History

Childhood and The Great Assimilation

Vada’s early childhood was a relatively peaceful one. She was born to a psychiatrist, Vollin, and a bartender named Tielra. The family lived in a cliffside cottage overlooking the natural beauty of El-Auria. As soon as she saw how beautiful homeworld was, Vada knew that she wanted to explore it all. She would never get the chance.

The Borg arrived when Vada was still little and began assimilating the entire El-Aurian homeworld. Including her father, who was taken right in front of the family. Tielra took Vada and fled, managing to find passage aboard an ore freighter that fled El-Auria as it was destroyed. Thus began a period where the family was without any permanent home. They found refuge anywhere that would take them or on any ship that would transport them.

Diaspora

After years of wandering, Vada and her mother arrived on Earth in 2288. Tielra opened an inn outside of Paris, catering to visitors to the Federation capital. Vada’s childhood and teenage years were spent helping around in the inn and listening to all of the interesting visitors. While her mother saw Earth as little more than an emergency refuge and didn’t think much one way or another of the Federation, Vada was quick to fall in love with the Human homeworld and saw herself as a citizen of Federation as much as a citizen of what was once El-Auria.

Two of her closest friends growing up were the children of a Starfleet captain who lived in the same town as the family inn. She heard all about stories of adventure in Starfleet. The idea of the organization appealed to her inner explorer. And she was already comfortable with life aboard ships. Starfleet seemed like an excellent opportunity for her. But her mother vehemently disagreed. While Vada was an adult by Federation standards, Tielra took the view that Vada wouldn’t really be considered mature enough until she was in her 30s if not all the way up to 50. She was not about to let her little girl go anywhere near such a dangerous organization until she was responsible enough to make that decision for herself.

Enlisting in Starfleet

At age 18. Vada decided to enlist in Starfleet anyway. After basic training she was assigned to the USS Forberance as a torpedo bay crewman. For almost the first ten years of her career, working with weapons and explosives was the focus of her career. She learned everything there was to know about probes, photon torpedoes, and other ordnance used by Starfleet. At the start, she rose through the ranks a bit slower than usual. As a crewman she was prone to getting into mischief and ended up being disciplined more than once. Despite a rough early start, she found her footing and went on to work as an EOD and torpedo specialist.

In 2305, she underwent crossrating training as a logistics specialist. She worked on the then-ancient {{USS|Unity}, an aging Constitution class. Before the creation and full implementation of the operations department and the operations bridge officer role, logistics fell under the command division and worked with personnel from various departments to ensure proper supplies and resources were allocated according to need. After the Unity, Vada moved to Starbase 11 and continued in her role.

Starbase 11 was where she met Commander Eneaol, the base’s Intelligence Director. She was his yeoman for a little over two years. He arranged for her to become an intelligence specialist, supporting Starfleet Intelligence operations both from the starbase and sometimes in the field in the Klingon Empire. The job taught her investigative skills that would come in handy much later in her life. A potentially promising career as an intelligence asset was put on hold after a stabbing by an Orion Syndicate enforcer required her to take medical leave on Earth to recover.

Chief Vada on duty

Senior NCO

After a few months of medical leave on Earth, Vada transferred to security as a master-at-arms. She started on the Oberth class Benajmin Franklin and then the Ambassador class Yamaguchi. On the Yamaguchi, Vada got her first taste of command. While some previous assignments had placed her in temporary positions of command, she rarely held a supervisory role. Exceptional job performance had carried her to chief with limited experience as a proper NCO leading teams of less-experienced enlisted.

Aboard the Yamaguchi, she was the non-commissioned officer in charge in security for Alpha Shift for four and a half years. To her surprise, leadership came naturally. She was a good listener and able to keep peace within the ranks of the security department. The Alpha Shift team ran like a well-oiled machine. Vada even had the ear of the assistant chief of security, suggesting tweaks to how things were run. To her annoyance, she was transferred in 2318, moving to the USS Melroy.

Aboard both the Excelsior class USS Melroy, and the USS Kyushu, Chief Vada served as chief of the boat, the senio-rmost enlisted officer available on each ship. She monitored the crewmen and NCOs of each department, monitoring their concerns and bringing them to the captain. The task saw her back in red. After three years, Captain Scott of the Kyushu recommended her for a prestigious assignment for senior NCO’s, a post at Starfleet Academy as a drill instructor.

What she expected to be a minor but interesting assignment would dominate her Starfleet career. Vada rose through the ranks of the enlisted instructors at the Academy, teaching a few generations of Starfleet recruits what it meant to be Starfleet officers. In 2352, she moved to the Starfleet Command School, instructing cadets undergoing advanced command training and trainees in the Officer Candidate School who earned their commissions through atypical means. While a tough instructor, Vada was more understanding than most and would give advice to struggling recruits and cadets to foster their growth into new crewmen and ensigns ready to take on the galaxy.

