# Biography

## Family and Early Life

Alcione Richter Millenia was born on 16 March 2385 on Earth in Southern Germany. She was the second of four children of Lieutenant Commander Edward Richter and his wife, Helene Millenia. Her Andorian father served Starfleet as a Tactical Officer of the original USS *Hakaishin*, *Galaxy*-class (NCC-97626) and her Romulan mother was a civilian architect. Alcione had both older and younger brothers and a younger sister with whom she was very close to. She would later record in her personal log, *"My early childhood.. that is, our time in Germany... passed quite happily."*

The USS *Hakaishin* was soon reassigned to the Romulan Neutral Zone after the Hobus Crisis and destruction of Romulus. Lieutenant Commander Richter brought his family with him aboard the ship.

While still traversing the Neutral Zone on a relief effort of Romulan survivors, the *Hakaishin* came under attack. A pair of Tal Shiar *D'deridex* warbirds came out of cloak at port and starboard while the *Hakaishin* was shields down mid-transport of supplies to one of the many Romulan colonies devastated by the Hobus event. Ill-prepared for combat, surrounded, outnumbered/outgunned, and weighed down by refugees and civilians aboard, the *Hakaishin* was unable to adequately defend itself and the order was given to abandon ship. Alcione was only nine years old when she took her younger sister into an empty escape pod, which was ejected by the ship's computer. The rest of her family did not survive.

At the time of her destruction, the USS *Hakaishin* wielded a crew compliment of just shy of 1,000 personnel, and amidst the crisis of the Hobus event, carrying another 1,500 refugees, civilians and families. Of the 2,500 people affected by the Tal Shiar assault, 411 survived and made it to the escape pods. 190 were estimated to have been captured by the hostile Romulans. The rest, to include Alcione and her sister Asuna, were adrift without food or supply for nearly three days in cramped escape pods until they were retrieved by the *Devron*-class USS *Solstice*, commanded by then-Captain Ronixis Kenny.

With Starfleet spread thinly across the Klingon conflict, internal disputes, and the Hobus crisis, the *Solstice* was ill-equipped to house the civilians and refugees herself, and those rescued from the *Hakaishin* were deposited at a Federation colony on the fringes of the Romulan Neutral Zone, including Alcione and her sister. They experienced prejudice for their heritage while they lived here for six years until the survivors of the *Hakaishin* were recalled to Earth.

When the survivors were boarding their retrieving shuttles, raids and protests turned to violence over those who were leaving. As the children, Alcione and Asuna included, were being herded in a rush to get safely on the shuttles, a stray disruptor blast struck her younger sister’s chest as she still grasped onto her older sister’s hand, killing her instantly. Alcione made it onto the shuttle and returned to Earth.

## Starfleet Academy and Early Career

In light of Millenia's enlisted service record as well as Starfleet's growing personnel shortages amidst the war, Millenia earned the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade rapidly following her graduation and attachment to the USS *New Eden* as Chief Tactical Officer. During her time in this role, she served with distinction and rose to Lieutenant two years later. After this, she began to request her own command, but those requests were denied at the time.

Lieutenant Millenia's fortunes would change as the New Eden was ambushed while escorting a convoy through the Klingon Neutral Zone to deliver much-needed supplies to the front. The convoy was attacked by a squadron comprised of a battlecruiser and two birds of prey. Upon their initial decloak assault, the New Eden suffered a fierce volley of photon torpedoes, causing an explosion in the bridge, killing the Captain and First Officer and sealing the bridge from the rest of the ship.

The second officer was in Engineering at the time, leaving Millenia the most senior officer on the bridge, and she immediately took command. As the second officer and a damage control team frantically attempted to cut through the wreckage, Millenia directed the *New Eden* in a fierce fight with the Klingons. By the time the second officer managed to make it into the Bridge, Millenia had already disabled the Klingon battlecruiser. She then relinquished command of the vessel to her superior before returning to her station at Tactical and the *New Eden* proceeded to not only save itself and the convoy from destruction, but ultimately turn the tide of the battle to destroy the Klingon assailants altogether.

For her actions against the Klingons that day, the new commanding officer of *New Eden* immediately recommended Millenia for receipt of her own command. This action, in conjunction with the command review board overseeing her case changing to the hands of now-Vice Admiral Ronixis Kenny, the former commander of the USS *Solstice*, the vessel that saved Alcione and her sister following the Romulan attack of their childhood, changed the outlook of her application to that of favor.

