| Personal History | Born in 2354, the second child of a pair of disgusted Trill Doctors she was raised along with her older sister Elewisse, in the Capital. From a young age her parents instilled in her that she, and her sister were expected to achieve great things. The pressure during her formative years meant she isolated herself from friends in order to study and achieve the marks her sister seemed to achieve with much less effort. Accepted into Starfleet Medical school Calista left Trill for Earth, the tensions with the Dominion were rapidly rising and Starfleet was ramping up recruitment. Completing med school, and luckily off world on Tellar for an exchange term during the Breen attack, she was accepted into the residency program and Wowemi General, a prestigious hospital and medical college on Denobula. Her three years here saw her earn commendation from her instructors, at the completion of her residency she turned down a chance to remain wanting to finally serve on a starship. Her older sister had shot up the ranks and despite only being in her late 20s was already serving as the XO of frigate on the front lines, and decorated several times during the war. Aspirations of command, while not entirely lost on the young doctor, but didn't hold the same allure as practicing medicine in the deep unexplored reaches of space. Her first ship posting was aboard the Galaxy-class USS Providence, deployed with Deep Space Task Force 14 the ship spent two years on the 'far' side of Romulan space. Under the command of Captain Bezitrix, the first Benzite Captain in Starfleet. The Providence charted huge swaths of unexplored space and made first contact with more than a dozen new races. In 2380 the ship returned from it's mission, while she loved exploration she also wanted to further her medical training and was accepted into a infectious disease fellowship at Starbase 482, which also served as a key Starfleet Medical centre along the Cardassian boarder region. In 2382 she was made Assistant Chief aboard the Lexington-class USS Buxxin, named for a famed early Bolian space explorer. Three years here would see her new skills put to the test as the Buxxin found itself on the front lines of more than one medical crises. She impressed the Chief Medical Officer and Captain so much that she was promoted to full Lieutenant and assigned as Chief on the newly commissioned Prometheus-class USS Vauxhall. The Cruiser spent two years along the Klingon boarder helping to fly the flag and keep a tense alliance with the Klingons together. In 2387 the Vauxhall went in for a minor refit to prepare her for deep space assignment in the Gamma Quadrant. Aereen joining the crew of the Intrepid-class USS Tro'jor, the ship named for the a major Andorian city was near the end of her life. She spent most of her time between core worlds ferrying dignitaries and coordinating training. She also served as the flagship for Rear Admiral Kylaor Benic, and had more than two dozen cadets as part of her crew. While she relished the chance to teach fresh faced future doctors she missed being on the frontier. In 2389 she requested transfer and was assigned as CMO of Faltan Station that was being reestablished following a near complete decommissioning. |
