The biography of an STO (Star Trek Online) first officer.

Nickname: Tarah

Real name: Shinkatarah zh'Itmail

Andorian zhen (the child-bearing sex from the 4 andorian gender).

She was born on the andorian home-planet (2383 Old Earth Calendar), in a city-tree in the jungles of the reserve-continent Voral, from the skywarrior clan Itmail. The clans living in the deadly Reserve live just like the ancestors of the andorians, they don't have any knowledge of modern technology, they use Nature as their closest ally, they are the aboriginos of andorian society. The Itmail live in a millena old tree, where they used to tame flying dragons who take their nests in the Cloudy-mountains, which levitate above the jungles and rivers of their home. Tarah was a proud warrior-hunter, a dilligent student of the lore of surviving in the traditional way. As custom says, she was bonded to a sheltreth (a family made from 4 sex), and as a teenager, she was dreaming about living a peaceful life among the healthy members of her 4-gendered family. She was flying above the clouds on the back of the dragons, she was hunting as all her clan-members, she recieved education of the spiritual techings of her people, she even got the tribal tatoo symbolizing the third eye of the shamans.

But there was an accident. A nature-preserving nanoid used to clear the rivers of the Reserve malefunctioned, and Tarah's sheltreth died in the artifical epidemic. She survived only because the antropologists monitoring the Reserve clans in their hidden bases had registered the problem in the last minute, and transported her to a high-tech hospital orbiting Andor, where she was saved. During her stay in the hospital, she recieved brief education about the world outside the Reserve, and because of the family-tragedy, she chosen to remain in the star-faring outside civilization, to get proper education in the universities of his world, to make a carrier as a pilot outside the planet. What people didn't recognised, that she became interested in the ways of Kama-terah, the "Fighters Against the Long Winter" (the Andorian ice-age), the famous eco-terrorist group, who had deep roots in the history of Andoria. During her trips around the Andorian sun-system she made acces to all kind of illegal goods, which she smuggled back to the homeworld, planing with his co-crusaders a big global terrorist act against the andorian government. But Starfleet Intelligence intervened, she was taken in custody, the plan was deserted. During the interrogations she was confronted with one of the agents, who helped to catch her: it was Surányi László S'otvek, the "Táltos", who used his criminal alternate identity Kovakh to get proof of the illegal activities of the Kama-terah. Tarah hated the covert operator because of his traitorious act, but she had no choice in the matter.

But Surányi, then allready a professor at Starfleet Academy, had checked the background of the young wayward eco-activist, and arranged a deal: if Tarah moves to Starfleet Academy to recieve proper education, her involvement in the Kama-Terah plan will remain secret, and she will work as a covert operator for Starfleet Intelligence in the future, as a kind of redemtion for her former misfortune with the high-technical civilizations. Her criminal past remained a close-guarded secret. The only one, who had monitored her every move was Surányi himself, who remained a kind of patron for the wild cadet. Tarah rebelled first, but after plenty of tests and adventure, she recognised, that this is what she was dreaming about. When a few years later Surányi recieved an own ship, the USS Horthy Miklós, he remembered her special pupil, the best pilot of her class, and asked her to be his first officer. This is how a legend was born.

Hobbies: Martial arts, flying with dragons, hunting, botanics, crafting, singing (folk-epic).

Family: Her clan, the Itmail still exists in the Reserve (just a few people had died). However, she had not went back since the hospital-days. At the moment she has another sheltreth commissioned to her by the Andorian Government (the Andorians are a dying race, after all, they need all the genetic strenght they could catch). 3 years ago she had given life to 2 child (identical twins, 2 zhens), but they are raised by the other sheltreth members.
