November 2010 – L'Verrem

L'Verrem was born on his native Cait in 2344. His childhood was typical of other Caitians. His father is part of the planetary defense forces. As a warrior, he felt it was his duty to teach his children the ways of combat-for-protection. He learned the ceremonial fighting discipline of Rakun from early childhood and did well. He also gathered a special appreciation for written languages. He found certain human, Vulcan, and Bajoran writing techniques as beautiful as Caitian calligraphy. He began his advanced education by attending the University of Cait, where he received a four-year degree in Caitian calligraphy art as well as a minor in political science. He followed his urge to wander about the stars to learn more about these races and their art, as well as fulfilling the Caitian imperative of serving living for honor, by attending the Starfleet Academy in the officer training program.

October 2010 – Aid

September 2010 – Connie Butterworth

Named after her grandmother Connie Elizabeth Morgan was born on the 5th of October 2352 in the city of Sydney Australia on the planet of Earth to parents Elizabeth and Patrick Morgan. At the time of her birth both of her parents had taken leave from their work with the Starfleet Diplomatic Core where her mother was serving as a Diplomat to focus on their new roles as parents. Elizabeth briefly returned to her with the Diplomatic Core in September 2353, but made the decision to step back from her work in 2354 so she could focus all of her attention on raising her daughter with Patrick. Her decision to step away from work had also been triggered by the news that she was pregnant with her second child. The Morgan’s packed up their lives in Sydney and moved to the much quieter city of Hobart on Australia’s southern island called Tasmania where practically all of Elizabeth’s large extended family lived including her own parents.

August 2010 – Sovereign Class

The Sovereign Class starship was born out the necessity for more combat oriented starships to help combat the Borg Collective, yet keep host to a wide variety of exploratory and diplomatic missions during peacetime. Originally three starship designs were fielded to combat the Borg: Project Sovereign, Project Defiant and Project Nova. Both the Defiant and Nova projects were considered entirely too small to field what was needed; however they were later rebuilt into separate starship designs. For the mainstay of what the project called for, the Sovereign design was chosen to essentially replace the Galaxy Class as the flagship design of the Federation.
