The U.S.S. Tubman

(Yes I KNOW that’s the Roosevelt but I can’t design ships and this is the closest to what I have in my brain)

Class: Amnesty

Era: 2360s-present

Ships Compliment: 100

Maximum Capacity: up to 250 civilians in addition to crew.

The USS Tubman is part of the crucial but unsung hero ships known as the Amnesty Class. Formerly in the background, Amnesty Class into its own quiet power during the Cardassian and Dominion Wars escorting refugees to safe harbor. Part scout, part soldier, part civilian frigate, part rehabilitation center, all Starfleet. Her crew is light, but her heart is big. The Tubman is a tough as nails, classy old lady. Her post-war mission consists in the breakdown of illegal trafficking of sentient life, the secure escort of perpetrators to rehabilitation, and the distribution of victims back to their families or other places of safety.

The Tubman abides by the 6R Amnesty Class motto

Reconnaissance

Rescue

Rehabilitation

Resolution

Personnel File Dr. Gavvrok, Son of Ghir

Position: Chief Medical Officer Rank: Lieutenant Commander Species: Klingon Gender: Male Date of Birth: 2338 Age: 42 Place of Birth: First City, Qo'nos Height: 1.93 meters Weight: 117 kilograms Eye Color: Hazel Hair Color: Brown Family: Ghir, Son of Hutlh (Father), Khemir, Daughter of Ghor (Mother) Education: First City Institute of Medical Excellence (Class of 2364), Qo'nos Monastery of Tangqa' (Residency ended 2368), *Starfleet Medical (2371)

*Pre-existing qualifications sufficient to transfer to Starfleet Medical orientation/residency upon first outgoing assignment.

Service Record: Ensign, Starfleet Medical Orientation aboard U.S.S. Boudica (2371), Lieutenant Junior Grade, Psychologist aboard U.S.S. Cornwall (2375), Lieutenant, Psychiatric Consultant aboard Khitomer Orbital 3 (2379), Lieutenant Commander., Chief Medical Officer aboard U.S.S. Tubman (2380)

Background Story: Born in the Klingon capital to middle social caste family on Qo'nos. Specialized in "Clarity by Combat", a Klingon originated practice of combat based physical and/or talk therapy dependent on specific styles and disciplines, first Medical officer to officially apply that methodology in a Starfleet capacity. Took a two year leave of absence to formally protest the Klingon-Cardassian War on Qo'nos. As well as to undergo Soul Warrior Ritual for gender transition. Married Lieutenant Commander Evaris while stationed aboard Khitomer Orbital 3. Currently assigned as CMO to Amnesty Class ship U.S.S. Tubman.

Personality Profile: One of the few Klingon Starfleet Officers whose significance is not inherently tied to their political position in the Klingon feudalistic caste system. This is strongly reflected in the officer's general humility, unusual anecdotes on Klingon Honor, and utter disaffection toward inter-House power dynamics. This has been a double edged sword in his Starfleet career. He was diplomatically compelled to temporarily step down as a Starfleet officer during the Klingon-Cardassian war due to his political activism and propensity toward Klingon "peace-punk" counterculture. Reinstated, Gavvrok continues to serve as one of the most well-renowned members of Starfleet Medical currently in service.

Physical Profile: Dr. Gavvrok is of average height and weight for a Klingon male. Unusually light eye coloring and forehead ridge curvature. The tattoo under his right eye signifies completion of Monastery of Tangqa' residency. Piercing allowed by Cultural Permittance Dress Code Clause 23-A as (optional) indicator of Soul Warrior status.

Special Notes: Dr. Gavvrok and Lt. Cmdr. Evaris have joint ownership of two legally registered therapy animals who are considered honorary Starfleet Ensigns. Ensign Hawkins the Vulcan Sehlat, and Ensign Shirlee the Klingon Targ.

Defying Expectations (OC Dialogue Scrap)

Context: Karina my new spunky Human-Caitian hybrid OC, and the recently promoted commander of the U.S.S. Tempest. Her prior role was Chief of Security, Evaris has a very different way of running things than she had.

Karina: I see you’ve requested to transfer out over half the officers out of my old department Evaris. May I ask why?

Evaris: Would it surprise you if I said it was logical?

Karina: No, but I need a bit more detail than the usual Vulcan catchphrase if you get my drift.

Evaris: A fair assessment commander. Computer, raktajino, 2 ounces cocoa butter.

Karina: Isn’t chocolate an intoxicant for Vulcans?

Evaris: *raises an eyebrow and sits back down. He takes a sip without breaking eye contact with her* Would you like one? 

Karina: Why not?

Evaris: Computer, replicate the previous order. To put it simply, I require discretion, speed, and unmitigated trust in my decisions. I removed those I felt did not meet those criteria.

