Background Summary

Melabra is one of those worlds that might be legitimately called a
'wretched hive of scum and villainy'. Technically within the
Federation, but located in such a galactic backwater that it has
few visitors, it is known within that sector as a 'Sin City', and
occasionally as a base for pirates.

Kelira was the jewel of the Gold Star Club...in which the dancers
often offered other services to patrons. The jewel because she was
Orion...and the de facto madam, the male owners of the club would do
her very bidding. Until, that is, she got pregnant...and died
birthing a son.

In her absence, the Gold Star went from a place where the dancers
were treated as valued employees to one in which they were little
more than slaves. Timon, Kelira's son, was also treated as...a slave.
The owners hoped that he would grow up into a big, intimidating man
who could be used in security, but for right now, he was a child.
Property, and educated only a minimum amount, but mostly left to his
own devices.

Then, when Timon was ten, the Gold Star burned to the ground. Quite a
few of the girls were killed. The owner was also killed...and there was
some indication it wasn't by the fire. Either way, Timon was left on
the streets and on his own. He had long resorted to begging and petty
thievery, and to running whatever errands he could persuade somebody to
pay him for. He used this to survive.

Until the ship came. Melabra was still Federation...albeit forgotten and
neglected much of the time. When somebody decided to do something about
it, they sent the destroyer, the USS Colin Powell, to check on what was
going on. It's commanding officer was Commander Jason St. Lawrence.

Melabra had atmospheric anomalies that interfered with transporters. And
suddenly, St. Lawrence found himself faced with an odd problem. A stowaway.
At first he thought the boy was about fourteen, but he rapidly adjusted
Timon's age downward on talking to him. Eleven or twelve, Orion human
hybrid, no place to go. Melabra itself would have to wait...and the
Federation would force no solutions on it. This boy he could help.

Not himself, mind. Jason was thirty-three and married to his ship, like so
many Captains, and a destroyer was no place for a ship. But he had an older
brother, Charles, who lived on the agricultural colony of New Hope, with
his wife. They were childless, and quite willing to take Timon on.

So, the street kid from Melabra became a farm kid on New Hope. He was
formally adopted some months later...but the adjustment was not easy.
Civilizing him was an uphill struggle...complicated by the fact that six
months after Timon arrived, Tanya St. Lawrence, against all the odds...got
pregnant. In addition to learning a culture, Timon had to learn another
new role: Big brother.

He was smart, though. Smart enough to rapidly learn that three square meals
and a reliable roof that did not leak was worth what they asked of him. And
once he had learned to read, the galaxy opened up to him. If he hadn't been
smart, he wouldn't have survived. Now he began to apply that to learning
about the wider universe. His life was not easy. New Hope was not the most
cosmopolitan of planets and he was the only non-human in his class. His skin
color attracted negative attention, and his size...he seemed to have picked
up the size of an Orion male in full measure...made people assume he would
be a 'jock'. In fact, he even was on the high school team as a defensive
lineman.

Yet, he did not want to be a farmer. Aria, his sister was the one who loved
the land, and besides, she was born to it. He was quite happy to say that she
should get the farm when the time came, but that left the question of what he
should do. He wanted to go to college...but not on New Hope. He wanted to go
somewhere where he would meet different people. The St. Lawrence's were well
off...but not that well off. It was, of course, his uncle, Jason, who made
the suggestion. Why didn't he consider StarFleet?

And he considered it. Plenty of chance to meet different people, if he got in,
it would be decent money, reliable if he didn't screw up. At the back of his
head, too...fleet people made a difference.

It took him two attempts to pass the academy entrance exam, but that was not
uncommon. The aptitude tests revealed surprisingly good reflexes for such a
big man, and he went in on a security MOS...his size, once more, pigeonholing
him, but this time he didn't mind.

He did reasonably well in the academy. Not close to the top of his class, but
above average. His reputation, though, was of a man who was 'More StarFleet
than StarFleet', compensating for the reactions some had by trying to be the
perfect cadet and the perfect officer. His instructors knew this attitude
would survive about one mission in the field, but could do little to persuade
him of the fact. He would have to learn it, as others had, the hard way. His
cadet cruise did help a little, but then he graduated.