Retirement from the Service

After a long tenure at Starfleet Academy, Vada returned to security as a senior NCO in the security department on Earth Spacedock. The posting only lasted a few months. In early 2367, a Borg cube destroyed 39 Starfleet ships and came within minutes of assimilating Earth itself. Multiple ships that Vada had served on had just been destroyed and another homeworld was about to be assimilated. And Vada froze. She failed to reach her duty station and remained in the bunks, having a serious anxiety attack.

There was a disciplinary panel, but the panel was sensitive to the reasons behind her failure to report to duty and were not considering anything too serious in terms of discipline. However, Vada requested to retire from Starfleet altogether. If the Borg were back and finally in the Federation, she was not confident in her ability to face that threat again. She was allowed to retire in good standing on Stardate 236704.18. She started writing after her retirement. She wrote a book about her own early life as a refugee of the Borg and would write multiple fictional titles too. A friend submitted one of her accounts of what seeing the assimilation of a planet was like to the FNS on her behalf, getting her a job offer as a correspondent. A position Vada accepted just in time for galactic affairs to become very newsworthy.

The Dominion War served as a trial by fire for the new journalist. She was out in the field as a war reporter, seeing the devastation of the war firsthand. Her Starfleet experience made her a logical choice for dangerous front line assignments. It was during the war that a concealed phaser became a standard part of Vada’s journalistic toolkit. She leveraged her Starfleet background to get close to Starfleet units and was one of the closest civilians to the fighting during battle. While her Dominion War coverage was exemplary, disagreements with management and a newly-developed habit of sticking her nose where it didn’t belong ensured that Vada would not be with the Federation News Service for much longer. She enjoyed her newfound freedom from decades of protocol and military life a bit too much and could sometimes rub people the wrong way with her meddling.

Leisure Travel and Independent Journalism

Postwar, Vada spent most of the 2380s traveling without much in the way of any responsibilities. She did whatever was interesting. Bartending, teaching, working on a freighter. And the whole time she got to see new things and hear new stories from interesting people. But one event would draw her back in to journalism. The destruction of Romulus.

Given popular attitudes about the attempted evacuation of Romulus and their status as a former enemy, Vada worried the struggles of the Romulan people would be ignored by major publishers. So, she spent four years living among the survivors and documenting precious Romulan history now at risk of being forgotten. She could sympathize with the loss of a homeworld and gathered various Romulan perspectives on the future of the Empire and of Romulans everywhere. She managed to get her stories published in a few smaller outlets and wrote a book titled In The Shadow of Hobus, documenting the effects on the Romulan people.

After that, Vada went to hotspots of newsworthy activity all over the Alpha Quadrant. As her reputation improved, she saw her work published by larger outlets without ever signing on with any of them as a full-time journalists. She remained independent, flying around the galaxy and finding truth wherever it was hidden. In the months leading up to Frontier Day, Vada was tracking the story developing in the Alpha Isles. On Frontier Day, had been on the way to visit Earth, where she remained for a few weeks before catching a ride to Deep Space Nine. As she was about to wrap up her short vacation and finally find transportation to the Alpha Isles, she spotted one of the very ships she had been reading about, the USS Khitomer.

Relationships

Doctor Vollin, Aged 507 at time of death, El-Aurian Male (he/him)

Father

Current Status: Deceased, killed during the Great Assimilation of El-Auria.

Vada has precious few memories of her father from their time on El-Auria. He was thrilled to finally have a child and was always very encouraging with Vada. When a Borg drone beamed near their group during an attempt to escape El-Auria, he attacked the drone bare-handed to led Tielra and Vada get away. She watched the Borg drone beam him away and still has nightmares about where her father is now as a drone.

Tielra, Age 536, El-Aurian Female (she/her)

Mother

Current Status: Alive, working as an innkeeper in France on Earth.

Tielra is Vada’s lifeline back to El-Auria. She loves her daughter dearly and would do anything to keep her safe. She is very protective of Vada and did not want her to enlist in Starfleet until she was in her 40s or 50s. Despite Vada going behind her back to enlist, Tielra let go of her anger easily and eagerly looks forward to each visit when Vada returns “home” to Earth.

Daktam, Age 367, El-Aurian Male (he/him)

Second Cousin

Current Status: Alive, a wanderer of the stars.

Daktam is hardly the closest member of Vada’s family, but was one of the few survivors of the Great Assimilation. Tielra kept in contact and asked him to stop by when he could to give her and his cousin whatever small connection to their own people as possible. Vada rarely sees him, Daktam never stays in one place for long.

George Jackson Kirby, Aged 98 at time of death, Human Male (he/him)

Best Friend

Current Status: Deceased, died of natural causes in 2379.

George and younger sister Amber Kirby were childhood best friends of Vada, growing up in the same town of Chantilly, France outside of Paris. Their father was a Starfleet captain on a deep space assignment. Their stories of his adventures helped inspire Vada to enlist. George went on to serve as a local politician, remaining on Earth is entire life.

Captain (ret.) Amber Christina Kirby, Age 116, Human Female (she/her)

Best Friend

Current Status: Alive, living on Archer IV with her husband and retired from Starfleet.