Millenia openly requested command of a Dreadnought, however none were presently available for command. However, four *Akira*-class Escorts that had participated in the old Borg campaigns of the latter 24th century were being retrofitted with modern technology, weapons, and equipment. She was then assigned to the *Akira*-class Escort, dubbed the USS *Hakaishin* (NCC 97626-A). Upon taking command, she immediately set her ship to practicing the maneuvers they would need for their upcoming participation in the Klingon war.

## Eta Eridani Campaign

On Stardate 86696.35, the Federation launched an offensive to the Aldebaran Sector within the former Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone. The invasion force was made up of two task forces from the 501st Heavy Assault Fleet under the command of Admiral Bock and 12th Fleet's Tactical Fleet under Rear Admiral Produn Varlant. The 501st Assault Fleet moved directly across the border to draw out the Klingons for open conflict and produce a tempting target while the 12th Tactical, to include the USS *Hakaishin*, would drive the hammer blow coming through the rugged and unstable Principle Nebula. Admiral Varlant's corps, comprising of the 5th and 7th Escort Strike Wings supporting the 12th's primary Cruiser corps, advanced with the intent that the Escort vessels would protect the cruiser wing's port and starboard flanks respectively.

By Stardate 86730.98, the 7th Escort Strike Wing had reached the Traelus system. There, the attack into the former Neutral Zone stalled due to determined resistance from the Klingon defenders. The *Hakaishin* took direct command of the forces there, bringing up the wing's limited number of Science vessels to provide suppressive counter-fire. This was the first time Millenia commanded more than one ship at any time. With no cloaks or other ECM measures available, she improvised by using spreads of Tricobalt devices to create spacial rifts to conceal her Escorts. Amidst the enemy confusion, she dispatched the smaller, faster and lighter Sabres of the wing forward to mix in with the enemy ships to create gaps in their disorientated formations using hit-and-run maneuvers to draw fire to appropriate the Heavy Escorts to finish them off. The USS *Hakaishin* pushed forward herself to inspire her allies to follow in an aggressive push straight down the Klingon's throat, ultimately causing the total collapse of the Klingon garrison and capturing the system.

## Battle For Donatu

On Stardate 86880.13, the USS *Hakaishin* reached the Donatu system. Here, the 7th Escort Wing attempted to cut off the Gorn Expeditionary Force from a route of retreat back into sovereign Klingon territory. Lieutenant Commander Millenia was tasked with forcing the confrontation and drawing the Gorn into an open engagement where the smaller Escorts were best suited. Supported by Tricobalt vollies from the wing's few Science vessels at range, the *Hakaishin* managed to cross to the flank of the Gorn retreating force undetected, and the battle was commenced. Over the next hour, the Gorn would be reinforced by their Klingon allies in the form of two columns of Carriers. The standard weapons of most of the now-aging Escorts of the 7th Escort Wing, to include the *Hakaishin*, proved ineffective against the shields and hull armor of the Carriers. A battery with the wing's Science squadron's Tricobalts halted the first column. Taking this example, Millenia ordered the immediate modification of the next dozen of her own torpedo devices with Tricobalt warheads while fighting a rearguard retreat to buy time, giving the Klingons the illusion that they now had the initiative. As the second column of Klingon Carriers approached to within 9km of the fleeing Escorts and threatened to crush them with a renewed Fighter launching, Millenia ordered the Tricobalts launched in a unison spread from all gathered Escorts. Volley after volley followed, with Millenia personally directing the target of each with her Tactical Officer. As the losses of the Carriers and their fighters mounted, the attack was broken off.

After the battle for Donatu, Admiral Varlant ordered his ships to hold their positions while he attempted to negotiate a surrender settlement with the Klingons. 7th Escort Wing was afforded a few days of much-needed rest at this point. The Klingons appeared receptive and gave every indication of a conditional surrender while they bought time for their forces trapped to withdraw. They succeeded in evacuating their forces, which effectively abandoned the Gorn garrison that the task force was initially sent to dispatch. The following day, 7th Escort Wing continued their advance, reaching Cursa that evening.

For the assault on Cursa, Admiral Varlant placed two additional *Sabre*-class escorts under Millenia's command, along with one Science support vessel. The following morning, Millenia's squadron came under heavy fire as they made their advance to the primary M-class world of the system, Cursa II. However, they pushed through it and positioned to flank the region for a final hammer blow. The squadron's capture of Cursa II paved the way for the entrapment of half of the combined Gorn 19th and 44th Heavy Assault Wings, as well as their Nausican 11th Expeditionary Wing. After this raid and subsequent victory, the USS *Hakaishin* would again be granted a small window of rest.

