Her father was a doctor, her mother was in the military. She took an interest in both of her parents trades, but dreams of exploring the galaxy made her sign up for Starfleet. After serving on a Starfleet Heavy Cruiser during the Dominion Wars, she applied for the position of Chief Tactical Officer on the mission into the Gamma Quadrant. Thanks to her experience in the wars, she was considered for and eventually awarded with the commission. <br>

				<div class="floatright">(http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/3046/a01b.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Tisha<br><strong>Age:</strong> 8 months<br><strong>Race:</strong> Hologram<br><strong>Role/Rank:</strong> Auxillary Security Hologram<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Focused and driven, cool and logical but with a somewhat serene sense about her that is difficult to define.<br><strong>Background:</strong><br><br>Tisha was originally designed as an Auxillary Security Hologram.&nbsp; After Voyager returned and the mobile emitter was codified, the Federation would be able to stop the flagrant loss of life by anyone wearing a red shirt through the simple process of sending a hologram instead.&nbsp; Such holograms' phasers would by default only work at the Stun setting, but a command from a superior officer would allow them to switch to Full Effect.&nbsp; The only true way to disable the A.S.H. is to destroy the mobile emitter, and the ship's computer retains all information about the hologram.&nbsp; More emitters can always be made, even if human life is not so easily replaced.<br><br>Not everyone liked the models, but one woman, an Admiral Hackinsworth, developed a passing fondness for her bodyguard.&nbsp; During her spare time in the holodeck, she wrote up a number of additions to the program, naming her Tisha and spending a lot of time at the beach.&nbsp; Although her high rank did not allow her many friends or lovers, her own companion made the tedium of Starfleet more bearable.<br><br>Although life and self-awareness are still tricky posits even in the 24th century, Tisha's "awakening" seemed to occur during Admiral Hackinsworth's assassination.&nbsp; Mistaking Tisha's shock and panic for a malfunction, she was shut down until Starfleet could take a better look to see what had occurred, and they pieced together the Admiral's secret.<br><br>Tisha has since been accorded the status of a sentient lifeform, and has expressed interest in continuing her aid to Starfleet.&nbsp; She has no interest in questions about the soul and similar metaphysical concepts, believing that she's not qualified of solving them and that they're a waste of processing power.&nbsp; A notable portion of her cognizance is often placed upon Admiral Hackinsworth, though it has never distracted her in her duties and she rarely takes on any acts similar to human mourning.&nbsp; Much of her capacity still seems to be growing, sending her on a route of self-discovery which may lead her anywhere.

				<div class="floatright">(http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp289/guardianangel98/fighter_by_des_henkers_braut-d3299le.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Angelo De Rica<br><strong>Age:</strong> 24<br><strong>Race:</strong> Human<br><strong>Role/Rank:</strong> Sergent (enlisted), authority of Xenobiology and general medicine<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Angelo is a very intelligent young man with an undying thrist for knowledge though hes a bit shy and has trouble getting close to people which often makes him struggle to find a place in any crew. Even though he has the drive and excellence to be an officer he takes pride in being a normal enlisted man, often noting that ships couldnt run without the everyday working soldier.<br><strong>Background:</strong>Antonio was born and grew up in Florence, Italy. His parents were both doctors and part of an inter galactic study group specializing in disease research. Early on Angelo took an interest in medicine, when he read the studies that his parents often left lying around their villa and it drove him to learn as much as he possibly could from every source of information he could find.<br><br>It wasnt long before everyone that knew him realized he was much smarter then the average person and after some testing Angelo was certified as a true genius. He flew through early education, graduating from elementary schooling by age eight, then high school by age twelve, and by age 16 he already had a doctorate in medicine. <br><br>A year later one of his papers would be read by the scientific community and he was approached by a reknowned Andorian Xenobiologist to assist in some work. Their meeting sealed Angelo's true calling as his studies of strange organisms gave him far more intellectual pursuits to look forward to. However it was clear that staying on earth didnt provide the same opportunities that space did so he enlisted in Star fleet as a rank and file medic. <br><br>Antonio served on the Kitsune, a Maelstorm class fleet escort ship patrolling the edge of federation space. He might have served as a nurse aboard the ship, that is if they hadnt come across a damaged vessel with alien life forms aboard that the federation had never seen before. Unfortunately the creatures assumed the Kitsune had hostile intentions and attacked, boarding the ship and imprisoning the crew. However Antonio managed to escape along with the chief medical officer and captain. With Antonio's experience in Xenobiology they were able to force the aggressors off the ship by releasing a gas that caused a severe allergic reaction. Antonio quickly flew up the ranks on the ship, moving to the rank of Sergent in just three years after the incident (a feat that normally took 5-6). <br><br>However three months ago the Kitsune was damaged beyond repair during an evacuation mission and the crew reassigned to various ships around the fleet. Over his 7 years in star fleet Antonio had earned some of the greatest medals and enlisted man could. Everything about his file said he was an overachiever and a hero so he became a hot commodity around the fleet.