He was assigned to the light cruiser Ariadne in the security department, under
a tough but fair woman named Charlene Hall. She taught him to stop seeing
things in such black and white. And regular reminders that size was not
everything, the petite Lieutenant regularly dropping him to the mat in spars.
He came to respect her...and to understand that sometimes one had to be a
maverick to get things done. When she was transferred...to a station ops
position...she recommended him as security chief in her stead.

He took the position, and a promotion, and proceeded to do his best to be
twice as good as anyone else in the position. Charlene had never held his
past against him, but some did. Even the Ariadne's Captain, John Jameson,
was unsure about the man, although he never let his feelings affect St.
Lawrence's reviews. Timon flourished, in other words, yet he found himself
less and less happy.

He was still being viewed as a big, not overly bright man. The fact that he
resembled nothing so much as a Syndicate thug colored people's opinions of
him. He set out to change this. First, by obtaining a Masters degree in
military history by correspondence. Second, by taking, and passing the
command tests. Which is why when the Ariadne's XO was killed in action...
Jameson promoted the operations officer to XO and, despite his prejudices,
his chief of security to ops.

The taste of command was enough. Timon had a new goal in life. His own ship.
Not that he would push. But he would be good enough, he resolved, to earn his
command in due time. Hopefully without anyone else having to die for him to
get there. Sometimes, though, we don't get what we want.

Timon left the Ariadne for the Furious seven years ago. It was a promotion...
to executive officer. And the atmosphere was very different. The Furious was
commanded by T'Ler. A Vulcan woman. She did not try to run the ship under full
Vulcan command protocols. Yet, she was still Vulcan. Utterly logical, a firm
believer in IDIC. They made a surprisingly good team. Good enough that Timon
was in no rush to leave. Although he had not given up on his own ship.
Besides, there was another complication.

Her name was Nikita Lennon. She was the Furious' Counselor, and the two fell
very deeply in love. Two years ago, they were married. Now any assignment he
took...would have to include her. He was the happiest he had ever been in his
life.

Fate was against him.

The Furious was a warship, plain and simple. She went into dangerous places,
she got into and out of scrapes. T'Ler got out of scrapes sometimes by force,
often by diplomacy and the cool application of logic. Few Vulcans command
warships, but she did so and did so well. Until she made a bad, very bad mistake.

The Furious also did first contact missions. Especially ones that had a chance
of going wrong. The one with the Le'rkat went very wrong indeed. Renegade
Klingons had been supplying them with arms and warp drive. They found themselves
facing the same tactic, ironically, the Vulcans had used against the Orions
many, many years ago...tiny, fast ships that swarmed the Furious. T'Ler had
tried everything to stop them from attacking. Yet she had inadvertently also
offered insult.

The Furious had had its shields down. Timon had not been on the bridge, but on
his way there when they had concentrated fire on the upper part of the saucer.
The bridge and several other compartments were vented to space. Captain T'Ler
was killed instantly. Timon managed to get to the auxiliary bridge. He took
command of the half-crippled ship, managed to destroy many of the Le'rkat
fighters and get out of the system...and limp to the nearest starbase at warp 1.

Nikita St. Lawrence had been on the bridge...three months pregnant with their
first child. When Timon found out, he smashed what was left of his quarters...
and then spoke to nobody for the rest of the way home. In that quiet solitude,
he vented his grief...and recovered his sanity.

The Furious was an older ship, and the damage she had taken was extreme. Star
Fleet elected to decommission her and replace her rather than repair and refit.
Timon was given three months of shore leave...which he spent with his wife's
family. On his recall, he was given the Furious' commissioning plaque as her
last commander, even if it had only been for a few weeks...and then marching
orders to Starbase Beta for reassignment.

