Mivena Tutru

## BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Born and raised by Romulan career officers. Mivena had a pretty uneventful childhood as she was born near the end of the century of silence from the Romulan Star Empire. Going through school, she had shown an aptitude in military studies. As soon as she had graduated from schooling, she went into the Romulan military to begin her mandatory service and become an officer in her own right. As a lieutenant, she focused in tactics and weapons, enjoying working on the new D'deridex warbirds that was deployed. She was assigned to the I.R.W Thiva as her first assignment as weapons officer. Proving herself capable, she was soon promoted to Centurion. Allowing herself to keep specializing in weapons, she also began to take command courses, intending on commanding her own ship one day.

After the assassination of the Romulan Senator, Vreenak, by the Dominion. Mivena was promoted to subcommander and became the XO of the I.R.W Thiva, having been able to stay on and be promoted. She was closer to her goal of becoming a commander of a ship. Her ship was among the first to be deployed against the Dominion, striking against them at the border between the Romulan Star Empire and the Cardassian Empire. However, after a few battles, the Thiva was lost, most of her crew including Mivena was able to escape. The crew was resuced by the Muthal and she helped on the weapons station there for the battles leading to their retreat. She was then assigned as XO to the I.R.W Terima. With that one having survived the war, and earning commendations for bravery and heroics during the war. The Terima was then routed to border patrols. During the border patrols, it was decided that Mivena was to earn her command position. To this end, she was made commanding officer of a recently commissioned D'Deridex-Class Warbird, the Piril. Unknown to Mivena, the ship had some sort of classified weapon on board that she was not informed of, which was why there was a number of Tal'Shiar agents on board. The mission was simple. Mivena was to command the ship from it's current position towards a research planet where she would be juged on her command ability. The journey started smooth. But because of the agents, they strayed too close to the bored and got caught by the Borg. Easily outgunned and boarded, Mivena decided to evacuate the crew and tried to hold off the Borg while they escaped. Being forced to run into her quarters with at least ten plasma rifles turned to different frequencies, she began a fierce battle against the Borg. Towards the end, she was fighting with a sword but was caught by the Borg. She felt the tubbles enter into her neck and she passed out.

She rarely ever talks about this part, except to the Romulan doctors that had helped her when she was liberated. She woke up as they were turning her into a tactical drone. If she screamed, no one heard her. If she cried, no one cared. Then the voices came and soon, her identity as an individual disappeared. She still remembers clearly how she was used by the Borg. What she did against her own people. And those she assimilated, she still remember their faces. She was freed finally after nearly five years as a Borg tactical drone. She was thankful, yet tired. Most of the implants were able to be removed, but a lot of the internal ones, including the assimilation turbels, are still in her body. With that help of Doctors, she was thinking about returning back to duty, but she was unable to become a commander due the the prejudice of her fellow Romulans, now being seen as Sub-Romulan, being seen as weak and unfit for duty due to the mental trauma. So, she was discharged and she decided to leave Romulus. She hoped on a freighter and went to a colony world to make her living alone, separated from other people. She cried when the destruction of Romulus was reported, but she still chosen not to come out of her self-imposed exile. Through the years, she became more certain of her identity as a Romulan, able to function better. Even going out into public every once in awhile. Then the Romulan Republic came around. They came to her, and actually saw her not as a drone, but as a Romulan. And they reminded her of that fact.. She listened to them and what they offered. And soon, she accepted. But she did not want to become a commander right away. She said that she wants to earn it, not through her service to the Empire, but now to the Republic. Accepting a commission as a Lieutenant, she went with them. She served in starbases as weapons officer until she was assigned to JTF Bellerophon to join the Romulan ship currently assigned there as weapons officer.
