Decorations:
2377 – Awarded the Purple Heart for courage above and beyond the call of duty.

Background:
Sokket was born in 2346 on the Romii Plains, a small agricultural center. In early 2347, for going AWOL and dating his daughter, Custle murdered Sokket’s brother Arjkan. Sokket’s grandfather Evajed transferred Arjkan’s katra into Sokket’s young mind.

Sokket went on and excelled in Engineering, graduating second in his class from the Engineering division of the Romulan Star Academy. After graduation, he received a posting as a Lieutenant (eq. rank Lt. j.g.) and Chief Engineer aboard the Romulan Scout Ship K’korrivor.

In 2372, Sokket was injured in the line of duty in a battle with the Gorn. While injured, he still pushed the ship’s engines to the max, allowing them to outrun a Gorn cruiser and return to Romulan space with much needed intelligence. He received a promotion to Centurion (eq. rank Lt.). Over the 4 years as Chief Engineer aboard the K’korrivor grew very possessive of the ship, affectionately calling it his “baby”.

In 2374, Sokket witnessed the execution of his parents for being “Reunificationists”, Romulans advocating peace with the Federation, especially Vulcans. Days after their execution, the USS Hunter attacked and captured the K’korrivor, renaming it the Shadow. Sokket defected to the Federation so he could continue to work with the ship that he loved.

In 2376, Sokket met Kalana Aldis, and the two began a romantic relationship. In 2377 the crew of the USS Shadow stole a Aehallh vessel from the Romulan D’Traxus facility. Custle’s warbird destroyed the Shadow and critically injured Sokket. He spent the next few months recuperating.

Aboard the Phantom, Sokket met his Uncle Dr. Tavarra for the first time. Tavarra informed Sokket of his brother’s katra inside his body. Tavarra was then transferred to a camp for prisoners of war.

In 2379 Sokket was promoted to Commander and Executive Officer with the transfer of Commander Rhese. He decided to ask Dr. Aldis to marry him at the wedding celebration for Eric Millard and Elizabeth Loviath. Unfortunately, the wedding was attacked by the Dark Mane Society and the Phantom’s senior staff was taken captive. During an escape, Eric’s two sons William and Johnathon were killed, a tragedy that Sokket blames on himself.

Following the capture, Kalana was transferred to become the head of the Counseling department at Tortuga. They held a very tearful goodbye, ending their relationship.

Due to the incarceration on Ramandu, the loss of Kalana, and the ongoing abduction of Captain Harras, Arjkan’s katra has started to become more active, taking over Sokket’s mind in moments of extreme feeling.

Counsellor’s Notes:
Sokket is prone to mood swings, going from a calm controlled sensitive man to an angry, passionate near madman in a matter of seconds. He has many ghosts and pains in his life, which he seems to control usually

I suggest further counseling sessions to fully understand what is afflicting him.

Lt. j.g. Leearia Frios
Chief Counselor

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.

2379-Present
Promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and reassigned as the Chief Engineer aboard the USS Phantom.

Decorations:
2377 – Awarded the Delta Star for exemplary performance against unfavourable odds.

Background:
Born on Q’onoS in 2345, Draken lead a standard life of the times. Growing up hearing great stories of Klingon honor and the virtue of his elders, he was the apple of his House’s eye, and rightfully trained as quickly as possible in the ways of the warrior.

This was all shattered in 2350, when at the age of five, a Terran Diplomat from Starfleet, one Nicholas Karwinston, was brought to stay in their home during negotiations as an act of favor from the Klingon High Council on their house.

Quickly taking a liking to the quick witted and broad grinned young man, Draken would sit with him for hours, and listen to whatever stories or histories he would share. These quickly became objects of obsession to Draken, and he absorbed whatever information he could on the early cultures of the world, especially those of the various Pagan religions, the Celts, Romans, and Egyptians being his favorites.

Adopting a version of such religions, Draken drifted away from his Klingon roots, and began spending much more time in the presence of the many other species that visited the High Council for any number of reasons. Yet finally, the one thing that finally broke him away from his House as a whole, was that of meeting the Legendary Worf, Son of Mogh.

Sneaking aboard a Federation freighter, he made his way to New San Francisco, but mainly, the Academy. Once there, he passed the entrance exams with ease, and majored in History of the Federation, Advanced Helm Control and Stellar Cartography.

For his advanced work in Piloting, and outstanding scores in every field of such, he was chosen as a handful of students to partake in a post-Academy course of specialized piloting. The course lasted roughly two years, and greatly increased his skill with both capital ships, mainly the Galaxy-Class and the Intrepid-Class, and all of the currently commissioned class of shuttle, focusing mainly on the Type 9 and Peregrine classes.

He was soon after assigned to the San Francisco shipyards, and was eventually given a more active role assigned to the USS Wraith as a helmsmen. Finally, in 2373 he was reassigned to the New Terra Colony as a transport pilot, probably not the best job for a Klingon, even one that loved philosophy. Thus, after two years of such a boring task, he was again re-assigned – to the mysterious USS Shadow.

Counsellor’s Notes:
Although still subject to the typical Klingon mood swings and just outright crankiness, Draken is far from the typical Klingon. He loves a good joke and is willing to let his own pride be hurt if it will get a laugh out of someone. He is naturally curious with an incredible hunger for any type of knowledge.