Skills Profile:

Timon started his StarFleet career in security. He is also a qualified pilot,
both of small craft and full-sized starships. In addition, he holds an MA in
military history, obtained by correspondence from the University of Michigan.
He speaks a number of languages to some degree, and is fluent in both Orion and
Vulcan. He is a more than competent hand to hand fighter...not merely a brawler,
but familiar with martial arts techniques. His diplomatic skills are solid,
although he tends towards techniques that rely somewhat on intimidation; he is
not above using his size and appearance to his and StarFleet's advantage. As a
qualified command officer, he has some familiarity with the basics of other
departments. However, he does not have a great amount of scientific knowledge,
tending to defer to others in that regard.

Fitness Report:

It is my judgement that Commander St. Lawrence has made close to a full recovery
from the events of the Furious incident; however, I still recommend some continued
counseling. He is, however, fit for duty and command. He has always been a solid
officer, although he can sometimes interpret StarFleet regulations a little bit
too strictly at times.

He has, thankfully, a healthy attitude towards his own mental health; he is not
above letting out his feelings, but always in a controlled manner...he makes much
use of the holodeck in this regard. He expects respect from those under him, but
he gives it in return. He is not always a likeable man, but he never treats
anyone wrongly or unfairly. He can, however, be a little defensive when he feels
he is being viewed either as primarily his race or his size.

Psychological Profile:

Timon St. Lawrence is one of those big men who knows full well how much control
he has to keep over his negative emotions. Although he has a temper, it takes
extreme circumstances for it to come out in public; although he enjoys a fight
at times, he is careful to restrict this to the holodeck or to people who he
knows share such enjoyment. A lot of the time, he comes over at least as gentle
but firm. He is strict but fair with underlings, always showing respect to
those above him unless they do something not to deserve it.

He is an honest man to a fault...that is to say, he can sometimes be blunt. He
is also far more inclined to give his opinions of others to their face than
gossip about them behind their back. He respects more somebody who defends him
or herself, than somebody who takes bad things said about them as read.

He is utterly tolerant, and expects utter tolerance. Bigotry of any kind is one
of the few things that will get him riled, and he has a record of delivering
very scathing lectures to officers who express negative opinions about others
based on 'Those things, none of us can help' as he himself would say. This is
probably due to the teasing he received in school because of his accent (mostly
gone), skin color and size. He can, in fact, be somewhat defensive when comments
about those factors are made.

Although he is very definitely a military man, he tries to live by the philosophy
of 'Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent'. Fighting (With the exception
of recreational sparring) is what you do when all else fails. He can, in fact, be
very nice, especially to people he genuinely likes or has to work with closely.
His diplomacy is a rough and ready sort, but it is there.

Recreational Interests

Timon is a physical man when it comes to his pursuits. He does enjoy fighting...in
the sense of a nice, controlled brawl with somebody who shares the same interest.
As a result, some of his closest friends over the years have been Klingons. He is
also something of an outdoorsman...he enjoys hiking, orienteering and mountain
climbing. Especially with a friend or two...he considers a strenuous hike to be a
great way to get to know somebody.

Miscellaneous Information

This is, yes, the character I and Scott discussed. He's got a bit of a...different
background, but tends to *not* be a maverick...he tends, if anything, to over-react
and go the other way. His age may be adjusted...seeking opinions.

2419 : Reassigned to Orestes Station as Senior Communications Analysist for Operations

B. Background Summary:
-----------------------

Born the Middle child and only daughter to Logan and Ilane Gates
Rourke. Alexa grew up amid two brothers, in a somewhat sheltered home
life on Venus. Logan was a abrasive and sometimes cocky pilot assigned
to Space Station Berbar 7, near the Klingon border, when he met his
wife. Ilane Gates was traveling through the station, on her way back
to Earth, after a extended conference for the company that she worked.
After the wedding, the family settled on Earth until Kyle was born,
then they moved to Venus when Logan was offered a position at a
Starbase colony in New Vienna, Paladin Provence, Venus.

Lent to being tom-boyish, despite the Orion in her blood, Alexa worked
hard to prove herself with her rough brothers as she grew up. When she
graduated from Albertina High School she decided a career in Starfleet
was her calling and she enlisted. Her Father understood and
appreciated her choice, her Mother worried and tried to object as
often as she could about the matter.

