 Sinda Essen graduated Starfleet Academy with a mixed bag of results. Despite a well-rounded education from the Vedeks she scored fairly low in sciences and engineering but proved to have an impressive grasp of spacial awareness and logistics, consistently scoring highly on tactical simulations. That, along with a talent for unarmed combat she’d picked up through numerous brawls after leaving the orphanage, made Essen perfectly suited to her first posting as a Tactical/Security officer on the Intrepid-class USS Eagle.
-After only a few months her skills were rewarded and Essen was promoted to junior Lieutenant and appointed as the Eagle’s Chief Tactical Officer.  Bad luck had a habit of plaguing the Eagle, however, and in 2388, during an engagement with a remotely piloted Cardassian cruiser, the Eagle was caught in the shockwave from two exploding ships. The Eagle’s forward shields had been overcharged to withstand the barrage of Cardassian phaser fire but this was to prove unfortunate for Essen as the vast amount of energy caused an overload in the tactical console directly behind her.
-The resulting explosion severed her lower spine, paralysing her from the waist down and she was placed in stasis as the crippled USS Eagle limped back to SB118.
+After only a few months her skills were rewarded and Essen was promoted to junior Lieutenant and appointed as the Eagle’s Chief Tactical Officer.
-Once there, Dr Dantin-Vex and Dr Mike implanted bio-mechanical devices to repair her spine during intensive surgery, enabling Essen to walk again.

The Eagle’s forward shields had been overcharged to withstand the barrage of Cardassian phaser fire but this was to prove unfortunate for Essen as the vast surge of energy caused an overload in the tactical console directly behind her.

 That skirmish marked the end of the Eagle and she was shipped back to Mars for another complete refit. The crew were instead moved onto a virtual relic, the Miranda-class USS Drake, where Essen once again took up her duties as Chief Tactical Officer, receiving a promotion to full Lieutenant the same month.
-During her time on the Drake, Lieutenant Sinda assisted in escorting a convoy of Romulan refugees after the destruction of their home planet,  spent some time undercover as a Tellarite along with Intelligence Officer Oliver Weston while investigating a giant alien ring, travelled with the rest of the crew to ‘null space’ to rescue a stranded David Whale, helped establish contact with a race of ‘space whalers’ and spent yet more time undercover with the Drake crew as pirates beyond the edges, and the law, of Federation space.
-Sinda became close friends with the android engineer Pandora, seeing in the construct a kindred spirit. She also established a friendship with Aron Kells, an enthusiastic young science officer. On Vulcan, she accompanied him to the trial of The Infernal, a Romulan accused of the genocide of an entire race. Later, the pair were kidnapped by The Infernal  after his escape when he claimed to be Aron’s grandfather. However, after a transporter accident merged Aron with a version of himself from eight years in the future, Ess found the change hard to deal with.

+* Relationships
+Sinda became close friends with the android engineer Pandora, seeing in the construct a kindred spirit. Both officers are straight talking and no-nonsense and neither is the type to suffer fools gladly.
+Another strong female friend Essen respects is Sakorra Jefferson Reed. Again, the Vulcan woman is someone who speaks her mind. Essen suspects they may have more in common, neither of them exactly fitting in with their native races, but so far Essen hasn't had the nerve to ask Reed about her past.
+Sinda Essen also established a friendship with Aron Kells, an enthusiastic young science officer. On Vulcan, she accompanied him to the trial of The Infernal, a Romulan accused of the genocide of an entire race. Later, the pair were kidnapped by The Infernal during his escape when he claimed to be Aron’s grandfather.
+Some time later, after a transporter accident merged Aron with a version of himself from eight years in the future, Ess found the change hard to deal with. Aron transferred off the Drake a short time later and Essen lost touch, something she still regrets.
