## Biographical Information

### Current Status

Active

Alice Yuan is a junior security officer assigned to the U.S.S. *Quest*.

## Background

Born on earth, Alice’s father is a respected attorney and mother is a judge. Grew up believing strongly in the law and grew up arguing around the table every night at dinner. She also enjoyed swimming and softball in the ocean from an early age. As she grew up she decided to go into Starfleet, feeling it was a great way to serve law and justice. Once she was accepted to Starfleet Academy Alice opted to go into security, taking classes in Rapid Response.

Alice's cadet cruise was on the U.S.S. *Sol* as it performed a deep space exploration. Upon completion she was promoted to Ensign.

Upon graduation Alice was assigned to U.S.S. *Carson* where she served as a security officer. The *Carson* was involved with a skirmish with Cardassians at Arcturus VI, a disputed planet where the Cardassians had landed troops. Alice was part of the security team that went to the planet and was trapped in the fighting when Cardassian ships destroyed the *Carson*. Alice and her team remained on planet avoiding Cardassian patrols and surviving until Federation ships arrived to relieve them three weeks later. Alice was reassigned to the U.S.S. *Quest* after the Arcturus VI incident.

## Serving on the *Quest*

### An eventful Shakedown Cruise

The *Quest* had undergone an entire overhaul and had her crew reassigned. Her first mission was a shakedown cruise to take place in the Arteline Sector. During the mission the crew picked up a strange signal from a mining facility on one of the moons of Balin IV. Captain Vazzeth ordered her first officer, Commander Solek, to lead an away team to the moon while the signal was further investigated.

While the away team was on the planet communications were impossible because of interference from the mine. Once the signal was decoded, however, it was revealed to be a message to the Romulan star empire. The Herellian “miners” turned out to be spies in service of the Romulan Star Empire. Realizing that the away team was in danger, Lt. Qosin asked for permission from Captain Vazzeth to lead a resume party, which was granted. Alice was part of this away team.

Indeed, Quosin’s instincts were correct and after an initial attempt at subterfuge the Herellians engaged the away team, resulting in a fire fight. The rescue team arrived in the nick of time to reinforce Commander Solek’s team, though Commander Solek was soon killed and Lt. th’Koro had been transported to a Herellian ship in pursuit of their leader, Hoddek. Fortunately Alice was able to help the others subdue and arrest the remaining Herellians.

### Prisoner Exchange

After a brief period at Starbase 39-Sierra to effect repairs and iron out shakedown bugs revealed, the *Quest* was ordered to transport Hoddek and the prisoners of the captured scout ship to rendezvous with the U.S.S. *Igrane* so they could be taken to be debriefed by Starfleet Intelligence. The *Quest* was also to accept the transfer of a new executive officer, Lt. Commander Leah Belmont, from the *Igrane*.

Unfortunately upon arrival at the rendezvous point, the *Igrane* was nowhere to be found. Scans showed it had flown into a nearby gas giant, and that another unidentified ship in the area had done likewise. Concerned that the *Igrane* was either under attack, or attempting to rescue another ship and may have been in trouble, Captain Vazzeth ordered the Quest into the gas giant to look for the Igrane and the other ship.

Although sensors and weapons were incredibly limited with the flammable gas giant, the *Quest* was eventually able to catch sight of a Romulan warbird. After a brief exchange of makeshift weapons from both ships, the vessels lost sight of one another. Fortunately, they soon found the *Igrane* and, though communications were impossible, the *Quest* was able to secure the *Igrane* in a tractor beam and attempt to tow the ship to safety. However, during the exchange, power to the brig was disabled and Hoddek and his fellow prisoners were able to escape. Alice was part of a team sent to secure the brig, where she engaged with a firefight with the prisoners.

Unfortunately the Romulan ship had become trapped in a gravity eddy in the gas giant and pulled deep into the gravity well and, before the federation vessels could get very far, the Romulan ship was destroyed, igniting the flammable gasses. The resulting explosion destroyed the *Igrane* and the *Quest* was crippled by the destruction of both ships.

Alice was injured in the explosion, but was able to continue fighting and she and K’orra subdued several of the prisoners while pursuing Hoddek and another escapee. During the pursuit she shot and killed Hoddek.
