Character Biography

Verity Penda Aphelion started her career in the transporter room of the Enterprise on its early five-year mission, under the command of James T. Kirk and the supervision of Scotty Montgomery. After the reassignment of the crew on the original U.S.S. Enterprise, Verity returned to the Starfleet Academy, arriving with a highly regarded recommendation from the Enterprise’s First Officer Mr. Spock himself, and advanced her studies in science. Her purpose for getting trained in science was due to the many strange or unexplainable circumstances she and the crew experienced on the Enterprise and she longed to be trained to properly analyze, observe, understand, and theorize these events. During the years she trained as a scientist she showed an aptitude for biological studies as well as modifying and/or repairing laboratory equipment.
