Personal History		Aer Feshau, born in 2322 and daughter of Elder Council member Crailo Feshau, perceived her life as one of undeserved privilege. Her father, a council member, was held in high esteem among their people and was widely respected for his views on their race's future following The Exodus in 2293. Her mother, unexpectedly pregnant at the age of 671, experienced a rare event. While it was not unusual for an El Aurian to become pregnant up to the age of 900, the frequency of such occurrences had declined for those over 600 as they journeyed in a space convoy, searching for a new home away from prying eyes. Traditionally, primary and secondary education spanned over 40 years, and this tradition was largely maintained, even aboard cramped, dilapidated ships. By the age of 23, Aer discovered their future home, a place called Kaitos. Like any emerging colony, they needed to recruit discreet collaborators. Exchanges typically occurred far from Kaitos to preserve its secrecy. The Council had ruled that their existence should be concealed from the galaxy until they were prepared to rejoin it. Fortunately, they still had some of their tech geniuses, the most notable individuals who were saved when the Borg attacked. These individuals were committed to restoring prosperity to their people. They had discovered a way to conceal the planet, to shift it out of phase with reality so that anyone passing through the system would literally pass through it. Aer would accompany her father to meetings, on journeys to meet other species, and as a result, she developed a network of contacts across the quadrant. Bolians, Nausicaans, Orions, and even Pakleds at times. By the age of 62, Aer's contact list was extensive, though it now featured new players in the same roles. Some were even descendants of her previous clients. Starfleet and the Federation represented ideals that Aer admired, but her father prohibited her from interacting with them. He was aware that her fascination would eventually prevail, but he wanted her to prioritize her people for the time being. And she did, even if it meant operating behind the scenes while he maintained a public persona. In 2384, she enlisted in Starfleet and navigated the Academy effortlessly. Her prior rigorous studies on Kaitos had prepared her well, allowing her to shine academically. Despite her youthful appearance enabling her to blend in as a Human, the medical staff was aware of her El Aurian heritage. She forged enduring bonds with Douglas McLeod, L’Rel, and Bolivar Tuchov. Opting for the Intelligence track, which aligned perfectly with her skills and background, she received an assignment aboard the USS Io as an Intelligence Officer in 2388. Over the next three years, she earned the respect of her Chief, a task not easily accomplished with a Tellarite. In 2391, she earned a promotion to Assistant Chief of Intelligence aboard the Io during their patrol of Romulan space. A skirmish with a rogue Tal Shiar faction inflicted damage on the Io, necessitating a brief evacuation. However, with assistance from a nearby contact, the crew swiftly returned to the ship. By 2395, Aer submitted a transfer request to SB50: Poseidon Station. Her curiosity was piqued by the Aquil, a species new to her and recently admitted into the Federation, prompting her interest in encountering them. Additionally, the transfer was for the senior role of Chief Intelligence Officer, a position she believed she was prepared to assume. As the years moved on Aer took part in many pivotal missions on Poseidon station granting her quick promotion to Lieutenant Commander by 2397. An unprecedented rise in ranks had not been seen in some time but she has since done well to show the rank has been earned and not simply handed out. Also, in early 2397 she married her partner Jack Patton. They lived on Poseidon station until their dual transfer to Faltan Station in 2398.
