| Ceciri first met Phos onboard the {{USS|Constitution|B}}, shortly before Ceciri transferred to the {{USS|Doyle|A}} and Phos attended a major conference.

Of course, Phos soon transferred to a scientific post and Ceciri hasn't really seen her since... | |||

| Fairioni has always disliked Starfleet, and was opposed to Ceciri joining in the first place. However, as she does care for Ceciri on some level, she had wrote Ceciri a few letters encouraging her to at the least - if she was going to join Starfleet - to be a credit to her name, and someone respect worthy. Prior to Ceciri's leaving to join Starfleet, she was Captain of a merchant vessel, but Ceciri heard from her aunt that she had left the firm and shortly after found employment with some new organization, one that kept her traveling. Shortly after Graduation, Ceciri began to get more regular letters with trackbacks that took it all over the borderland regions of the Federation. More oddly, they were often specific to what Ceciri was doing, even though Ceciri is very sure she had no monitoring from her. | | Fairioni, Ceciri's '''mother''' has always disliked Starfleet, and was opposed to Ceciri joining in the first place.

| Ceciri has looked up to Selene as a mentor for a while now, admiring the woman's professionalism and defense of her crew - although she suspects by now that some pain drives her onward. Regardless, when Ceciri wants some help from someone who has seen more in life, she is more likely to ask Selene - especially after she helped Ceciri out when the issue with her mother exploded . | |||

| Ksharian k'Larian s'Ariadust, Ceciri's ''father'' was a mechanic who was a steady and calm worker. In sharp contrast to Fairioni, Ksharian was known as a quiet woman who steadily carried on. Ksharian balanced out Fairioni's tendency for grand gestures and ventures, and was considered a good partner, especially as she was very stoic. Ceciri often thought that her untimely death in a mining accident when she was 13 made her mother worse. | |||

Having adopted Ceciri as her daughter after her own daughter died in a pirate attack and her mother's death, the two are working on a closer relationship, impeded slightly by the fact that they are often in seperate quadrants of the galaxy and the fact that Ceciri's exposure to many different cultures has made her more cosmopolitan. | |||

Ceciri was born to a relatively simple family. Her mother was a politician, a cousin to the mainline Ariadust political dynasty, and her father was a miner. While her mother had hopes that her daughter would join her and strengthen her branch of the Ariadust dynasty, Ceciri showed a marked aptitude for engineering and mechanical repair.

From an early age, her mother's anti-Starfleet sentiments had caused her to take a blow with the events of Wolf 359 and Starfleet's subsequent response. While her mother had dampened her criticisms, many in the Cygnian government remembered that she had been advocating for lower spending for Federation defense. Consequently, she lost a lot of political power, and she irrationally blamed Starfleet for that even further. With the Dominion War (starting in 2373), her mother surprisingly advocated for more focus to be spent on Federation defense, as well as a general upgrade to Cygnian defenses in an attempt to revive her political fortunes by . During the upgrade plans, the surprise invasion and occupation of Betazed caused a panic within the Cygnian government, and her mother attempted to capitalize on it to revive her fortunes and advocate reducing manpower and resources sent to Starfleet. Unfortunately for her, her cousin Sharioni Ariadust deftly outmaneuvered her and turned it around, believing strongly that the problem was they sent too few personnel to Starfleet - even at the height of the Dominion War, the portion going offworld was still near .005%. In addition, now that the mainline government was heavily into emergency upgrades of their defense network and creating a mini starbase for the system, she was suddenly disgraced. | From an early age, her mother's anti-Starfleet sentiments had caused her to take a blow with the events of Wolf 359 and Starfleet's subsequent response.

The death of Ceciri's father on SD 237510.01 shortly after the signing of the {{ma|Treaty of Bajor}} left and her mother had no choice but to join their aunt's shipping venture. At the time, the entire venture was one ship that usually ran cargo, but would often also transport single passengers depending on need. This venture often ran around the [[Serellan Sector]] and to [[Starbase 118]], but often ran to spinward directions and the outer colonies. Often operating outside the Federation coreworlds, Ceciri found her Engineering instincts tested and she became rapidly adept at the practicals of maintaining a cargo ship and starship repair. From 2375 to 2387, she gained more responsibility and became a relief pilot as well, having a few close calls, including one at [[Cart'hen III]], where she narrowly escaped death or worse only thanks to someone who threw a disruptor at her. | The death of Ceciri's father on SD 237510.01 shortly after the signing of the {{ma|Treaty of Bajor}} left and her mother had no choice but to join their aunt's shipping venture.
