# Biography

## Family and Early Life

Nialwen was born aboard a refugee vessel before it reached the Faroist-Colony on Penthax IV. She grew up mainly on said ship and only after arriving at the Colony, started to wish for making more of her life, than simply being a farmers daughter. Eventually, after her people became part of the Federation, she enrolled into Starfleet – much to the dislike of her parents.

To this day, Nialwen says that any messages sent home to her parents, remain unanswered and that the situation with them remains unresolved. Multiple friends have suggested for her to take some time off to try and rectify said situation, but so far, the Lieutenant seems to just accept it as is.

It should be mentioned that her parents in themself are falling into the category of tradionalists among her people. Said faction tries to uphold themselves to their peoples traditions form the old days, disagreeing with the Vec'tas course of action and political decisions on their adopted new homeworld, Penthax IV, in the Arucanis Arm.

Over the christmas season 2419, Nial visited her home for the first time since the Academy and, following the advise from multiple Officers and friends alike, tried to fix the lingering problem between her parents and herself. However, despite her good intentions, that visit backfired and she now has been denounced as a daughter by her parents, which before the Arkadian Law makes her practically an orphan. Envoy Aranthian, aboard SB-381, has since started to keep a keen eye on her to make sure her needs as a member of his people are met and she wasn't taken advantage of.

As of Stardate 97782.54 (March 5th, 2420) Nialwen settled her orphaned status by having the nessary paperwork for an adoption filed. This was primarily done to prevent the Arkadian Council back home meddling in any way, shape or form with her career. The name of the person who adopted the Lieutenant isn't common knowledge (due to access restrictions of that part of her file) and Nialwen decided to keep her given birthname, not adding her adoptive families surname into the mix. She has since turned her focus to the friends she made over the past year in the Outback. Lt. Ji'lapor continues to serve aboard U.S.S. Ares.

Aside various Ares' crewmembers and Officers like Tel'iss, the only true friend that remains for Nialwen from her Academy time is Debby Grantville. She attended the wedding as maid of honor and is planned to be the godmother to Debbies and Charles child, once born.

On Stardate 98495.82 her request to change her surname to her adoptive mothers, was eventually approved by Envoy Aranthian. For ease of use, Nialwen opted to go on official rosters by Ji'lapor-Lanae since. The only deviation from that are her uniforms, the nameplate on her cabins aboard Ares and SB-381 and the name she gives to anyone asking her - Lanae. Though disgruntled by her decision, Envoy Aranthian has forwarded the collection of events having lead to this incident directly to the Vec'ta on their homeplanet. Time will tell what, if any, consequences Lt. Lanaes decision will have going forward.

With Captain Kass Lanaes departure from USS Ares on Stardate 98713.12 (February 9th, 2421), Lt. Lanaes future is unsure. It remains to be seen if the young woman is able to find her strength without her adoptive mother watching over her. One thing is certain, like Kass told Nialwen - it was the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.

After the death of Relo she buried herself into work until eventually she left USS Ares and took a leap into the direction many of her friends had suggested to her - on the path to command. Her dream to one day sit in the big chair aboard her own starship once again alive! Hurt as she was though, Capt. Collu Zekell of the USS Traveller noticed her dilemma and took it upon himself and his trusted ships counsellor, Palar, to help the young officer. After almost 2 years serving aboard his ship and continued counselling sessions attended, she was eventually cleared for full duty again. The temporary assigment came to an end and out of an impulse, after running into Capt. Adams one evening aboard 381, she took the offer to apply for the XO position aboard the USS Valhalla. Now 2 weeks on leave that luckily wasn't cancelled by Capt. Adams, Nialwen plans to reconcile certain friendships that suffered over the past years, reconnect to those she holds dear and, above all - prepared for the next step in her journey taking place in the Outback - a Commander's Board in the near future. And the one friend that knew her best among these people, Tel'iss, had already spoken to her again. Nialwen is certain that she will achieve her goal - the question was only how and when. Though inwardly considered prepared and ready, the young Arkadian is only too aware that this career path was literred with problems she would have to overcome. Not the smallest her young age.

## Starfleet Academy and Early Career

As Cadet, the woman had lots of trouble at first to integrate into the class. Frequent flirtatious comments towards her person by two male class-mates caused her to essentially hide from everyone when not attending a course. The first year she practically was a loner with no friends, or social connections, of any type.

