Sex: Female
SURNAME:              
Age: 97
GIVEN NAME:  
Hair: Black
CURRENT RANK:           LCDR, (O-4)
Eyes: Brown

Height: 5'11"
SPECIES (EXTRACTION):   Vulcan/Human
Weight: 108 lbs
GENDER/SEX:             Male
POB: Hsien Vor (Romulan Colony)
AGE:                   38
Father: Centurian Juren Dar
DOB:                   14th of February 2383
Mother: Commander Hisad Kalya
POB:                   Albany, New York (Earth)


PARENTS:               Arthur Syll(Admiral, SB 404, Father)
Education: Admitted Romulan Naval Academy 2350, branch Communications.
                        Sorpel (Mother, Director of Starfleet Emergency Services, Vulcan)
Trained in Vulcan language and culture.  Attended Voice Intercept and
Surveillance advanced training in 2362.


SIBLINGS:               None
Background: Jen is the granddaughter of Ambassador Caithlin Dar, the
Romulan representive sent to Nimbus III (Star Trek V), and is said to look
"just like her."


SPOUSE:                Sorell
Jen is an only child, and with both of her parents being career naval
CHILDREN:              4 (Stonn, Sturek, Shania, T'Rel)
officers, she only had one choice as far as career was concerned.  Thin and
weak by Romulan standards, she barely passed the academy entrance tests,
however she quickly demonstrated her gift for languages, learning the
languages of four of the Empire's enemies with such fluency, that she could
pass for a native speaker (Vulcan, Fed Standard, Klingon and Andorian).
This ability attracted the attention of the admiralty, and Jen was recruited
and trained to serve both in espionage and counter-espionage capacities, as
well as First Contact and Cross-Cultural Communications.  Recruited is not
quite an accurate term, as Jen was coerced into serving the Tal¹Shiar,
though it was not accidental that the Tal¹Shiar became interested in her.

With the war over, Jen returned to Romulus where she served for a few more
decades, however when the admiralty was approached by the Federation with
the possibility of an officer exchange, Tanjien Dar, now a Sub Commander was
selected for the assignment.  She spent a number of months on the USS
Endeavour as the ship's counselor, then was recalled back to Romulus as the
Romulan senate suffered from its own internal problems.  A second stint as
an exchange officer, this time on the USS Macronin, came at the same time as
significant Romulan activity within Federation space.  As a result of the
"Pisces Incident", all factions connected in any way to deceased Enriov
(Admiral) Tr'Ninith have been recalled to Romulus to face a purge from the
highest levels.  Tanjien Dar, while not involved in the Pisces incident in
any recent
way, was sent to the Federation as an exchange officer by none other than
Enriov Tr'Ninith, and thus Tanjien Dar was also ordered back to Romulus, to
be executed.


==================================================================
Sub Commander Dar received word of her recall while serving on board USS
II.     EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
Macronin, in Green fleet, however at the time that she received the order,
==================================================================
she was tracking Macronin's captain, who had been kidnapped by Orions.
Delaying her order long enough to rescue Captain Thorne, a personal friend,
Tanjien Dar set out with a small Federation/Romulan crew and brought Captain
Thorne back from her kidnappers.  Though her methods were brutal, Captain
Thorne was not harmed in any way, and as a result, CINCSF himself intervened
on her behalf.


A. Academic Institutions Attended:

desperately needed by the Star Empire, a pardon and emigration visa was
issued for Tanjien Dar, who essentially became a stateless person.


B. Service Schools Attended:
Dar was quickly brought into Starfleet intelligence for debriefing and
----------------------------------

any way, her long-standing service and loyalty to the Federation were also
taken into account. In the end, Federation citizenship was granted, as was
a commission in Starfleet at her Romulan rank of O-5, or Starfleet
Commander, branched science and communications.


C. Qualifications:
Jen's Romulan career was an active one, partly spent monitoring and

interpreting Federation communications from behind Federation lines. She

intercepting and interpreting errant signals, as well as making contact with
non-Federation member worlds within Federation border space.  However early
in her first tour, while tracking a small Federation courier vessel, she
witnessed an attack on said vessel by the Borg, and with the entire crew
killed and the vessel ignored, was ordered to assume the identity of the
Vulcan science officer on board that ship.  For 9 months Jen remained
"behind enemy lines", gathering not only a wide assortment of intelligence,
but upon return, providing a detailed analysis of Starfleet's readiness that
resulted in massive invasion plans, and almost started a war, for her report
was published 6 months after Wolf 359, at which she "served" on the USS
Gemini, and with
Starfleet's strength at an all-time low, invasion became a winnable
stratagem.  Of course anyone who read the report would be clearly aware that
Dar herself was vehemently against such a course of action, and she used her
eloquent writing skills to minimize the attractiveness of that prospect, but
the raw data she did honestly report, and more conservative elements within
the empire held sway and military buildup took place.

