Name: Tanjien Dar | |||
Rank: Commander | |||
Race: Romulan | |||
Sex: Female | |||
Age: 97 | |||
Hair: Black | |||
Eyes: Brown | |||
Height: 5'11" | |||
Weight: 108 lbs | |||
POB: Hsien Vor (Romulan Colony) | |||
Father: Centurian Juren Dar | |||
Mother: Commander Hisad Kalya | |||
Education: Admitted Romulan Naval Academy 2350, branch Communications. | |||
Trained in Vulcan language and culture. Attended Voice Intercept and | |||
Surveillance advanced training in 2362. | |||
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." | |||
Jen is an only child, and with both of her parents being career naval | |||
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 coming of the Dominion war and the Empire's joining forces with the | |||
Federation and the Klingons, Jen once again found that she was a very useful | |||
person to have around. Now at the rank of Centurian, she served on DS9 as | |||
the Romulan fleet liaison, her knowledge of Starfleet procedure and | |||
operations allowing her effectively coordinate the activities of Romulan | |||
ships with their Federation counterparts. This was her first truly | |||
diplomatic role, as she found herself balancing the operational requirements | |||
and security protocols of the Romulan command on one side with the military | |||
objectives and necessity for joint operations and cooperation with | |||
Federation forces on the other. | |||
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 | |||
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. | |||
While Dar is too proud to seek asylum, CINCSF was not too proud to "bring | |||
up" the Sub Commander's contributions at a meeting with a Romulan senator. | |||
As the meeting involved a massive aid package of food and minerals | |||
desperately needed by the Star Empire, a pardon and emigration visa was | |||
issued for Tanjien Dar, who essentially became a stateless person. | |||
Dar was quickly brought into Starfleet intelligence for debriefing and | |||
interrogation, and though she steadfastly refused to betray her people in | |||
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. | |||
Jen's Romulan career was an active one, partly spent monitoring and | |||
interpreting Federation communications from behind Federation lines. She | |||
spent roughly half of her active career on a small bird of prey, | |||
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. | |||
While Dar was not officially trained for intelligence work, and appeared | |||
quite | |||
terrified at the prospect of going "under cover", the Tal Shiar officer on | |||
her ship made it clear to her that if she chose to disobey the order, it | |||
would be considered as treason, and she and her family would be dealt with | |||
accordingly. It was the coming of the Dominion that halted the invasion | |||
plans, and it was the massive Romulan fleet build-up in preparation for the | |||
Invasion of the UFP that allowed the Romulans to so effectively fight the | |||
Dominion, so in a way, Dar's earlier report ultimately helped to save the | |||
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. | |||
Sub Commander Dar is very loyal to both of her masters, though always her | |||
first loyalty is to her own sense of honor. Should she receive conflicting | |||
orders from Romulus and the Federation, she would do her best to find a | |||
creative solution which would violate neither, but if forced to make a | |||
choice, would side with the virtuous, unless and until it created a security | |||
violation for the empire, which is a line she would never cross. | |||
As an exchange officer, the Romulan high Command presented Sub Commander Dar | |||
as a cultural anthropologist/communications expert, which while more of a | |||
science officer in the Starfleet hierarchy, Dar was considered more of a | |||
diplomat after her work on DS9, and was assigned to the advisory role of a | |||
Ship's Counselor, with the civilian title of "Ambassador" on the USS | |||
Endeavour, where she served for one year. | |||
Lastly, with the current rift between the two factions of Romulan politics, | |||
it should be noted that Dar has no love of the Tal'Shiar, especially after | |||
the coercive means by which she placed in extreme jeapordy early in her | |||
career. During her tenure at DS9, she developed a strong working | |||
relationship with, and respect for many officers in Starfleet, and is | |||
solidly committed to the success of the Federation/Romulan alliance, seeing | |||
as the only way that both governments can move forward in the changed | |||
socio-political climate of the Alpha Quadrant. | |||
Physical Appearance: | |||
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. | |||

BACKGROUND MATERIAL: | |||
Marion Shelby was born in a parallel universe into a similar but slightly | |||
different version of the Federation. | |||
Some children grow up in the shadow of a successful or celebrated parent. Marion | |||
Elisabeth Shelby grew up in the shadow of a long family line of overachievers | |||
that stretched back (albeit tenuously) to General Jo Shelby the Confederate | |||
cavalry leader who refused to surrender after the American Civil War was over.. | |||
Her father is a Starfleet admiral and diplomatic envoy on Bolius, his father | |||
- | commanded a battle cruiser during the Dominion War and her grand-aunt helped | ||
dispel the Borg invasion of the Federation. Likewise her mother is a renowned | |||
physician from a wealthy British family. | |||
With a family tree like this Marion was doomed to greatness from the moment she | |||
was born since her parents would accept nothing less than excellence from their | |||
child.. To this day rumors persist that Marion's mother underwent several | |||
treatments that toed the line to genetic enhancement during her pregnancy | |||
although medical tests at Starfleet have been inconclusive. | |||