This luckily changed during her 2nd year and she began to show the potential Starfleet assumed she'd have after her entrance-level tests. Although unknown what caused the change in her demeanor, she slowly but gradually became more outgoing, open and approachable. At the end of the 2nd year her grades had improved consistently and she started to seek out a few other Cadets to start building friendships.

During her 3rd year these connections became actual friendships. Namely another Arkadian Sy'ig and a human Debby Grantville. The three even learned and trained together half-way through the 3rd year. When it came to graduation time, Nialwen was alone. Her parents weren't able to attend being involved in rebuilding projects on their new homeworld, Penthax IV.

Although she had a rough and painfully slow start at the Academy, Nialwen finished 2nd of her class in Tactics and was omitted to Command College for further training.

In November 2417 she was lucky enough to be deployed to a ship – the U.S.S. Starlight, an Armitage-class Heavy Escort Carrier tasked with patrolling the Gamma Quadrant. Her CO was Commander Bradshaw who, at first, had doubts about this new Ensign on his ship. But after some months, he saw what her teachers at the Academy had seen after a year: A potential to become a lot more than she thought of herself – hidden in a self-doubting young woman, that was at times too shy for her own good and had to be prodded to show her potential.

Over the course of her service aboard the vessel. Nialwen slowly integrated into the crew and became known for her laugh attacks during off-duty events. On duty, her quick thinking and intuitive reactions brought her the nickname 'Rabbit' – because her evasive maneuvers were so unpredictable that even Commander Bradshaw couldn't fathom at first just what that Ensign was even doing. She was looked upon as the 'new kid on the block' but the crew eventually accepted her fully and friendships started to form. Nialwen started helping out in the Infirmary voluntarily in between simply because she wanted to 'be prepared' if that need ever arose.

In April 2419, during a tactical drill on the bridge, Commander Bradshaw suddenly called her to attention and promoted her to Lieutenant Junior Grade. After congratulations were passed by the present bridge-crew, he then proceeded to read the new orders he received to her: To deliver her to Starbase-381 in the Outback, to report for duty. Stunned and not fully understanding why she was promoted and sent off the ship, after this event she spent the majority of time once again alone, being reclusive after duty. Trying to think of what she did wrong. The promotion suddenly was looked upon with bitterness – she had to leave the ship she by now knew intricately.

# Career in the Outback

* After her re-assignment to SB-381 "Praetorian" on April, 22nd 2419, Nialwen spent most of her time finding things to occupy herself with. Without an actual assignment to a starship, she was basically just temporary station personnel and free for other officers to recruit her for missions if deemed necessary. Instead of waiting for such to happen, she volunteered as often as possible and bounced around various starships, learning the ways how things were done in the Outback, the Officers about and trying to fit in herself.

* On her first mission with MACO Team 30, her skills as a sniper were recognized (using a TR-116-B with a custom scope) and subsequently she was requested by name for at least one other operation afterwards. Nialwen experienced her first real ground combat -and injury- while deployed with the members of Team 30. Friendships started to form as a result later. She voluntarily joined Team 30 on four more MACO missions of various difficulty against the Monsoon Pirates - including the last strike against them ending the threat. It taught her more than just a little about ground warfare and, more importantly: Teamwork.

* As of May, 17th 2419, Lt. Ji'lapor officially transferred to the U.S.S. Ares as Tactical Officer under Cpt. Kass Lanae. Despite her new assignment, she remains friends with various MACOs and considers it an honor to be deployed with them, doing her best to support them with her accurate sniper fire.

* On September, 8th 2419 she was part of R.R.W. D'Soria crew as the Project Lead for the SLPs (Scourge Lure Probes). Probes, modified to act as a Lure for the Scourge. Her main model (CSLP Mk I at time of testing, had Photonic Emitters, a CapBat and containers with replicated biomatter installed) tested successfully and in the progress, managed to draw 4 Scourge Destroyer-type vessels away from having lingered over the still phased-out Polaran Homeworld. With the vessel gone, the planet could return to normal space. Although 6 Lures had to be fired in rapid succession to achieve the desired effect, Lt. Ji'lapor has submitted an improved Mk II version of the CSLP model for approval to be deployed fleet-wide.

* During the Defense of Discens Station on October 18th 2419, LtJG Ji'lapor was on duty aboard USS Ares at the Tactical Console, operating weapons, shields, turtle-system and all the other things that needed attention. The ship was damaged heavily by a direct hit from a Scourge Dark Energy Lance, while trying to aid USS Dawn Treader, but thanks to the Turtle System and Cpt. Lanaes quick order to deploy, as well as LtJG Ji'lapor quick execution of the command given, survived deploying the Turtle just in time! To this day, USS Ares is the only ship to survive a direct hit from such a weapon and remain operable afterwards.