Upon completion of SF Academy, she pondered and eventually chose
communications as her field of interest. Embarking upon this stage of
her life, regardless of the continuation of her Mother's objections,
the young woman found that she had a knack for the field. Embracing
the needed skills as a linguist and communications officer. She worked
hard and enrolled in the proper courses that set her on her chosen
path.

During her final year at the academy, 2410, Alexa tossed herself
unrelentlessly into her work, doing codebreaking and decrypting work
for the USS Kyrenia.

During her tenure on the Kyrenia, Alexa's work became her life, as her
unrelenting ethic, wore her down and she found intergrating into life
at Starfleet difficult, there were some incidences, that she
eventually left behind her. Still the results of those situations
remain on her record.

The middle of 2416, Alexa decided to take a LOA from Starfleet, she
spent the time on Earth focusing on her future and taking additional
classes in Communications. When the time came, Alexa returned to
Starfleet, ready to work.

Her new assignment was the USS Navicula, under the direction of
Captain Jacob Sterling, the young woman would serve as a Junior
Communication Analysist. Here, Alexa continued to work hard and while
she did have a distant tone in her general personality, she still
could manage a friendly exterior most of the time. l Donovan from her
life, she used it to do her best, to make that extra effort. Alexia
would go on to  prove her worth in several combat situations while on
the Navicula and she become a remarkable officer, determined to rise
up in the ranks.

----------------------------------------------------------
V. Skills Profile
------------------

Despite her abilities as a communications tech. Alexa should not to be
considered 'support' personnel. She has shown great courage in the line of
duty and has shown a full grasp of small-unit tactics and leadership
potential.

----------------------------------------------------------
VI. Recent Fitness Report
--------------------------

Alexa is well suited to her current position, respected and moreover
actually liked by her subordinates, she has demonstrated excellent
people handling skills as well as her combat abilities and placed a
rocky lifestyle behind her.

----------------------------------------------------------
VII. Psychological Profile
---------------------------

Alexa has struggled with intergrating into Starfleet, overall though
she is a fairly well balanced officer. In the past she has had some
issues with authority. She seems to have put that behind her though
and I have faith that she can and will  serve with dignity and pride
on any ship she serves on.

----------------------------------------------------------

appreciated her choice, her Mother worried and tried to object as
often as she could about the matter.

Upon completion of SF Academy, she pondered and eventually chose
communications as her field of interest. Embarking upon this stage of
her life, regardless of the continuation of her Mother's objections,
the young woman found that she had a knack for the field. Embracing
the needed skills as a linguist and communications officer. She worked
hard and enrolled in the proper courses that set her on her chosen
path.

During her final year at the academy, 2410, Alexa met fellow cadet
Paul Donavan. The pair both were heavily into the field of
Communications majors and after graduation, but before they took the
final leg of their training for Starfleet assignments, they took an
impulsive turn and married.

After leaving the last year of training behind, Alexa tossed herself
unrelentlessly into her work, doing codebreaking and decrypting work
for the USS Kyrenia. While Paul was shipped off to the Romulan border
on the USS Vance.

Their time together would be short-lived, as less than a year later,
Paul would be killed by a rougue Romulan faction during an away
mission. Alexa took this in stride and continued though. Hiding her
grief in her work, by presenting even more distinguished service to
her ship, she tossed herself so fully into the assignments; nothing
else mattered to her. Her work became her life.

This unrelenting ethic, resulted in a call from Starfleet Intel, her
work had caught their interest. She was recalled and enrolled in SFI
school for the next three years. There, additional training was given
and by the time she graduated she was ready to take on the challenges
that being a SFIA granted.

Upon completion of this a new assignment awaited for her. The USS
Navicula, under the direction of Captain Jacob Sterling, the young
woman would serve as a Junior Communication Analysist. Alexa strove to
keep herself distant from most people, yet maintained a friendly
exterior. Still she had not forgotten the loss of Paul Donovan from
her life, she used it to do her best, to make that extra effort.
Alexia would go on to  prove her worth in several combat situations
while on the Navicula and she become a remarkable officer, determined
to rise up in the ranks.

