{{SectionRounded|Personal History|Red}}
Jalana was born into the family of a Diplomat and a Botanist, who always wanted the best for their child. As many other times, when having good intentions, they do not work out as well as thought. Knowing that his position would bring prestige and a good life, Vivan Laxyn started early to do everything that Jalana would one day follow his footsteps. So the girl did not visit schools, but was taught by her father and their butler Ilur in everything she would have to know for this fate. It had several side effects. Such as Jalana not playing with other children. The only children she knew were her younger brother and the children of other Diplomats at banquets, which all had to behave real well and way too grown up. Jalana though was never really interested in this field of expertise. Already early she wanted to help people in a different way.
 
It took her quite a bit to finally 'come out' to her parents, letting them know that she wanted to become a Doctor. In contrast to her mother, her father did not like this at all and kicked her out of the house. He tried to stop her with his influence by throwing rocks in her way, but Jalana stood up against him and followed her dream. Ilur secretly still met with her to prepare her for her dream, so that she could take the tests that would let her graduate. She did with his help, and passed the entry tests of Medical school, so  she enrolled. She knew during her training that she wanted to do more and applied for Starfleet Academy, to go there after her medical training would conclude.
[[File:JalanaSurgery.png|300px|thumb|left]]
She had to do the tests for Academy two times and just a week before she graduated from Medical School she got the message that she was accepted. As soon as she had her graduation letter in her hand she left Trill joining Starfleet.
 
While Jalana was at Academy she never did regret that step and enjoyed her training, even though it was harder than she expected. During her fifth year she was surprised by a message from the Symbiosis commission of Trill that she was also accepted for taking tests to become an initiate. Finding out that her parents had send her application she first ignored it but then became curious if she could do it. Surprisingly she passed the tests but did not hear anything from the Commission after that. First she told herself, that they had a lot of applicants so it would take a while, but after some time she forgot about it and went on with her StarFleet Medical Training.
 
In the year 2389 she finally finished the Academy, and was stationed on the USS Apollo. As of Stardate 239104.30 she has been declared Doctor med. by the Medical Commission.
 
On Stardate 239108.22 Jalana learned that Viktor Lanius had been arrested by Starfleet.  He was charged with several murders and the attack on another person, in that progress, he had been removed from Starfleet and was sentenced to life in prison. Jalana has not taken the news well and was moved from her Chief Medical Officer position down to ACMO and slipped into a drug addiction to cope (See Medical section).
 
Noticing that she had more trouble getting through the situation, she requested to be lowered to Medical Officer to be able to focus on getting better. On SD 239202.01 the request was granted. On the very same day though, she received a call from the Trill Symbiosis commission and was sent to an emergency joining. Since the symbiont would not have survived a longer trip back to the homeworld, she agreed and met the USS Nemia to receive the symbiont. She is the seventh host of the Rajel Symbiont.
 
On SD 239205.28 she has been promoted to Commander and has received Command over the USS Constitution-B, relayed through Captain Shelther Faranster, which was a big surprise to her. The biggest part of the Apollo crew had been transferred to the Constitution to serve under her in the Talos Sector.
 
After returning from a time travel mission in 1914, Jalana has been promoted to Captain on SD 239212.31 by {{n|Nugra|}}, who came to visit the Constitution. He also honored her by gifting her a Vss'Kot blade, a Gorn dagger, that had an orange gem embedded into the silver, engraved handle, with the words: "You had once asked me about my Vss'Kot blade and I had explained to you that it is a way that a Captian of a vessel shows their achievements in the service of the leader. I present to you, this hand made Vss'Kot blade, to commemorate your rise to this hallowed position."
 
In 2393 Jalana's father Vivan suffered from a severe heart attack. Jalana dropped everything and immediately traveled to Trill to take care of him. In that time they had time to speak and they are back to speaking terms and work on their connection together.
 
In 2394 the Constitution moves from the Talos Sector to the Marchlands, a region in the Far South of the Federation. On SD 239602.21 Jalana was promoted by Admiral Heraan to Fleet Captain on Endaasi. Vivan, Caline and Prax Laxyn were all there to celebrate with her.
 
In 2397, following the [[The_Great_Gas_Dive_(Constitution)| The Great Gas Dive]] Mission Jalana is accused of violating numerous General Orders and Directives and is [[Federation_vs._Jalana_Rajel_-_SD.239704.14_(Constitution)|court-martialed]]. With the help of her Defense Lawyer [[Aria Maddox]] and combined efforts of her crew, proof is brought up that someone tried to frame her and the case is dropped by the Prosecutor [[Skepus]].
 
