Background Summary: Juliana Lorress grew up in Mount Olympus on the planet Mars, Sol system. Her mother is an hydrologist working for a smaller scale terraforming project on the red planet, while her father is a civilian administrator on the orbital Utopia Planitia shipyards. Juliana always had a keen interest in technology and since her father took her up to the shipyards as a kid, she was hooked. She wanted to be an engineer but not any kind but a Starfleet engineer. Her parents supported her wishes and encouraged her to engage in physical activity that would help her offset the penalties of being a native of a low-gravity world. After a one-year stint as an intern in the civilian engineering branch of Utopia Planitia, Juliana managed to be accepted into Starfleet Academy where she threw herself at her studies. During one particular lesson her interest in Cardassian technology was piqued, mostly because high-tech of that origin was held in contempt by most of her instructors. Juliana found it quite refreshing to work with less-than-perfect toys and soon she was known as the "Cardie" among her classmates. Her interest in martial arts brought her into contact with several security officers-to-be and she took advanced courses in that field, managing to qualify as a security crewman if only in the bottom half of her class in this case. However, her grades in engineering more than offset the average performance in security. Soon Juliana became fascinated by nanites and nano-mechanics with her graduation thesis being labeled "The use of nano-mechanical devices and robots in Starship diagnosis routines". She is still ashamed of an accident where she accidentally set nanites free in an Academy computer, not so much because of the reprisal but because she felt she screwed up. Skills Profile -------------- Juliana is a tinkerer at heart, fascinated by the nitty-gritty details of any problem, may it be mechanical, scientific or intellectual in nature. She knows how to take things apart and usually knows how to put them back together. In case these things are of Cardassian origin they sometimes work better afterwards than they did before. Unlike many engineers who specialize in propulsion systems, Juliana is in love with nano-technology and she's planning to take some medical classes to see how her knowledge of micro-mechanics can be applied in that area as well. Diagnosing a virus in a computer can't be that far from diagnosing it in a living body after all. Her only problem if it can be called one, is that Juliana is in awe with the possibilities and chances Starfleet has to offer. She often feels that she has to live up to some unachievable standard to be worthy of being called a Starfleet officer. Recent Fitness Report --------------------- Thanks to regular physical training Ensign Lorress is in excellent physical health and fit for duty without restrictions. While her very tall, slender frame is the result of genetic adaptation to the Martian environment she is in no way hampered by 1.0 g conditions. -- LT. Harn Axelrod M.D., Medical Officer Starfleet Academy Cadet Lorress is a dedicated worker with a feeling for technical problems. I do not claim to understand her fascination with cardassian technology but I have to admit that it taught her how to improvise under less than ideal conditions. My only concern is, that she should put more emphasize on the study of propulsion systems. Cadet Lorress has potential to eventually achieve a department head position but many captains still judge their Chief Engineer solely by their understanding of warp technology. -- CMDR Justine Mallor, Academy Instructor - Engineering Branch Cadet Lorress´ performance in security training is average to slightly below average. However, given the fact that she is first and foremost an engineer, this is neither unexpected nor a mark against her. My impression is that she got into security cross-training mainly because she enjoys a good workout and has several friends among the security specialists. Given her skill in unarmed combat techniques and her steady aim with a phaser so she can be of use as a security guard in emergency situations. If Cadet Lorress wishes to achieve a higher rank and position in our speciality, a major career change is clearly indicated however. -- LTCMR Zorn, Academy Instructor - Security Branch Psychological Profile --------------------- An ambitious, hard worker. Ensign Lorress will solve a problem set before her through sheer stubbornness if nothing else works. Off-duty she is outgoing and friendly, calm and helpful. On-duty she is very serious and professional, trying to be the more-than-perfect officer. It took me some effort to convince her that she did no have to adapt the rigid behaviour of a Marine to fullfilll the requirements of Starfleet. I was partially sucessful, although Cadet Lorress still reminds me of an iron rod more than anything else whenever she snaps to attention. This discrepancy between the private person and the officer tends to confuse others until they get to know Cadet Lorress a bit better. -- Counsellor Morvehl, Starfleet Academy Current Recreational Interests ------------------------------ Since her early youth Juliana turned to physical training to overcome the disadvantages associated with growing up on a low gravity world such as Mars. What started as mere necessity became genuine interest. She enjoys swimming, long-distance running and Aikido where she works towards her first black belt. When not physically active, she tinkers with all kinds of Cardassian technology she can get her hands on. E. Miscellaneous Information Thanks to her study of the Japanese martial art Aikido, Juliana has some basic knowledge of Japanese language, writing and culture. She has also a basic understanding of Cardassian language and writing as it relates to technical devices. ---------------------End Bio chip------------------------------------
