Recently Lystra intentionally asked her hand to be severed during the rescue of [[Jalana Rajel]] from the hands of her old slaver. It has since been replaced by a cybernetic hand created by [[Rachel Flores]].
 
{{Heading|Cybernetic Hand Specs|Gold}}
 
'''Pros'''
*Solar panel on back of hand for recharging
*Vulcan equivalent grip strength (While that allows the hand to grip with Vulcan strength, it does not mean she can lift that much, because the rest of her arm is not artificial or trained for it, so the lifting weight is restricted not only by her own strength and by the connection of the hand's socket to her arm but also the strength of the connection between hand and socket)
*Wrist has 360 range of motion that can be disabled via one of the 3 buttons on the back of the hand.
*Double-jointed fingers.
*Sensors in the surfaces to get basic sensations: Temperature; pressure; resistance
*Has a compartment in the palm with tools for basic maintenance/extra servos
*Disassembled comm badge capable of transmitting a distress signal with Lystra’s serial number. Range is limited to at most the orbit of a planet. Toggled with one of the 3 buttons on the hand. (Distress signal is subject to any interference that would prohibit communication signals)
*Waterproofed and can operate in pressures such as those of deep water
*Most of the hand is removable in case of a need of replacement/upgrading but the wrist cannot be removed without surgery.
*The sensors can be disabled to disable any pain from environmental sources. A button on the hand toggles this.
*Has a charger that can fit any Federation power source. (The power source is from a tricorder or similar to the same ones used in them)
 
 
'''Cons'''
*Because it’s not a flesh and blood hand the limb is more durable than one, but also susceptible to excessive electrical discharges. Which could potentially cause it to malfunction.
*Because it requires charging, if no power source or sunlight is available the hand becomes useless/dead weight when not powered.
*Requires regular maintenance to ensure that the hand functions properly.
*Certain materials or radiations may cause issues when in proximity to the hand or being used with it. (Said material/radiation/element that causes this will be placed here)

Lystra was born in 236608.22 To Kystrala and Galeny a pair of typical BOslic parents, each having been born and lived their entire lives on starships. Like many of their species, they embraced the nomadic lifestyle. The two were wed during a typical Boslic Marriage Trade, where two ships or more arrange to meet at neutral locations in order to arrange some marriages among the single crew members. This involves 2 or more ships arranging to meet at a neutral location in order to arrange some marriages. Each ship will then list all their single crew who are available. Over the next couple days these individuals are inspected, questioned and allowed free access to the other ships and their crews. At the end of the 3 days the heads of each family will discuss any unions they wish to arrange. Normally this results in an equal number of individuals being swapped between ships.

Ten years after their marriage, Lystra was born. She lived a good life, growing up on a Tellarite freighter that her parents had lived on. The Xal'tress. As was typical of their kind, the ship had been purchased a long time ago and the crew had changed over decades as new marriages were made. Constantly upgraded and improved they plied their trade along many of the largest trade routes in the Alpha and Beta quadrants. Trading just about anything and everything. When she was seven, the crew, her family along with two other families. For a total of fifteen crew, sold the freighter they'd been living on and purchased a brand new Vulcan freighter, that retained the name Xal'tress.

In 2377 the Xal'tress was on a run through Orion space when she was waylaid by Syndicate pirates. The aging Vulcan freighter was badly crippled and boarded. Cargo taken, the male crew were killed and the female crew, six in total including Lystra was taken by the slave traders to be sold through the Syndicate's slave markets.

Lystra spent the next two years serving an Orion crime boss along with her mother. Kystrala, her mother was quite popular and did everything she could to keep her daughter out of anyone's attention. As the Federation and others were working to bring down the Syndicate the two were fatefully contacted by Sparrow, still in Starfleet Intelligence. Making an arrangement, the two Boslic worked with their old contact to slip Sparrow intel on the Syndicate as two of a great many informants that eventually led to the collapse of the Syndicate. Upon its fall, the two were finally freed and with the help of Sparrow, reunited with the rest of the Xal'tress crew.

2384 The Xal'tress was once again prosperous, though now as a Bajoran freighter with an antiquated cloaking device as an emergency defensive measure. Having helped Starfleet Intelligence a few more times over the years Lystra had gotten a taste for it. A few months into the new year, when her mother was planning to bring the ship to a Marriage Trade and knowing she was likely going to be traded off to another ship she quickly enlisted in Starfleet and was accepted.
