Personal History
Early Life (2376 - 2394)
Seleya was born on the Kazleti's new homeworld of Taithros, into the Khanda tribe. Her parents were traditionalists, adhering to the cultural norms of their tribe. They saw themselves as not only the protectors of their people but also the guardians of their heritage.
Being the youngest of two siblings, she often found herself in her brother’s shadow—not that she minded. To Seleya, Gelrus was her hero: strong, intelligent, and charismatic. A model for any Kazleti to aspire to, and an endless source of inspiration for her. She was often by her brother's side, earning her the affectionate nickname "Gelrus’s little bodyguard." Seleya wanted nothing more than to make her big brother proud, even more so than her parents during her teenage years.
Her relationship with her parents was always good, but she understood that Gelrus was the center of their hopes, and she was more than happy to support him. However, when she came of age, she chose a different path. Rather than following Gelrus to university, she joined the Kazleti Cultural Guard, a small, ceremonial army tasked with protecting cultural and historical sites.
Early Adult Life (2394 - 2399)
But then something changed. Gelrus, once set on joining the prestigious Jorarkos Institute of Technology, shocked everyone when he announced his acceptance into Starfleet Academy. Their parents were dismayed by his decision to leave their homeworld but ultimately accepted it. Seleya, on the other hand, was proud of him; she'd always known he was destined for great things.
While Gelrus was at the Academy, they often communicated over subspace. He consistently urged Seleya to follow him, reassuring her that she could make it into Starfleet and represent their people on a galactic stage. When Seleya’s first tour of duty with the Cultural Guard ended, she applied to Starfleet Academy and was accepted to pursue a career in security and tactical operations.
Her parents were once again taken aback by the decision and far less supportive than when Gelrus had left. The thought of both their children being off-world filled them with dread. It was only after Gelrus spoke to them that they reluctantly gave Seleya their blessing.
Starfleet (2399 - Present)
Earth became a place of growth for Seleya. At the Academy, no one knew her or her brother, so she stood on her own merits. Gelrus was always a call away if she needed advice, but she was no longer in his shadow. Within a year, her brother graduated and accepted an assignment aboard the U.S.S. Asmara, leaving Seleya to chart her own path.
But during her third year at the Academy, tragedy struck. While on patrol near the Alpha Isles, the U.S.S. Asmara engaged in a skirmish with the Lattice Alliance. The ship was destroyed, and all hands were initially presumed lost. A week later, survivors were discovered stranded on a nearby planet. Gelrus was among them, but he was gravely injured and barely alive. Starfleet medical personnel stabilized him, but some of his injuries were permanent. The psychological wounds, however, ran deeper.
Gelrus was discharged with honors and sent home to recover. Starfleet granted Seleya leave, allowing her to continue her studies remotely while she returned home to support her family.
The homecoming, however, brought little peace. While they were grateful for Gelrus's survival, seeing him broken in both body and spirit was devastating. He was never left alone, but the strain fractured the family dynamic. Tensions flared as her parents, terrified of losing another child to Starfleet, insisted she abandon her career and rejoin the Cultural Guard.
Discussions became arguments; arguments became shouting matches. Watching her brother’s broken state tore her apart, but it also fueled her resolve. She promised Gelrus she would carry on his dream and do everything she could to prevent other families from enduring the same pain.
Despite her parents' pleas, Seleya returned early from her leave to complete her training at Starfleet Academy.
