Lieutenant JG '''Jovenan''' is an [[Edo]] Starfleet officer. She is currently serving as the Assistant Chief 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.  

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.

She first boarded the ship just before the ''Excalibur'' left [[Deep Space 224]] for a diplomatic mission. Since the senior officers were occupied with the important meeting, Jovenan's introduction to the ship had to be postponed until after the meeting. The ship ended up facing difficulties, during which Jovenan offered her assistance.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-excalibur/c/LD1hU-GOKKk All this story needs is a confused ensign], Ens.

Commodore [[Kali Nicholotti]] cut the shoreleave short and ordered the crew to return to the ship and the senior officers to report her.

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. She was then appointed the Assistant Chief Science Officer.

Commander Adea ordered Jovenan to report to his office together with Lt [[Vitor Silveira]] and the new Science Ensign [[Sela Kag]].<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/bOaIqugwivg New beginning, new deck layout], Ens. Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240002.20</ref> Commander Adea informed them they will be heading for the [[Da'al|Da’al]] homeworld, [[Meranuge IV]], where a meteor had hit the city of Tecra, killing estimated 10 000 people.

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)" />}}

She invited the new Ensigns Savel, Kader and Lorana to join her for a camping trip to La'kso canyon on Meranuge IV.

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.

After the shoreleave, the ''Artemis'' headed to the [[Paulson Nebula]]. Commander MacKenzie informed the senior staff that in order to familiarize themselves with the ship they would conduct a tactical drill within the Nebula. The ''Artemis'' would engage in simulated space battle against {{USS|Berlin}}, a [[Reliant class]] cruiser on loan from [[Deep Space 224]]. Jovenan was assigned to remain on the ''Artemis'' and man the science station, while half of the senior staff took control of the ''Berlin''.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/jHpwhEUtT4E Drilling through the Nebula], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240005.27</ref> After a series of questions and tactical discussion, the crew took their stations and the ships entered the Nebula.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/n_LrS7DmT8k Yellow is mellow, red is dead], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240006.03</ref>

In the ceremony at the end of the following shoreleave, Jovenan received an Innovation Ribbon for helping clear the ship of the anaesthetic gas and [[Operation Safe Harbor Service Medal]] for the fight against the Suliban pirates. She was also appointed the Assistant Chief Science Officer.<ref name="Momentary Recognition">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/DEUDve_5Tjo Momentary Recognition], Cpt Addison MacKenzie, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240009.03</ref>}}
