When Captain [[Admiral Aragorn|Aragorn]] married [[Louise Palmer]], the Vegan invited his good friend Captain [[Remae Ktell]] and the crew of the [[USS Spectre]], the ship on which Aragorn had first served and where he had met Louise, to the wedding. Susan met up with Zintel again, he apologised for the way he had behaved, and they made up. Zintel gifted her a [[Bajoran]] friendship bracelet just before the wedding.

After an attack in which she was severely injured, so seriously that the injuries could not be treated aboard ship, she was put into stasis and on their return to the nearest Starbase, invalided off the Boudicca.

Some time later, Susan was told by Aragorn (now an Admiral, and assigned to a small base in a remote part of the Gamma Quadrant) of the machinations of Admiral Doenitz. Warned by her former CO to stay out of it, Susan refused and eventually confronted Doenitz.  Afterwards she spoke to Admiral LoDona and Commander (later Captain) Grailik and discovered that they, too, were suspicious of Doenitz's activities.

''"Sir, I am a Starfleet officer, NOT a lady! I will stand with Lt Nakamura at  Tactical, as his assistant is one of those who have not reported back to the  ship."
''"Really, Captain? I am sorry but I know you. And you know me. And you know  Commander Sevant. And Commander Sevant knows you. Now I think I know Commander  Sevant a little bit, and probably Commander Sevant knows me a little bit. But  on the whole, I'd rather have someone close by that I would know better.  Besides, if I remember correctly, Commander Sevant has earned his spurs in  Tactical, and if anyone would be best suited to occupy the Tactical station,  it would be Commander Sevant. As for you not being a lady... well, let's  pretend, shall we?"''

Assigned as TAC/ASC to the [[USS Boudicca]] under her own former FO, then Commander but now Captain [[Caladryll Sevant]]. However, when the [[Boudicca]]'s FO, Commander West, was badly injured in battle, Captain [[Caladryll Sevant|Sevant]] made Susan his FO, promoting her to Commander.

Susan served as the Boudicca's FO for only two missions before events forced another change. Damage to the ship meant that the crew temporarily transferred to the [[Miranda Class]] [[USS Kitty Hawk]]. Whilst Susan led an away team to recover Colonel [[Eva Straton]] from the planet [[Iradon]] where Straton's shuttle had crashed, the Kitty Hawk was engaged by a [[Cardassian]] vessel, intent on fulfilling their own mission with Dr Jorsad Ari, the Boudicca's acting Chief Medical Officer. In the ensuing fight, several crewmembers were killed. Captain Sevant was injured but returned to the Bridge.
Susan served as the Boudicca's FO for only two missions before events forced another change. Damage to the ship meant that the crew temporarily transferred to the Miranda-class USS Kitty Hawk. Whilst Susan led an away team to recover Colonel Eva Straton from the planet Iradon where Straton's shuttle had crashed, the Kitty Hawk was engaged by a Cardassian vessel, intent on fulfilling their own mission with Dr Jorsad Ari, the Boudicca's acting Chief Medical Officer. In the ensuing fight, several crewmembers were killed and Captain Sevant severely injured.
 
After the mission was completed, news reached the Boudicca of the death of Captain Wolfe, the commanding officer of the USS Champlain. In view of the fact that Dr Caskie had just confirmed that Susan was pregnant, she was ordered to transfer from the Boudicca and take command of the [[USS Champlain]] with immediate effect.
 
===USS Champlain - the undiscovered country===
 
Taking with her several crewmembers to replace those killed in the same attack in which Captain Wolfe died, Susan travelled back to Starbase Geneva to meet up with the [[USS Champlain|Champlain]] and her crew.
 
Those travelling with her include Dr 'Josh' Caskie, and Lt Colonel [[Leonal Drizzt]].
 
Charged with bringing the crew to battle readiness as soon as possible, Susan spent the first few weeks of her new command running simulation after simulation. Finally, the Champlain was ordered to take her place in Task Force 19, which was to be at the forefront of the assault on the MDP, under the overall command of Admiral Sevant.
 
It was during this battle that the Champlain met her end, immortalised in a Rodenberry Award-winning documentary by Hal Stanza, [[The Final Flight of the Champlain]].
 
===USS Rosenante - First CO===
 
Susan and most of her former officers and crew were assigned to the [[USS Rosenante]] - first of her class, and a dedicated explorer.
 
Susan was honoured to be the the first CO of the Rosenante. Few Captains get to be the first Captain of a new ship, and fewer still get to do it twice in their career.  She still has fond memories of the ship and her command of her.
 
===USS Boudicca - returning once more===
 
After the arrest of Captain [[Caladryll Sevant|Sevant]], Susan was ordered back to the [[USS Boudicca|Boudicca]] to take command of her old ship. Travelling back with her family and with her yeoman from the Rosenante as well as the Rose's Chief Nurse, Susan prepares to take the [[USS Boudicca|Boudicca]] on a new voyage of discovery and exploration.
 
Having been redesignated as an explorer and given a refit at the end of the Civil War, the Boudicca has latterly been sent to patrol the area around [[Laatstekans]] Station out on the fringes of the frontier.
 
Already the crew have encountered a new race, the [[Mithgiln]], whose living ships the Shonora form a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with their Mithgiln partners in exploring the galaxy.  The first contact did not go as smoothly as might have been hoped due to the Mithgiln's opposite beliefs to the Federation with regards to contact with pre-warp races. Goodwill was preserved on both sides though, and it is hoped that there will be further contact with the Mithgiln in the not-too-distant future. A full report will of course be sent to Starfleet, but for the moment the crew of the Boudicca look forward to some R&R before their next mission.
 
 
 


===Current assignment:===
On the Kitty Hawk's return to spacedock Captain Sevant was invalided off the ship, his injuries requiring more advanced treatment than could be given on board a starship, and Susan was given command of the Boudicca again.


On secondment to Admiral Ohlsson, Special Ops.
Current assignment: CO, [[USS Boudicca]]

She dislikes children intensely, and strongly believes they have no place aboard a tactical vessel. To say she feels uncomfortable around them would be an understatement. Ironically she has recently become the guardian of two Bajoran children, [[Toral Loren]] and [[Toral Shun]], formerly wards of Sam Kaneshiro. It's hard to know who to feel sorrier for, Susan or the kids :-) Until recently they were in the care of Susan's mother, Lei Janna, on Bajor, but after the Civil War they resided with Susan and her then partner, Lt Colonel [[Leonal Drizzt]] whilst Susan was in command of the Boudicca. Now that she has been reassigned back to Special Ops, the children live with Susan's brother Marc Rivers and his partner, Kalpek Doth.

Leonal and Susan have one daughter, Luisa, born on 2407.08.11. Luisa lives with her father.


Susan makes a true and loyal friend once she gets to know you, but an implacable and unforgiving enemy.
