Nestira Aristren is currently serving as Chief Counsellor on Starbase 118.

Background


Childhood and Adolescense

Nestira was born in 2303 and, as the (slightly) younger of twin daughters, grew up in a stable and protected environment. From young age on, Nestira and her sister Elidi displayed above average telepathic abilities, and benefitted greatly from their family's encouragement to develop this gift further. Despite looking identical, Elidi was adventurous and impulsive like her mother, while Nestira seemed to have inherited her father's calm and calculating personality - and of course that caused some friction, but never malevolence, and they often referred to each other as their best friend.

Elidi was killed during an uprising against their Cardassian oppressors, and after a period of being angry at everyone and everything, Nestira felt obligated to experience what her sister had always dreamed of - leaving home and exploring the Galaxy. She left Basul Rodul II in 2361 and spent a decade traveling from one system to the other and quickly learned that her expanded lifespan and the experiences were a valuable resource to younger individuals. When she - largely on a whim - decided to join Starfleet Academy, her telepathy aided her through the entrance exams and interview questions. Her unconventional entry into Starfleet did, however, not mean that she wasn't a dedicated Cadet, interested in learning. As such, she graduated from Starfleet Academy as Counsellor four years later.

Counsellor aboard Starbase 118 Ops

Upon graduating, Nestira was posted to the Starbase 118 Ops where she began working as a Counsellor. Disinterested in career advancement she progressed through the ranks slowly, and when she grew unhappy with staying at one place too long, she took a Leave of Absence during which she resumed traveling. Once she returned, she resumed her position as Counsellor and advisor, specialising in assisted memory recovery - something that helped people, and at the same time advanced her telepathy further. That was until she was sought out by Intel to assist in the recovery of vital information from an individual unwilling to provide it.

Return to Starbase 118 Ops

In 2398, Nestira returned to Starbase 118 as Advanced Interrogation Specialist. Having grown dissatisfied with living amongst species who were neither as telepathic nor shared her long lifespan, her aim was be able to return to Basul Rodul - and because the idea of a someone using their abilities to retrieve information didn't sit well with Rodulan society, Nestira quickly voiced the goal of returning to her role as Counsellor. She was given the position of Chief Counsellor in 2399.

Missions and B-Plots


When a 1000 hours mission briefing with Sal Taybrim gets moved up last minute, the crew expects that such urgent news is not good - a suspicion that quickly proves to be correct. A tricobald bomb is found aboard the SS Belladonna, a massive passenger liner. Upon their arrival, Ops' crew begins evacuations but quickly realize that the saboteurs are still on board. Nestira remains at Sal's side throughout the mission and together with Tito uncovers the saboteurs identities.

  • The Game

Despite having been granted a position as Chief Counsellor, Nestira is approached for an undercover mission on Miranda VII, which she infiltrates as Nyra Altman.
