Lieutenant JG '''Jovenan''' is an [[Edo]] Starfleet officer. She is currently serving as a science officer aboard the {{USS|Artemis|A}}. Born on the Edo homeworld in 2373, she enrolled in the University of Hurkos in 2390, when the planet was ending its isolation. Upon graduation with degree in Planetary Sciences, she entered the Starfleet Academy. In 2399, she received the commission as ensign and was posted on the {{USS|Excalibur|A}}, later transferring to the ''Artemis'' with much of the ''Excalibur'' crew.

=== Starfleet Academy ===

After graduation from the University of Hurkos, she became interested in [[Starfleet]] and the possibility to explore strange new worlds. She joined the [[Starfleet Academy]] in 2395. Her decision to [[Academy Majors and Minors/Science|major in science]] had been obvious to her before applying to the Academy. Already having a degree in Planetary Science, she chose to broaden her skill set and specialize in something new to her, namely astronomy and xenobiology. She completed a minor in [[Academy Majors and Minors/HCO#Com/Ops Minor|Communications and Operations]]. She didn’t actively hide her being an Edo anymore, but with so many humans around, very few had reason to think she wasn’t one too. She had almost perfect record in sciences but struggled with the mandatory combat and piloting courses.

She completed Starfleet Academy final examination at the [[StarBase 118 Deck Layout#Administration Section|Starbase 118 Campus]]. The examination was supervised by training officer Commander [[Genkos Adea]], assisted by Lieutenant Commander [[Wil Ukinix]]. She assumed the role of the science officer of {{USS|Centris|A}} during an away mission on Durosa, where they had received a distress call.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-academy1/c/dAy1i5EIV8A Let's Get Down To Business], Cmdr.

=== USS ''Excalibur'' ===

[[File:Ensign Jovenan.png|thumb|175px|Jovenan shortly after joining the ''Excalibur'' in 2399.]]

Jovenan was first assigned to {{USS|Excalibur|A}}, a [[Vesta class|''Vesta'' class]] explorer. She was happy to join a vessel with extensive scientific facilities, but she was also uncertain of [[the Borderlands]], the area of operation of the ''Excalibur''.

Her introduction to the ship had to be postponed, as the ship was in middle of a diplomatic mission. After the delegates were poisoned, Jovenan joined the crew she didn't know yet to identify the source and find a cure. She met more of her colleagues during the following shore leave. The leave was however cut short as two officers went missing and were later kidnapped by a group of Klingons wishing to destroy the ''Excalibur''. Jovenan and her colleagues discovered data on their location and status, providing the bridge vital information that helped in avoiding the destruction of the ship. She was awarded her first service ribbons thereafter.

During the shore leave, she took part in an emergency drill, held by Lt. Commander [[Yogan Yalu]]. The drill was held in a holodeck on [[Deep Space 224]], and Jovenan, together with [[Hiro Jones]] and [[Genkos Adea]] had to try and evacuate the sickbay of a [[Galaxy class]] ship in 5 minutes.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-excalibur/c/cNOXaGyBdhk Three-step safety failure], Ens.

=== USS ''Artemis'' ===

Along with many other officers and crewmembers of the ''Excalibur'', Jovenan was transferred to the [[Luna class]] explorer {{USS|Artemis|A}} in 240002. She first boarded the ship after the brief shore leave on [[Deep Space 224]] wearing her new skant uniform.<ref name="...but the life goes on">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-excalibur/c/Qie0dhDuxdg ...but the life goes on], Ens.

Their maiden voyage was to [[Meranuge IV]], where a meteor had hit the city of Tecra. Their relief efforts were cut short after the locals and telepathic crewmembers became aggressive under the effect of [[Da'allium]] dust. After the discovery of the cure and a shoreleave on the planet, Jovenan was promoted to Lieutenant JG. During a drill-turned-fight against pirates, Jovenan showed her skills in operating multiple different systems.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

:''[[Impact (Artemis)]]''

In a ceremony held in Tecra at the end of the following shoreleave, Jovenan received [[Scientific Discovery Ribbon]] for the study of Da'allium, [[Good Conduct Ribbon]] for keeping her team alive, [[Innovation Ribbon]] and [[Legacy Ribbon]].<ref name="Honoring Traditions (Part 1)" />

</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Jovenan reported to the Chief Intelligence Officer [[Talos Dakora]], telling him of Kawarda's report on their analysis why the meteor had hit the city of Tecra. The report indicated that the strike had been artificial and deliberate.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/5d1P5u5uUqQ/ Intentions unknown], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240004.18</ref> They informed Commander MacKenzie of the results.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/uGDwx5-A2Tg/ Above my paygrade], Ens.

She found out about a canyon, known as the La'kso Canyon, which had large kelbonite deposit. She informed Dakora, who asked her to go and study the place closer.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/GOya3_2Ihmw/ To find what is lost, do not to look for it], Ens Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240005.02</ref><ref name="My mission, should I choose to accept it…">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/-8kBvODpiLI/ My mission, should I choose to accept it…], Ens Jovenan, 240005.09</ref>

Near the end of the shoreleave, an awards ceremony was held in a government banquet hall in Tecra. Jovenan was promoted to Lieutenant JG during this awards ceremony.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/pTSItxmGZV4 Honoring Traditions (Part 2)], Cmdr.

Back on the bridge, the bridge crew discovered another ship in the Nebula. Soon after them finding the ship, it opened fire against the ''Berlin''.<ref name="Let's safe the day" /> The ''Artemis'' moved closer to the Suliban ship to protect the ''Berlin'' from the enemy fire. To Jovenan's surprise, the Captain ordered her to take the tactical and fire the Suliban ship, despite her knowing how to use phasers only theoretically. After an initial shot of disputable success, she became enraged at their opponents, hitting them repeatedly until an alarm broke her concentration. The ''Berlin'' had backed out and was preparing to fire at the Suliban ship with torpedoes, risking damage to themselves and the ''Artemis''.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/DS73F92YuPY A flaming sword across the darkened land], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.13</ref> The ''Berlin'' hit both the Suliban ship and the gas surrounding it, damaging the Suliban ship further.

The ''Artemis'' spent the shoreleave on [[Cait Spacedock]]. Feeling homesick, Jovenan checked the departing slipstream starliners from the Spacedock, but none of them coincided with the shoreleave. She then met [[Hiro Jones]] in one of the lounges on the Spacedock Promenade, telling him that she had visited the Spacedock before, as it had been one of the stops for her transport to the Academy.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/CsI23JUei14 The faraway worlds], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.20</ref> Hiro also told of a matter pressing him, but due to the public nature of their meeting place, they didn't continue further with it. Instead, Hiro asked if Jovenan could show him the Sensor Pod, to which Jovenan agreed.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/xq9usYRX4XY Please no food or beverages in the sensor area], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.20</ref> Having sensed Jovenan had more on her mind than she had told, Hiro asked about it. Jovenan confessed that she had started to view the crew as a family and not having seen her old family in more than five years, breaking in tears and instinctively hugging Hiro. After calling him her brother, Jovenan realised she might have crossed the line by hugging him without permission.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/WqaqhJwMGAw We're All Broken Within, Brother], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.22</ref> Hiro, however, was happy to be referred to as her brother, and promised never to judge her for being who she was. After she calmed down, Hiro asked her if he could try out the TOV suit. She offered to hold a training session on the use of it for him.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/TmnAN9gC6n4/ Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.25</ref> Studying the nearby moon Rea, Hiro passed the training.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/xtv8ceRUamQ/ First time teacher here, how do I grade a test?], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240008.01</ref>
