B. Background Summary

Dark Blade is a career Starfleet engineering officer with twenty years of service, recognised for both her technical proficiency and her unconventional approach to starship engineering. Her academic work attracted early attention after she was invited to an exclusive Warp Core Symposium hosted by Captain (Ret.) Montgomery Scott and for authoring the paper “Zen and the Art of Warp Drive”.

Her graduate thesis on large-scale power restoration remains a reference document within several Starfleet Engineering training tracks.

C. Personality Summary

Blade is methodical, deeply intuitive with propulsion systems, and openly philosophical in her approach to engineering. She is known for describing her relationship with warp systems as learning to “be one with the engines”. While eccentric in presentation and supervision style, her behaviour has never negatively impacted performance or crew effectiveness.
