Command Division: Rahman, commanding officer Blake, first officer Jolara, intelligence officer Sciences Division: Blueheart, chief medical officer Alexander O'Conner, medical officer Moonsong, ship's counselor Operations Division: Mei'konda, operations officer Walker, chief engineer Greyson, asst. chief engineer T'Dara, engineer Tuk, chief of security Sands, security officer Kelrod, SAR team leader Civilian Contingent: Delano, special advisor Captain Roshanara Rahman Roshanara Rahman Rank: Captain Duty Post: Commanding Officer Age/Species/Sex: 44-year-old Kriosian female empathic metamorph Birthplace: Moselina IV Born away from the Kriosian homeworld, Roshanara's birth parents gave her up for adoption, and a human couple took her in, named her, and raised her back in Lahore, Earth. Often mistaken for a Trill due to her Kriosian spots, she joined Starfleet because of her interest in starship design, an interest that has not come without a cost as she was gravely injured early in her career from a major accident that required lengthy rehabilitation. She exhibits a dry and perhaps even cruel sense of humor. Previously a chief engineer, she employs a rather direct and assertive style of command and is working on her anger management. Lt. Commander Sky Blake Sky Blake Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: First Officer Age/Species/Sex: 38-year-old Brekkian/Betazoid female Birthplace: Kekorna, Seritona, Brekka Prior to her return to active service aboard the USS Veritas, Blake was found residing on the Ornaran homeworld, working with law enforcement to rid her area of residence of further crime incited by black market drug trade. She was located in a bar winding down from a days work by Commander Zhou Tai-Sheng, and was assigned to the Veritas as the ship's Strategic Operations Officer for the ongoing Operation Safe Harbor before being named first officer to Rahman. Lt. Commander Rune Jolara Rune Jolara Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Intelligence Officer Age/Species/Sex: 38-year-old Al-Leyan female Birthplace: Uz Sabahnuor Archipelago, Leya-I Growing up in a strict and conservative society, Rune always tried to conform and follow what had been determined to be her "Branch". However, as hard as she tried to fight it, she was still different. That difference was frowned upon by other Al-Leyans. When she was 16 she was forced to undergo "Attitude Readjustment Treatment," or so she thought that's what it was. Now, in Starfleet, she is faced with many challenges, one of which is breaking completely away from her people and their beliefs. Not an easy task when someone else has other plans for her life and will stop at nothing to get her to return home. Captain Raj Blueheart Raj Blueheart Rank: Captain Duty Post: Chief Medical Officer Age/Species/Sex: 49-year-old Human male Birthplace: Malaysia, Earth The oldest child in a dysfunctional family, Raj worked as a physician on Earth for several years before enlisting in Starfleet to escape a failed relationship. On his first assignment aboard the USS Discovery-B, he forged a deep and loyal friendship with his commanding officer, Tyr Waltas, which lasts to this day. While Raj was in command of the USS Atlantis, the love of his life, Emerson Ravenscroft, was killed in action, and he remains haunted by the loss. He is introverted and does not have many friends, but the ones that are, he holds close and dear to his heart and is fiercely loyal and protective of them. He also loves cats. Ensign Alexander O'Conner Alexander O'Conner Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Medical Officer Age/Species/Sex: 35-year-old Human/Bajoran male Birthplace: USS Independence Dr. Alex O'Conner had a starship as a cradle. His father and mother were both Starfleet officers, and he took on their strengths. His science academia was superb like his father and he knew his way around a phaser like his mother. Just do not ask him to fix machinery. When attending the academy, his professors of science and medical studies gave him an opportunity to study medicine, which he wholeheartedly accepted. He enjoyed his studies, as much as he enjoyed letting loose amongst his peers. Alex could never miss out on a good adventure or a night on the town. Lt. Commander Raissa Moonsong Raissa Moonsong Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Ship's Counselor Age/Species/Sex: 36-year-old Human/Betazoid female Birthplace: Leech Lake, North America, Earth Raissa grew up on Earth and due to her Betazoid grandmother was a touch empath. She originally desired to be a medical doctor, but the pain experienced by her patients became too much for her. She switched her focus to psychology and psychiatry. Unaware of certain quirk of her genetics, Raissa played host to several hundred minds of the Community. Her telepathic/empathic abilities spiked to T6. However, once they had left her body, her ability did not return to its normal range, and she remains a T/E 6. She now limits her interaction with others to block out other thoughts as well as to avoid reading people inadvertently. Despite this change, she remains a skilled counselor and always easy to talk to. Lt. Commander Mei'konda Mei'konda Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Operations Officer Age/Species/Sex: 36-year-old Mei'konda male Birthplace: Terra Nova Born to a scientist mother and a Starfleet father who later disappeared during the Battle of Wolf 359, Mei'konda grew up with stories of his father's heroism and worked hard to make it into Starfleet. He became