Karina: So you cut the people who you wouldn’t follow you blindly?

Evaris: *chuckles softly* On the contrary, I eliminated those who would. Unmitigated is not the same as unquestioning. I expect independence, improvisation within my perimeters, but not insubordination.

Karina: Strict standards huh? Lieutenant, I know you worked for Starfleet Intelligence, but our people aren’t spies. The Tempest is a Virtuoso, she’s not a fighter.

Evaris: I am well aware, thus security officers who do not think only as warriors would be ideal aboard this vessel correct?

Karina: Yes, but-

Evaris: Permission to speak freely Commander?

Karina: … Go ahead.

Evaris: I am asking you to trust me. If you want to dispute the transfer of specific officers I welcome that discussion. Do not mistake this for a punitive judgement on your shipmates or upon you. Every officer I have suggested to remove will be moving to equal or greater positions better suited to their abilities. You have your standards, I have mine.

Karina: Hm. You know, you’re not at all what I expected Evaris. Forgive me if my previous encounters with Vulcans too heavily informed my impression of you.

Evaris: You are forgiven. I believe you’ll find there is much about me you’ll find inconsistent with your impressions of my people, and with their impression of themselves.

Karina: Cryptic, but I think I got you. Cheers to defying expectations.

Evaris: Cheers.

Personnel File: Zjardona Daro

Position: Captain of the U.S.S. Tubman Rank: Captain Species: Trill, Joined Gender: Female Year of Birth: 2322 Age: 58 Place of Birth: Trill Prime Height: 1.85 meters Weight: 81 kilograms Eye Color: Brown Hair Color: Black Family: Kanisi (Wife, Divorced 2369), Reeza Kellan (Sister, Captain of the U.S.S. Perseverance), Balel Daro (Son, Previous Host, Deceased 2367) Education: Starfleet Academy (Class of 2347), Trill Symbiosis Commission Institute (Complete 2370)

Service Record: Ensign U.S.S. Herald (2348), Lieutenant U.S.S. Alcibiades (2351), Lieutenant Cmdr. U.S.S. Joan of Arc (2358), Commander of U.S.S. Yousafzai (2372), Captain of U.S.S Tubman (2378)

Background Story: Versatile ship and training record, primarily trained in couriering, defense, and emergency medical services, making her uniquely suited for command of an Amnesty Class Starship. Zjardona's career was primarily security oriented, but she decided to change course after the battle of Wolf 359, her son was among the casualties. In violation of Reassociation laws from which the circumstances provided pardon. The symbiont was placed in Balel's mother in order to save Daro's life. Zjardona Daro took an emergency leave of absence from Starfleet in order to train at the Symbiont Commission to assimilate the Daro symbiont, as well as to mourn the loss of her son. She was reinstated aboard the Yousafzai a decorated veteran, her first experience with an Amnesty class starship. She "fell in love with them" and currently has command of her own, one of the oldest and most venerated Amnesty Class starships, the Tubman.

Personality Profile: Highly compassionate and a consummate professional. While a more diplomatic and matronly officer now, her early Starfleet career was defined by bold decisions that harbored a militaristic edge that kept Starfleet on it's toes while she served on the Joan. That fiery disposition has not been lost but instead refined with the arrival of the Daro symbiont. She carries the tragedy of her son's death (and the similar deaths of many of Daro's previous hosts) on her shoulders with strength and grace.

Physical Profile: Average height and build for Trill female, violet tinted brown eyes, graying curly black hair, Trill markings are purple (a recessive trait amongst the species).

Special Notes: The Symbiosis Commission is a bit superstitious and overprotective regarding the Daro symbiont. Daro allegedly has a habit of inhabiting hosts who have die violently in times of war, whether they're soldiers or not. According to Starfleet records, five of Daro's seven previous hosts to Zjardona have died as civilian or military casualties, Daro barely surviving each time. This subject must be handled with diplomatic caution regarding the commission.

Personnel File Umami "Milly" Vermillion

Position:  Chief Engineer Rank: Lieutenant Species: Prismatican Gender: Depositor Date of Birth: 2209 Age: 171 Place of Birth: Mosaic Reef, Iris