* The first time Nialwen was put in command of an Away-Team was during the rescue of Ensign Relo Volkov, who had been aducted by Kingdom of Cevant Traditionalists and replaced with a saboteur aboard Ares. Thanks to, at the time Ensign, Zaytseva the saboteur was found quickly and Lt. Kirkland started to search through gathered evidence to find a location of where the original Ares crewmember was held hostage. Though doing his best, it was Cpt. Krian who found the location in the end. A number of Ares' crewmembers transported over to the USS Parche and were combat-dropped onto a moon, on which somewhere within a local mining-installation Ensign Volkov was held hostage. Team 1 was lead by Commander Synris focussing on distraction and sabotaging coms, so that the facility couldn't call for reinforcements in case of discovery while Team 2, led by Lt. Ji'lapor, was tasked to find and free Ares' crewmember by any means necessary. Nialwen focussed on stealth and protecting her team while moving decisively forward. In the end, it payed off and Ensign Relo Volkov was rescued alive. The operation has since been classified due to the unexpected appearance of a Kingdom Cruiser destroying the entire moon and all evidence left after Starfleets personnel had evacuated from the facility.

* Those of the Ares' crew among her friends, refer to her with the nickname **Rainbows**. It's a friendly joke about her Lo'Sthar flaring up when embarassed. Other nicknames, though seldomly used only, include **Flashlight** and **Torch**.

* As of Stardate 97997.3 (May 22nd, 2420) Nial entered into a relationship with Ensign Relo Volkov, a Decryption Specialist from Ares' Science Department. The two keep it professional on duty so far. On Stardate 98778.54 (March 5th, 2421) this relationship was shattered, when at the time LtJG Relo Volkov, perished aboard the SS Montpelier in an accident in the Caspian - Wormhole that cost the lives of all but 5 people from crew and passengers that the LtJG managed to save.

* Despite the latest events, Nialwen achieved Hazard Team Certification on Stardate 98789.17 (March 8th, 2421) after a practical exam witnessed by Cpt. Warnicke and Commander Synris. Hazard Team Certification - passed

## Relation- / Friendships with other Officers

* **Cpt. Kass Lanae**

Though at first unknown by Kass, the young Arkadian Lieutenant considered her family in a strange way, perhaps something like an aunt, or perhaps even an older sister. Nial learned something new daily over the course of their interactions. They kept a professional distance, but over the months serving aboard Ares, Nial learned to let down her guard during social meetings at least. The two get along well on and off-duty alike. Perhaps, because Kass sees a younger self in the purple teenager that operates tactical systems on her ship. On Stardate 98713.12 the Captain announced she'd step down as Captain of USS Ares effective immediately after having accepted a position at Utopia Planitia to take command of the new class of ship developed after Ares' successfull trial period with the 26th. At the very last exchange with her adoptive daugther, the Scalarin freely admitted she had developed a true attachment to Nial as her daugther: The love of a mother.

* **Cdr. Virana Synris**

One couldn't describe the relationship between Nial and Virana as friendship. Not even in the broadest understanding. Their relationship is a bumpy one, with the Commander not hesitating to critizise Nial on mistakes made, though always in a way to help her advance further, increase her skills. In turn, the young Lieutenant is usually somewhat nervous and shy around Virana. Perhaps the sternliness displayed, is just her way of making sure the youngster doesn't get complacent in her job. Though CDR Synris was expected to be the next CO of USS Ares following Cpt. Lanaes departure, to the surprise of the crew a new Captain was appointed by Command shortly after. During a conversation with Cpt. Jack Warnicke and Commander Synris, Nialwen was surprised to hear words of praise and confidence in her abilities from Virana for the first time openly. She since had to re-evaluate her impression of Virana and seems to be perhaps a little less nervous around the stoic woman that almost always had a mug of coffee in hand. During the fleets annual vacation on Risa 2421, Virana and Nial were going free-diving together with a risian guide. The two emerged openly smiling and laughing after the one hour dive, going for drinks afterwards at the beach bar. Crewmembers that saw them were surprised to see them interact on a very relaxed level.

