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.

Early life and education

---

Jovenan was born on Rubicun III, the Edo homeworld. She was raised communally, common in her home region. She had a happy childhood, but as she grew up, she found she had no desire for intimate relations, an important aspect of Edo culture. While the other members of her community were accepting of her, she started to feel herself an outsider in her own culture. This roused her longing to leave Rubicun III.

In 2390, she was accepted to University of Hurkos Bachelor Programme in Planetary Sciences. Pending the permission of the Edo God and governance to leave the still partly isolationist planet, the university allowed her to participate in education remotely from Rubicun III. She excelled in her studies, and she was eventually allowed to leave for Hurkos III. The life in the campus was, however, too large a cultural shock for her, and she also faced harassment due to her culture. She faced mental difficulties, and her grades plummeted. Her community back home pleaded her to return, and she eventually agreed. She spent almost a year on Rubicun III before returning to Hurkos III to complete her remaining studies. This time she passed as human, which made it easier for her to concentrate on studying, and she graduated in 2395.

Service

Jovenan after her graduation from the Starfleet Academy, before her first assignment.

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 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 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 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.

USS Excalibur

Jovenan shortly after joining the Excalibur in 2399.

Jovenan was first assigned to USS Excalibur-A, a 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.

The Trouble with Tacos

The Trouble With Tacos (Excalibur)

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. She worked with Chief Science Officer Etan Iljor and Counsellor Seta Jinean to analyse the pathogen that had infected visiting ambassadors. After the sudden departure of the CSO, Counsellor Seta requested Jovenan to take the lead of the scientific endeavour.

Working together with Counsellor Seta, Jovenan created a program that tested their hypothesis by subjecting holographic copies of the cells of the targeted individuals to the pathogen. She also took a blood sample from Counsellor Gott. The blood sample analysis provided them with information that could help them device a cure to the pathogen to avoid future incidents. Jovenan presented their findings to Doctor Genkos Adea, with whom she carried on to work in order to find the cure and analyse the pathogen.

She was awarded the Lifesaving Ribbon for helping discover the cure, although the ribbon could only be awarded after the following mission.

Shoreleave 239912

During her first shoreleave on Excalibur, Jovenan participated on an EVA orientation held by Commander Karrod Niac. She was joined Ensigns Hera Kijana and Hiro Jones, who had joined the crew after her. During the orientation, they encountered a problem when the airlock closed behind them and could not be opened due to remnants of the computer virus from the previous mission. They tried to reach the marine hanger However, they had to opt for jumping to the Deep Space 224 some 200 metres away, where they were docked. After initial success, their anchoring gave in and they hurled towards the station. Luckily, they survived with minor injuries.

She also visited Doctor Genkos Adea for new crewmembers medical evaluation. She received thermal underlayers and permission to control the room temperature when alone after complaining of feeling chilly.

Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek (Excalibur)

Commodore Kali Nicholotti cut the shoreleave short and ordered the crew to return to the ship and the senior officers to report her. In absence of Chief Science Officer, she gathered the science department and reported to the mission briefing. The Commodore informed the senior staff that the First Officer, Commander Addison MacKenzie and Chief Intelligence Officer, Lieutenant Talos Dakora are missing and that they will try to find them.

The Captain ordered Jovenan to join Lieutenant Seta and Ensign Jones and try to find where the two officers had gone and why. Reviewing the evidence, the team tried to deduce what the two officers where intending and what was the heading of the Daisy, the Maquis Raider they used. They also discovered that the two officers had met briefly before their departure under suspicious circumstance. Jovenan informed the Captain of their findings.

Jovenan was ordered to provide them a detailed analysis of the surrounding space. However, en route to the astrometrics lab the Captain ordered her to the bridge instead. Meanwhile, the fake distress beacon exploded in the cargobay, where it had been transported to after being spotted in the empty space. The turbolift got stuck and the communications went down, trapping Jovenan. She was soon rescued by Ensign Kawarda, to whom she had been talking to via commlink when the explosion occurred. She decided to go to the astrometrics with Kawarda, as she thought her chances of assisting the Captain were better there than on the Bridge as the necessary equipment were going offline.

