Jatila

Rank: Serona Cadet

Species: Romulan (Skenri, Romulus)

Position: Ambassador's Adjutant to the Romulan Ambassadorial delegation, Federation Station 419-Upsilon, Dulcais Sector

Summary:

2349: Jatila is born on the Cardassian-held Federation colony Terramire. Sason, her mother and a Tal'shiar agent, is a prisoner being held by Glinn Dumar in his residence there. Jatila immediately becomes an excellent tool in his efforts to bend Sason to his will, but is otherwise mostly ignored by him.

2355: Sason manages to smuggle a message out to her husband, Jatila's father Claha.

2356: Claha engineers a covert raid on Terramire to rescue his wife and daughter, despite having remarried. The trio is halfway to freedom when they are intercepted by the furious Glinn. Dumar attempts to carry out the threat he held over Sason's head all those years; when he fires his weapon at Jatila, Sason intercepts the beam, dying in front of her daughter's horrified eyes. Claha kills Glinn, painfully, with his bare hands, and takes Jatila back to Romulus. The girl assimilates into Romulan culture with ease, thanks to her mother's quiet training, and Claha impresses upon her the secrecy that must shroud the truth of her early years for the rest of her life.

2369: Jatila undergoes Pylanazi. By then, Claha had dissuaded her from a career with the Tal'shiar, but he nevertheless agrees to let her work in his office to better prepare her for a life in the Star Navy.

2374: Jatila undergoes Serona, joining the RSN. Her request to be assigned to Security is granted, and she soon excels in her duties. She is assigned to the Command Fleet ship Ter'ak'aa.

2376: Jatila foils a plot by her immediate superior to assassinate Pivar, commander of the Ter'ak'aa. Following the traitor's execution, Pivar and Jatila become close, and eventually start to discuss the possibility of So'rdaz.

2377: Claha, with his penchant for using family members as pawns, arranges for Jatila's transfer to Federation Station 419-Upsilon in Dulcais Sector, to serve as Diplomatic Guard to the Empire's Ambassadorial delegation there. Jatila soon throws her hat into the diplomatic ring, often acting as envoy for her mentor, Ambassador K'net-mauri.

Proficiencies: Jatila is a keen, observant woman, and has been known to piece together tidbits of seemingly irrelevant information and come up with an accurate picture of goings-on. Socially adept, she gets along well with the lesser species occupying 419-U, even developing friendships with many. She is proficient in tactical, weapons, and communications positions, as well as marksmanship, and superior in unarmed combat.

Deficiencies: As a result of her early years and her mother's death, Jat has difficulty dealing with Cardassians, or "the scum that should be skimmed off the galaxy" as she refers to them in her kinder moments. Jat also has two major secrets that she keeps carefully hidden from her fellow Romulans, lest her career be destroyed and her father disgraced.