B. Background Summary:
-----------------------

Born the Middle child and only daughter to Logan and Ilane Gates
Rourke. Alexa grew up amid two brothers, in a somewhat sheltered home
life on Venus. Logan was a abrasive and sometimes cocky pilot assigned
to Space Station Berbar 7, near the Klingon border, when he met his
wife. Ilane Gates was traveling through the station, on her way back
to Earth, after a extended conference for the company that she worked.
After the wedding, the family settled on Earth until Kyle was born,
then they moved to Venus when Logan was offered a position at a
Starbase colony in New Vienna, Venus.

Lent to being tom-boyish, despite the Orion in her blood, Alexa worked
hard to prove herself with her rough brothers as she grew up. When she
graduated from Albertina High School she decided a career in Starfleet
was her calling and she enlisted. Her Father understood and
appreciated her choice, her Mother worried and tried to object as
often as she could about the matter.

Upon completion of SF Academy, she pondered and eventually chose
communications as her field of interest. Embarking upon this stage of
her life, regardless of the continuation of her Mother's objections,
the young woman found that she had a knack for the field. Embracing
the needed skills as a linguist and communications officer. She worked
hard and enrolled in the proper courses that set her on her chosen
path.

During her final year at the academy, 2410, Alexa tossed herself
unrelentlessly into her work, doing codebreaking and decrypting work
for the USS Kyrenia.

During her tenure on the Kyrenia, Alexa's work became her life, as her
unrelenting ethic, wore her down and she found intergrating into life
at Starfleet difficult, there were some incidences, that she
eventually left behind her. Still the results of those situations
remain on her record.

The middle of 2416, Alexa decided to take a LOA from Starfleet, she
spent the time on Earth focusing on her future and taking additional
classes in Communications. When the time came, Alexa returned to
Starfleet, ready to work.

Her new assignment was the USS Navicula, under the direction of
Captain Jacob Sterling, the young woman would serve as a Junior
Communication Analysist. Here, Alexa continued to work hard and while
she did have a distant tone in her general personality, she still
could manage a friendly exterior most of the time. l Donovan from her
life, she used it to do her best, to make that extra effort. Alexia
would go on to  prove her worth in several combat situations while on
the Navicula and she become a remarkable officer, determined to rise
up in the ranks.

III. Biographical Notes

===========

A. Chronology (tabular form):

0-7: Born in Barrow, Alaska 7-12: Homeschool in Barrow, Alaska 12-18; Attended Fairbanks Military Academy 18-22: Attended Star Fleet Academy. 23-Present: Active duty in Star Fleet.

B. Background Summary:

Richard Bennet Ra'tleihfi tr'Llweii (Nveid ) was born to parents David and Sienae Bennet Ra'tleihfi tr'Llweii in Barrow Alaska. His father, David Bennet, a full human was an Ambassador for Starfleet who was assigned in Barrow Alaska. His mother, Siene, a Romulan, was a homemaker who homeschooled her children until they were twelve years old. Then he and his siblings attended Fairbanks Academy. From the time he was born his mother spoke three languages to her children, English, Romulan (Rihannsu or Sav'lesta and Rom'lesta or Havrannsu) and Vulcan.

His mother came from Noble House of Llweii. The family spoke predominant Rihannsu but spoke Rom'lesta as well as it is the langauge of the people, and is spoken by the majority of the Romulan people, and in particular by the natives of Ch'Havran.

In a Romulan family both mother and father have equal status both in the family and society. Although Richard as a male child was favored, his sisters were not considered second class citizens. The lessons of mnhei'sahe were taught and learned properly from birth.

The formal education of Richard and his siblings was done under the strict auspices of a highly-learned tutor. They recieved basic education in the sciences, the arts, literature, and mandatory military service. They were tutored in the proper forms of address for adults, equals, superiors and servants. Most of all important concepts of honor, respect, duty, strength, service to the Federation and the Empire.

Over the millenium since the Rihannsu split from the Vulcans, the circadian rhythm of ch'Rihan and ch'Havran have changed the 7-year cycle. Richard, Rihannsu males, no longer endured Ponn Farr.

When Richard was Twelve he was sent to Fairbanks Military Academy. He exccelled in his academics and graduated with honors. Then he joined Starfleet Academy just like his father. Once again he brought pride and honor to the family.