In the astrometrics, they conducted an analysis of the data the sensors had received. They found an ion trail to follow, and two transmissions that needed to be decoded. They didn't have appropriate program at hand, so Jovenan had to opt to leave for Shuttlebay 2, where they believed a shuttle not affected by the system malfunctions could be used decoding the messages. She devised a method of communicating between her and Kawarda before leaving. While walking there, Kawarda told her he had analysed the trail and found that the Daisy was hiding in the nearby Azure Nebula.

In the Shuttlebay, she found out that the shuttlebay door was partially open and the forcefield was flickering due to the malfunctions. She chose a shuttle in a hurry. However, she was stopped by Crewman Tripu Lante, who was evacuating the Shuttlebay and whom she ordered to help her. With the help of Crewman Lante, she managed to send Daisy’s location data to the bridge. Soon after, she decoded one of the transmissions and found out it was the distress call by MacKenzie and Dakora, who were captured by a group of Klingon renegades. She transmitted the bridge the transcription of the transmission, as well as the description of a method of fighting the nanobots behind the malfunction, which Kawarda had found. When the shuttlebay unexpectedly decompressed, they were stranded in the shuttle Ector. Preparing for the worst, she refamiliarized Crewman Lante to the shuttle's weapons and shields controls, but the fight ended and they were rescued by Ensign Kawarda.

She received the Innovation Ribbon and the Good Conduct Ribbon for her actions during the mission.

Shoreleave 240002

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. Despite their efforts, they had to abandon some of the wounded behind. In the very last seconds, Jovenan stumbles and is helped to the escape pod by Jones. They had to leave the patient Jovenan was helping behind them. She took losing the holographic woman hard and cried after as the program ended.

She also gave Jones tour in the astrometrics lab, demostrating the microgravity properties while showing him the holographs of the Azure Nebula and her homeworld, Rubicun III. Jones invited her to a movie night, which will be her first time seeing an Earth movie. She also had an appointment with Counsellor Seta Jinean, discussing her fears and doubts about being in Starfleet.

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.

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. Jovenan had to make effort to keep her teammates from getting hurt. After the cure was discovered, the Artemis spent the shoreleave on the planet's orbit.

Impact

Impact (Artemis)

Commander Adea ordered Jovenan to report to his office together with Lt Vitor Silveira and the new Science Ensign Sela Kag. Commander Adea informed them they will be heading for the Da’al homeworld, Meranuge IV, where a meteor had hit the city of Tecra, killing estimated 10 000 people. The team would beam down to the Palace of Culture, which operated as an triage centre, and provide relief aid. After the briefing session, Jovenan was asked by Lt Talos Dakora to join him in the Astrometrics. Lt Dakora asked Jovenan to help him investigate why the meteor had hit the city without the locals' knowledge or reaction. However, they had to leave their investigation as they approached the planet.

Jovenan and the team beamed down onto the planet's surface, finding the city largely destroyed. They met Jiah Kleebohn, Da’al rescue coordinator and their contact person. Jovenan scanned the air, not finding anything that could be dangerous to the team. They quickly noticed that Kleebohn was easily agitated, although Jovenan thought mostly about stress and lack of adueqate training. They started beaming down the relief aid and building up a distribution line.

Quickly after setting up the distribution line, a large, uncontrollable crowd of refugees residing in the Palace of Culture came to the area. While the senior officers were attempting to establish order, Jovenan received a call from Ensign Jones. She went to a courtyard to talk with him. Jones and his team had discovered an unusual molecular compound from the dust in the crater. Jovenan deduced the substance was created by the meteor impact, although some of the substance's properties remained unexplained. Considering the substance unimportant and unable to find it in the courtyard, Jovenan returned to the distribution area, where the other team members were attempting to control the crowd. However, as soon as she began to explain the call, her tricorder found some of the substance in the distribution area, and she left to contact Jones again. They deduced the substance had caused the Da’al and Commander Adea to behave aggressively, and she went back in to warn the team of the danger.

