Sian doesn't like to discuss his past. He was a small, scrawny kid and bloomed very late, so he's always overcompensating for having been small and weak. 	
OPS Grelka, Klingon Female, Starfleet Engineering Officer, Grelka was the Daughter of a Junior Klingon Lord.  He tried to marry her off to the son of a senior Lord to solidify an alliance.
Grelka Stabbed the son and left.
Dishonored, she has built a new life in the Federation. 
She would have had a price on her head, but the war happened and everyone was too busy fighting for their lives.

Engineering OfficerRoger  Photonic Human Male, Starfleet Engineering Officer
Roger is an Emergency Engineering Hologram who ha attained sentience. 
He maintains his human form and works as an engineer out of a sense of duty to his ship and crew.  But when the war is over, he plans to explore what it means to be a holographic life form. 
He is not terribly interested in the life of the flesh, or organic people's pleasures. but he is congenially tolerant of his meat colleagues' foibles.

Brief description of ship:
An Angry Running Shoe.  If an Intrepid Class and a Defiant Class had a Love Child. 
 Fleet roleThe Arbiter class is a response to a military need.  It borrows a lot from the Intrepid-class and the Defiant-class. The innovation in this class is all about damage control, designing robust systems to withstand damage and keep on fighting.
The class has some multi-role capacity, but not like the Galaxy-class or Intrepid-class of a generation earlier.  Much of this comes from off-the-shelf technologies, techniques and even whole sections just being copied and pasted from older designs.
As a patrol ship or a strike cruiser the Arbiters are considerable combatants, and not to be taken lightly. 
The USS California, like almost all ships of her class, has been upgraded and field modified by her crew, seeking more firepower and enhanced caabilities, responding to threats, needs, and suggestions from other crews.
Age:The USS California is 2 and a half years old
Length:
Distinguishing Marks (Odd paint job, repair scars etc.)USS California has green piping and highlights.
Equipment Quirks and Problems:The USS California is not a good deep-space starship or a long cruise starship.  She needs too much maintenance and raw materials. 
In wartime, the Federation doesn't consider this a difficult decision to make, but for a peacetime Federation the USS California would be considered a hangar queen and expensive to operate.
The USS California blows through fuel and spare parts at a prodigious rate for her size
Equipment Advantages
The USS California has modified and enhanced equipment all over, much deviates even from a stock model Arbiter class.  Her phasers are leveraged 11 ways from Sunday, her torpedoes are jam-packed with advanced technology. Her shields can take an amazing amount of damage and then she has a secondary shield array that takes over.

====Engineering Details====
Primary Power: A warp core with Multiple enhancements. The shields tie directly into the warp core for enhanced power.
Secondary Power: The USS California has a robust and enhanced Impulse drive system which provides energy and also flings the ship about at enhanced speed. 
Primary Weapons: The USS California has full coverage from multiple phaser beam arrays.  Each array has been modified and enhanced.  The power system that feeds the phaser arrays has been enhanced and specialized.  The weapons computers have specialized processsors and targeting code to allow more accurate and puissant fire. 
Secondary Weapons: The USS California has a torpedo launcher that fired Quantum Phase Photon Torpedoes - these hit like normal torpedoes except to shields where their damage is multiplied 5 times.
Service History The USS California was built at Panitia Utopia shipyards at Mars. Most of the building crews will not especially remember the California, since, at that point in the war, the ship building crews were working over time all the time.
Since then the USS California has fought in battles from Earth to Q'onos to the Badlands and Bajor, and has survived them all.
Crew: 150 Starfleet, 50 exchange officers from local militaries, 50 mercenaries and 50 "contractors"
Mercenaries are people who have previous experience as starship crew, who have hired out to Starfleet as crew .  Many of these people have experience in Starfleet or other space navies but left for various reasons.
Contractors are similar, in that they are crew for hire, but they offered their services to the Captain directly.  These people are often shady, pirates, criminals and smugglers who have found independant operations too difficult and risky in the current environment. 
Under normal circumstances these people would be considered to lack loyalty and be security risks. But over the course of numerous battles, they have developed loyalty to the USS California and their fellow crew people. 
Some of the Starfleet Officers and crew are old timers who have been re-activated due to the war.
Due to casualties and losses, anyone who is a competent officer is being promoted rapidly.
