Dmitri -- BigBrother

[Veeck]

Name: Commander Dmitri Nechayev
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Race/Nationality: Human. Mixed ethnicity, self-identifies with his Earth/Ukranian background
Position: Lead Tactician

Description: Short, blonde, grey-eyed, slight of frame.

History: Latest in a long line of Starfleet officers, Dmitri Nechayev grew up watching newsvid reports as his grandmother led Starfleet's forces in the Dominion War. He graduated from the Academy, where he showed a high aptitude for fleet-level tactics and battle maneuvers. However, his skills on the people-skills side of leadership were lacking, so it was doubtful that he'd ever get command of his own starship, a necessary step on the road to following in his Grandmother's footsteps and becoming an Admiral. So he chose the next best thing, staff work, assisting Admirals in planning battles and training maneuvers. He spent the first half of the Final Borg War at Starfleet Academy, designing training simulations for the Advanced Tactical Course. As the situation at the front grew desperate, he was sent to the front on the staff of Admiral Dixon aboard the USS Sovereign. The ship was badly damaged in battle and barely managed to escape, and Dmitri was gravely wounded when a Borg cutting beam opened his compartment to vacuum. Sent back to Earth to have new lungs grown, after recovery he was tapped for the Andromeda project as the best tactical officer available at the time, the previous several potential candidates having been sent to the front.

Anything Else?: Grandson of Admiral Nechayev of TNG/DS9 fame.

VERY MUCH UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Dmitri's Staff officers in the Tactical Department:

Sensors department : Lt. Morfan

Morfan is a Benzite, a blue-skinned humanoid race, and is a member of Starfleet. He tends to be overly analytical and perfectionistic. The Sensors Department handles intelligence, scanning, and electronic warfare and countermeasures.

Weapons department – Lt. Sssla

Sssla is a Gorn, a reptilian race. He served in the military of his own species, allies of the Federation but not members. He tends to be aggressive and really, really likes to blow things up good. His love of overwhelming firepower makes him fit right in with Dmitri's favored tactics. The Weapons Department fires the Arkship's weapons in combat.

Navigation Department – Noah

Normally, this slot would be filled by the Helm officer, but as Noah serves as his own helm officer, he sits in on Tactical Department meetings in holographic form.

Fleet Liason – Lt. Commander Kharista Kharenho

Lt. Commander Kharenho is a female Zakdorn, a humanoid race from the edge of Federation space who are renowned as innate master strategists. The Fleet Liason coordinates between the Arkship and the "parasite fleet" of smaller warships carried in the docking bays.

Marines – First Haka'naka

First Haka'naka is a Jem'Hadar, a genetically-engineered race of super-soldiers loyal to the Founders, leaders of what was The Dominion before the Borg conquered it. He is supremely tough, expert at hand-to-hand fighting, and is in charge of boarding parties, anti-boarding parties, and leads any ground-assault missions that may be needed.