Mom and dad decided even before Marion's birth that her daughter would join | |||
Starfleet or at the very least the Marine Corps and they pushed her toward that | |||
goal as soon as she could walk and speak. | |||
They called it "making the best out of her potential", rationalizing that their | |||
daughter would become a spoiled rich child otherwise. Luckily Marion was both | |||
bright and eager enough to meet their expectations. She became a successful | |||
fencer and show jumper while her school grades allowed her to enter Starfleet | |||
Academy. | |||
During the next four years Marion practically lived and breathed for the | |||
approval of her family and the challenges Starfleet offered. In time she | |||
actually found that she liked the command track which gave her grades another | |||
push upward. Her single minded pursuit of excellence made her popular with the | |||
instructors but her often cold and abrasive personality kept the other cadets as | |||
arms length and earned her nicknames among which "Vulcan Ice Queen" was one of | |||
the nicer ones. | |||
However, even the facts that she graduated at the top 5 % of her class and | |||
captained the Academy fencing team in her last cadet year barely earned her an | |||
approving nod from her father. | |||
Her first assignment was the USS SORANUS where she served as OPS until the ship | |||
- | together with a few dozen others vessels and space installations was thrown into | ||
another universe - the universe of ASR. Before long the "people from the other | |||
side" became informally known as the "rabbit holers". After a period of | |||
retraining in what was a new Starfleet for her Marion resumed the position of | |||
OPS but not on the SORANUS but on a half-derelict space station named MARRAKESH | |||
that had also made the dimensional jump. | |||
For some reason Admiral Maxwell Shelby II, counterpart of the man who used to be | |||
Marion's father in her own continuum, arranged for her to be transferred to what | |||
could be considered a more prestigious assignment - Operations Manager of the | |||
USS DAEDALUS. | |||
After a mission that involved a Klingon mining colony, Captain Harris´ infant | |||
child and hordes of murderous genetically engineered monsters Marion earned a | |||
swift promotion to full Lieutenant. | |||
Upon their return to GIBRALTAR the DAEDALUS crew fought a non-corporeal emotion | |||
vampire who had descended onto the space station causing large-scale death and | |||
mayhem.. Under the control of that emotion vampire a GIBRALTAR officer carried | |||
out two almost successful assassination attempts on Shelby. The experience left | |||
her in a precarious unbalanced state of slight paranoia that would probably | |||
worry her counselor - if she would visit one. | |||
Professional Skill Profile: | |||
Helm and Navigation | |||
Tactical Operations | |||
Political Sciences | |||
Administration & Personnel | |||
Racial and Cultural Background: | |||
Marion Shelby was born and raised on Earth and educated on private schools in | |||
Great Britain (Earth) before joining the Academy. See Background section for | |||
more details | |||
Medical and Physiological Background: | |||
During her third year at the Academy Marion underwent extensive genetic | |||
screening to confirm or deny rumors that she had been genetically enhanced as a | |||
child. The doctors noted a remarkable stable genetic structure and a | |||
well-above-average IQ but in the end they could not make any conclusive | |||
diagnosis. Finally the board of instructors decided to give the promising cadet | |||
the benefit of doubt and allowed her to continue her studies. Marion still feels | |||
greatly embarrassed by the procedure and only recently did she find out who of | |||
her fellow cadets spread the rumors in the first place. Only years later in | |||
in-depth physicals aboard the USS SORANUS finally proved conclusively that | |||
Marion´s genes had not been artificially enhanced. | |||
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: | |||
Marion was showered by her parents more with demands and expectations than with | |||
parental love. As a result she has grown aloof, remote and demanding not because | |||
she's a bad person but because she knows nothing else. | |||
Nothing but top performance in herself and others is good enough for her. She | |||
cares for others but more out of a sense of duty than out of heartfelt empathy. | |||
Even her two serious relationships were based more on physical attraction than | |||
real deep feelings. | |||
In a less enlightened century than the 24th others might have called her a | |||
the | bitch. Even in the 24th century many do. | ||
Marion comes across as aggressive, ambitious and tenacious. Patience with what | |||
she perceives as incompetence or lack of dedication is not her strong suit. | |||
However, no one can argue that she is top in her profession and calm under | |||
pressure. | |||
Having practically grown up around the brass she is unafraid to speak her mind | |||
around superior officers. As much as Starfleet values professionalism and skill | |||
her quest for personal perfection and parental approval concerns the Academy | |||
counselors but they hope that her hard demeanor will soften once she is exposed | |||
to real life. In fact, her last counselor suggested to put her into the front | |||
line far away from contact with her father. | |||
HOBBIES AND INTERESTS: | |||
Yoga, Karate, Self-Improvement | |||

"I would describe Ensign Shelby as a driven person, driven to achieve success | |||
and be the best in her case. While extraordinary achievement is a hallmark of | |||
Starfleet officers, I'm somewhat concerned about the single-mindedness of her | |||
pursuits. The Ensign would be well-advised to learn how to relax and how to | |||
value friendships." | |||
LT Liotta, Assistant Counselor, Starfleet Academy | |||
