to be brought out of her sedation, Dr. Deron and Lt. Kora found out that she could not wake up, and thus, telepathy was used to help bring her around.

With the nightmare's fresh in her memory, she has had a hard time readjusting to the waking world. Sleeping was difficult, as it often brought about the frightening memories of the coma's nightmare. The friends that she made at the Academy, Eliaan and Makal, have become even more important to her now, and in the days that followed her awakening, Kali and Makal grew quite close. Kali has also forged a new friendship with the First Officer, whom she now views as an older brother.

Kali suffers extensively with PTSD, and it hits her at pretty much random times. Choosing to take herself out of the place that reminded her the most of her nightmare, and subsequent loss of lover, she returned to Earth and completed medical school. Building on the extensive history of battlefield medicine that she already had, it did not take long to complete the program. Now Doctor Kalianna Nicholotti, she was assigned to the USS Eagle as a Medical Officer. Much to her surprise, she would find a close friend already there.

Though she had completed medical school, Kali's piloting skills were called upon once she reached the Eagle, but this was only temporary. Returning to sickbay, she worked long hours trying to escape the nightmares that still came when she closed her eyes. Though time had dulled the wounds, getting back out into space was something that seemed to wake up the past. On the verge of a breakdown, Kali realized that the stint in school had not been enough to help her tackle the nightmares and the PTSD responses that had landed her there in the first place. Needing to regroup once more, she returned to Starbase 118 with another old friend, Vincent Jones and began working with a Starfleet counselor.

Six months later, having made considerable improvement, Kali was contacted and offered a position aboard a ship that would simply be heading out in search of a flag officer, who had disappeared along with his ship. When she heard the missing ship was the Eagle, she accepted the offer. Though she had only planned on being gone temporarily, the Victory was commissioned and she remained in sickbay. Since her arrival there, the nightmares have become something she is able to cope with.

Kali integrated into her new position without much turbulence. She was once again reunited with some old friends under the command of the soon to be Captain Jaxx. Once again, she took up her post in sickbay, where she met Tressa after a shuttle accident that left the new ensign badly injured. The Captain took a liking to Tressa about that time; a fact that did not go unnoticed by Kali. As the woman healed, Kali and her grew close. Shortly after, as Tressa and the Captain embark on a new path together, Kali finds that the Gideon is pregnant. As they had grown close, Kali was asked to be the namesake of one of the twins.

As the newly appointed Second Officer, Kali took up her new post on the bridge as the Victory set out for their next assignment; to take command of Starbase 118. As the ship was leaving, it was transported back in time by a Q, where it collided with the Apollo 11 spacecraft en route to the moon. While on an away mission, the First Officer became severely incapacitated, eventually leading to Kali's promotion to First Officer.

The crew worked feverishly to get the Apollo ship rebuilt and back on track, but it was ultimately the Q that brought them back to their own timeline. Before sending them back, however, each officer was tempted and tested. For Kali, the temptation was the instant reunification with her past lover Makal Kora. Declining, as difficult as it had been, Kali and the rest of the crew was dropped back into their own timeline right in front of the Starbase.

Though the crew had just been through quite the ordeal, they took command of the station the next day. Unfortunately, that was the same day that Bajoran Scarlett Brotherhood terrorists decided to attack, taking most of the station offline. For Kali, this became a trial under fire, as she was left in command of the entire station in a crisis while the Captain was away from the Hub. It was a challenge that she easily overcame.

In the hours that followed the initial attack, Kali ran emergency operations from the Hub as the rest of the senior staff made their way, manually and in the dark, to her. Eventually, as emergency power was just being restored, the Captain arrived with a couple of officers in tow. His safe arrival at the Hub did not come without a cost; Lt Commander Guy Hunt is killed when he convinces a group of terrorists, intent on using violence to get out of the now sticky situation, to follow him in order to get what they wanted. Once in position, an explosion engulfed them all. Hunt died moments later after being beamed to the newly powered up hospital ship, the USS Braveheart.

