Kalianna Nicholotti is the daughter of a retired Marine and a civilian nurse. Though her father would have preferred otherwise, she spent most of her childhood with her grandfather, who was a retired Marine Corps pilot. It was Mikhail Sr, who taught Kalianna to fly, and it was he who gifted her the antique F-18 Hornet she counts as her most prized possession.

It was in the aftermath of the latter event that an EMP moved through the ship, causing her artificial heart to fail. Thanks to the foresight of Doctor Johanna MacLaren, Kalianna survived the ordeal and walked away with a real, transplanted heart that now beats strong within her.

   

Brek is a Ferengi born in a tiny village on Ferenginar. He spent his childhood away from home, in a boarding school, and he left his home planet on the day of his majority. After spending several years trying without success to make his fortune, he realized that a more stable life would be more suited to his aspirations of wealth. This is how resolved to join the famed  Starfleet Academy.

More recently, during the conflict that opposed a fleet of Klingons rogues to the Thracian Alliance, Brek played an instrumental role in the signing of the Thracian protectorate. After an eventful soirée celebrating their victory with the crews of the USS Apollo and USS Mercury, he has had to battle with a zealous consultant and the reception of an unwanted gift. Now, back on duty, Brek has moved a portion of his belongings to the USS Columbia, as the Ops crew embarks for a long and perilous mission to Station Odyssey.

Vitor Stone Silveira is, in his own definition, a character. Or as one of his numerous sayings state “If he wasn’t born, he would have to be invented”. He is the only child of a couple of traders that was raised mostly by his paternal grandparents. He spent his childhood between Earth and Risa, this after his maternal grandparents retired there. And although his parents spent all the time they could with him it was the mix of both a rural life in Portugal, and the great relation with his grandfather, and the off time in Risa, that molded his character. He grew passionate of History and Portuguese culture and learned almost all of his grandfathers quotes and sayings.

   

Vitor took some time to reach the party. The surprise he was preparing and a small detour to get Lieutenant Benton on "partying" spirit made him late. But he still left his mark with his karaoke version of "Kung-fu fighting".

Joseph hails from Terra, North America. His parents, father, Anthony Dubeau and mother, Elizabeth Smith- Dubeau, are both teachers. His uncle, Vice Admiral Dubeau had very little influence over his decision to join Starfleet.

   

Dubeau's next mission had him taking the helm of the USS Victory during a battle with a Klingon fleet, threatening the Thracian Alliance. Dubeau attained the position of Chief Marine Officer. This new mission has begun with Dubeau having to transfer the fighter bay from Victory to the USS Columbia.

Johanna Deidre MacLaren, MD is the daughter of two UFOP high ranking diplomats. Her mother is from a prominent Betazoid family while her father, a Scottish peer, is from Aberfoyle, Scotland where he inherited an ancient estate where Johanna spent her early childhood with her older twin brothers, Gavin and Colin. Having been born with her telepathy active, Johanna suffered the problems often associated with this condition: the inability to shut out thoughts of others. She eventually learned to do so after years of training on Vulcan, an experience that was extremely difficult for the shy and sensitive child. The remote, emotionless world of Vulcan did nothing to help her overcome the shyness often misinterpreted as aloofness. Returning to earth, she entered Starfleet Medical where she graduated with academic distinction but with a notation in her file that her reserve tended to isolate her from others. Deeply caring about others, she made a determined effort to overcome her past when she arrived at SB118. During her internship on Alpha Seti one, a Borg raid had resulted in her being the only doctor left unwounded, a trial by fire for the young doctor suddenly in charge of the medical treatment of colonists under attack. A similar situation ensued upon her arrival at SB18 where the base was almost immediately under attack by Shadows which disabled the CMO, Dr. Deron almost immediately. As a result of her competence during this period, she was appointed CMO when Deron left the base. During the crisis she and the equally shy Marine Lieutenant Joseph Dubeau, fell in love, a surprise to both of them.

Johanna became CMO and immediately set about creating a warm and inviting atmosphere to replace the sterile environment normally associated with hospitals. She softened the décor, set up a welcoming center, encouraged the staff to stop by for coffee, tea and refreshments in hopes that they would feel more comfortable coming for care when it is needed. If her goal was a more old fashioned, personal approach to medicine, her state of the art work with genetic transplantation resulted in a cloned heart to replace the artificial heart Capt. Nicholotti had used for years and a new leg for Commander Alexander Matthews then of the USS Mercury. She and Joseph Dubeau have advanced both in their careers and personal lives, having recently become engaged.

Dany was born to the Vulcan Verok and an El-Aurian named Ishani Rose, both archaeologists, and for her formative years enjoyed great opportunities and the fresh, warm air of the moon. When Dany was 15 her mother took her away. Together they became part of the crew on a freighter called the SS Jen-Tuan. Under the command of a stern Rigelian, Loso Aral, and her first officer, the Ferengi Gern, the Jen-Tuan ran cargo of all sorts with the hidden agenda of aiding the Bajorans during the Occupation.
