Lt. Girak Mayott is the Assistant Chief of Security on the USS Odyssey.

## Background

Girak was born on Cardassia Prime and just like all Cardassian children started his schooling and immense mind training at age 4. Though his parents weren’t the richest, Girak still received a good education and managed to attend a preparatory school for the military. Once he finished training he was immediately placed in the Guard with his first duty as a soldier maintaining order amongst civilians in the main cities. Over the next five years he worked his way up to a Gor then Ragoc and served as a personal bodyguard for the Legate Osko. It was around that time he met his future wife Kessir, the daughter of Osko. They fell in love and within the year were married. Kessir worked as a chemist and lived at a station near the Demilitarized zone. Though Girak tried his best to be a good husband he found most of the time he was called away working as a Glinn for Gul Rendas and helped with overseeing Cardassian affairs around and in the Demilitarized Zone.

## Dominion War

The Dominion war broke out and Girak quickly found himself constantly in the heat of battle. He commanded a Hideki-class Cardassian patrol and striker ships along the demilitarized zone and close to Federation Space. The ships were used to protect the larger fighting ships from Klingon and Federation attacks. Over the next year tensions ran high through the ranks and Girak’s surety of Cardassian winning the war began to dwindle (though he’d never admit that). Upon hearing that all stations and civilians around the Demilitarized Zone were to be transported to Cardassia he feared for the lives of his family and volunteered to help with the transport. Once at the station he found his family and, disobeying direct orders, used the striker ship to take his family in the other direction away from Cardassia. Girak was quickly labeled a deserter to the Guard and chased down by another fighter as they fled. While under attack, Girak sent out a distress call as his ship, unknown to him, entered a dimensional rift and trapped him and his family in a suspended animated state for 24 years.

## 2395

The federation ship Apollo3 investigated a sudden distress call and were surprised to find the badly damaged ship. All four bodies were quickly beamed aboard but in the end Girak was the only survivor. Waking up on a federation ship was very distressing at first but the crew were accommodating and soon helped him feel more at ease. He remained as a civilian on the ship and became actuantes with Cardassia’s and Earth’s past history. His xenophobic nature made it hard to openly trust humans at first but over his 9 months stay aboard Apollo3 he began to trust and even form lasting relationships with the crew. He gave suggestions on security and weapons matters but could only do so much without proper training of ship protocols. Once Apollo3 returned to Earth he decided to seek asylum and not go back to Cardassia since he last left on not so friendly terms long ago. He enjoyed working on the Apollo and decided to join Starfleet since he longed to be a part of something similar to his military service on Cardassia.

## Starfleet

Academy life wasn’t so difficult for Girak since was used to hard work and dedicating all his time for one purpose. The more challenging part of the academy was trying to keep up with the century’s newer technologies and history. Living on the Apollo3 did help him gain some idea but he didn’t realize how different everything was till they reached earth. After completing the academy his first assignment was serving as a security officer aboard the escort ship Kelvin. It’s purpose was to protect the federation's trading cargo ships in transport to colonies bordering dangerous areas of space. He served on it for 4 years being promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and was then Lieutenant before being transferred to The Galileo2. While aboard Galileo2 he continued to work as a security officer but took more of an approach to specializing in weapons and hand to hand combat training. The Galileo was under attack multiple times and with Girak’s quick thinking the ship escaped with minimal damage. Once back on earth he took a position aboard Odyssey as a security officer. After a rather unsettling situation that involved the death of Captain Walker he spoke to his Department Head knowing that something had to change else history would undoubtedly repeat itself.

## Personality

Girak is hardworking and doesn’t like to waste time. He can be a little suspicious about others intentions especially if it’s being nice ‘just because’ but hey, that’s a security officer for you. He’s not much of a talker but doesn’t have a hard time forming relationships with others. He won’t however allow himself to fall in love with another person since he’s married to his work.

## Psych Evaluation

He’s been trained to handle extreme physically and mentally demanding situations. He won’t easily give under pressure. However he did fight in a war and watched his wife and 2 children die, but other than that he’s good. He grieves for their deaths but will never let the occasional sadness interfere with his duties.