While enjoying a market visit on Starbase 104 in 2398, Jalana is being attacked and kidnapped by members of the Orion Syndicate. During that time a 'doctor' paid by the Syndicate attempted 'liberate' her Symbiont from her. Thanks to her crew hunting down the flight path of the Syndicate and finding her the man working on her was stopped but not before Jalana was poisoned and her symbiont removed. Thanks to the tireless work of the doctors of the Constituion Jalana and Rajel were saved and reunited. Not without a few aftereffects that Jalana tries to ignore, including becoming more protective of Rajel.

Olen was a successful and rather popular author before being joined, he wrote numerous amounts of non-fiction novels, philosophical works, poetry and more. After being joined none of his books hit off the ground anymore. Because he needed to write to live, he ended up writing fiction novels, that did not have any impact on society like his former books but were popular enough to earn him a living. The pressure of being the first host for the Rajel symbiont was too much for him to be. In combination with the wish to make an impact and not being able to overcome his block, he slipped into depression. He received an award for his work, but upon realisation that he earned it with his fiction, he was not able to bear the shame and pressure anymore and ended his life.

Apria was born into a military family. Her parents were part of the Trill Private Service, and she followed his footsteps. Through the years she worked her path up to being commandant of her own ship, the <i>Farel</i>. When Trill joined the United Federation of Planets in 2285 the Trill Private service was disbanded. Apria opposed the Federation and refused to join their ranks. She retired and died 10 years later, peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her family.

One of her various accomplishments was the transport of Mida Shayzier, leader of Sicarius, after his arrest in 2248 on Trill.

When Trill joined the United Federation of Planets in 2285 the Trill Private service was disbanded. Apria opposed the Federation but joined their ranks. The <i>Farel</i> was refitted with Starfleet tech and she continued command of the ship. She struggled with that decision and finally retired 5 years later, after being forced by injury. Though that injury only made the decision to leave easier. 5 years after that she died, peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her family.

Jalana has not taken the news well and was moved from her Chief Medical Officer position down to ACMO and slipped into a drug addiction to cope (See Medical section).
 
Noticing that she had more trouble getting through the situation, she requested to be lowered to Medical Officer to be able to focus on getting better. On SD 239202.01 the request was granted. On the very same day though, she received a call from the Trill Symbiosis commission and was sent to an emergency joining. Since the symbiont would not have survived a longer trip back to the homeworld, she agreed and met the USS Nemia to receive the symbiont. She is the seventh host of the Rajel Symbiont.
 
On SD 239205.28 she has been promoted to Commander and has received Command over the USS Constitution-B, relayed through Captain Shelther Faranster, which was a big surprise to her. The biggest part of the Apollo crew had been transferred to the Constitution to serve under her in the Talos Sector.
 
After returning from a time travel mission in 1914, Jalana has been promoted to Captain on SD 239212.31 by {{n|Nugra|}}, who came to visit the Constitution. He also honored her by gifting her a Vss'Kot blade, a Gorn dagger, that had an orange gem embedded into the silver, engraved handle, with the words: "You had once asked me about my Vss'Kot blade and I had explained to you that it is a way that a Captian of a vessel shows their achievements in the service of the leader. I present to you, this hand made Vss'Kot blade, to commemorate your rise to this hallowed position."
 
In 2394 the Constitution moves from the Talos Sector to the Marchlands, a region in the Far South of the Federation. On SD 239602.21 Jalana was promoted by Admiral Heraan to Fleet Captain.
 
In 2397, following the [[The_Great_Gas_Dive_(Constitution)| The Great Gas Dive]] Mission Jalana is accused of violating numerous General Orders and Directives and is [[Federation_vs._Jalana_Rajel_-_SD.239704.14_(Constitution)|court-martialed]]. With the help of her Defense Lawyer [[Aria Maddox]] and combined efforts of her crew, proof is brought up that someone tried to frame her and the case is dropped by the Prosecutor [[Skepus]].

Jalana's favourite ''hot drink'' is Betazoid Jestral Tea. She learned to enjoy it during the training with her father, to calm her nerves. Jalana has received a Jestral plant from her friend [[Nugra]] which she is proud to have kept alive so far. When she wants to treat herself to something special, she makes tea fresh from its leaves.

'''Hobbies'''
====Hobbies====
Jalana has learned to play the flute on Trill. The Trillian flute is a long wooden instrument with a small moveable wooden attachment, that allows a broad variety of tunes covering several octaves. It is able to be in harmony with various instruments due to this. Depending on the kind of song it can be simple or rather complicated to play. Of all instruments she had been trying as a child this was the only one she stuck to.