Amber and older brother George Kirby were childhood best friends of Vada, growing up in the same town of Chantilly, France outside of Paris. Their father was a Starfleet captain on a deep space assignment. Their stories of his adventures helped inspire Vada to enlist. Vada and Amber kept in touch even once Amber opted to go the route of a commissioned officer. Unlike so many other friends, Amber is still alive and living on Archer IV with her husband, three children, ten grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

Lieutenant Commander Lucius Claudius Celer, Age 116 (Biological Age: 82), Magna Roman Male (he/him)

Friend and Former Superior

Current Status: Alive, serving as an instructor at Starfleet Academy.

Assistant Chief of Security aboard the USS Yamaguchi during Vada’s time on the ship. He provided some guidance on being a leader as Vada dealt with large amounts of junior enlisted under her watch for the first time and encouraged her to follow her instincts. He was aboard the Yamaguchi when it disappeared and was presumed lost, but was recovered in 2392 and returned to active duty after treatment for timeline reintegration with the Department of Temporal Investigations.

Petty Officer First Class T'Minn, Aged 80 at time of death, Vulcan Female (she/her)

Friend

Current Status: Deceased, KIA at the Battle of Wolf 359 Aboard USS Kyushu.

One of the NCOs under Vada’s supervision aboard the USS Kyushu. Despite a lack of experienced NCOs aboard the ship at the time, T’Minn stepped up and became a valuable part of the team and helped Vada wrangle the large numbers of new crewmen in engineering to whip them into shape. Vada also considered her a good friend beyond a valuable colleague.

Captain Armas Rautio, Aged 68 at time of death, Human Male (he/him)

Friend and Former CO

Current Status: Deceased, KIA at the Battle of Wolf 359 Aboard USS Kyushu.

Vada’s favorite commanding officer. The captain of the USS Kyushu trusted her as a valued source of insight into the welfare of the enlisted aboard his ship while she was serving aboard the Kyushu. Of her many friends aboard the ship, he was the one she most hoped would have survived the Battle of Wolf 359.

Senior Chief Petty Officer Saadrir Rurer, Age 75, Trill Male (he/him)

Friend

Current Status: Alive, serving as a recruit division commander at Starfleet Academy.

Saadir was a junior drill instructor at the Academy serving in Vada’s recruit division. Saadir was lacking in confidence when they first met, but she gave him some tough love to force him to step up and become the type of drill instructor he needed to be. By the time that Vada left the Academy, she hoped that Saadir would take her place as a recruit division commander, which he eventually did.

Centurion Vretaix, Age 43, Romulan Male (he/him)

Friend

Current Status: Alive, serving in the military of the Romulan Free State.

Vretaix was one of Vada's most helpful sources for her reports on the after-effects of the Hobus supernova. The former Imperial Navy officer was leading a small group of survivors at the time which played host to a diverse range of viewpoints on the Star Empire and if it even deserved to be rebuilt. She remained on their colony world for nearly a year, conducting interviews and recording large amounts of Romulan oral history to be preserved for future generations. She grew close to Vretaix during that time and considers him a friend with very interesting views on Romulan history and philosophy that they could discuss and debate for days.

Commander (ret.) Dorre Eneaol, Aged 63 at time of death, Betazoid Male (he/him)

Former Superior and Professional Mentor

Current Status: Deceased, killed in a shuttle crash in 2321 after retirement.

Commander Eneaol was the intelligence director at Starbase 11 who felt Vada could be a good intelligence operative after working with her when she was his yeoman. Despite how her brief tenure in intelligence ended, Vada remained grateful for the experiences and would sometimes write Eneaol for career advice.

Commodore Sakkev, Age 86, Vulcan Male (he/him)

Former CO

Current Status: Alive, serving as a senior professor at Starfleet Academy.

Easily Vada’s least favorite commanding officer, she dreaded any time she had to deal with the Vulcan commander. Even with multiple levels of officers between them, the two found ways to butt heads over the smallest things. It was by his influence that she eventually wound up on Earth Spacedock to get her away from Starfleet Academy.

Lessi Torod, Age 53, Trill Female (she/her)

Former Editor and Professional Rival

Current Status: Alive, retired and living in Paris, Earth.

Vada’s FNS editor during the Dominion War. While their work together earned multiple awards for journalism and brought critical viewpoints of the war to the homefront, the two hated each other. They tried to speak as little as possible. Lessi saw that Vada was not kept on as an FNS journalist after she repeatedly caused irritation from the alliance units she was embedded in as a combat correspondent by getting too far into combat.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Samuel Erickson Chapman, Aged 37 at time of disappearance, Human Male (he/him)

Ex-Boyfriend

Current Status: Presumed deceased, MIA since 2314.

Vada and Sam dated aboard the USS Princeton, a relationship that was very serious but ended in a bitter break-up after Vada accepted crossrating training that would mean she left the Princeton. Vada always wanted to make things up to him and maybe be friends again but never got the chance. Sam disappeared aboard the USS Wisconsin in 2314 with no satisfying explanation.