* **LtC. Natalya Kuznetsova**

A member of MACO Team 30, Nial and the Commander were deployed together on the first mission the young Arkadian joined voluntarily against the Monsoon Pirates. The two seemed to get along well with each other right from the getgo and while Nat loves to tease Nial just so her Lo'Sthar show up, the two have formed a friendship, with Nial often contemplating how to prank Nat back. Perhaps the LtC has had a little more influence on Nial, than assumed...

* **Riov Tel'iss T'latta**

Besides Chief Engineer Christoph probably the closest friend of Nial. The Romulan, like Nat, loves to prank the youngster with a vengeance, but she has been a positive influence on Nialwens development and personality ever since they met. She has hinted various times to find Nial attractive, probably just to cause her Lo'Sthar to react violently. But more importantly, with her unique two-sided personality of being kind and understanding when the situation allows it, while direct and stern when professionalism was required, has helped Nial to learn about herself and even gone as far as teaching her meditation techniques to help her anxiety issues that are still a factor for the Lieutenant. The two have grown very close and Nial has shown her appreciation for Tels help at christmas 2419, on which she presented Tel with a holographic representation of Romulus that she had found during a shopping spree. Funny enough, Tel is also the only person aware how to cause an actual 'drunk' reaction in Nial.

* **LtC. Armande Christoph**

The relationship between the Chief Engineer of Ares and Nial is complicated - to say the least. Since Risa 2419, during which Nial developed feelings for the man - and told him - they have been very close. With Armande being married and Nial without any serious relationship to this day, it is somewhat of a bitter-sweet story really. They are both madly appreciating the others presence, but Nial doesn't want to tear a family apart and Armande, while certainly considering her attractive, wants something better for her than himself. Strange, considering that the man usually didn't hesitate. But their relationship has become something special and precious over the months and while often teased about it, even Nial isn't embarassed about it anymore. They both know they can trust each other blindly with the important things and likely would risk their own life to save the other. But beyond some hugs, a dance and frequent teasing, even the Chief shows restraint with her. Suprisingly so! Armandes daughter Liz has taken to call Nial 'Auntie' after the Arkadian took care of her and her brother a few times, while their parents weren't available. Through the interaction and exposure to Liz, Nial has developed a wish for own children one day.

* **Crewmen 1st Class, Lexia A. Sirjanna**

Nial and the Orion woman are a strange pair. But it was Lexia that had been told to watch over Nial during the first MACO mission and since then - these two have become sisters if one would ask them. Lexia has developed a fierce protective behavior when it comes to anyone considering to pursue Nial. In a way, she is somewhat of a bodyguard, eyeing any male approaching the Lieutenant rather critically and making sure, they do no overstep boundaries. Though what those are exactly...one would have to ask Lexia. It has become an ongoing joke between them and both enjoy the others company just chatting, drinking and learning from each other. Lexia taught Nial about ground-combat, Nial gave some her insight into some of the aspects of Starship operation in return, as well as stories aboard her service on one of the 26th Fleets starships. And while Lexia usually is pretty stern, she doesn't hesitate to tease the young Lieutenant when the opportunity arises. Perhaps to keep her on her toes?

* **Lt. Aleksandra 'Sasha' Zaytseva**

Another crewmember of Ares that came aboard after Nial, the young Ensign, who is also somewhat plagued by anxiety and Nial got along well right from the start. They both share the same humor, like to just chat casually with each other and Nial has learned much from Sasha about computers. Especially when it comes to Nials mediocre LCARS, Sasha has been constantly helping her out, looking over the LTs work and over time helping her to improve. Though only slowly - since Nial is a rather slow learner in that department. Sasha also keeps an eye on Blue, Nials Caracal if duty shifts allow. Off-duty, Nial and Sasha often hang out together, watching movies, just chatting or simply spending time together while they hang after their own thoughts. Both are comfortable in the others presence. Interestingly, Nial is seemingly somewhat protective over Sasha.

* **Lt. Nick Kirkland**

The Chief of Security and Nialwen have a somewhat interesting relationship. On occasion, the two can be seen chatting normally during lunch, or doing PT together with Nick not too shy to push her - but at other times they seemingly avoid each other to the point of being short-worded and taking effort to stay out of each others way. Their dynamic seems a bit strange, but the two work well together. Despite that, Nialwen takes great precautions to avoid trespassing into Nicks department. Perhaps to keep professional distance, perhaps just because it is the way she works.