Because Vivan Laxyn wanted his daughter to follow his footsteps to become a Diplomat and one-day Ambassador, he was not very supportive of Jalana's choices. In that dynamic, Jalana had the feeling to prove to her father that she can make it, even without his help. She managed to do that after he had a heart attack and she hurried to his side to help him. Not only was she the one treating him but they had a long talk and are on better terms now. She still puts a lot on his opinion.
 
Apria, one of her former hosts was Commanding Officer of the <i>TPS Farel</i> in the Trill Private Service. Apria was against Trill joining the Federation, as it also swallowed the Private Service to make it part of Starfleet. The experience of course throws shadows onto the way of Jalana's own command in Starfleet. She aims to find her own way, not too much influenced by Apria's CO style. Part of that is that she feels 'Captain Rajel' is Apria and not her, so rising above that rank and being called by her first name are part of her journey.
 
Her rank had not been part of her ambitions or goals but she is proud of how far she has come. Her personal goal is to be close to her crew and giving them a home where they know they are supported and appreciated as part of a family.
 
====Attire====
*''On duty:'' While the Uniform is self-explanatory, she prefers the skirt style and wears it whenever possible. She combines the knee-long skirt with knee-high boots. Now that she is not bound to Sick Bay anymore, she wears hair either in an up-do or loose.
*''Off Duty:'' Jalana prefers skirts and dresses to pants, which make her feel constrained and caged. She does wear them though if the style is loose enough for her. Her favourite colour to wear is dark green and teal, though she likes to experiment with other colors and if they go with her hair. If not for a special occasion she usually wears rather casual or casual chic. Usually, she wears her hair loose off duty.
*''Events and formal events:'' She will dress accordingly to events when attending these, even if the attire would not be her taste of making her feel foolish (for example special robes or barely covering attire for special occasions on different worlds).
 
===Prized Possessions===
==== Tea Box ====
A wooden Tea Box, filled with original Jestral Tea from Betazed, was gifted to Jalana by {{n|S'Lone i-Ra'thleifl|tr'Khellian}} when she became CO of the USS Constitution. The original tea leaves have been used up but she refills it. This tea is the only thing she actually _can_ brew herself.  


==== Jestral Plant ====
Jalana gifted [[Nugra]] a Jestral Tea plant a long time ago and as it grew he regifted her one of the offshoots, that now grows and thrives in Jalana's quarters. She uses some of its leaves to dry them and use for tea. These leaves are what she now keeps in the Tea Box.


'''Goals and Ambitions'''
==== Vss'Kot Dagger ====
During the first time Jalana met Nugra, she saw a Vss'kot Dagger for the first time. Curious about the blade she asked him a million rapid-fire questions about it. That was how their relationship began.
On SD 239212.31 Jalana was promoted to Captain by her friend Nugra. For that ocassion he gifted her her own handmade Gorn Vss'kot Dagger.

She only saw part of it when her eyes widened. No, that couldn't be! She remembered a blade like this, he had worn it during their first meeting and it had been part of the many questions she had asked him. This one had a beautiful orange gem in the silver engraved handle.  
Because Vivan Laxyn wanted his daughter to follow his footsteps to become a Diplomat and one-day Ambassador, he is not very supportive of Jalana's choices.

I present to you, this hand made Vss'Kot blade, to commemorate your rise to this hallowed position. Congratulations, ma'am!


'''Attire'''
She had raised her widened eyes up to him, in disbelief mostly. She got her very own hand made Vss'Kot blade? Carefully she took the bundle from him, her eyes lowering to it again, running the finger over the engraving in the handle. She felt overwhelmed and her vision blurred, this was an incredible honor and she couldn't help herself but stepped forward, throwing her arms around the big Gorn once more, careful not to nick him with the blade. ''

Not even a year later news reached Jalana that her friend Nugra had passed. The memorial service was at SD 239307.12 and his daughter Ndrassa processed her father's will to make a last gift to Jalana. It was a sparkling white gem, an "Oskoran Angel Crystal".


''On duty:'' While the Uniform is self-explanatory, she prefers the skirt style and wears it whenever possible. She combines the knee-long skirt with knee-high boots. Now that she is not bound to Sick Bay anymore, she wears hair either in an up-do or loose.

''Off Duty:'' Jalana prefers skirts and dresses to pants, which make her feel constrained and cage. She does wear them though if the style is loose enough for her. Her favourite colour to wear is a dark green and teal, though she likes to experiment with other colors and if they go with her hair. If not for a special occasion she usually wears rather casual or casual chic. Usually, she wears her hair loose off duty.  
Ndrassa: I believe this means you already have a Vss'Kot given to you by him. This gem is a Oskoran Angel crystal. In the Registry of Awards, it signifies someone who has faced terror and prevailed. He wanted you to have it for the perils you have faced as a sign of his respect for what you accomplished.


