Command Division: Rahman, commanding officer Blake, first officer Flynn, helm officer Operations Division: Ukinix, second officer & chief engineer Vanlith, assistant chief engineer Rao, engineer Kelrod, chief of security Parker, operations officer Sciences Division: Lafizatar, science officer Navarro, ship's counselor 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. Commander Sky Blake Sky Blake Rank: Commander Duty Post: First Officer Age/Species/Sex: 38-year-old Brekkian/Betazoid female Birthplace: Brekka Blake was recruited to Starfleet by the Veritas' first XO, Zhou Tai-Sheng, to assist with ongoing trafficking of the Brekkian drug 'felicium' in the Shoals. Of Brekkian and Betazoid heritage, born on the Brekkian homeworld of Delos IV, Blake is the widow of Lieutenant Sabor, and mother of two children (Faith and Ayeden Blake). She is related to the Eleventh House of Betazed through her mother Lila Cole, though isn't enthralled in the Betazoid politics surrounding the noble Houses. She prefers to be referred to only by her surname, or (as per protocol) by rank. Lt. Commander Antero Flynn Antero Flynn Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Helm Officer Age/Species/Sex: 35-year-old Risian male Birthplace: Risa (Epsilon Ceti ll) Antero Flynn was born in Suraya Bay on Risa. When his younger brothers vessel went missing and was suspected destroyed, he vowed to do more with his life than to host tourists and compete in surfing competitions. The first time Antero strode onto the bridge of a starship those who knew him would have described him as a light hearted, fun loving guy who lived for thrill and never stopped moving. During shore leave he was the life of the party, during missions he poured everything he had into the helm of a starship, the more dangerous the better. Lt. Commander Wil Ukinix Wil Ukinix Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Second Officer, Chief Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 31-year-old Human/Betazoid male Birthplace: Freemantle, Australia, Earth Wil was born and raised in Fremantle, Australia, to a half Human/Betazoid father, and Human mother. Wil wanted to join Starfleet from a young age, to be like his mother who was a Starfleet tactical officer. He inherited his Betazoid grandfather's empathic abilities (which Wil keeps to himself), and even though he received counselling in his late teen years to cope with them, they can make him anxious at times. Wil has a wicked, cheeky sense of humour, and likes to make light of most situations - which isn't always well accepted by others. Lieutenant Charlena Vanlith Charlena Vanlith Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 28-year-old Risian female Birthplace: Suraya Bay, Risa Born and raised in Suraya Bay Charlena, named after her father, is used to the typical quiet serenity except for the one time a year where tourism spikes drastically for Lohlunat. It was during these celebrations and her upbringing around tourists that lead to her fascination as to what else was out there in the universe. Despite her typical averageness at school she put so much work and focus into engineering she past one of the top of her class and she couldn't be happier about it. She left with an engineering major with an extra minor in xenobiology. She was finally going to start the job she had dreamed of. And she was going to start on USS Veritas as an engineering officer working for the greater good. Ensign Kionn Rao Kionn Rao Rank: Ensign Duty Post: Engineer Age/Species/Sex: 31-year-old El-Aurian male Birthplace: Beta Quadrant Liberated from the Collective seven years ago by the crew of the USS Sojourner, Kionn reclaimed the individuality stolen from him as a child and crafted an entire persona for himself from scratch. Seeing Starfleet as one of the few places where he could develop as an individual free of the discrimination former Drones face and owing them his life, Kionn attended Starfleet Academy when the Sojourner returned to Earth. There he reclaimed or discovered more of himself, finding interests and hobbies like surfing and yoga and even some El-Aurian cultural touchstones like Tworin. The Veritas is Kionn's first deep space assignment after his graduation from the California Institute of Technology with a Doctorate in Applied Physics. Commander Kelrod Kelrod Rank: Commander Duty Post: Chief of Security 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. Lt. Commander Hannibal Parker Hannibal Parker Rank: Lt. Commander Duty Post: Operations Officer Age/Species/Sex: 46-year-old Human male Birthplace: Houston, Texas Hannibal was born to two loving parents on Earth, his sister following four years later. Hannibal grew bigger and stronger than most children, and he had an aggressive streak which never ceased to get him into trouble. Expert sniper, hand to hand combat, demolitions, sabotage, uses of many weapons. Expert tracker, skilled in insertion and extraction. Enlisted before the beginning of the Dominion War and fought in several ground campaigns, including the final assault on Cardassia. His unit was paired with a Klingon ground unit for most of the war due to his Marine units' ferocious combat style and refusal to give ground during the fiercest fighting. Lieutenant JG Zhanyt Lafizatar Zhanyt Lafizatar Rank: Lieutenant JG Duty Post: Science Officer Age/Species/Sex: 30-year-old Mathenite female Birthplace: Mathen Zhanyt is a very tall dark skinned woman, with a ponytail of rainbow-colored hair that goes down to her back and gold piercing eyes. A lithe woman with moderate musculature, and sharp edged beauty, her most distinctive feature is her tall bunny like ears. Well, that and she's insanely tall. Her father was an architect, and her mother was a writer. In 2380, the family took up the offer of the Confederacy to start a new colony and moved to Zeta Pavlionis. While her father was excited to help design a new city to show the potential and wisdom of Mathenites, Zhanyt soon missed the deserts she grew up in. As a devout follower of the Light of the Night Sky, Zhanyt chose to see it as a challenge to grow. Lieutenant Callistra Navarro Callistra Navarro Rank: Lieutenant Duty Post: Ship's Counselor Age/Species/Sex: 37-year-old Betazoid/Human female Birthplace: Juarez, Mexico, Earth Callistra and her twin sister were raised by their mother. As a single parent, she taught them to rely on themselves and each other before she passed away when they were 16. They never knew their father since he died just before they were born. The twins worked hard to make a better life for themselves as their mother had wished, Visona becoming a medical doctor while Callistra became a psychiatrist. Callistra went into private practice at first. But after she was called in to consult with a number of Starfleet veterans, she decided she could do more on the front lines than from a seat on Earth.