* **Ensign Relo Volkov**

When Nial came aboard and found the strange code buried deep within the existing firing matrix of Ares, it was at first primarily Ensign Volkov who helped her with his decryption skills. Over the time working on the problem, the two quickly became friends and although the Ensigns eyes seemed to rest often on the young Arkadian when she wasn't looking, his work didn't suffer. It was Relo together with Sasha, who finally managed to decode all the message pieces that had been hidden in the matrix, the time spent together on it laying the groundwork for the friendship evolving. The next year, Relo was abducted and replaced by an imposter from the Kingdom of Cevants traditionalists. During the rescue mission, Nial lead the 2nd away and they managed to free a badly beaten Ensign alive. A couple weeks later, the two went for a long talk during a party and when returning, seemed to be even closer then. The two eventually became a couple on May 22nd, 2420.

On Stardate 98778.54 (March 5th, 2421), the Oscar-class Civilian transport "SS Montpelier" collided with the confines of the Caspian-Wormhole during its journey through the same. Except for five survivors in an escape-pod, all crew and passengers perished - including LtJG Relo Volkov who was bound to return to USS Ares from a trip to Mars. With the Tlo'Asth broken suddenly and violently, it caused Lt. Lanae an immediate, severe painful reaction and she was just in time to call a medical team to her quarters before losing consciousness. Out of respect for the crew, Cpt. Jack Warnicke organized a memorial service to honor the lost crewmember he never met.

Initial Newsreport

USS Ark Royals internal SF message

* **Cdr. Kasserret R'Rwo**

A member of MACO Team 30 when Nial deployed with them, the friendly and somewhat reserved Caitian has been watching Nials back during one of the missions. He quickly came to respect her shooting skills, while Nial in turn has learned a lot from the man just by watching him. Though unknown by Kasserret, Nial considers him rather cute, but with his rank and profession has never even touched on that subject, nor does she seem to intend to. Beyond that, she considers him one of the fiercest fighters she has ever witnessed. He basically kept her alive during "The Mine" - and vice versa. Since then, she holds the man in high regards and would likely jump at a chance to be deployed with him again.

* **Cpt. Zinjha Krian**

One of the first Officers that Nial met in the Outback that actually spent time to learn of the young Lieutenant by speaking with her, Cpt. Krian is held in the highest regards by Nial. Perhaps a bit naive not knowing really a lot about Zinjha, Nial goes by what interaction they had thus far. And after operating USS Parche's armament during one of the very missions Nial actually joined in the Outback, she gained the Captains respect. One could say over the past months this evolved to a careful friendship. Those knowing about it, have no doubt Zinjha is the reason for Nials apparently neverending supply of -true- Andorian Ale. And the rest? They somewhat carefully whisper behind raised hands that Nial seems to be quite close to Starfleet Intelligence and even go as far, as suspecting her to spy - teasingly. For the most part, that is. There are those crewmembers aboard Ares that take effort to avoid Nial because of this. As for Zinjha and the young Arkadian? They are professional when they meet and the respect for one another is obvious if one listens to them talk. Zinjha has been supportive of Nial in various instances and has gone to great lengths to make sure the young Lieutenant keeps improving. Perhaps to some degree she acts as influence behind the scenes - without Nials knowledge of course. Spooks gonna spook afterall!

* **Erei'Arrain Teav tr'Havaran-Zaytsev**

Ares' helmsman and Nial at first clashed when they met and their working relationship was bumpy with many snarky comments going back and forth. Over time, this calmed down and while they're not exactly friends, their relation with each other has turned from snarky to teasing and actually friendly. It goes as far, as Teav reaching out to Nial when there's a question about ...relationship things with a woman. Funny, considering Nial has no own experience and basically replies with her thoughts on the matter. Nial in turn considers Taev an absolute master at the helm - considering what he manages to do despite Ares' mass and bad maneuvrability. Though she wouldn't tell him that to the face, likely not wanting to blow up his ego any further than it is already obvious!

* **Erei'Riov Kven'jel**

The Reman, like Cpt. Krian was one of the first to talk to Nialwen when first she arrived on 381. She and Nial have since then become something like friends. It is interesting to listen to their conversations, since the Reman tends to entirely miss the point of some of the things Nial says, while in turn Nial most often misses the womans humor. The two of them like to have a good chat though and Nial has tried to get the Erei'Riov to care less about others comments about her looks and become more outgoing. Interesting, considering how shy the Arkadian is the higher the rank of an Officer.

