eugenics program begun at the colony's founding.


Until recently, Serenidad's "natural" abilities were enhanced by a series of
artificial implants. She had artificial eyes that interface with three bioimplants
in her cortex. These permitted her to visually process data files stored within
her implants as well as improve physical coordination. Other implants in her
cerebellum gave her acrobatic agility. Buried within her bones lay a personal
shield generator, site-to-site transporter, and various energy weapons. Stored
elsewhere were nanite workers to keep her artifical parts working and as
anti-borg combatants.

had ordered this aciton for all Sicaraxans serving in Starfleet and in
governmental offices throughout the Federation. It was deemed a politically
necessary gesture in the planet's application for Federation membership. Serenidad
looks forward to the day when her enhanced abilities will be restored to her.


Callista Veld- who is called "Cal" by almost everyone except her mother and
   
her more famous older cousin, Cayle- is relatively new to Star Fleet, having
graduated from the Academy only within the past year. However, her drive
and determination have already earned her a promotion and a new billet-

makes the assignment to TESLA II very interesting...
  AMBITIONS
Serenidad seeks to build political connections through Starfleet, then run for the
Federation Council. She wishes nothing less than to speed the Federation's march
toward symbiosis with the synthetic. She sees this as the next inevitable step in
human evolution.  


CHARACTERISTICS
Serenidad is intellectual, deeply spiritual, and quietly passionate about her
political views. She is aware of the Federation's reluctance to indulge in
artificial human enhancements and guards her more shocking opinions on eugenics.
Since the Sicaraxan authorities ordered its citizens working within the Federation
to abandon their artificial bio-devices, Serenidad's loyalty has been severly
tested. Her cool confidence has shifted to near constant unease as she struggles to
adapt to life without her enhancements. She feels far less secure personally
without her body defenses.


She treasures friendship, loyalty, and integrity. She does not trust anyone easily.
Those who betray her trust find it nearly impossible to regain it.

VIII. Miscelleneous Notes
=========================


Cal has not had a noteworthy career to date; her professional experiences
on USS TESLA II were lukewarm at best due to her inability to balance
her personal feelings and principles against the mission's objectives.
As seems typical of all Veld officers, Cal will not simply obey an order
for the sake of obeying; however, as she does not have eithe rher uncle's
(the CINCSF) of her cousin's (the highly-decorated CO of USS CIRCE)
career to back up her opinions as of yet, she has found herself on the
short end of more than one fitness report.  Recent successes aboard KIROV,
however, have bolstered her confidence and resurrected her career.


Personally, however, she had just begun a relationship (against regulations)
with the TESLA's XO, LT Dant Bladum, when she was transferred.  She
has continued this relationship at a distance to date.
