-**Backstory**-
Captain Hayvna Vevva's origins are steeped in both tragedy and mystery. Born to Laura and David Harkness, she was destined to follow in her mother's footsteps as a captain in Starfleet. Laura served as the esteemed Captain of the USS Galaxia, instilling in Hayvna a deep respect for duty and exploration. However, her life took a dark turn when her father, David, betrayed the Federation under circumstances that remain shrouded in secrecy. This betrayal fractured their family, leading to a series of catastrophic events that culminated in the destruction of her mother's ship and the loss of Hayvna's childhood.
After the loss of her parents, Hayvna was thrust into the foster care system, where she faced the challenges of growing up alone and without a sense of identity. Eventually, she was taken in by an Orion family, the Vevvas, who provided her with a new surname and a semblance of stability. Starfleet sealed her childhood records, erasing her middle name, Charlotte, and her original last name, Harkness, in an attempt to shield her from the dangers that lurked in her past. This added an air of enigma to her upbringing, leaving her with unanswered questions about her true heritage and the reasons behind her father's betrayal.
She did not get along well with Thevi, her new foster sister and she never understood why. The tension between them shaped her early years, making her determined to carve out her own identity. As soon as she was old enough and had graduated high school, she enlisted in Starfleet Academy in honor of her mother, unknown to most people except her appointed mentor, Admiral Xavier Alegre.
While at the Academy, she became good friends with a young Vulcan medical cadet named T'lirri after Hayvna was injured in an accidental misfire of a phaser in practice. The two hit it off rather quickly and it wasn't long before they became inseparable. 4 years later, Hayvna graduated from the Academy in the top percentile of her class and was moved to serve aboard the USS Star Chaser as an Ensign.
Her life took a tragic turn when she lost her left arm in a Klingon attack on the USS Star Chaser, a harrowing experience that claimed the lives of many of her crewmates. As one of the 34 survivors, she vowed to honor their memories by becoming a strong leader. Her mentor and a young Ensign named Bellatrix De la Rouche rebuilt her arm, and she worked hard to get to the top of command.
After two and half years of hard work, Hayvna was rewarded with captaincy and given command of the USS Arsenal, a Constitution-Class starship. She was then given a 7-year mission and control over who would serve aboard her ship. Now, as Captain of the USS Arsenal, she leads an all-female command crew, breaking barriers and proving that strength comes in many forms.