an ambitious young officer who rose quickly through the ranks, becoming a department head on a large starship by the age of twenty-five. Mei'konda is completely devoted to Starfleet's ideals of peace and exploration, though he can be a little too rigid in his interpretation of regulations. His occasional lack of flexibility has been overlooked by more liberal commanding officers in the past due to his work ethic and intellect. Lt. Commander Luna Walker Luna Walker Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Chief Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 43-year-old Romulan/Human female Birthplace: Romulus Lluneh (Luna) was born on Romulus but raised on Earth after her human ambassador father convinced her Romulan mother to defect. Not knowing this, she enjoyed a happy childhood until her father was murdered by the Tal Shiar. Frustrated at her brother's inability to prove the truth, she took it on herself to trick, sneak, or break in to do so. Caught one too many times, she joined Starfleet as an engineer, where her ability to creatively look at a problem was put to more positive outlets. While outgoing, friendly, and a bit of a prankster normally, she feels personally responsible for any discovered problems around her. Lieutenant JG Carter Greyson Carter Greyson Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Assistant Chief Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 32-year-old Human Male Birthplace: San Jose, California, Earth Carter was born on Earth, and his father indulged his love of Starfleet by obtaining publicly accessible records: namely documentaries made about the captains. He was fascinated by tactics and joined up to graduate as a tactical officer. Years later, he had a life-changing experience which influenced his career path toward becoming an engineer. As a result, he always keeps a tool kit strapped to his boot and says he never leaves his quarters without it. Ensign Kessa T'Dara Kessa T'Dara Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 33-year-old Antosian female Birthplace: Antosia Kessa is an adventurous, curious, and enthusiastic woman. She was born and raised on Antosia with her parents, but the planet was not big enough for her curiousity. Her parents encouraged her to following her adventuresome side, which took a roundabout route (which included trading work on a cargo barge for passage to Starfleet Academy). She loves working in engineering and feels an intuitive connection to machines. Sometimes she even prefers them over other people. Lieutenant Hanar Tuk Hanar Tuk Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Chief of Security Age/Species/Sex: 32-year-old Bolian male Birthplace: Bolarus IX Hanar had a normal family life and childhood, and when he became of age, he joined his parents on their freighter for a number of years before choosing to break from tradition and join Starfleet, selecting security/tactical as his major. His favorite hobby is the culinary arts, having studied this on the side, and he soon became quite the accomplished chef, creating many recipes, both pure and mixed, from different worlds. This also served to satisfy a related love - eating, hence his slightly portly appearance. Despite this, he is remarkably fit and agile, necessary for security duties. His only shortfall is he lacks a significant other, which he would like to remedy, sooner than later. Lieutenant JG Elena Sands Elena Sands Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Security Officer Age/Species/Sex: 31-year-old Human female Birthplace: Earth Somewhat a loner, Elena isn't the sort to care for parties and prefers interactions on a smaller scale. Determined and stubborn, she's not one to mince words, and there have been times her bluntness has caused some conflict. Despite that, she's also loyal, never one to easily give up, and will do her duty. Commander Kelrod Kelrod Rank: Commander Duty Post: Search and Rescue (SAR) Team Leader Age/Species/Sex: 42-year-old Angosian/Betazoid male Birthplace: Deep Space 4 Son of a Betazoid Starfleet counselor and an Angosian war veteran, Marcus Dickens lived on Betazed after the death of his father and developed his empathic skills before joining Starfleet to honor his father and explore galaxy. Having served on many ships and with many captains, he’s a versatile person who loves science and is an easy going person, but when there’s work to be done, he’s the first to get onto it, which may be the reason why his wife asked for divorce. Now he’s starting a new life, carrying an ancient consciousness known as Kelrod within him. Agent Evan Delano Evan Delano Rank: Agent Duty Post: Special Adviser Age/Species/Sex: 35-year-old Human/Vulcan male Birthplace: Albany, New York, Earth Born to a single mother on Earth, Evan had a troubled childhood made worse by unpredictable and sometimes violent mood swings. Under the guidance of a Vulcan mentor, Evan eventually found a functional, but imperfect balance between his aversion to Vulcan ideology, and the necessity of controlling his emotions. That, and a desire to prove himself, was enough to get Evan through the Academy. His first two years in Starfleet earned him a sterling record, and Evan quickly advanced to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and was well respected among his peers until Evan attacked an unarmed prisoner. After pleading guilty at his court martial, Evan eventually requested and was granted an indefinite leave of absence from Starfleet before heading off to the Shoals in pursuit of the Reya-Laialara.
