Fielding

Like all Laudeans, Elya has the ability to perceive energy fields that pass through her body, known as Fielding. As indicated by the the light yellow coloring of her ears and forehead, Elya is not an expert at distinguishing fields from one another, and generally only perceives very powerful and nearby fields. Strong fields can have a large emotional effect on Elya.

Background

Elya was just finishing her studies as the Federation made first contact with the Laudeans, and fought briefly in the ensuing revolution against the royal family. Disillusioned with the continuous warfare and corrupt politics of her home world, Elya saw an opportunity to escape and see the new frontiers of space that had just opened up to her people. Once the revolution subsided and the Federation returned to her planet, Elya met with Starfleet ambassadors and convinced them to accept her to the Academy. Shortly after she arrived at the academy, the bombing of the Federation Embassy occurred on the Laudean home world. Several officers insisted she be sent back and that the Laudeans were not yet in a position to be Starfleet officers, but Elya realized that Starfleet interest in the Laudean fielding ability could be used to her advantage and arranged to guarantee her training. As news of the bombing started to fade, Elya had an easier time in the Academy and diligently studied toward her goal of exploring the stars.

USS Victory

(see also Victory Remote Control)

Elya arrived aboard the USS Victory shortly before the Insectoid attack on Starbase 118. During the attack, the Victory embarked to the Insectoid's nebula to investigate rumors that Romulans were supplying the creatures with cloaking devices. The Chief Engineer at the time, Cyrus Webb, was promoted under strange circumstances as an Intelligence Officer, leaving Elya as an especially young and inexperienced Chief Engineer. A Saboteur aboard the ship attempted to disable the inertial dampeners, but was thwarted when sudden glitches in the EMH gave away that something was amiss. The crew of the USS Victory captured a suspicious Romulan freighter with cargo intended for the nebula species, but was forced to destroy a Romulan warbird in the process.

Following the Victory's arrival back at Starbase 118, Elya was introduced to her new assistant engineer, Lt. Kevin Breeman. While repairs on the Victory were underway, they were ordered to accompany an experimental prison-transport runabout, the USS Aztec, to its destination. Although the ship was supposedly fully functional, previous pilots reported being unable to exceed warp 2. While trying to push the ship to faster speeds, a mass-compensator malfunction left the Aztec stranded in subspace with minimal life support. After an emergency landing on a nearby subspace planet, the Aztec's crew was discovered by a species of giant sentient metallic creatures (robots?), who were shocked to discover sentient biological lifeforms. Referring to the Aztec as a "baby", the metallic creatures assisted with repairs and sent the Aztec back out of subspace with some additional unknown modifications...