Commander Adea and Kleebohn, under the influence of the aggression inducing dust, reacted badly to the news. Adea attacked Kleebohn with his cane and had to be subdued by Silveira. However, Kleebohn caught Silveira's phaser and started shooting the Starfleet officers with it, hitting Adea, stunning him. Jovenan called for an emergency beam-out, and the team was quickly transported back to the Artemis. As soon as they rematerialized, she ordered a contamination field to be erected around the transporter platform, in order to avoid the dust from affecting the crew. Silveira checked on Adea, who managed to get a hidden blade from his prosthetic leg and penetrated Silveira's shoulder with it. Working under Silveira's orders, Jovenan quarantined the transporter room and left the platform field, trapping Silveira with Adea. Wanting to avoid further damage to Silveira, she used the transporter to beam him to the sickbay, leaving Adea alone behind the force field.

Having saved Silveira and trapped Adea, she scanned the air and observed that the dust had dissipated after they had beamed up, as she had expected based on the hypothesis that there was something on the planet that kept the usually unstable combound from breaking down. She ended the contamination procedures and let in a security team. She ordered the security team to stun Adea after she would lower the force field. Having stunned him, they took him to the sickbay, where Silveira and Doctor Morgan were waiting.

Adea was restrained in sickbay, while Jovenan and Silveira explained to Morgan what had happened. Adea continued to hackle them. Jovenan informed the Captain of their status and location, although Silveira had wished her to do so earlier, giving him a reason to reprimand her. Jovenan contacted the Captain, informing her of the team's situation. The Captain told that the remaining teams on the planet are deploying a potential cure and ordered them to be prepared to beam them back in. Together with Doctor Morgan, Jovenan resumed studying Adea's condition. He was given neurotransmitter inhibitor Lexorin, which pacified him temporarily.

After briefly meeting the new ensigns Savel and Flint Kader, the team in sickbay learnt that the away teams had been in an explosion and had them beamed up. Jovenan had to face the Captain's questioning over the events that had occured to them, including Adea's aggression towards Kleebohn and Silveira and Jovenan's decision to beam them up and stun Adea. Jovenan joined Jones and Lt Hallia Yellir in effort to emit a pulse that could undo the effects of the "Da’allium" dust over the city. Working silently avoiding detection by aggressive Da’al, they were nonetheless noticed and attacked. She and Jones shot at the Da’al in order to stun them, as did Ensign Luxa Lorana, who had unexpectedly joined them when the shooting began. The pulse was released, causing a wave of nausea over the team. The pulse worked, and the team left the planet.

Shoreleave 240004

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. They informed Commander MacKenzie of the results. Dakora asked Jovenan to covertly try and find out, where the people who had moved the meteor had launched their vessel, focusing on potential hiding places on the planet. 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.

She invited the new Ensigns Savel, Kader and Lorana to join her for a camping trip to La'kso canyon on Meranuge IV. The canyon runs through a deposit of kelbonite, which can block transporter signal. Unknown to the other ensigns, she had planned the trip with intention to study a potential hiding place of the people who had moved the meteor to strike the city of Tecra. They got themselves the shuttlepod Perseus, which they found cramped but sufficient for them. They landed near the canyon and starter their hiking trip with telling stories to one another. Their arrival was observed from afar by two Da'al, who suspected the ensigns were there to investigate. The Da'al kept observing them from a hiding place, but were spotted by Lorana. That resulted in an confrontation, where both Jovenan and the Da'al attempted to keep up a façade of innocence. However, it failed and the confrontation became more violent as they drew weapons and the Da'al attempted to kidnap them while threatning to blow up hidden explosives on rocks above them.

