'''Mei'konda''' is a [[Caitian]] Starfleet Officer | '''Mei'konda''' is a [[Caitian]] Starfleet Officer assigned as the Commanding Officer aboard the {{USS|Montreal}}, a medium cruiser which is currently assigned to the [[Shoals]] region. Holding an advanced degree in Astrophysics in addition to his starship operations experience, Mei'konda has a wide range of experience in Starfleet engineering, operations, and command. | ||
Mei'konda is a relatively private man, not as open and friendly as his race is generally known for. He has few friends, but stays as close as he can to those he's made. He attempts to be a consummate professional and is completely dedicated to Federation and Starfleet ideals. Occasionally prone to overworking himself when under stress, he tends to believe that every Starfleet regulation exists for a reason, but that they must be open to interpretation and development in deep space. | Mei'konda is a relatively private man, not as open and friendly as his race is generally known for.

Mei'konda's first assignment was on the {{USS|Mercury}}, an Oracle class starship, as a junior helmsman. Through a combination of hard work, intense missions, and luck, Mei'konda was promoted to junior, then full Lieutenant in a relatively short period of time, eventually taking over as Chief of Operations aboard the Mercury. A childhood dream was realized when, after the Mercury sustained serious damage in an engagement with a Cardassian ship, her senior staff was transferred to a Galaxy class starship, the {{USS|Garuda}}. As far as Mei'konda knew at this time, his father hadn't made it through the Battle of Wolf 359, and Mei'konda was now serving as a senior officer on the same type of ship that saved the Federation. He was exactly where he wanted to be. | Mei'konda's first assignment was on the {{USS|Mercury}}, an Oracle class starship, as a junior helmsman.

Life on the Garuda agreed with Mei'konda. Directing a large operations staff in the day-to-day running of a massive, complex starship was a challenging routine that he eventually settled into. And it was certainly never boring, with intense and occasionally damaging encounters with the [[Kubarey]], the {{n|Myr Luuk|}} and the [[Community]], and the {{n|Maquis Reborn|}}, among others. With Evan Delano's assignment aboard the Garuda, Mei'konda felt fulfilled in his personal and professional life like he hadn't before. | Life on the Garuda agreed with Mei'konda.

Over a year into the Garuda's mission, the {{n|Invicta Expedition|}} was launched, and Mei'konda and the other members of Garuda's senior staff were transferred abruptly to the new diplomatic explorer. A high profile mission, even the President of the Federation was present for its launch. Mei'konda served on the Invicta for a time, and found it to be a very different sort of mission than he was accustomed to. Diplomats were allowed free reign on the Bridge and through most of the ship, often making it more difficult for the private young officer to concentrate. But a pivotal event occurred on this assignment, when an encounter with the Q continuum resulted in his father's ship, the Yamaguchi, being transported into the present from the moment before it was destroyed at Wolf 359. | Over a year into the Garuda's mission, the {{n|Invicta Expedition|}} was launched, and Mei'konda and the other members of Garuda's senior staff were transferred abruptly to the new diplomatic explorer.

During his year on Starbase 74, as an expert in Galaxy class systems, Mei'konda was assigned as the supervisor of an extensive refit on a Galaxy class starship, the {{USS|Astraeus}}. The project, fraught with problems, was nearly complete when Mei'konda received word of an opening on board the {{USS|Veritas}}. His break from exploration duty had been fruitful, and he'd had a good opportunity to spend time with his parents. As the Veritas had been operating in the sector of space where he'd heard that Evan had been, he decided that it was time to head back out into deep space. | During his year on Starbase 74, as an expert in Galaxy class systems, Mei'konda was assigned as the supervisor of an extensive refit on a Galaxy class starship, the {{USS|Astraeus}}.

Over the next year, Mei'konda served as Captain Rahman's operations officer, and eventually, her first officer, when Lieutenant Commander {{n|Sky|Blake}} transferred to the Starfleet Rangers. In this role, Mei'konda felt a sense of home that he hadn't in a long time, and flourished in the role. | = The Veritas = | ||
Over the next year, Mei'konda served as Captain Rahman's operations officer, and eventually, her first officer, when Lieutenant Commander {{n|Sky|Blake}} transferred to the Starfleet Rangers. In this role, Mei'konda felt a sense of home that he hadn't in a long time, and flourished in the role. Mei'konda was in command of the Veritas regularly while Captain Rahman was off the ship, during an extended time as acting Captain, led the Veritas in an action that saw the Astraeus, whose commanding officer had brought her into the Shoals and gotten her stuck there, protected from a vicious pirate attack. It was after this mission that Mei'konda married his fiance, and was promoted to full Commander. | |||
Over the next several months, Mei'konda and the Veritas took part in a number of missions, involving colony resupply, defense, science, and first contact. Late in 2395, Mei'konda was offered the [[USS Montreal]]. He accepted, despite that it would mean a separation from his husband. | |||