''Events and formal events:'' She will dress accordingly to events when attending these, even if the attire would not be her taste of make her feel foolish (for example special robes or barely covering attire for special occasions on different worlds).  
Jalana hadn’t expected that. She looked down to the gem Ndrassa held in her claws and after a moment of hesitation, she took it gingerly with the tips of her fingers, looking at it. A gentle smile washed over her lips, and the tingle in her nose returned. The meaning of the gem didn’t get lost on her. It was impossible to put into words how much this gift meant to her.''
|}
Jalana utilized the help of a Gorn Blacksmith to have the gem inserted in the hilt of her dagger. Even though through some miracle neither she nor Nugra can explain he returned to the realm of the living she holds this 'last gift' in highest regard.  


==== African Violet ====
This plant was a gift from [[Alora DeVeau]] during a visit of Starbase 118 to celebrate [[Sal Taybrim]]'s promotion to Commodore. The women spent some time together to get to know each other and Alora gifted Jalana the flower upon their first meeting.

|}
==== Tea Set ====
During the Giftmas Celebrations in 2397 Jalana received a Porcellain Tea Set as gift from [[Lystra]]. This gift has a special place in her office, being suspended in a 'tractor beam' coming from a model Starbase 118 integrated into the room's design.
{| cellspacing="3"  {{{2|}}}

|bgcolor="#F5FAFF" style="border:1px solid #CEDFF2; margin:1em 0; padding:0.5em 1em; color: black;"|''A wide grin on her face as the longer than it was wide box was eventually opened and the familiar sight of the USS Constitution-B sat within.  Made of treated and tempered porcelain, it was a scaled down replica of the ship that everyone knew the Trill loved so dearly. Shiny, because Jalana loved giving shinies and should definitely receive one herself. Though the lines were smooth, there were clear segments and Lystra grabbed the left nacelle and pulled it off. Twisted it by the front, which unscrewed slowly and she held it upside down. It was decidedly cup or mug shaped. 
Lystra: So, I know how much you like your tea. And the ship. So, I commissioned this over a year ago. It’s an entire tea set. ::She smiled bashfully for the first time the gifts she got were being opened:: The nacelles are cups. The body is where you keep the tea. It heats itself by tapping on the bridge. ::She gestured to the shuttlebay, pulling it out:: If you need a creamer or something, just pull out a runabout. ::Which she did, the liquid put it would clearly pour out of the nose:: And you can pour it out by removing the saucer section. ::Which came off exactly as the real thing, which she flipped upside down, then pressed the captain’s yacht which opened the saucer:: And you can put pastries in here. Which has a warmer too.''

|Using the slipstream drive, the Apollo heads toward the edge of the Beta Quadrant, close to the Delta Quadrant. All things appear normal, but when the Apollo drops out of the slipstream all bridge stations are locked out and just display an Omega symbol. Close-by, there is a war raging between Boreia III and Boreia IV who have been at war for years. The conflict started over trade agreements, but soon turned to war. In the race to develop destructive weapons, one scientist has come close to harnessing an Omega weapon. The Apollo is one of the special ships that can be tasked to neutralize Omega particles and the crew must race against time, and place themselves in the middle of a war, to carry out their mission. It almost looked like things were going well, when the Borg appear, having discovered the particle as well. To avoid the worst part of the crew neutralizes the particle while the ship engages in battle with the borg cubes with the help of their Marine fighters. Just when the Particle is neutralized, the Apollo loses the bottle and is evacuated for auto destruct. While one cube was destroyed during the battle, the other is destroyed in the explosion of the ship. Luckily the crew was able to get away before that happened.