				<div class="floatright">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/9c6677f5.jpg) </div><strong>Name:</strong> Kate Greylin<br><strong>Age:</strong> 24<br><strong>Race:</strong> Human<br><strong>Role/Rank:</strong> Security Officer/Ensign<br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br>Kate is a creature of whim, driven by a dangerous blend of passion, self-indulgence and curiosity rather than any understanding of rank or cause and effect. It’s a persona that would normally have her kicked off most ships but one which she hides under a practiced façade, a guise which exudes control and a willingness to listen even if the exact opposite is true.<br><strong>Background:</strong> <br>Kate’s file is littered with suspect but glowing recommendations, all from highly respected officers, as well as an admirable history which details her hand-to-hand expertise, skill with a rifle and her long line of serving family members. What her file omits however is the reason behind a peculiar string of intermittent reassignments as well as the “Psychology Report” which normally adorns each personnel document. Those who question Kate on the missing bits and pieces usually meet a brick wall as the lieutenant commander finds little pride in divulging the extent of her father’s meddling, an admiral within Starfleet. <br><br>Greylin’s latest posting was as an instructor in the Starfleet Academy where she taught a variety of martial arts from the physical, such as Tai Kwon Do, to the healing arts, such as yoga. This training was meant to assist officers with hand-to-hand, arrests, etc, as well as help them achieve a sense of balance and calm while under duress. Unfortunately, Kate’s disregard for protocol, lack of respect for other instructors and several instances of misconduct inevitably resulted in her dismissal from the academy. Since then Kate has been transferred aboard her first vessel.

Thus secret thoughts accessed to her typically only can be possible if she herself shares the same values or views on a topic. This also does take time, and deep readings something she has sworn not to perform unless at the Captains command.<br><br>When without an intention Empola is quiet literally "intentionless" and can be found standing still&nbsp; or sitting still for hours on end without moving, typically staring at the stars. Times she is asked to explain what she is doing is never a surprise for she can "feel" new perspectives or awareness on her, and would often reply with something like<br><br><em>"Strange that meditation and traces give you knowledge of feelings over thoughts, seems that everything is feelings made manifest not reasons .. " <br></em><br><br><hr><br><div align="center"><strong>Background:</strong><br></div><br>Empola is a star pupil of a new type of Psychics specifically designed to take up membership in positions of Starfleet.&nbsp; She has been told the ship is apparently equipped with a proto-type "PSY Fields module"&nbsp; that apparently may be able to permit her to be able to be used as a component of a long range "feeling/thought" scanner, or a perhaps as part of a ship-wide shield defense against entities that may assault the ship with psychic means.<br><br>These new "PSY fields Modules' are very new, and high brass don't hold much faith in them working (none really do) Still the ship being the first to have one installed. And even if none hold confidence that they will work. Empola does hope she will be useful regardless for many a&nbsp; negotiation has been aided by a Betaziods' suggestion to their captain.<br><br>Emploa is a specialist not a guest, nor does she have rank. She has no rights to give any commands, and no rights to have any of her requests seen to. Effectively she is a civilian on board the ship that can be requested to have her services used by whatever commanding officers deem fit.<br><br><hr><br><div align="center"><strong>Attire</strong><br></div><br>Empola is always found wearing a white body suit and matching boots. When cold she will don matching gloves and collarless-buttonless overcoat. Empola has a com badge that is silver and doesn't give the same privileges or abilities as gold com badges of true star-trek military staff have.<br><br>Emploa has requested a device from the science division which can neutralize her abilities in public.<br>

More lenient than most Captains, Vicky has a natural knack of being able to guess despite having little or no information on some subjects.<br><br>"Lucky Vicky" became a coin termed by high brass when her previous ship, an explorer vessel&nbsp; had a run-in with a Horogin hunting gang. Ship Records of her vessel weaving through the atmosphere of an unstable gas giant while two horrogin ships chased them is something most officers have seen personally&nbsp; or at least heard of.<br><br>So much electric discharges made sensors more or less ineffective and seemingly insane requests from her to her pilot to enter this gas cloud then another managed to find the horrogin ships struck by lightning enough times for their sensors to be offline long enough for her ship the "USS Elon" to make it back into a secret Federation Spaceport without being tracked or followed. <br><br>The horrogin are extremely advanced race of hunters, none believed the ship's stories until its black box was shown to those curious enough to check. <br><br>She has been on leave for about a year due to family issues<br><br><div align="center">(http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5hsdoBHjG1qmzcsgo1_500.gif)<br></div>
