| Personal History | Jhesia zh'Kaaliq was born and raised on Andoria, a harsh and unforgiving world known for its mining industry. Her family had been involved in mining for generations, and it was no surprise when Jhesia's parents expected her to follow in their footsteps. However, from a young age, Jhesia had a keen interest in science, music, and studying other cultures, which led her on a different path. Growing up, Jhesia had a close relationship with her older brother, Kehl. Despite the six-year age difference, the two were inseparable. Kehl was fiercely protective of his little sister, and Jhesia looked up to him as a role model. Kehl's interest in Starfleet had a strong influence on Jhesia, and it was through him that she discovered her passion for exploring the galaxy. As a child, Jhesia spent hours tinkering with gadgets and conducting experiments in her family's mining lab. Her parents were initially dismissive of her interests, but they soon realized their daughter had a natural talent for science and technology. With Kehl's encouragement, Jhesia began studying different species and cultures, immersing herself in their histories and traditions. She also developed a love of music, often composing pieces inspired by the planets and cultures she studied. When it came time for Jhesia to attend Starfleet Academy, her parents were hesitant, but Kehl convinced them it was the best path for her. Jhesia's academic record was impressive, and she quickly made a name for herself at the Academy. She was fascinated by xenobiology and spent much of her time studying different species and their adaptations to various environments. She also continued her studies in music, joining the Academy's orchestra and composing pieces for different instruments and ensembles. During her time at the Academy, Jhesia was chosen to participate in an exchange program with the Vulcan Science Academy. She spent a semester studying under some of the most prominent Vulcan scientists, and it was there that she first encountered the field of exobiology. This experience was transformative for Jhesia, who realized that she wanted to devote her career to studying the mysteries of the universe. Upon graduation in 2397, Jhesia was assigned to the USS Enterprise-E as a science officer. The Enterprise was on a mission to explore a previously uncharted sector of space, and Jhesia was thrilled to be a part of the team. Her background in mining proved useful when the Enterprise discovered a rich vein of dilithium, and Jhesia's expertise in xenobiology helped the crew navigate the new species they encountered. Jhesia's time on the Enterprise was not without its challenges, however. She struggled with the demanding workload and often found herself clashing with some of her more conservative colleagues. Her insistence on exploring new ideas and methods sometimes put her at odds with those who preferred to stick to established protocols. But Jhesia remained committed to her work, and her dedication eventually earned her the respect of her colleagues. Outside of her work on the Enterprise, Jhesia continued to pursue her interests in music and culture. She formed a small band with some of her fellow officers, playing at various events and parties on the ship. She also took advantage of the Enterprise's holodecks to explore different worlds and create new musical compositions. In her personal life, Jhesia remained close to her brother Kehl, who had also joined Starfleet and was serving on a different ship. The two often communicated via subspace, sharing stories and updates about their lives. Jhesia also began to consider her future, and whether or not she wanted to settle down and start a family. |