{{Citation|Silver Palm|2389|USS Apollo|Next I would like to recognize Lieutenant Jalana Laxyn. She is awarded the Silver Palm. This woman not only serves as our Chief Medical Officer, but she is our Chief Morale Officer as well. She is often interjecting humor and unique insights into the mix. It is an enjoyment to be part of her escapades. Congratulations.}}
{{Citation|Prantares Ribbon|2389|USS Apollo|Named CMO of the year - Awarded to those medical officers who has moved beyond competence to display a true gift for the healing arts in the context of space medicine. The officers given this award should display the ability to keep a steady hand in the often hazardous conditions in which they must practice, as well as the willingness to risk their own life to save the lives of others.}}
{{Citation|Neelix Award|2391|USS Apollo-A|The Neelix Award is awarded for extra, out of character, simming devotion. In this case it has been rewarded for the work and devotion in the work as Facilitator of the Image Department. She had done a superb job on the Image Collective and in the Forums providing photoshop pictures and banner for several players. She is truly devoted, quick and her job meet no equal.}}
{{Citation|Strange Medallion|2391|USS Apollo-A|Many people around the fleet are familiar with the name Jalana Laxyn. As facilitator of the Image Team she can be found diligently working on graphics and coordinating team efforts. She is a wonderful training officer that has guided many cadets through the academy. As if that was not enough, she has really done an excellent job as First Officer of the Apollo with her new character Akeelah D'Sena. As XO, she has stepped up to every challenge presented, even running things during a leave of absence of the commanding officer. She has been, and continues to be, a stellar friend, colleague, and First Officer to many of us! }}
{{Citation|Kalendra Award|2392|USS Constitution-B|If you want devious, clever, and insidious when it comes to plot twists, than look no further than our own Jessica. This year she has spun a crafty tale of suspense around her ship and her crew utilizing surprise twists like interfering with an important assassination, to allowing a guest simmer to appear unannounced to question their crew creating an unforgettable nemesis. Jessica has shown great detail and dedication in creating an unforgettable story and plot where no one is able to predict its end. For that, I am proud to present the Kalendra Award to her! }}
{{Citation|James T. Kirk Cross|2392|USS Constitution-B|Jess (Jalana) is an excellent example of what we should look for in new COs. She is even-tempered, creative, and nurturing, and her crew has rightly sung her praises. She is easy and pleasant to work with and her dedication to the group, including the projects with which she's most closely associated (the Image Collective, the Graphics Contest) shine because of her involvement there. Despite her newness to captaincy for SB118, she is already integral to our history and is inseparable from whatever current success the group currently enjoys. It is even more gratifying to have support from across the fleet, and Jess was nominated for this award from three simmers on three different ships across the fleet. She is clearly well respected, and so I would like to share some particularly representative comments from those nominations: “She has done a fantastic job of being communicative to the crew, involving everyone and making the staff feel reachable and personable. When problems arise they are quickly addressed and Jalana takes time and effort to make sure that the entire crew is being included in the plot. … I firmly believe she is the best new Captain SB118 had this year, and look forward to seeing how the Conny develops into 2016!” ...and... “I know from experience that this is very, very difficult and many ships disintegrate if the CO disappears. The roles of FO and CO are quite different and Jess had to make this transition at short notice but the day to day running of the ship was not disrupted at all. I think she displayed extraordinary professionalism in handling the situation. What’s more, she went on to oversee the switch of the crew from the Apollo to the Constitution with equal ease, again a situation that can see crew slip away. I have no doubt that Commander Jalana Rajel is an exceptional commanding officer and is fully deserving of this award.” The SB 118 fleet, the Executive Council, and the panel of first officers who chose this award have spoken, and I am delighted to recognize Jess as SB 118’s finest new commanding officer of the year! }}
{{Citation|B-Plot Award|2393|USS Constitution-B|As you all are aware, there are many storylines that occur during a mission but are not at all involved with the mission itself. The B-Plot Award is for those simmers who manage to show a good portion of the character's life despite the demands of the main plot. Jess has created a plethora of characters on-board the Conny and uses them to make sure everyone stays busy and can grow their characters. From D'Sena and the budding relationship with a rather stiff engineer, to Jalana's travels during my practical, Jess has a talent for developing not just her own characters but others' as well. It is with great honor that I present the B-Plot award to Jess. Congratulations!!}}
{{Citation|Russ Bar|2393|USS Constitution-B|The Russ bar is awarded to a writer whose knowledge of Trek lore is extraordinary. Named for Tim Russ, the actor who played Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager, who was already a dedicated Star Trek fan before securing the role on the show. Although not a requirement of this game, being knowledgeable about Star Trek technology and medical terminology and the like is extremely helpful to paint a realistic picture of the scenario. Jess -the writer behind our very own Capt. Jalana Rajel- has a knowledge and passion for Star Trek. She then uses this knowledge to create missions and plot lines for our crew that feel more realistic for the setting. For this reason, she is being awarded the Russ Bar. Congratulations, Jess!}}
{{Citation|Nebula Bar|2394|USS Constitution-B|The Constitution has recently moved to a whole new theater of operations, which entails not only the Marchlands and its backstory and makeup, but our new base of operations in Starbase 104. This is no small undertaking, as not only did we need the names and details of the species and star systems we’d be dealing with, but we needed the layout of the station, a myriad of NPCs, and an established mood and feel of everyone and everything within the area. This has been a group effort, there is no doubt about that, but there is one person who was the vanguard, who made sure everything came together in a cohesive and convincing style. Without her efforts, we would not have had as much fun building upon Starbase 104 and our two new antagonist species, the Hinji and the Linarans. That person is none other than Jess, our intrepid Captain Jalana Rajel, and I am pleased and honored to present this award to her.}}
