Place of Birth: Deep Space 4
Homeworld: Alpha Centauri IVDate of Birth: 2344
Sex (if applicable): Female
Height: 190cm
Weight: 65kgGeneral Appearance: Sa'Kera is a slim, very attractive young woman, for the most part looking like a normal Betazoid, but her Vulcan ears give away that part of her heritage. Her slender form tops out at just under two metres in height, and looks a little frail, but she is anything but. She has inherited the great strength and toughness of her Vulcan father. She has long auburn hair that is usually found tied back in a neat ponytail that stretches most of the way down her back. Her eyes are a deep brown colour, almost black. She has abright smile, that she can sometimes use to devestating effect on male crew members.
Specialist Skills:
Combat Skills:
Sa'Kera has been trained in the martial arts by her Vulcan father, who was deeply intrested in the old oriental human styles, so she has black belts in Judo, Karate, and Aikido. She also knows the vulcan nerve pinch. She can also use a phaser pretty well, but she is nowhere as proficient with it as she is in hand to hand combat.
Psionic Skills:
Sa'Kera has the full range of Psionic ability from both of her parents, so she knows the Vulcan Mind Meld, and is a strong projective and receptive Telepath/Empath.
Other Skills:
Some have joked that her ability with machines and devices of all sorts is an extension of her psionic powers. This is of course nonsense, she is just a highly capable engineer, a combination of the logic she gained from her father, and the intuitive leaps that she has learned to trust, in combination with her training.Personal Strengths:
Her logical outlook on life, tempered by her intuition. Her Psionic and engineering skills.Notable Weaknesses:
Somewhat naive.
A liking for tea that borders on addiction.
Personality Profile:
Sa'Kera is a happy individual and it shows. She is also something of a flirt, but nothing too outrageous.
When concentrating heavily on something, she has an unconcious tendancy to flip her ponytail over her shoulder and start tugging at it.General Background:
Sa'Kera was born 29 years ago on the Deep SPace 4 station to a Vulcan father and Betazoid mother. An unusual combination admittedly, but they were deeply in love, though her father would deny it. Soon after she was born, her mother bought her to Betazed, where she grew up, while her father continued on with his work as an analyst for Starfleet Intelligence. She had an intresting childhood, being exposed quiet heavily to the cultures of both Vulcan and Betazed, resulting in her being fluent in both languages, as well as Federation Standard. At 18 she decided to attend Starfleet Academy, and opted for an engineering specialisation in warp propulsion systems, with a background is all starship systems. Since then her life has been spent aboard one ship or another. Three years ago, she met and fell in love with a young human named Andrew Terrik, and her fell in love with her. Despite the fact that they are both assigned to different ships, they have conspired to take all their leaves together since then.
She now serves as Chief Engineer on USS Warspite, after a fairly meteroric rise through the ranks of Starfleet engineers based on her skill with ships systems.Service History:
2363-2368: Starfleet Academy
2368-2373: First Tour of Duty aboard USS Galatea
2373-Present: Second Tour of Duty aboard USS Warspite
Other Information:
Andrew Terrik currently serves as the deputy chief engineer on the USS Strasbourg.
