Persona #1

Bre T'Riellis [Brian Pickett] Force Admiral 234509.23 Northern Wastes, Andoria MFS Aquila, Zone 9 201406.15 to Present MFS Aurora, Zone 9 201005.25 to 201406.15 Director, Special Security Division 201205.10 to 201501.20 Maquis Charities Task Force Member 201010.15 to Present Zone Nine Coordinator 201203.20 to 201501.20 International Coordinator 201501.18 to Present

In 2390, Breimh took command of the MFS Aurora (NX-97000) after Captain Sephron of Vulcan was killed in a battle with Tholian Webspinners, while trying to defend a Gorn Cruiser. Later that year, it was Breimh's efforts to broker for peace with both the Gorn and Tholian that brought the Gorn Hedgemony into the Federation, and later enlisted the help of members of the houses within the Hedgemony to assist with the efforts of funneling supplies and information to the Maquis.

Col. Breimh T'Riellis noticed the structure of the Maquis, he saw the deterioration and thin defenses within; realizing it was ripe for exploitation he stepped in to offer assistance. Making the most that the universe had to offer, Breimh also managed to gain the alleigance of the Caitian people in 2394, foiling an attack by the Dominion, ensuring the last vestiges of the SSD and Coordinator's Council were safe from collapse from within. Through these efforts, and the gratitude of the Council, the Aurora became the flagship to lead the ranks of the Special Security Division.

Through his actions, Breimh tackled the mission to rebuild the SSD, recruiting valuable Officers and enlisted members within the ranks of MFI, sweeping in where ever the safety and sanctity of life might be in danger within the Maquis Territories. Some presumed that Col. T'Riellis might have had some hidden agenda, particularly with the training of new recruits within the SSD, especially due to the organization's checkered past. But he has - over the course of time - shown the citizens who reside in the Badlands that he has nothing to hide by offering full disclosure on all investigations performed by the SSD. Breimh even works to reassure those who are concerned, making additional changes to the Special Security Division to serve Maquis as first-responders to other emergency and crisis-intervention situations as well as those involving their defense.

Most recently, this heroic Andorian has commandeered a Norway Class vessel from Starfleet, just after being promoted to Force Colonel, with his most loyal crew members. After completing operations of modifying it, both internally and externally to prepare it for border skirmishes, the intrepid crew faced down hordes of the invasive, dreaded Flork population. This vessel, re-christened the MFS Aquila, has become one of the first of a new breed of heavy cruiser for the use and defense of the Maquis Forces.

With another victory over those that would plunder the Maquis for their precious resources, enough popularity has gained for Bre that he recently became the Force Admiral of the Maquis Forces. Racing through the Badlands to where they are needed, the newly minted Aquila and her Force Admiral stand ready to face the challenges that lurk in dark places, waiting to strike.

Persona #2

Nehadi Darkfeather Admiral 235009.22 Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. Earth MFS Aquila, Zone 9 201501.20 to Present Airedale Division Director - 1st MAR Squadron Nehadi's Nightraiders

Becoming an accomplished pilot when he was still too young to join Starfleet, Nehadi was part of Native American people that tried to settle on the border of Tholian space. As his family and people attempted to tame a small area of land on a Class M world, his mother ran afoul of an insectoid lifeform while gathering edible plants; it stung her, causing high fever that induced hallucinations, dehydration and then death. Reeling from the loss, Nehadi and his family struggled on with the rest of their tribe while at the same time having to avoid strafing runs and raiding parties of the Tholian species. Eventually, his father and two sisters were killed while giving he and his younger brother the chance to escape with many others from their village. It was at that time - when he was only 12 years old - that he took the helm of the shuttle his family had traveled in (with his brother strapped in behind him) and instead of fleeing, began to strafe the ground with phasers at every Tholian he could spot moving across the ground. But while he was engaging the enemy on the ground, those above made their web to capture all the survivors trying to flee to the stars.