* **LtJG. Jennifer Cooper**

Jen and Nial were deployed a number of times together and Nial remembers well the shot that sent Jen to the infirmary during the mission at the 'the mine' as those having deployed on it call it. Nial took a liking to the young woman seing her skills and observing her to learn more. They aren't exactly friends, but Nial has shown concern for the well-being of her sister-in-arms and seems to keep tabs on her. Though they haven't met and spoken in a few months.

* **Crewmen 3rd Class Ki'tanna**

The Polaran youngster and the Arkadian youngster - when they stand next to each other, it often causes a bit of confusion in those not knowing either. While sharing many similiarities about their looks, they both have very different personalities and maybe because of that have become good friends over the course of Nials deployment to the Outback. Kit, as Nial calls her, has seemingly no filter when talking to others and Nial took a liking to her humor, as well as perhaps partly seing herself in some aspects in her. She has helped Kit with her shuttle teachings, giving her some pointers in the hopes it would it a bit easier for her and gifted the woman a refurbished TR-116B rifle that she had spent hours on getting it back into shape. Nial has offered Kit to teach her about the role of a sniper and train her in the skills required, but first and foremost, she just wants to spend some time with a good friend, while making sure that if the situation ever arose, Kit would have a fighting chance - literally.

# Personal Achievements

While familiarizing herself with USS Ares' systems that she'd be in control of after being transferred to the vessel, Nialwen discovered unknown code in the existing firing-matrix of the ship. Over the course of time, and with no luck trying to 'fix' the problem of said matrix, she decided to try her hand at redesigning a new one from the ground up. WIth the help of various Officers to supplement her own mediocre LCARS programming skills, she eventually managed to come up with a surprisingly elegant, yet untested solution: A precision firing matrix with 2 different modes, able to switch between both at a tab on the console. This was dubbed '***Project Pleasantry'*** by herself. Extensive testing and sacrificing most of her off-duty time later, eventually a final testing witnessed by Cpt. Lanae and Cmdr. Synris took place. Proving the LTs new design working, useful and ready for deployment, the old matrix was removed entirely and stored in an off-ship archive. In its place, Lieutenant Ji'lapors newly designed matrix went online on Stardate 97041.99.

During the Conflict with the Scourge, Nialwen modified probes to become Lures for the Scourge. They tested working if deployed in large amounts helping the Polarans to phase their homeworld back into normal space, after luring the lingering Scourge Forces above the planet away. As a result, the probes were modified once more and the CSLP Mk IIs were deployed fleet-wide. It was, albeit a minor, still a success for the young Arkadian officer and did have a not so minor effect on the Polaran homeworld!

Nialwen passed the Hazard Team Certification Exam on Stardate 98789.17 (March 8th, 2421) witnessed by Cpt. Warnicke and Commander Synris

# Starfleet Medical Report

Nialwen is a healthy, young Arkadian, beloging to the Farendian Tribe of the Arkadians. She still has both sets of kidneys typical for her people and displays normal development. Noteworthy is here, that alcoholic beverages do not have any effect on Arkadians – at first. In tests it was established that after consuming more than six bottles of Andorian Ale for example, a delayed reaction took place. Although only a slight blurring of her vision was reported, it is suggested to exercise strict self-control when consuming large amounts of alcohol. Especially in view of the inherent danger reported by other Starfleet medical officers in that Arkadians can literally drink themself to death without even realizing it. By the time symptoms manifest, it is usually too late already. This seems to be more of an allergic reaction than anything else.

Otherwise, as usual for her species, Nialwens bio-chemical reactions are heigher than average. The emotionally affected markings on face and neck (Lo'Sthar) show normal function. In comparison to other Farendians, Nialwen has not yet gained full control of them and occasionally needs to be reminded to train. Though not dangerous if neglected, it is distracting and may be considered an annoyance by superiors, colleagues or other alien species.

**Important Note:** There are known allergies against Melorazine that in doses of 30cc or more can cause death in Arkadians. It is possible to administer it in emergencies, but strongly suggested to use other options!

Psychologically Nialwen is a smart, fast thinking and generally judging complex scenarios correctly young teenager of her people. However, it is noted that superiors of the rank Captain (and especially above!), often cause excessive nervous reactions with her. This goes from an inability to speak, up to bursting into tears. (We remind at this point that despite her 68 years, compared to a human she'd be barely 16 years old.) We suggest frequent exposure to higher ranked Officers in order to help her overcome this.

Overall: Nialwen is cleared for deployment to a Starship / Starbase / Planetary Base. Suggested Check-ups for Arkadians are in periods of 6 months. In hazardous enviroments 3 months.
