Starbase Republic focuses on the characters inhabiting the joint Federation-Romulan station and their relationships in the year 2380. The main characters inhabiting Starbase Republic are;
Captain Jason M. Craz,
Commanding Officer, Human
An officer in his early forties, Jason
is a veteran of the Dominion War and a tough cookie. He slowly is
transitioning from being a soldier to an explorer, having led several
anti-pirating expeditions and considering that the end of his combat
career. Over all, he comes off as a friendly, warm fellow who takes
in his crew as children or close friends, but has some definite rough
patches.
Commander T'Lessa,
XO/Chief Science Officer, Vulcan
The first officer of Starbase
Republic is a relatively young Vulcan woman, aging in her late
sixties. Her appearance of a cold, logical Vulcan perfectly meets her
insides. She serves as a counter to Craz's sometimes impulsive
command style, believing there to be a rational explanation and
solution for everything.
Rhiana t'Valdran, Romulan Liaison
Officer/Strategic Operations Officer, Romulan
The Civilian
liaison between the Romulan Tal Shiar and the crew of Starbase
Republic. She serves as a commander for all Romulan troops in the
area, wielding her power as a member of the Imperial Royal Family,
which currently holds the throne of the Empire. Her Federation
Standard carries a bit of a ch'Revellion accent (somewhat
resembling an Earth Russian). She has a loose friendship with some of
the crew, and a romantic relationship with Captain Craz.
Lieutenant
Olis Neemar, Chief of Station Security/Tactical Officer, Trill
Olis
Neemar is the fourteenth host to the Neemar symbiont, a long-living
worm of four centuries. Olis comes from a police background, called
into Starfleet when Trill joined the Federation and has settled into
the position of the head of constabulary on Starbase Republic. On
duty, she works casually with a friendly sense to anyone she meets,
even suspects. Off the job, she lives decadently, drinking and
following her impulses of romantic conquest. She is an incredibly
flamboyant individual, enjoying life to the fullest.
Lieutenant
Leya Shaw, Chief of Station Operations, Bajoran
Leya Shaw is the
head of engineering on the station, and considered to be one of the
most ingenuitive in Starfleet. She is a Bajoran of more secular
beliefs, not worshiping the Prophets but still respecting them. She
does not wear an earring, having destroyed hers some time ago in an
argument. A small rift stands between Leya and Captain Craz, stemming
from that same argument. She is currently married to Patrick Shaw.
Counselor Laurina Morganth, Station Counselor, Betazoid
The
reserved persona of Laurina Morganth, station counselor, is one that
many of the crew find to be a comforting ear and a friend who many
come to with problems. She uses her telepathy with high morals, never
intentionally looking into others' thoughts without their direct
permission. Her professional air and cool with is one that playfully
clashes with Olis Neemar's, the counselor being the teasing center of
affections of the Trill.
Major Patrick Shaw, Head of Marines,
human
Patrick Shaw is a member of Starbase Republic's crew as a
matter of chance. He was born in 2004, and a temporal dislocate.
Originally, he was a pilot in the United States Marine Corps, and due
to an accidental intervention by Republic's crew, brought Shaw back
with them to the twenty-fourth century. He currently serves as the
head of SBR's Marines.
Lieutenant Jodi Wilson, Chief Pilot,
Cerva (human in disguise)
Jodi is the head of the SBR piloting
staff, assigned from the T'Kemeril before. She comes off as a
quiet, serious person, but in reality has a secret. She is a sleeper
agent, planted in SBR's crew by the Cerva, a race of pirates. She has
already committed sabotage, and used her position on the station to
cover it up. She secretly despises having to live on Republic, with
only one solace among the crew, Shoy Craz.
Cadet Shoy Craz,
Science/Engineering Cadet, Human/Andorian
At first glances, Shoy
Craz is a short, unimposing Andorian who appears to spend five
minutes less than he should getting prepared in the morning. He is
quiet, unsocial, and usually nervous and awkward in social
situations. He approaches life with a naive curiosity, often times
giving him one of the more positive outlooks on the station's crew.
He is currently filling his junior and senior years in the field,
serving under T'Lessa and Leya in his studies. Nephew to the Captain,
he finds himself at the center of Craz's fatherly attentions, often
trying to help Shoy understand the darker realities of life. Against
regulations, he is having a secret romantic affair with Jodi Wilson,
a commissioned officer.
Kimberly Patterson,
journalist(Federation News Service), Human(or as close a reporter can
be)
Patterson is a journalist attached to SBR, currently with a
vendetta to find something wrong with Captain Craz, of whom she is
sure is corrupt. She is known to pop up with her holocam crew at the
most inconvenient of times, often provoking Jason to remark his
continued regret of quitting alcohol.