Kali had been friends with Hunt since her initial posting, so the news of his death hit hard when it came from the Doctor. Still, half the station was in total darkness and so far they had only been able to get emergency power back, so she had to stow any feelings that she did have until a later date.

By the end of almost three entire days, the situation came to a head when terrorists in a freighter tried to dock by having someone on the inside bypass all Starfleet protocols. The victory is launched and the terrorists got desperate. In an attempt at some kind of final glory, the remaining terrorists attempt to overload the warp core within mere meters of Starbase 118. By using the tractor beam, the Victory is able to drag the ship safely away, but she is damaged in the process. The Victory returned to dock without trouble and large scale repairs were started immediately.

Being that there was no rest for the weary, Kali soon finds out about a planet in the Klingon/Romulan neutral zone that contains a rare mineral that both the Romulans and the Klingons want. Tensions are high as the Victory is dispatched, under the command of Kali, to prevent war from breaking out in the neutral zone. With the Klingon in charge of the fleet hell bent on starting that war, Kali has to go to extremes, even putting the Victory directly between the two raging fleets, to prevent disaster.

Word quickly comes in of a new alliance who has made a claim to the planet in question. As the two fleets surrounding the planet get closer to the absolute breaking point, the Romulans are reveled to be members of said alliance, and the treachery within the Klingon chain of command is exposed. With all sides backing down, the situation is quickly resolved allowing the Victory to return to the Starbase.

Once there, Kali decides that the entire senior staff needed some time away. After discussions with the Captain, a destination is agreed upon and a time is set. Intent on having a good time, the group sets out on the Victory to a new 'tourist planet' not far from their lonely location in space. Everything starts off great, but nothing is that simple when you're in Starfleet.

Education:

Kalianna's first attempt at a career was to follow in her mothers footsteps. The medical field (Nursing) was something that she was pushed into, but found bland and difficult. Instead of pursuing such 'delicate' and timely things, she attained a Paramedic certification and found that she really was an adrenaline junkie. It was not long after that she signed up for the SMC. Specializing in Para jumping, battlefield medicine, and hand to hand combat, Kali truly has built an interesting set of skills to pull on throughout her Starfleet career. Although her parents expected better from her, Kali is content in the direction of her life at this time.

Following the near death experience on the Resolution, Kali took an extended leave in order to return to Earth and heal mentally. While there, she returned to the Academy and completed her medical degree. As a doctor, she returned to service aboard the USS Eagle.

Family History:

Kali is closer to her older brother than she is to her parents. Her strong headed attitude has much to do with this. Her brother was the one who was expected to follow in the military traditions, but chose to pursue other interests instead. He currently speaks 16 languages fluently, which helped him achieve a civilian contract position with Starfleet. While they are separated by a large distance, he still talks to his sister often, teasing her and even teaching her some of the languages that he knows. As a result, Kali is also able to communicate on a very limited basis with a number of races without the aid of a translator.

Notable Relationships

Andrus Jaxx - On her first assignment in Starfleet, Kali got between a Hirogen blade and Jaxx, who was then the First Officer of the USS Resolution. After recovering from near death, which required a heart replacement, the two forged a close brother/sister relationship.

Makal Kora - A serious romantic interest and close friend from the USS Resolution.

Eliaan Deron - Academy classmate and the doctor that saved Kali's life by replacing her heart and telepathically helping her out of a nightmare coma following surgery.

Tressa - Kali pulled Tressa from the wreckage of a shuttle craft after a mission that resulted in a firefight with multiple Romulan ships. After multiple surgeries, Kali was able to stabilize the Gideon and she stuck by her throughout the course of recovery. After so much time spent together, the two have forged a close friendship.

Guy Hunt - Friend and long time co-worker, Hunt and Kali started off together as fresh Ensigns on the USS Resolution and have become friends over the time they have been assigned to the same ship together.