{{Citation|Sarpeidon Award|2394|USS Constitution-B|When we think of contributions to the 118Wiki, we often think of expansive pages and creative templates and coding. However, these pages would be nothing but walls of text if not for the beautiful and expressive images that adorn them. Thanks to the contributions of The Image Collective, especially those of its taskforce leader Jalana Rajel, our wiki is one of the most inviting and engaging roleplay resources in the Star Trek genre! For years now, Jalana Rajel has answered any and all requests for professionally created character images, Badge and Award graphics, and numerous other Photoshop magic acts in order to ensure that SB118 puts its best face forward with the 118Wiki. For that reason, it is our pleasure to award Jalana Rajel with the Sarpeidon Award! Congratulations!}}
{{Citation|Xalor Clan Xifilis Award|2394|USS Constitution-B|When one looks at Jalana Rajel's contributions to SB118, whether it be with her role as leader of The Image Collective, as CO of the Constitution, or her work with the Captains Council and active presence on the forums and chatrooms, one cannot help but notice her sunny disposition and can-do attitude. Leading by example, she exudes a confidence and proficiency that motivates those that interact with her. The fact that Jalana Rajel is so active despite contending with health and depression challenges is a testament to her professionalism and dedication and is a shining example to her crew and to the fleet at large. Where many would use such challenges in real life to shy away from responsibility, Rajel meets them head on and refuses to let her issues affect the level of engagement she shares with all of us. An inspiration to any who face similar issues, Jalana Rajel is a worthy recipient of the Xalor Clan Xifilis Award.}}
{{Citation|Pathfinder Award|2395|USS Constitution-B|From the first moment entering the game, we meet a lot of people who have influence on us. Be it the ship's leadership, our mentors or other players. We learn with each interaction and are guided through their example. The Pathfinder award is given to those players dedicating their time to guiding and mentoring fellow members. This year’s winner of this award personifies that description perfectly. They are emotionally invested in the happiness and success of those under their care, and are always more interested in the writer behind the character than they are in the writer’s abilities and contributions. By taking feedback very seriously and doing a good job reaching out to crew members who need to work on their simming skills, this winner also supports roleplayers who need to learn better collaboration skills. Congratulations to Jess aka Jalana Rajel for this very deserving win!}}
{{Citation|Sarek Star|2395|USS Constitution-B|It is sometimes very difficult to realize what a tremendous impact that quiet level-headedness and honest diplomacy have, but in the case of Jalana Rajel, her strength and leadership lets it shine through. Jalana has been a dependable commanding officer for three years, and she’s always been able to mediate disputes with a firm and gentle tone. She’s also been able to provide a welcoming atmosphere for new crew members while making experienced players feel at home. Her crew deeply appreciates her open minded attitude and willingness to listen to concerns and work to solve them. Because of this dedication to providing a great game for all players, her ship has seen great retention in promising players, and she has been a respected mentor for her staff. I am especially impressed by her ability to turn mistakes into teaching opportunities for everyone on her ship – from the highest rank to the newest member. This creates a positive, supportive atmosphere where players are encouraged to write better, and be inspired to tell better stories. I am especially happy to be able to award Jalana with this honor this year because she has done such good work with her senior staff on the Constitution to improve communication and make a great ship to play on. This is seen in the pride she has for her crew and the support she’s given her staff as they work towards command. It takes a good CO to lead a strong ship, but it takes an extraordinary CO to teach others how to move towards command one day. For all of this hard work, the Sarek Star is very well deserved. Congratulations, Jalana! }}
{{Citation|TOSMA|2396|USS Constitution-B|This year’s TOSMA award goes to a more than deserving writer. Not only is her writing excellent, always moving the plot forward, but over the past year we’ve seen her main character grow while struggling with the balance of being a Starfleet officer and a mother all while dealing with the return of her partner. On top of all of that, this writer has several PNPCs that she uses to help engage others within the ship and provide more writing opportunities for everyone. It is my distinct honor and privilege to present The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement First Class award to none other than our leader, and newly promoted, Fleet Captain Jalana Rajel. Congratulations Jess! I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor than you!}}
{{Citation|Christopher Pike Pendant|2396|USS-Constitution-B|Of all the awards presented, the Christopher Pike Pendant is one of the most coveted as it symbolizes the things that every commanding officer in aspires to do - command their ship with honor and dedication and help to provide a creative atmosphere which fosters outstanding simming. And Fleet Captain Rajel certainly has accomplished that goal as anyone can tell, from the sims her crew submits. They are comfortable in the environment she has created. It is evident that this talented lady takes pride in her work and strives for perfection in everything she does to enhance the entire community through the collective and her writing. So it is my honor to present her with the Christopher Pike Pendant and give her my sincere congratulations for her accomplishments.}}
{{Citation|Laudean Commendation|2397|USS-Constitution-B|To quote the nomination for our winner, she "brought to life two cultures in Queen, exploring both Linaran and Zeltin culture. We’ve seen the life of a diver, the ways Queen transitioned between the two and the Linaran traditions of joining. This exploration made the mission come more to life and helped to provide an insight into another world for other writers to be guided through." For her portrayal of Queen, I’m pleased to announce Jess as the winner of the Laudean Commendation, congratulations!}}

