If Dr. Aquila Kiani had to be assigned an epitaph on her headstone, no man could argue against highlighting her ceaseless dedication to her profession. They would only be half right in doing so though, for despite her aloofness, there was a part of her that desperately wanted to be close to her family. She could be warm, kind and even loving at times, making these moments of vulnerably doubly cherished by those who loved her in turn - whether due to obligation or through some genuine unexplained fondness. | If Dr. Aquila Kiani had to be assigned an epitaph on her headstone, no man could argue against highlighting her ceaseless dedication to her profession.

Aquila was born in Lahore, on Earth, but unlike most Terrans she was desperate to leave. She had always had a particular love for plant life, and when given the chance to train in Botany at the prestigious University of Betazed, she hopped on the first liner off-world. This would mark the beginning of a long and storied career in the field. Culminating in the synthesis of a novel strand of food crop varieties which were particularly resistant to a myriad of climatic conditions and would regularly guarantee high yields. The breakthrough resulted in a marked improvement in quality of life for colonists with limited access to energy. For her work Aquila has been awarded multiple commendations and honours from various institutions. But, the closest to her heart remains the renaming of the Exrenitii Conservatory in Tarola'n to the Aquila Kiani Wildlife Sanctuary. | Aquila was born in Lahore, on Earth, but unlike most Terrans she was desperate to leave.
