Personal History		On May 5th, 2160 a child was born in an uncharted sector of the Galaxy on the planet El-Auria; Evelyn became the seventh member of Deven and Luciana's family. Evelyn arrived on Earth in 2178. In the beginning months after arriving Earth, Evelyn had begun to study the human race, for her finale requirement for the House of El’s Extraterrestrial Study Program. Few months on Earth, and several trilliquads of data, she applied for citizenship of the United Federation of Planets. While filing for Citizenship, she didn’t hide who she was. With the exception of her educational pursuits, she disclosed fully her race and where her homeworld was located. Evelyn was one of the first El-Aurians Starfleet has documented. Starfleet History Years later, at the age of 34, she enlisted into Starfleet and was assigned to USS Argonaut. She was on the vessel serving under the Communications officer for several years. On the Argonaut, she made her first true friend, Ensign Talek a Vulcan. He was the ship’s intelligence officer. Evelyn found the Vulcan interesting and the friendship blossomed. Her final mission with the Argonaut was when they made the first contact with the Capellans. Throughout her Starfleet career she served on multiple ships, and different positions, ranging from Engineer to Science, and then Tactical. USS Morgan, Delaware, and the Nova were the last assignments before requesting an Extended Leave of Absence. During the ELOA, Evelyn returned home to El-Auria, submitting her final report to the House of Eliaron, and completing her necessary education. Also, she wanted to visit Family, whom she was away from for over 30 years. Once at home, Evelyn had to debate whether to remain home or return to the Federation. After a lengthy debate with her father, Deven, she chose that her duty to Starfleet and the oath she made with them means she has to return. Before she left, she told her family that Humans are progressing nicely, and perhaps in her parent’s lifetime, the Federation would explore as far as El-Auria and waits the day where she can be on the ship that makes the first contact with her home. In 2213, Evelyn returned to duty and was assigned to the Vostro. With a new sense of purpose and duty for her Starfleet companions, she developed friendships more quickly than she did the previous years. She was again serving as a Science NCO, due to the need to see the advances Starfleet has made during her ELOA. She was astonished by the updates. Before she served on Warp 6 only starships, now, the USS Vostro has the ability to go to warp 8. She transferred to the USS Rome, who was commanded by her first friend, Talek. During her transfer they have met for dinner, in private, to get reacquainted, and it was then she realized how much she missed his company throughout the year. He mentioned an opening in the Intelligence department and offered her the position. She gladly accepted and served under Talek’s command for several decades. 2248 was her last year on the Rome, she felt a change was needed. Her relationship with Talek went beyond friendship, beyond the family. He was promoted to Admiral, and she went on to find new assignments and to continue her adventure. With that, she became the Chief of the Boat of the USS Lexington, a new Constitution class vessel, in 2261. She served with honor and distinction. Evelyn was always there to give the Captain her shoulder to lean on when she needs it. She developed long lasting friendships with her peers, especially the Captain of the Lexington, Emiko Odell. In 2272 when word reached to Evelyn about her homeworld being destroyed by a powerful race, she went into a depression and was considering ending her own life. It was the friendship and support of Emiko and others on the Lexington who helped Evelyn move forward after that traumatic event. As the years progressed so has her position. In 10 year, Evelyn had achieved the Executive Officer position of the Lexington and continued to serve with Captain Emiko until the ships decommission 2297. In 2306 Evelyn remained on Earth and began teaching for Star Fleet Academy in various fields of study. It was as if every year she taught a new course. Evelyn had grown accustomed to the domestic, tranquil life she formed on earth and decided to settle down. She began a romantic relationship with one of her colleagues at the Academy, Professor Richard Coleman who taught advanced combat training. Their relationship progressed into marriage in 2310 and lasted until Richard’s death in 2329. Unfortunately, they had no children and Evelyn progressed through life without Richard. Evelyn didn’t fall into depression and moved on with her life, long accepting that because of her race’s lifespan she’ll outlive many of her friends and spouses. She did however from that moment adopted his surname as her own. In 2333 Evelyn decided that remaining on Earth and being domesticated wasn’t fulfilling enough. She returned to the academy, not as a student, but as a teacher. While she was able to bypass typical standard courses and took more complex Engineering, Technological, Science and other courses that would reflect the new advancements Star Fleet and the Federation has developed since her time on the Lexington. By the time she “graduated” Star Fleet offered her a command of her own. Evelyn declined their reasoning that this was a new career with Starfleet and should start from the ground up. With that she was assigned to the Miranda class, USS Barbarossa, serving as the ships navigational officer. Her starting rank was Ensign and while she was over 160 years old, she felt like a teenager when she first engaged the ship’s engines to Warp 9.1. She served on the Barbarossa for a few years until the ship’s destruction in 2347 due to class 4 