Height: 0.84 meters Weight: 31 kilograms Eye Color: Hex Code #0006ff "Deep Blue" Default Pigmentation: Hex Code #f53f0a "Vermillion" Family: #f1c232 "Yellow-Ochre" Ash (Spouse, Brood Carrier), #990000 "Crimson" Iron (Spouse, Gestator), #c90076 "Hot Pink" Cilantro Plant (Spouse, Nester), +8 more (Brood of Prismlings, age 76) Education: Mosaic Technical School of Advanced Mechanics (Class of 2249), Starfleet Academy (Class of 2257), Starfleet Medical (Class of 2310) Service Record: U.S.S. Enterprise, Ensign, Turbolift Maintenance Specialist (2261), U.S.S Heracles, Lieutenant Junior Grade, Transporter Chief (2278), U.S.S. Excelsior, Lieutenant, Jeffrey's Tube Efficiency Specialist (2301), Starfleet Academy, Internal Transport Systems Professor (2377), U.S.S. Tubman, Lieutenant, Chief Engineer (2378)

Background Story: The first Prismatican to join Starfleet after the planet Iris joined the Federation in 2240. A long and illustrious career in 23rd century engineering marked by vast improvements in transporter speeds and turbolift safety protocols for which Milly was the primary architect. Spent a little over a half century as a tenured professor as they and their mates raised their centurial brood of Prismlings to adulthood. Once their children reached adulthood they once again decided to reach for the stars, carrying over a century of teaching skills and transportation innovation with them to the U.S.S. Tubman.

Personality Profile: An incredibly chipper, patient, and polite officer with a long career in transportation, safety measures, and teaching. They have a strong affinity for humanoids, particularly young ones, that sets them apart from much of their culture. As they enter their species' approximation of old age, they seek to spend their golden years exploring the stars as they once did as a Prismling.

Physical Profile: Tall for a Prismatican but on the smaller side of Starfleet participating Federation members. Default coloration is commonly described as Vermillion, and their default scent is what humans would describe as a smokey/fatty scent known as "umami".

Special Notes: Requires complex personal translator equipment due to the Prismatican language's unique nature. As well as personal quarters accommodative for amphibious life. Side Note: I would like @plaguedoctorsnake for being partially responsible for this OC through their Pike x Reader request resulting in my fanfiction "Color Coded"!

For the soft OC asks 🥰

Chief Milly

3,7,17,22

Originating from This Ask Game, feel free to participate! Soft OC asks for Chief Umami Vermillion coming right up!! Please reblog if you enjoyed!

Chief Milly!

How does your OC React to affectionate gestures?

Jhadima Answers: Oh my gosh!! I'm not trying to be belittling when I say this because, I mean, I know better because other than them I am the shortest crew member aboard. Believe me I checked the ship's database, and they ARE senior staff so it would be disrespectful to say so but if I have permission to speak freely? They Are So CUTE!! One time I gave them a kiss on the forehead because they did me a HUGE favor and they just, they wiggled! Sometimes they go "oh gracious me!" or "goodness!" or something like that. They said thank you which I know is like, an earth mint smell and turning bright yellow. But this time, this time this time this time! They did this thing with their mouth(?) that made a little *pop* sound like blowing a kiss back! They're the sweetest, I love them.

What makes them blush?

Jhadima Answers: They don't really blush, I mean, they change color but not like we do, they do get flustered easy! Usually, even though they've been doing their job for like, a billion years, any time you tell them they're doing a really good job, or just, like, go even a little out of your way do something nice for them. They get all mushy like it's the first time anybody ever complimented them in their whole life! So it's really not that hard to make Chief Milly get all minty on you. *giggles*

Do they have a comfort food, who makes it best?

Dr. Gavvrok Answers: I normally do the cooking whenever it's time to pull together a warrior's banquet for the senior staff. Ashayam- Commander Evaris has many talents but cooking is not one of them! Milly's got the taste of a Klingon warrior, I only wish the rest of the crew's taste would gain their courage! There is this deep sea eel worm delicacy from their world that is reminiscent of Gagh. Now, my family and I take Gagh very seriously, I am the only member of my family that hasn't made a career out of it to put it lightly. But it reminds us both of home, it's one thing to only be able to make such things for yourself, but two is an excuse to challenge the replicator a little! They've told me while it doesn't taste exactly like home, they enjoy the twist inherent to my people's culinary style even more! Which I am very honored to hear.

Who knows how they like their favorite drink best?

Counselor T'Wan Answers: Prismaticans are amphibious, hydration is a constant and crucial need when a member of their species is spending extended time out of water. Prismaticans do not drink so much as breathe and absorb. They order a diffusion of oceanic minerals and a flora local to their home called "the breaching sunleaf" in bulk from the Hearth's Call replimat and have it sent down to engineering. They prefer it at about 26 degrees Celsius, same temperature as the water in their quarters. They often ask that I diffuse it myself, a common request from individuals of a more sentimental disposition. It brings them joy, a crucial emotion to the homeostasis of many non-Vulcans, which is the goal of my position here. Do you wish me to further digress on this topic? Or may I leave to continue distributing positive neurochemical responses to my patrons?
