|NAME = Lilavati Chandur
Dr. '''Lilavati Chandur''', is a civilian psychiatrist currently assigned to the USS Gorkon. Formerly a Starfleet Lieutenant and a veteran of the Dominion War, Doctor Chandur once again resigned her commission after the deaths of Morgan Vance and the rest of the crew of the USS Thomas Edison during the Prometheus Incident. Taking a few months off to write her report about the virus, Doctor Chandur returned to Earth and her family before signing up again with Starfleet as a civilian contractor. Not fully comfortable in her uniform but feeling like she owed something to her old friend, Doctor Chandur took the assignment on the Gorkon as much for her sense of duty as to help herself work through her close friend's death.

Lieutenant '''Lilavati Chandur''' is a civilian psychiatrist on the [[USS Gorkon]]. A veteran of the Dominion War, Dr. Chandur was a junior officer when the war began but came out a hardened veteran. Resigning a few months after the war ended, Lilavati returned to Earth to start a family with her husband Anik Thangavel. In 2377, Lilavati gave birth to a son, Anil, followed by a daughter in 2378, Anika, and another daughter in 2385, Roshini. In 2391 she was persuaded to return to Starfleet by Captain Morgan Vance, her XO during the War. Taking an 8 month rotation on the Thomas Edison, Lilavati was due to transfer off the Piktar system in a few weeks, before the Prometheus Incident changed everything.  


===Early Life===
__NOTOC__
Born in Mombassa, Kenya in 2346 to a well established Keralite Indian family, Lilavati grew up along the white sanded beaches of the jewel of Eastern Africa. Growing up, Lilavati was a rather wild but intelligent child, who largely blew off academia to read independently in trees or on the beach. A multi-cultural city, Lilavati grew up speaking Malayali, English and Arabic fluently. When she was 15, her father was posted to the USS Galaxy as a civilian researcher for a while and offered to take Lilavati with him. Living aboard the ''Galaxy'' for a year, the officers and crew rubbed off on her and she began to take things in her life more seriously, but only just. Upon returning to Earth 13 months later, Lilavati set her sights on seeing more of the wonders of space she had seen onboard the ''Galaxy'' and made it her personal imperative to apply to Starfleet Academy and become a Starfleet Physician. For both a sense of adventure and a desire for fame.

===Time in Starfleet===
===<font color=Teal>Education</font>===
Upon entering the Academy, Lilavati took well to Starfleet life, being an excellent cadet and an incredible young academic. She graduated in the top 5% of her class and entered Starfleet Medical Academy the fall afterwards. Upon her graduation from medical school, she was given a deep space assignment, aboard the USS Trafalgar, an aging Excelsior Class vessel. Over the course of two years, the young Dr. Chandur served with distinction and was eventually promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade, and was once again assigned to the USS Galaxy in 2373. Her joy at being assigned to the Galaxy was cut short when the Dominion War broke out and the ''Galaxy'' became a frontline ship of war. Serving in the Galaxy's medical bay for the majority of the war including the First Battle of Chin'toka, Lilavati saw her fair share of action. Seeing potential in the young Doctor, the Captain of the ''Galaxy'' recommended her for a promotion and she served on the USS Nobel as their Chief Medical Officer.

{{header|teal|Appearance & Personality}}
* '''Height''': 175cm (5'9")
* '''Weight''': 63 kilos (140 LBS)
* '''Hair Color''': Brown
* '''Eye Color''': Blue
* '''Skin Tone''': Fair
* '''Handedness''': Right
Lilavati is a strikingly beautiful woman in her mid-40s whose brilliance both mental and physical has not dimmed with age, stress or trauma.  