## Drive For Granalda Station

The *Hakaishin*, resuming their advance two days later, drove for the Archanis Sector to secure the resource-rich Ganalda System. Advancing 10 light years in two days, the 7th Escort Wing reached the Otha System only to find it abandoned, most of the Nausican defenders in full retreat in light of news that the entirety of the 501st Heavy Assault Wing was bearing down on the area shortly behind the 7th. Securing the region from any remaining resistance, the 7th would continue its push toward the Archanis system. Five days later, the USS *Hakaishin* was the first to arrive, transmitting her arrival signal to the 12th Tactical HQ, marking her as the first vessel to penetrate and occupy so deep into Klingon-held territory before the rest of the 7th Escort Wing would catch up to them two days later.

On Stardate 87231.58, the 7th Escort Wing would continue their advance into Klingon space, this time their target was the Ganalda system, a shipyard the Klingons were using to rapidly recommission old warships to deploy to the front and halt the advance. The station was being guarded by a Klingon Battlestation Starbase. Normally, an entire Heavy Assault Fleet such as the 501st would be required to destroy such a Battlestation, however none were presently available. The 7th Escort Wing had a total of twelve ships, all of which relatively light and, while heavily armed, not suitable for a sustained fire fight. The wing included one *Defiant*-class Escort, the USS *Scimitar*; three *Akira*-class Heavy Escorts, the *Hakaishin*, *Nautilus*, and *Tirpitz*; five *Sabre*-class Light Escorts, USS *Bismarck*, *Prince of Wales*, *Nimitz*, *Samuel Roberts*, and *Penance*; and three Science support vessels, made up of two *Intrepid*-class and one *Nebula*-class starships, USS *Yorktown*, *Iowa*, and *Akagi*.

Lieutenant Commander Millenia approached Admiral Varlant with a possible plan of attack. It comprised assaulting an outlying Klingon patrol, using the Science vessels to effectively disable one of the ships while simultaneously disabling their communications, allowing for it to be boarded. The wing would then deposit their entire payloads of Tricobalt devices aboard masked by sensor shadows, before remotely controlling it to approach the Battlestation, transmitting the message that they survived the Federation attack, but carry wounded and need to dock. Once inside, the Tricobalts would remotely detonate with the aim of disabling the station's weapons, shields, and communications. That would provide the signal for the 7th Wing to warp into the system in force, laying in hiding in a nearby system behind a large planetary body, destroy the station as well as the shipyards and have a chance at repelling the defending patrols for a swift victory, thus avoiding a protracted engagement that the Wing was ill-suited for. The plan was ultimately approved, however received some resistance amongst command by those officers who viewed it as inhumane, using wounded enemy prisoners effectively as weapons to kill more in a massive attack. The plan was a success and put an end to all enemy activity throughout the sector. The end of the Klingon-Federation War would come only a month following the campaign.

## Interwar Period & Assignment To 26th Fleet, Task Force Avalon

With hostilities ended on the Klingon front, the USS *Hakaishin* was deployed on special assignment to reinforce the 21st Fleet to aid the demoralized troops that had been severely defeated by the Undine throughout the Delta Quadrant. Engagements for the *Hakaishin* during this period were primarily smaller-scale engagements. At this time, the Lieutenant Commander had become irritable, unapproachable, and frequently became known to completely disregard orders from Command. The traumatic events in her early life were being used in a psychological attack against her by the Undine. As opposed to other means of treatment or evaluation, Admiral Ronixis Kenny did not remove her from command, but instead reassigned the USS *Hakaishin* to the 26th Fleet operating from Starbase 381 *"Praetorian"*.

Millenia tracked down Farron and apprehended her, before turning herself in to *Praetorian* Security for her own unauthorized use of a phaser in order to safeguard Farron's life. [Incident Report]

# Personal Life

Alcione Millenia is not known for having many friendships. In spite of her outgoing and generally friendly personality in most instances, her forwardness and passion along with her general habit of being quick to trust but slow to forgive has put off many of the more reserved members of the 26th Fleet from interacting with her. This has lead Commander Millenia to believe the fleet at large has something against her, and she has dedicated herself diligently to reversing that sentiment.

Commander Millenia was, up until an incident on Stardate 94822.48, engaged to Commander Halia Farron. In light of what has happened, the two have since terminated this arrangement while the two officers get their personal lives in order. Previously she is reported to have had relationships with Commander K’Meiuu M’Rella and the late Lieutenant Commander Alexandra Kuznetsova.
