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.

When Trill joined the United Federation of Planets in 2285 the Trill Private service was disbanded. Apria opposed the Federation but joined their ranks. 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.

Waeyna was an engaged Zoologist. She traveled all over Trill to find animals that were not yet discovered, to research and get to know them and their 'essence'. She died doing exactly that, bitten by an unknown insect which lead to an Anaphylaxis.

Arlen was a police officer on Trill in the VPD (Vran's Police Department). He climbed up the ranks up to the Earth equivalent of a Chief. He refused to climb further, as he loved being in the field and did not want to end up behind a desk. He was murdered on duty.

That is also what the false gods notice and they deliberately poison the mayor hoping she will pass the poison on to the Starfleet team. She succeeds to a part. Among the affected was Jalana, who had a strange out-of-body experience while the poison took over her body. Thanks to her friend and former Assistant Sundassa and Captain Jaxx an antidote was found and the crew (all but one) returned to the Apollo.

|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.

May it be the last one in a long row of them."}}

{{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!  }}

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.}}