========================================================= | ========================================================= | ||
"Considering that she had been thrown out of her own space-time continuum and | |||
lost all her friends and family, in fact her very reality Ensign Shelby has | |||
adjusted remarkably well to her rather extreme situation. In fact, it seems to | |||
me she adjusted too well all things considered." | |||

FAMILY HISTORY | |||
The Jackson Family has a long and revered tradition of military service. Their links go all the way back to "Stonewall" Jackson. | |||
Kieren's great-great-great-great-great grandfather, Ian Jackson, played an important role in the formation of the Federation and | |||
Starfleet. His son, and Kieren's great-great-great-great grandfather, Roger, was amongst the founding leadership of SF Intelligence. | |||
His great-great-great grandmother, Ursula, was head of the team which negotiated the terms of the neutral zone. His great | |||
grandfather, Jack "Jo-Jo" Jackson, is still considered by many as one of the greatest pilots Starfleet has seen. In fact, until | |||
recently, he still held every Academy cadet pilot record, irrespective of craft type. Kieren's grandmother, Mary Jackson-Smith, was | |||
a member of the negotiation team which sealed the treaty between the Federation and Klingon Empire. His father, Phil Jackson, | |||
achieved the rank of Admiral before his retirement from Starfleet and is held in high esteem by all who knew him. | |||
Many notice the unusual middle name Kieren bears, and it is a tribute to his mother and her ancestry. Martha is Bajoran and a | |||
strong empath. She has played an important role in Federation politics, and her empathic abilities have played an important part in her efforts. | |||
- | She has also managed this whilst also raising a large family. Few of her children have shown any indication of possessing her gift, | ||
except for Keiren who displays moderate empathic abilities. | |||

STARFLEET HISTORY | |||
With the long tradition of military service running through the family, as well as the high involvement amongst his siblings, it seemed | |||
inevitable that Kieren would find his way to military service. He originally joined the Air Force, proving himself to be a highly talented | |||
junior pilot. His talent was noted by the powers that be, and he was recruited by Starfleet from the Air Force junior program. At the | |||
Academy, he adapted quickly to flying spacecraft and was, in no time, eclipsing the records which had been held by his great grandfather. | |||
Whilst he loves flying, it was not Flight Control that captured his attention. As he has grown up, his empathic abilities have strengthened | |||
and he has always enjoyed supporting and encouraging people. He found he had a natural flair and enthusiasm for counselling whilst | |||
studying at the Academy, and as his studies progressed, more and more he found himself drawn to Counselling. He loves being able to support | |||
others, and explore the joys and challenges before others, and has excelled as he has progressed throughout the Academy. | |||
The strong military history in Keiren's family also ensures that he is comfortable around not only all manner of craft, but also all manner of | |||
weapons. His older brother Jim has been his hero and mentor growing up, and his passion for weaponry rubbed off. Not surprisingly, | |||
his minor at the Academy was security, and he is quite adept when it comes to handling most weaponry. | |||
PERSONALITY | |||
Having grown up in a large family, Kieren is used to coping with lots of people and pressure situations. In fact, he thrives under pressure, | |||
and loves being around people. He has self confidence, stemming from his time as a pilot, which at times has been misinterpreted as | |||
arrogance or overconfidence. However, as his studies have tended toward Counselling, this over confidence has mellowed to a quiet assurance | |||
and confidence. Kieren knows his limitations, and often pushes himself to them, but does so in the knowledge that he knows when to | |||
back off. Having grown up with tradition and expectation, he himself has high expectations, particularly of himself. But, whilst having high | |||
expectations, he is at the same time friendly, charming and just. This is most likely due to his inheritance of both his parents' | |||
diplomatic traits coupled with his empathic abilities. Thus, he considers every angle and judges a situation or person on their merits. | |||
Kieren has a strong sense of loyalty and is also very trusting. It takes people time to earn his trust and loyalty, but he regards | |||
both traits as amongst the most important traits of human nature and will be unbending in his support when they are involved. | |||
Kieren is a highly accomplished young man, who works hard and plays hard. At the same time, he is friendly, eager and approachable, possessing | |||
a nautral charm and wit which puts all at ease. He is highly regarded by all who meet him and adept at relating to anyone, be they | |||
a Fleet Admiral or a janitor. | |||
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE | |||
Author: Dr Theodore Huxtable, Resident Psychologist, Starfleet Academy | |||
Cadet Jackson's empathic abilities were uncovered during his teenage years, detected with the onset of puberty and have been monitored | |||
since first detected. They have strengthened considerably over time, and his control and understanding of these abilities have been a | |||
testament to his hard work during his time as a cadet here at the Academy. He will undoubtedly be an oustanding addition to any crew, | |||
being able to draw on not only his own empathic abilities but also the huge array of experiences that growing up in a large family | |||
with | |||
strong historical roots. Cadet Jackson is a well rounded, balanced individual who has much to offer to the role of Counsellor in any | |||
assignment. | |||