Since some of you were not present during that mission here is a very quick rundown. Daaka is home to a colony of Aquatic Xindi and we were invited to the wedding of the Colony's leader and the son of another colony from Horibu. After a little while we realized that something was wrong, as everyone down on the planet for a longer time began to act in strange ways. Eventually it was revealed that a hormone in the water affected us and a counter was created. Everyone involved in this mission was vital to make sure that no major incident disturbed the peace, and we did so by working together with the Xindi Leadership of Daaka. So I am happy to reward those involved with the Peacekeeper Service Ribbon and Joint Meritorious Unit Award."}}

{{Citation|TOSMA|2396|USS Constitution-B|This year’s TOSMA award goes to a more than deserving writer. Not only is her writing excellent, always moving the plot forward, but over the past year we’ve seen her main character grow while struggling with the balance of being a Starfleet officer and a mother all while dealing with the return of her partner. On top of all of that, this writer has several PNPCs that she uses to help engage others within the ship and provide more writing opportunities for everyone. It is my distinct honor and privilege to present The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement First Class award to none other than our leader, and newly promoted, Fleet Captain Jalana Rajel. Congratulations Jess! I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor than you!}}
{{Citation|Christopher Pike Pendant|2396|USS-Constitution-B|Of all the awards presented, the Christopher Pike Pendant is one of the most coveted as it symbolizes the things that every commanding officer in aspires to do - command their ship with honor and dedication and help to provide a creative atmosphere which fosters outstanding simming. And Fleet Captain Rajel certainly has accomplished that goal as anyone can tell, from the sims her crew submits. They are comfortable in the environment she has created. It is evident that this talented lady takes pride in her work and strives for perfection in everything she does to enhance the entire community through the collective and her writing. So it is my honor to present her with the Christopher Pike Pendant and give her my sincere congratulations for her accomplishments.}}
{{Citation|Laudean Commendation|2397|USS-Constitution-B|To quote the nomination for our winner, she "brought to life two cultures in Queen, exploring both Linaran and Zeltin culture. We’ve seen the life of a diver, the ways Queen transitioned between the two and the Linaran traditions of joining. This exploration made the mission come more to life and helped to provide an insight into another world for other writers to be guided through." For her portrayal of Queen, I’m pleased to announce Jess as the winner of the Laudean Commendation, congratulations!}}
{{Citation|5-year Commanding Officer|2397|USS-Constitution-B|For those who have served as commanding officers for their ships and stations continuously for five years. Officers in this category are also appointed to the rank of Commodore to recognize their experience and leadership.}}
{{Citation|Sheathed Sword|2398|USS-Constitution-B|Injury and trauma should never be added lightly to a story, but when written well they can provide compelling character development and insight, whether bringing out unexpected reactions, unrealised potential, or travelling the compelling journey of recovery. These injuries can be physical, mental or emotional. And sometimes they’re something harder to quantify. We all know how attached Commodore Rajel is to her ship, her beloved, Galaxy-Class Constitution-B which has truly become not just a house but a home to our crew. This last mission saw the ship damaged by Orion Pirates, to the point where, if she were a car, the insurer would probably write her off. But we all know that Mamma Jalana would never let that happen, if she has to yell at a few Admirals herself. Our ship is a part of her, and I can’t imagine how hard it was for Jalana to endorse the use of the severed nacelle as a bomb. Congratulations to Jess, and commiserations to Jalana, on being awarded the Sheathed Sword. Now who’s up for camping out at the shipyards with me whilst the Conny gets repaired?}}
{{Citation|Vega Award|2398|USS-Constitution-B|It’s a newly created award this year, and the Vega Award recognises those who’s extra efforts bring life to our world through artistic endeavours. Our medium is writing, but Star Trek at its core is a television show. Sometimes it seems that visuals are lacking, but one person here works tirelessly to bring our dreams - and occasional nightmares - to real, graphical life. Not only does she do so herself, but as co-facilitator of the Image Collective, she coordinates others who do the same. The recipient of the inaugural Constitution Vega Award is none other than Jess, our own Jalana Rajel.}}