Federation.  Dar was truly relieved that war did not come between the empire
and the Federation, though the Dominion war proved extremely costly to both
the Romulans and the Federation.  While she was angered that her work had
resulted in plans for the invasion of the Federation, she was somewhat
vindicated when that same build-up was used to fight the Dominion.


Her next assignment was command of the small scout vessel Khorsk, a
146-year-old Bird of Prey with a crew of 5.  The Khorsk, and other ships
like her, are assigned patrol duties, in Dar's case, inside Federation
space.

Personality:

Like most of her race, while appearing as a Vulcan, she is driven not by

logic but by emotion and reason much as humans are, though she has learned
well to feign Vulcan disinterest.  She is quiet most of the time, curious by
nature, and possessed of an eidetic memory, hence her gift with languages.
Due to her frail (by Romulan standards) build, she has always been rather
timid when it came to physical activities, and while semi-skilled in the
disruptor, she prefers to leave any fighting to others, knowing that her
talents lie elsewhere.

He stayed on the HIGHLANDER for two years eventually earning a promotion to

After that, he was assigned as Chief of Sciences on Starbase 404 where his
diplomatic and scientific prowess would be beneficial. His wife joined him
to raise their family on the station. After five years on the station,
 
Syll was transferred to the USS HASTINGS, a aging yet beautiful Intrepid Class
vessel as her second officer and chief science officer. It was here that
Merlin's career towards the command track began taking shape.
 
The Hastings was sent to a diplomatic mission to the planet of Mariposa to
formally end a stalemate between the clones of a previous generation and that
of the full blood children born. To prevent a civil Starfleet assigned Lieutenant
Syll to negotiate on behalf of the Federation.
 
Mister Syll was able to determine the cause and offer a solution to the problem
which was an emotional one. He suggested a monogamous marriage between one and
the other. Since he was the product of a mixed marriage it seemed ideal.
 
When the Prime Minister of the Planet refused to allow monogamy and wished to
return to cloning Lieutenant Syll gave the Prime Minister a copy of the Federation's
  early history, the Augment Crisis from centuries ago. The Prime Minister reviewed
it and noticed that the Officer was correct in this hypothesis that if the colony
returned to Cloning it would end the civilization. The Prime Minister agreed to
monogamous relationship and ordered the historic cloning facility dismantled.
He had witnessed the destruction of the facility. 
 
He then offered the Prime Minister to allow a scientific educational facility
on the planet as an extension of the Vulcan Science Academy to assist in  
preventive scientific measures and to ensure the colony survived without having
to once again think of cloning.
 
For that action Lieutenant Syll was given a citation for diplomatic ingenuity.
He remained on the HASTINGS until he was assigned as Second Officer of the USS
RAINMAKER.
 
During the tour the RAINMAKER was hijacked led by the ship's first officer who
became disgruntled. Commander Ross Finnegan had been turned down for command
of his own ship four times and was nearing forced retirement. Commander Finnegan
arranged to have the RAINMAKER intercepted by Orion Pirates and agreed to
sell the crew in exchange for making the RAINMAKER his personal ship in the
ORION cartel.
 
It was here the tactical training his father insisted he take while at the
academy came in handy. The Orions rounded up every single member except him.
Syll led a armed insurrection against Finnegan who was ultimately defeated in
a fight in the ship?s cargo bay as he attempted to escape after Syll successfully
  restored command. His last duty on RAINMAKER was to bury his Captain, Charles
Grant and attend the court martial of former Starfleet Officer Finnegan. It
was here he met his future CO, Captain Orleese Forrent who was part of the
rescue mission when RAINMAKER was able to get a distress call out.
 
After the RAINMAKER incident, Syll was assigned as Chief Science Officer on
the USS PERSEPHONE.

Tanjien Dar is tall and very thin, and while Romulans are generally
stronger than their human counterparts, she falls toward the middle-range of
average for a human female of her general build.  While she is 97 years old,
Romulans, like Vulcans, are long lived, and she is actually closer to 30 in
human aging terms.  Lastly, like her grandmother Caithlin Dar, she has Asian
features and is extremely exotic-looking and sensual.
