Gwen Keira Scott

## Childhood and Early Life

Lieutenant-Commander Scott is a 31 year-old female ½ Human ½ Betazoid born on Betazed where she spent her earliest years up until the age of 15 when her mother was given a new assignment on Earth. She was born to Kednia Denoi; a Betazoid woman and Miles Scott; a Human male. She has two brothers, Edeh and Brandt Scott. Gwen follows in her mother’s footsteps joining Stafleet at 18 after moving to Earth.

## Academy Years

Gwen joined Starfleet at 18 years attending Starfleet entrance exams at San-Francisco on Earth where she lived. She passed with an exemplary score allowing her to be quickly accepted into the Starfleet Academy Corps of Engineering. During the Academy Gwen made numerous friends as - thanks to her empathic abilities - she just had a positive aura and energy about her. She eventually joined an elite group of Engineering Cadets known for their Engineering prowess. Gwen spent most of her time in the academy on her studies and rarely went to a party or such. After completing her education in the Academy she graduated with honors being assigned to the *U.S.S Valiant* on which her mother was the CO.

## Early Service Years

Her first assignment was on the *U.S.S Valiant*, the Commanding Officer of the Valiant was her mother Kednia whom had been Captaining the ship for five years. She was assigned to the ship as an Ensign but had earned two promotions in her time aboard, after winning the Cochrane Award of Engineering after discovering a new method of increasing Warp efficiency by 7.78% she was promoted to Lieutenant Junior-Grade. Two years after serving on the Valiant she continued to show exemplary service with her brother Edeh eventually joining the crew of the Valiant after also completing Starfleet Academy. Three more years on the Valiant led to a continued show of her passion for Engineering and even participation in a cultural-exchange with the Klingons trading places with a Klingon Engineer for two months. While on the Valiant she became involved with a Tactical Officer whom she eventually married on-board; her life was in many measures perfect. She found out soon after her marriage that she was bearing the child of the Officer and she couldn’t have been happier; her mother was in tears of happiness on the bridge when she was told she was going to have a grandchild. Around 6 and ½ months into her pregnancy she was still working albeit under advisement that she take leave. During the sixth month the Valiant was attacked by a Romulan Warbird disabling the ship and boarding it, with most of the crew feared dead including her brother, husband, and crew who she considered family. She and Captain Denoi fought their way to main Engineering in order to overload the core in which they were successful, unfortunately on their way out she was shot with a Romulan disruptor on high stun which heavily injured her and her child. Limping their way to the shuttlebay they launch a shuttle with seconds on the clock before explosion, setting course for the nearest Starbase and jumping to Warp. When they arrived at the Starbase she was rushed into the sickbay where she was informed that her child had unfortunately suffered irreparable damage and later that day she miscarried, it utterly tore her apart.

## Recent Years

After the terrible incident with the Romulans, Starfleet Command gave both Captain Denoi and Lieutenant Scott commendations for perseverance, Scott was given a commendation for her valiance in the defense of her crew. She eventually transferred to the *U.S.S Endeavor*, a Nebula-Class Starship. She was assigned as the newly commissioned ship’s Chief Engineering Officer leading the entire Engineering department. She eventually took on a motherly role with some of her Engineers eventually developing a nickname from some of the closer Engineers; they would sometimes call her ‘Mom’. This however wasn’t the only nickname she was given aboard, Captain Adama of the Endeavor was an admirer of Montgomery Scott (No relation) and began to call Gwen; ‘Scotty’ as a bit of a joke due to the name. She retains the nickname and sometimes goes by it as she thinks it's funny. She served on the Endeavor until the age of 31, grieving and hiding her pain throughout her time on the ship. She stayed in-contact with her parents and living brother after the incident and informed them she was looking for opportunities to join a colonization assignment. She needed a change of scenery. Her mother informed her of an opportunity from Starfleet Command for a 3-year mission to Relia III, Gwen believed it a perfect opportunity and put in a request for the transfer which was accepted. She now serves as the Chief-Engineer (soon to be appointed) aboard the Providence.