{{Citation|Combs Cross|2399|USS-Constitution-B|The Combs Cross is a brand new award created to reward players that bring their ship to life with well-rounded PNPCs. These players enrich the story, add to the development of their own and other characters' plots without taking away from the main characters and add more colour to our stories. The recipient of this award is the most obvious choice in the quadrant. Not only do they write for an incredibly diverse and colourful cast of PNPCs, but those characters are far beyond background actors or window dressing. These PNPCs have their own lives, opinions, and complex relationships that bring our ship to life time and again. Join me in congratulating our very own Commodore Jalana Rajel for this well-earned award!}}
{{Citation|Staff Member of the Year Award|2399|USS-Constitution-B| Presented by Sal Taybrim: In her ten-year tenure on StarBase 118, Jalana Rajel - who started as Jalana Laxyn, and was joined as Trill often do, was recognized as an experienced simmer and steadfast staff member even early on.  She had experience moderating a German-language Star Trek sim before she dove into StarBase 118.  Oh yes, did you know that Jess, the writer behind Jalana Rajel is not only an incredible writer (and published author!), but that English is her second language?  She’s so profound at writing in English that she has excelled in simming with many of her fellow players only learning that she lives in Germany as they made friends with her!  She has maneuvered through many difficult situations in her path towards command, including stepping up as the acting commanding officer of the USS Apollo-A when her CO went AWOL after her Commander’s exam.  Shortly afterwards she moved to her one true love in a ship, the USS Constitution-B. From there she has commanded the Constitution-B for over seven years, creating a most remarkable place to play.  There is a stability and familiarity to the Constitution’s game (lovingly called the ‘Conny’ by its players), enhanced by Jalana’s love of her favorite series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, which perfectly matches the ship.  You would expect a Galaxy class ship like the Conny to feel like the Next Generation, and for over seven years that is exactly what it has felt like.  Congratulations, Jalana, you’re on your eighth season now and going strong!  There is a warm nostalgia and welcoming feeling to Jalana’s game, matched by her calm and wise leadership and her compassionate portrayal of her character.  Her crew lovingly calls her ‘Mama Bear’ and sometimes “Commodore Hugs-a-Lot” and she embodies both of these aspects in and out of character. As a Commanding officer and member of the staff on StarBase 118, Jalana has always been patient and considerate.  She is a joy to work with out of character and always presents a calm, considered viewpoint.  She’s unfailingly honest, hardworking and balanced.  She can mediate heated discussions with a calm and level head and approaches players new and old with an open friendliness that is unmatched.  She is also a wonderful mentor, helping her staff members grow and develop into taskforce leaders, and her newer players grow into staff members. Furthermore, she’s one of the longest taskforce leaders in the Fleet - directing the Image Collective for almost her entire ten years on StarBase 118.  She’s a strong graphics artist who has helped with character portraiture for years, and she was a driving force behind many of our badges, award images and fleet graphics.  She’s incredibly dependable in her role on the Image Team, and looking back at the amount of graphics she has created, especially the badges and other templates that we use so often and don’t think about much, is overwhelming.  Jalana is always quick to get requests done and always puts care and effort into every creation. Consistency, warmth, openness, friendliness, dependability.  All of these perfectly describe Jess as a Commanding Officer and as a staff member of StarBase 118.  While she may not be a brash voice, or a big personality, her steady contributions over time have grown into an incredible body of work.  She has improved the simming experience for countless players and is a wonderful person to work with as a staff member and an incredible friend.  I am so utterly ecstatic to be able to present Jalana Rajel with 2399’s Staff Member of the Year Award!  }}
{{Citation|Q Award|2400|USS-Constitution-B| Presented by Azura Ada: To present this next award, I will simply read the text of the nomination exactly because… well, let me just read it. ::Ahem:: “Jalana slept with Prendar. If that wasn’t a Q-worthy plot twist, I don’t know what is!” Incredible stuff, truly. Congratulations, Jess, on receiving this year’s Q Award.}}