During the shoreleave, she also took part in movie night with Hiro Jones, Luxa Lorana, Flint Kader and Vedic Koleth. They watched the Earth movie "Troll 2".

Personal life

Personality

TBD

Style

While on service, Jovenan typically wears the skant variant of the Artemis standard sciences division uniform. She opted to wear the skant variant due to comfort and familiarity to the Edo clothing, despite having suppressed her Edo habits in public. If needed in cooler environments, she also has the basic version of the uniform, in addition to the thermal layers provided my Doctor Adea when she first joined the Excalibur. She typically wears her hair tied to a ponytail or similar style with a blue hair tie.

During off-hours when alone, she prefers to don more typical Edo clothes, such as her light pink romper. She has no problem wearing such revealing clothes when alone or with other Edo, but never wears them with off-worlders due to their reactions. When in civilian clothes with off-worlders, she usually wears typical Earth clothes, such as trousers, t-shirts and skirts.

	1 full brother, 3 maternal half-siblings, 4 paternal half-siblings	Supportive older siblings. Lovable little scoundrels for younger siblings.
	Several other communal parents and siblings	Being raised communally, Jovenan considers many of the older adults in her community her parents and kids her age her siblings.
Friends
	Kawarda Valued colleague, great supporter	Jovenan and Kawarda both serve as science officers on Artemis, and Excalibur before that. Kawarda has come in her rescue in more than one occasion, and she values greatly his work and support. Kawarda: Ensign Jovenan, you did a good job. You should be proud of yourself. ::a pause to consider:: Would ... you like a hug?
	Hiro Jones Platonic friend	Hiro joined the Excalibur soon after Jovenan, and they have served together since. Finding Hiro easy to approach, Jovenan has spent much time with him, including freejumping across empty space and watching stars in the Astrometrics. Jovenan: Want to join me? Jones: Can I? It looks like a blast!
	Luxa Lorana, Savel, Flint Kader, Vedic Koleth The lower decks gang	The four officers joined the Artemis some months after Jovenan and Hiro, and the junior officers bonded quickly. The seniors will tremble anticipating the gangs next antics!
Highly regarded colleagues
	Addison MacKenzie The adventure maker	Jovenan's first XO on the Excalibur and CO on the Artemis. Jovenan didn't meet her until after her rescue mission and learnt quickly to appreciate her dedication. Jovenan: Th- Thank you for your confidence, sir. I’ll try to live up your expectations. MacKenzie: Expectations, perhaps not. More like, possibility. I will say that you’ve demonstrated critical thinking and good judgment in your time here so far. That counts for a lot in my book.
	Genkos Adea Early source of reliance	Not only is Adea Jovenan's CMO on the Excalibur and XO on the Artemis, he was her Academy final training officer. This made him the first approachable officer after assignment. Adea: You want to know everything there is to know about Genkos, eh? ::he chortled:: Well, I’m not going to tell you everything I’ve ever done - we don’t have enough time, and there’s several past girlfriends, and at least one boyfriend who wouldn’t be best pleased.
	Vitor Silveira Man of Metal	During their first shared mission on Artemis, Silveira took punches and even an sword through him. Impressively, he continued to direct Jovenan with clear and sensible orders.
Former colleagues
	Kali Nicholotti You will always remember your first captain	Nicholotti became Jovenan's first CO when she was assigned to the Excalibur. Even though they have only met a few time, Jovenan holds her in great respect. Nicholotti: =/\= Well, you've done great getting us this far, Ensign. Thank you. =/\=
	Seta Jinean Pacifier	Jovenan had worked with Seta in conditions where neither of them were too sure about themselves. Not only that, Seta has amazing counselling skills that can soothe even Jovenan. Seta: I think being scared is very normal, and having doubts is... normal too. The last few weeks were a lot more stressful than life in Starfleet has any right to be. I was scared too, or at the very least unsure what to do, and I've been in Starfleet for a while now.