Waging a one-man war on Tholian ships, for the next two months, Nehadi took care of his brother in the wilds near the settlement ruins, taking the shuttle up above the atmosphere to check for signs of a rescue party and destroy any Tholian ships that happened to spot him. His erratic flight patterns, and anger at being the sole hope to keep his younger sibling safe, being too unpredictable for his enemy to outwit or outmaneuver him. On the day help finally arrived, the USS Calypso witnessed the young pilot take out four Tholian craft with a single sweeping arc of phaser-fire.

When Nehadi was of age to join Starfleet, he took it, but was thrown out during training - not once, but twice - for his anger issues getting the better of him. After a couple of years with the Federation Merchant Marines, the brash pilot once more applied, was accepted with his high marks and exemplary record with the Merchant Fleet. It wasn't long before his pilot training was put to use, and he was made a member of Red Squadron, and even more quickly put on projects involving fightercraft meant to engage enemy ships at close range, in both strategic and tactical strikes.

During the onset of war with the Cardassians, and the Federation occupation of Deep Space Nine, newly minted Commodore Darkfeather was able to finally pilot one of the craft he assisted in the design and did test flights for - the Blackwing Class personal fighter. For the next 6 months, the Blackwing squadron that Nehadi lead drove back the Cardassians from the Federation border in every place they would strike, but other fighters were beginning to gain more backing as the Commodore's single-minded ways came to the fore against this new enemy.

When the Federation pulled back, leaving their own citizenry to the deranged machinations of the alien raiders, Nehadi felt for the plight of the colonists. Having made the rank of Rear Admiral, he went back to the heart of Starfleet to try to argue the case on behalf of these people. Threatened with the loss of his rank and position, he grew quiet, troubled at the way the militant arm of The Federation was willing to throw innocent lives away so easily just to keep a few over-stuffed armchair warriors from having to go to the front lines themselves. Biding his time, listening to news from the region of The Badlands, and working on covert projects that he knew would never be used by those creating them, flag officer Darkfeather began training a special team of test pilots himself.

On the day the Dominion began waging war on the Alpha Quadrant, Nehadi Darkfeather and his personally trained crew slipped the Vendetta testbed project and as many other fighter class vessels (218 in all) from beneath Starfleet's nose where carriers awaited them to dock before going to maximum warp in aid of those who he was certain needed them most, the Maquis. Over the course of the war, and beyond, Admiral Darkfeather has continued to climb the chain of command, training pilots and still sitting in the cockpit to share in dogfights, himself.

On stardate 238301.20, Nehadi Darkfeather was made an Admiral within the Naval Forces over the Airedale Division, a department specializing in the training and duties of flying personal fighter craft for varied missions of the Maquis Forces. His primary duty with the 1st MAR Squadron, aptly named Nehadi's Nightraiders, to fly in attack formation or perform reconnaissance for the Force Admiral's flag ship, the MFS Aquila.

Brian Pickett is a long-time role-player and creative writer who loves socialization and sharing in fun activities as much as he loves to help those in need. His work with charitable organizations began in 1975 when he led his cub-scout troupe in helping to wash and groom pets at the local animal-shelter, began a collection for non-perishable food to needy families at his school and advocating literacy to others (like himself) who suffered from dyslexia by tutoring other students - which in turn started a reading and writing club, with the assistance of his teacher, as an after-school activity.

Brian has worked as a para-educator, and an assistant researcher with those who register in the various spectrum of Autism. And previous to these positions, worked as a Home-Health Care Worker to assist in daily living needs for the terminal and physically disabled elderly population of his community. He has worked in the field of security, and lead his neighborhood watch in two of the communities (cities) he has resided in in his lifetime. Today, he works as a freelance writer and editor, and spends time creating new and interesting ways to encourage fun and charitable activities for his local group of friends who make up the crew of the Aurora, in each of it's fandom incarnations.
