'''Commodore Oddas Aria''' is currently serving as the '''Commanding Officer''' of '''[[Denali Station]]'''.

; [[Irina_Pavlova|Irina Pavlova]], <small>Spouse, Deceased</small>: [[Irina_Pavlova|Irina]] and Aria began dating at their [[Turner-Waltas_Wedding_(Embassy_of_Duronis_II)|Commanding Officer's wedding]].  Growing from there, they married on 239406.29<ref name="twoparties">http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?simnum=2452654</ref> and when Aria was offered the command of the {{USS|Eagle}}, Irina followed.  Irina was injured during an Awards Ceremony aboard the [[Lightside_Station|Spike]] when a series of explosions rocked the station and large sections of the station crushed her back.  While initially, she received a promising prognosis, she collapsed shortly thereafter due to complications and died on the bridge in Aria's arms.

; [[Snow,_Jazmine|Jazmine Snow]], <small>Step Daughter</small>:Adopted daughter of [[Irina_Pavlova|Irina]].  After Irina's passing lived with [[Nian Kaur]], a transport pilot, until forming her own transport company.

; [[Pavlova,_Katya|Katya Pavlova]], <small>Step Daughter</small>: Daughter of [[Irina_Pavlova|Irina]], has been living with [[#Cada|Cada]] and [[#Teevin|Teevin]], experiencing as 'normal' a household as Aria and the Ijos can manage.

; Colonel Oddas Gura, <small>Father</small>: Aria's father and often described as more at home with the higher ranks of military and intelligence officers.  Behind his back, he is sometimes called the politician's soldier, something he regrets and sometimes tries to make up for by being 'more soldier than soldier'.  After Aria's assistance to her [[#sister|sister]] she recieved a short communication from her father, simply saying 'thank you'.

; Captain Oddas Ushow, <small><span id="sister">Sister</span></small>: Aria's older sister by a year and as of 239406.27<ref>http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?simnum=2452562</ref> a Captain in the Bajoran Militia.  Ushow was as equally, or more so, disdainful of Aria's choice of going into Starfleet as her parents, feeling Starfleet was a 'lesser' service. Sometime before stardate 239811.01 Ushow was piloting a Bajoran Military flyer when it crashed, leaving with a fatal heart condition.  Due to their shared Lera's Condition, the only possible way to save the older daughter was through an experimental heart tissue transplant from Aria.  Though Aria did not initially plan to donate the tissue, she did so.  It has not led to more than an superfical softening of the relationship between the two sisters.

After Aria's shunning by her family, she felt alone, isolated, and generally as shut off from the world as she ever had.  Combined with the death of [[#Ijo Alea|Ijo Alea]] she assumed she would never have a home of her home ever again.  She was surprised to find Alea's parents recognizing her pain, fighting through their own, and treating her as their own daughter, always managing to find her and offering her the support she desperately needed.  Accepting Aria's non-Bajoran Family into their own, even going so far as to calling Jazmine and Katya grandchildren and making it known the Ijo Estate would be given to Aria in the event of their passing.

Aria, through years of interaction, has deduced there was some sort of tension between the two Bajoran families (Ijo and Oddas) stemming from the time of the Occupation.  The Ijos are too polite to mention it outright, and Aria is not on speaking terms to ask her family what it is about.

; <span id="Ijo">Ijo Alea</span> : Deceased Fiancé, and friend since secondary school, who had planned to attend Starfleet at the same time as Aria.  During a hike, the year before they were scheduled to leave for the Academy Alea was crushed under a rock slide.  Aria's family had hoped, not secretly, that Alea's death would weaken Aria's desire to go to Starfleet, but the opposite happened.  Alea had planned to go to the academy alongside Aria and unbeknownst to Aria's parents the couple had exchanged promise bracelets - designed and crafted by Aria - in the days leading up to Ijo's death.  When her parents pressured her to stay on Bajor after the death, Aria realized that her desire to go was stronger than ever.

; <span id="Cada">Ijo Cada</span>: The mother of [[#Ijo Alea|Ijo Alea]], and someone who has stepped in as a 'surrogate' mother figure to Aria after the death of Alea.  Aria calls her 'Mother Cada' and is likely to write to her or visit her when thinking of home.  Aria knows few concrete details of Cada's time during the Resistance, but innuendo, stories told, and things Cada knows leads Aria, and everyone around her, to believe she was of some importance in the intelligence gathering field.  She insists she is a 'retired Bajoran Housewife', but she seems to know a lot about everyone in her family, which now includes characters ranging from Aria, to [[Irina Pavlova]] to [[Snow,_Jazmine|Jazmine Snow]].

; <span id="Teevin">Ijo Teevin</span>: The father of [[#Ijo Alea|Ijo Alea]], and until 239406.29<ref name="twoparties" /> was the head of the History Department at Bajor Academy of Technical and Military Sciences.  A man who does not like discuss his own past in the Resistance but does not shy from it, finds there are nonetheless people around him who are willing to embarrass him by telling of his heroic deeds.  Brags about Aria as if she were his own daughter, and treats [[Snow,_Jazmine|Jazmine]] and [[Katya_Pavlova|Katya]] as if they were grandchildren.  Introduced Aria to Kali-fal at too early of an age.

; [[Cole Melchor]]: One of the few close friends made during her years at the academy due to her studies.  Cole had never been off Earth before joining the academy.  Theirs is a true friendship despite being different species, world experiences, study disciplines.  He teases her about being stuck in books and engines, she teases him about only pushing buttons.  They stay in touch as often as they can.

Despite her status as Commanding Officer, she maintains an Engineering console to continue research and other projects, academic and practical. 

 

Her quarters at Denali have allowed her to organize and tame some of the clutter she is known for - gradually changing it from a cluttered mess to an organized, cluttered, collection.

: Aria went on to receive her ''Ph.D.'' based primarily on her work on the ''Warp XV Engine''.  She successfully defended her Dissertation at the ''Bajoran Academy of Technical and Military Sciences'' on Stardate 239602.16.  Her Dissertation was entitled ''The Discovery of a Multitude of Subspace Layers and the Ramifications on Warp Speeds''.

Based on the performance of the Juneau, and the ever-growing understanding of the Wilds, Starfleet Command transferred Oddas - and a bulk of the Eagle crew, to the Juneau.  Due largely to the efforts of the Juneau's crew Starfleet command saw the utility of having a permanent presence in the area and commissioned [[Denali Station]], ordering the newly promoted Fleet Captain Oddas Aria to head up the expedition.

On Stardate 239403.12<ref name="arm">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sb118-embassy/-UBb5I_Xd58</ref> Aria was in the [[Typhon Expanse]] assisting in the testing of the new [[TSD]].  During the [[The_Lost_Son_of_Leto_(Embassy_of_Duronis_II)|mission]] her ship and crew came under attack by several Borg drones and during the ensuing confrontation, Aria was shot in the arm while protecting a [[Laudean]] scientist. The shot caused extensive damage to her right arm and the normal course of treatment would have been the replacement of her right arm and shoulder. Due to a rare genetic marker, Lera Syndrome<ref  name="eaglephysical">https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-eagle/MTG6iofBGjA/aC4wFcDgBwAJ</ref>, in her body, she is unable to accept cloned tissue and she was fitted with a prosthetic by [[Boris_Hendon|Dr Boris Hendon]].