He met and fell in love with Lorelai Matthews on his tour of duty on USS TEMPEST. The couples d'anna - marriage - known as the 'Great Joining' was performed by the Captain of the TEMPEST.

They honeymooned on Rom'lasz - known to the Federation as Romulus the planet known as 'Home of the People' of Cf ch'Rihan where Richard's hru'diranov -grandfather and hru'nanov- grandmother and as well as the rest of his mothers clan reside in the Noble House of Llweii.

Normally When a man takes a wife, he also takes her name and becomes a member of her house, sworn to uphold it against all enemies. The only exception to this scenario is if the wife has no family. In that case SHE would take the husband’s name and join his family. In Lorelai case she was human and an orphan and therefore she took Richard's name and joined his family.

The Rihannsu are a passionate and close-knit people. Marriages are forever and are not entered into without serious consideration. There is no word for divorce in the Rihannsu Language.

Divorce and separation are extremely uncommon within Rihannsu families because the bond between the husband and wife is so very deep that the possibility of divorce and separation never enters their minds. A typical Rihannsu family is very happy and devoted to each other, united by the common bond of love and commitment.

After their first year of marriage the couple had twin daughters Keelie and Kaylani. They had now become a family much to everyone delight. Becoming a husband and father changed Richard into the man he became. It was no longer about the rise in position and becoming a Captain, instead it became more about family and peace.

When Richard was offered the XO position on SB Orestes, he didn't have to think twice about bring his growing family. This was more than he could have hoped for. To raisie a family on a Starbase would give his family more stability as well as bring him closer to his clan men and if he could help make a difference that would the icing on the cake.

2419 : Reassigned to Orestes Station as Senior Communications Analysist for Operations

B. Background Summary:
-----------------------

Born the Middle child and only daughter to Logan and Ilane Gates
Rourke. Alexa grew up amid two brothers, in a somewhat sheltered home
life on Venus. Logan was a abrasive and sometimes cocky pilot assigned
to Space Station Berbar 7, near the Klingon border, when he met his
wife. Ilane Gates was traveling through the station, on her way back
to Earth, after a extended conference for the company that she worked.
After the wedding, the family settled on Earth until Kyle was born,
then they moved to Venus when Logan was offered a position at a
Starbase colony in New Vienna, Paladin Provence, Venus.

Lent to being tom-boyish, despite the Orion in her blood, Alexa worked
hard to prove herself with her rough brothers as she grew up. When she
graduated from Albertina High School she decided a career in Starfleet
was her calling and she enlisted. Her Father understood and
appreciated her choice, her Mother worried and tried to object as
often as she could about the matter.

Upon completion of SF Academy, she pondered and eventually chose
communications as her field of interest. Embarking upon this stage of
her life, regardless of the continuation of her Mother's objections,
the young woman found that she had a knack for the field. Embracing
the needed skills as a linguist and communications officer. She worked
hard and enrolled in the proper courses that set her on her chosen
path.

During her final year at the academy, 2410, Alexa tossed herself
unrelentlessly into her work, doing codebreaking and decrypting work
for the USS Kyrenia.

During her tenure on the Kyrenia, Alexa's work became her life, as her
unrelenting ethic, wore her down and she found intergrating into life
at Starfleet difficult, there were some incidences, that she
eventually left behind her. Still the results of those situations
remain on her record.

The middle of 2416, Alexa decided to take a LOA from Starfleet, she
spent the time on Earth focusing on her future and taking additional
classes in Communications. When the time came, Alexa returned to
Starfleet, ready to work.

Her new assignment was the USS Navicula, under the direction of
Captain Jacob Sterling, the young woman would serve as a Junior
Communication Analysist. Here, Alexa continued to work hard and while
she did have a distant tone in her general personality, she still
could manage a friendly exterior most of the time. l Donovan from her
life, she used it to do her best, to make that extra effort. Alexia
would go on to  prove her worth in several combat situations while on
the Navicula and she become a remarkable officer, determined to rise
up in the ranks.