This would be happy occasion was cut short as well when the ''Nobel'' was destroyed at Ricktor Prime, one of many ships to suffer the same fate. Out of a crew of over 800, only 86 survived, including Lilavati and then Commander Morgan Vance. Drifting alone in an escape pod for several days, the two officers formed a close bond that would continued for near 20 years. Eventually they were rescued and taken to a Starbase for rehabilitation, reuniting with the rest of the survivors. Refusing to be taken off the frontlines, Lilavati and Commander Vance returned to active duty soon afterwards and served for the remainder of the war on the USS Cape Town, seeing action at the Battle of Cardassia Prime.  
===Tone/Personality===
*'''Voice''': Feminine but commanding, Lilavati speaks with a distinct cultivated Indian English accent.
*'''Religious Beliefs''': Catholic (Malabar Rite). Lilavati has been many things in her time, but has always come back to the Syriac Christian faith she was raised in. Devout, but not zealous, she has struggled with doubt in the past but going through a major interstellar conflict to start a family on the other side has given Lilavati much needed perspective and purpose.  
Brilliant, Beautiful, Ambitious and Resilient, these are all words that have been used to describe Lilavati Chandur. To her, these words are titles and mean little and she would rather be remembered for her various deeds and not her individual traits. Mother of three, survivor of the Battle of Ricktor Prime, Carrington Award nominee, Lilavati prefers to be remembered for her truly amazing accomplishments and not words of praise blindly lauded and stamped on paper. She finds challenges and seeks accomplishment in everything she does. From medical school to motherhood, from the battlefield to the operating table, Lilavati has never rested on her laurels and there is much she believes yet to be done.  


With the end of the war and the new year, Lilavati was somewhat eager to return to some normalcy in her life and resigned her commission in the summer of 2376, after a promotion to full Lieutenant.

===Family===
Lilavati was born to a Keralite Christian family long established on both sides of the Indian Ocean. Her distant paternal ancestors were merchants who arrived in colonial Kenya at the turn of the 19th century, though they had been long prosperous on the Malabar coast for centuries. On her mother's side, Lilavati's ancestry can be traced back to the Kings of Karnakata.
* '''Spouse''' Anik Thangavel: A British civil engineer of Tamil descent, Lilavati and Anik were introduced to each other when Lilavati was staying the summer with an Aunt in London. Anik was quickly enamored with the Kenyan medical student but Lilavati stayed reticent for weeks before she allowed him to take her on a date. After two years, great distances and "a sickening amount of flowers", Lilavati accepted Anik's third marriage proposal. The start of the Dominion War threw off their wedding plans but they continued to remain in contact, with Anik even enlisting in Starfleet, saying that it would be "bad form" for his fiancé to be the one being shipped off to war. A year into the war and several harrowing battles, Lilavati and Anik finally tied the knot in a small ceremony on Starbase 375. After the battle of Ricktor Prime, Lilavati was feared dead for several days before her escape pod was found. A few months after the end of the war, Lilavati resigned her commission and returned to Earth, where she married Anik in a traditional c Syro-Catholic ceremony. During their years away from Starfleet, the two had three children together and Anik worked on several large irrigation projects on Earth while Lilavati finally finished her training as a psychiatrist. Those fifteen years were happy ones and their marriage is strong and affectionate.
* '''Children''': 3
===Friends===
===Colleagues===
*'''Morgan Vance''':
Lilavati's XO on the USS Nobel, Commander Vance saved her life during the Battle of Ricktor Prime. Spending nearly a week in an escape pod, the two grew very close and their friendship would last for 16 years. He was part of the wedding party at Anik and Lilavati's wedding and godfather to two of their three children. In 2391, when Vance was given command of the USS Thomas Edison, he sought Lilavati out as his first and only choice for the position of ship's Chief Medical Officer. Lilavati agreed to take up the uniform again, at least for a time. During this time, the Thomas Edison was assigned to the Piktar System and Prometheus station. There, they encountered an anomaly and a strange virus. This virus mutated most of the crew save for Lilavati, Chief Petty Officer Rand, and Ensign Eleni Kostas. After their rescue by the crew of the Constiution two weeks after encountering the anomaly, the anomaly began to collapse and it took the Thomas Edison and the infected crew with it, including Captain Vance. The death of her close friend hit Lilavati hard and after seeing to his affairs, giving his eulogy and accepting his flag at his funeral with full honors, she returned to her own family for a few months, heartbroken at the loss of her friend and so many others.