ion storm. While engaging an Orion Pirate Vessel near the badlands after taking a direct hit to the ship’s engines an Ion storm formed without warning and the ship and crew braced for the worst. Evelyn diverted all power to the ship’s structural integrity which made the difference between life and death for the crew. While the outer hull was completely obliterated, the inner hull held firm, and the crew survived the storm. Several shuttles and escape pods survived in operational condition and the crew abandoned ship. Evelyn served on several ships and positions between the destruction of the Barbarossa in 2347 to when she returned to Starfleet Academy in 2366. She returned to the Academy as a refresher course. There were newer, more advanced, vessels in the fleet and Evelyn was getting tedious of serving on 23rd Century era starships. She updated her knowledge of weaponry, propulsion, and Medical/Scientific advancements. A particular field that intrigued Evelyn was Psychology. Many people have suggested for her to take a councilor position so she at least decided to humor them by taking the necessary courses and advance her skills. She was assigned to the USS Melbourne as a Science officer when her worst nightmare came to Earth. The Borg was approaching Earth and the Melbourne with an armada of other vessels was on route to intercept. The vessel departed before Evelyn received her assignment so was stuck at Star Fleet HQ watching the reports coming from Wolf 359. Evelyn’s vessel was destroyed before she even stepped foot on it. The Enterprise-D eventually destroyed the Borg Cube, and life moved on for those at Starfleet, Evelyn now had a growing fear she’ll one day lose her new home to the very same aliens who took her old one away from her. A year later, in 2368, Evelyn took the position of Chief Science Officer of Starbase 221. She spent the next four years overseeing the Starbase’s vast science programs and activities, performing a few of her own. However, two years later Evelyn decided her next job would be onboard a Starship. In mid-2370, the USS Venture had a number of positions open up including the Assistant Chief Intelligence Officer position. At that time, Evelyn looked into and eventually obtained the position. While her first few months on the Venture she gained new skills from varies department, an example was when Evelyn reported to the Chief Intelligence Officer Lt. Madison and helped him write up reports and briefings and learned how interconnected everything appears to be with one another. At the start of the Dominion War in 2374, the Venture had led the way to several battles along the Cardassian border, most ended in defeats. One battle would remain fresh in her mind. The Battle of Sector 233-52, the system only contained one habitable planet, that was sparsely populated but it was strategically import to the war effort. The Venture's taskforce of 92 ships met a Dominion-Cardassian fleet of 76 ships. It was a few engagements where the Federation fleet outmanned the Dominion forces; however, the gun power decided the fate. While the battle raged on for seven hours, the Venture, badly damaged, and four other damaged Starfleet vessels returned to Starbase 23 reporting that they lost the sector. While the Dominion would experience brutal casualties themselves, they were reinforced midnight. Evelyn would experience more gruesome battles during the war, some harder to forget than others. Evelyn was beginning to feel something off regarding the war effort as if a turning point was about to be made. She made her intuition known to her commanding officer; however, this event coincided with the retaking of Deep Space Nine from the Dominion, leading her superiors thinking that moment was what she had been sensing. Evelyn still continued to have an “odd” feeling regarding the war. In early 2375, Evelyn transferred to the USS Michelangelo. The war was more in favor for the Federation and a new opportunity arrived for her. After several months aboard, Evelyn became the head of the ship’s Intelligence department. When news of a new alliance between the Breen and the Dominion following the Breen’s attack on Earth, Evelyn realized that was what she had been sensing month prior. When the Dominion launched a counteroffensive to retake Chin'toka, the Michelangelo was in that task force and was one of the first destroyed by the Breen's energy dampening weapon. After the destruction of the Michelangelo, Evelyn took the same position on the USS Washington. She performed her duty admirably and when her former Superior officer, Madison took Command, in 2376, Evelyn earned the Second Officer position. She continued to serve on board the USS Washington until the end of the Dominion War. It wasn’t until after the war, that things began to change of Evelyn. With the political landscape following the war toxic, Evelyn expressed her concern about a hidden threat that the Federation hasn’t encountered yet. Because of her long service to Starfleet, she managed to secure a meeting with the head of Starfleet Sciences. Between the war, her gut feeling, and the meeting with the Fleet Admiral of Starfleet Intelligence, Evelyn needed something to keep her mind off things and to rebalance herself. She enrolled for a third time to Starfleet Academy, taking more advanced technical courses. Following her second "Graduation" secured a position within Starfleet Sciences. Medical History: Evelyn is in excellent physical shape, displaying the agility and stamina associated to people a third their age. Because her species are long lived, it explains why her outer appearance doesn’t reflect her age at all. She has excellent reflexes, and does not appear to have any sort of disadvantage. -- Dr. Bradford Staff Attending, Starfleet Academy