B. Background Summary:
-----------------------

Born the Middle child and only daughter to Logan and Ilane Gates
Rourke. Alexa grew up amid two brothers, in a somewhat sheltered home
life on Venus. Logan was a abrasive and sometimes cocky pilot assigned
to Space Station Berbar 7, near the Klingon border, when he met his

Lent to being tom-boyish, despite the Orion in her blood, Alexa worked

the young woman found that she had a knack for the field. Embracing
the needed skills as a linguist and communications officer. She worked
hard and enrolled in the proper courses that set her on her chosen
path.

During her final year at the academy, 2410, Alexa met fellow cadet
Paul Donavan. The pair both were heavily into the field of
Communications majors and after graduation, but before they took the
final leg of their training for Starfleet assignments, they took an
impulsive turn and married.

After leaving the last year of training behind, Alexa tossed herself
unrelentlessly into her work, doing codebreaking and decrypting work
for the USS Kyrenia. While Paul was shipped off to the Romulan border
on the USS Vance.

Their time together would be short-lived, as less than a year later,
Paul would be killed by a rougue Romulan faction during an away
mission. Alexa took this in stride and continued though. Hiding her
grief in her work, by presenting even more distinguished service to
her ship, she tossed herself so fully into the assignments; nothing
else mattered to her. Her work became her life.

This unrelenting ethic, resulted in a call from Starfleet Intel, her
work had caught their interest. She was recalled and enrolled in SFI
school for the next three years. There, additional training was given
and by the time she graduated she was ready to take on the challenges
that being a SFIA granted.

Upon completion of this a new assignment awaited for her. The USS
Navicula, under the direction of Captain Jacob Sterling, the young
woman would serve as a Junior Communication Analysist. Alexa strove to
keep herself distant from most people, yet maintained a friendly
exterior. Still she had not forgotten the loss of Paul Donovan from
her life, she used it to do her best, to make that extra effort.
Alexia would go on to  prove her worth in several combat situations
while on the Navicula and she become a remarkable officer, determined
to rise up in the ranks.

------------------

Despite her abilities as a communications tech. Alexa should not to be
considered 'support' personnel. She has shown great courage in the line of
duty and has shown a full grasp of small-unit tactics and leadership

----------------------------------------------------------
VII. Psychological Profile
---------------------------

Alexa has struggled with her Orion background on occasion, overall
though she does strike me as a well rounded individual with no serious
hang-ups that impede her missions nor her mindset. Although, I will
say that Ms Rourke has shown more than a detatched response to her
husbands death.

She has proven herself to be an asset to her teams on many occasions
and would serve with the same robust drive in any situation.

exterior. Still she had not forgotten the loss of Paul Donovan from
her life, she used it to do her best, to make that extra effort.
Alexia would go on to  prove her worth in several combat situations
while on the Navicula and she become a remarkable officer, determined
to rise up in the ranks.

V. Skills Profile
------------------

Despite her abilities as a communications tech. Alexa should not to be
considered 'support' personnel. She has shown great courage in the line of
duty and has shown a full grasp of small-unit tactics and leadership
potential.

Her skills are formidable as are her leadership abilities. Additional
Training she has received consist of Signal Intelligence Analysis,
Cryptologic Translation and Cryptologic Linguist (Klingon)

----------------------------------------------------------
VI. Recent Fitness Report
--------------------------

Alexa is well suited to her current position, respected and moreover
actually liked by her subordinates, she has demonstrated excellent
people handling skills as well as her combat abilities

----------------------------------------------------------
VII. Psychological Profile
---------------------------

Alexa has struggled with her Orion background on occasion, overall
though she does strike me as a well rounded individual with no serious
hang-ups that impede her missions nor her mindset. Although, I will
say that Ms Rourke has shown more than a detatched response to her
husbands death.

She has proven herself to be an asset to her teams on many occasions
and would serve with the same robust drive in any situation.

----------------------------------------------------------
VIII. Current Recreational Interests
-------------------------------------

Fencing, Weapons and Fighting Skills Training, Hiking, Opera and
Reading to name a few. She has also been caught playing a game or two
of poker with her fellow shipmates.

with OSFI would not be known or accessable. Any questions - let me
know. Thanks.
