Lieutenant Sanara Pran is the 2166-year old Acting Chief Security Officer of the USS Columbia. Prior to her current role she served aboard a number of Starfleet vessels such as the USS Blackwell as well several years aboard StarBase 118. Pran's appointment to the role of Acting Security Chief was controversial aboard the Columbia as she actively did not want the position and only agreed on the condition of it being temporary.
The oldest of five children born to Horun and Yeseem Pran, Sanara was born on Stardate 235501.07 at a medical facility in the Trill capital of Gheryzan. Her father owned a small café in the city prior to his retirement and her mother is a seamstress. She is the only member of her immediate family to join Starfleet, with her siblings all seeking employment in the civilian sector.

Tone/Voice
Sanara has a slightly deeper than usual voice for a female Trill. Some might also describe her voice as having a sassy quality to it, as though she is being sarcastic (even though she is not). Though she is careful what she says on duty and in a court of law, she is rather infamous for her inability to think before she speaks when off-duty. When anxious she has a tendency to ramble on until somebody stops her- and sometimes it might take two or three attempts! She has a dry sense of humour that some people not understand. She is an assertive and direct leader, occasionally lacking politeness, but she never the less engenders the trust of her subordinates. When faced with threats to lives of the crew she is sworn to protect, she is no holds barred and will go to any lengths to do her job to the best of her ability.
Footwear
Sanara is well known for her intensive dislike of Starfleet issue footwear, which she finds tight on her feet and 'clumpy'. She much prefers to discharge her duties in specially modified high heels that are manufactured to conform to Starfleet issue guidelines. Much to the bafflement of almost everybody around her, Sanara is able to run quicker in heels than she is in boots.
Personal Life
Clothing
When off duty, Sanara can still often be found in her Starfleet uniform and it is rare to see her out of it. This is because she feels that she is always on stand-by given the often dangerous nature of the Columbia's assignments. On the rare occasion that she does don something other than her uniform, she reveals a surprisingly feminine taste in clothes and has a number of elegant dress-robes for special occasions. She favours Vulcan designers which stems from both her love of Vulcan culture in general and the fact that she dislikes tight fitting garments. Style is not paramount to Sanara, but instead she prefers comfort.
Quarters
- USS Columbia: Deck 5, Senior Officer's Quarters
- USS Blackwell: Deck 9, Junior Officer's Quarters
- StarBase 118: T'Hana Complex, Shi'Kahr District, StarBase 118 Commercial Sector.
Personal Effects
- A keethera: A Vulcan meditation aide given to Sanara by her parents on her 15th birthday thanks to her love of Vulcan culture. She uses this every morning to mentally prepare herself for the day ahead and every night to process the events of the day. She keeps it safe in a box underneath her bed and rarely shows it to anybody.
- An IDIC mandala: Another present from her parents upon her 15th birthday. This has followed Sanara across the quadrant and reminds her to centre herself before leaving her quarters or going to sleep.
- An Alvinian cactus: Sanara has had this since she was an 8 year old girl. Although Alvinian cacti are renowned for living for centuries, she is still impressed with herself that she has managed not to kill it after almost three decades. Of course, she doesn't seem to realise that the reason for it's "longevity" is because she doesn't water it very often.
Diet
- Restrictions: Sanara is a vegetarian and does not consume animal meat of fish. She favours salads although she is allergic to some species of grain (such as quadrotriticale) and therefore much carefully watch what she eats, especially if not eating replicated food. She is also mildly allergic to some Terran nuts but is prescribed medication to allow her to consume them as she finds them delicious.
- Coffee: Sanara is not fond of human coffee finding that it lacks flavour. Her caffeinated beverage of choice is raktajino.
- Tea: Darjeeling and a Betazoid blend known as vrixx.
- Alcohol: Sanara is tee-total and has not consumed alcohol in almost 20 years.
- Favourite Meal: Matopin rock fungi tossed on a bed of tartoc with a side of baldric vinegar.
Hobbies & Interests
- Hobbies:
- Meditation
- Vulcan literature
- Interior design
- 22nd Bajoran music
- Khobeerian art.
- Favourite Colour: Fuchsia
Amongst her colleagues on the Columbia, Sanara is well known for her love of Vulcan culture and spirituality and she has a number of holo-programs featuring the temples of Mount Seleya which she uses to meditate in addition to her keethera and IDIC mandala. On StarBase 118, this interest in Vulcan culture led her to have a reputation for being eccentric and 'odd', especially when she moved to the Shi'Kahr Sector soon after her arrival.
She is also known for her 'eclectic' taste in interior design which may find horrendous. Her old apartment on StarBase 118 was a strange mish-mash of Vulcan minimalism, Bajoran folk music playing through speakers and overstuffed Khobeerian furniture which deterred many visitors to her abode.
