Djanto Sara

*Personnel file is marked: KIA*

## Childhood and Early Life

Sara got a late start in life, he considered himself always an outcast in Barzan society. His parents, not wanting a child once Sara was born, soon after landing in Federation foster care. Here learned to fend for himself, never really clicking with his younger peers. He didn’t actively dislike anyone, but he found it hard to trust others.

As soon as he turned 16 Sara left the foster home, and found solace working a myriad of jobs, any work he could find, he would do. Miner, Research Assistant, Junior Technician, Sanitary Worker, If it was a job, he would do it.

By the time he was 22 this mentality had led him out to the stars, a freelance agent open for hire with no particular specialty, he waited around in stations to find clients and be of service. The loner life isn’t the life he wanted, but it was the life he knew how to live.

Albeit a few years on the job had made him complacent, and as he touched down on a war torn planet on the edge of Orion space to look for any artifacts for a Ferengi benefactor, his ship was hastily tractor beamed and he was sold into the Orion slave trade.

This was not what bothered Sara, he’d felt like a slave to his menial work his entire life, it seemed the issue was nobody wanted him. Spending a whole year, shackled and sent from auctions ship to ship, alone and almost broken.

Up until he was put in a cell with a recently captured Starfleet Captain known as Mayhern. They had shared stories, become close, Sara happy to have someone to talk to… and if there’s one thing we all know about Starfleet, is that they always try to rescue their captains.

Taken away from his purposeless life and into a place of hope and order, Mayhern made sure that when the rescue party came, Sara would join them on the Captain’s Starship the USS Lyra, where Sara finally received a warm bed, counselling, food and most importantly, a sense of belonging.

It wasn’t long before Mayhern sponsored Sara’s approval into Starfleet Academy

## Academy Years

These years for Sara were difficult if not enlightening, not only did he learn the basics on Federation values, how to operate parts of a Starship but he also learned many things within himself. He learned he was most comfortable being the one that called the shots, how he always had been, he also learned that he didn’t always need to have his guard up, as soon as he let it down (willingly, and not when in an Orion cell) he began to make friends.

Of course him being stubborn would cause temporary fallings out and drama but, these things can be overcome and by the end of his Academy training, he was a firm and steadfast individual, ready to move up and on into the Command Training Program and his first assignment.

## Early Service Years

Sara spent 4 years serving aboard Mayhern’s ship the USS Lyra, in that time becoming quite a skilled helmsman. Now 29 years old it was a tough farewell when it was time for Mayhern to become an Admiral and give up the Captain’s chair, Sara decided it was the right time for a transfer onto another vessel.

## Recent Years

Moving to the USS Emerald, he made a friend out of the COO called Shaw, the two still communicate even after his six years of service there, first as a Lt. and then a Lt.Cmdr, he worked his way up the chain of command. And upon completion of his Command training, he was ready to become XO aboard a Starship, something which the USS Providence required.
