Background:
Reena Harras was born on Betazed in 2332. At the age of 16 she entered the Betazoid Institute of Psychology under parental pressure. Just prior to entering her second year at the Institute she met Ros Myal, a Bajoran on his way back to Bajor. She was headstrong and stubborn and ran away with him to Bajor. Shortly after she fell pregnant with her first child, Indara.
Reena and Myal fought side by side in the Bajoran Resistance and then the Maquis, but following the death of Reena’s second child, Chalandra, Indara ran away. The same year (2362) her husband also died. She had no-where to turn and no-one to turn to. It was only when she left Bajor on a Starfleet Vessel and was consequently sponsored for entry into Starfleet Academy by a crew member that she re-discovered a purpose. She joined Starfleet Academy, graduating 9th in her class in 2366.
Reena Harras went on to be a published Science Officer – her originality and ingenuity standing her in good stead. After 2 years of superb research aboard the USS Galileo she was promoted to Lt jg. Following this, her career began to take off. She was promoted, published and requested for service on several ships from then on. During her tour of duty on the USS Adelphi her CO recognised her natural leadership abilities and on return from the mission he recommended her for entry into Starfleet Command School. She graduated with Merit and was consequently assigned to the USS Wraith, which shortly thereafter became stranded in the Delta Quadrant.
It wasn’t long before Reena had her first chance at command, all be it the poisoned chalice command – the USS Shadow. She commanded the small Romulan vessel until she and her crew captured the USS Phantom, which she continues to command.
Counsellor’s Notes:
Headstrong and outgoing with an astonishing ingenuity and originality of thought. Reena Harras is a dedicated Starfleet Officer with a natural talent for leadership. She is scientifically curious with a thirst for knowledge.
Unusually, even though Harras’ daughter, Lt Cmdr Ros Indara, is in Starfleet she does not wish contact with her. A standing request on her record is that she not be assigned to the same ship. Harras resisted assignment to the USS Wraith, but was eventually persuaded by the opportunity for scientific study.
