Caladryll Sevant

Captain Caladryll Sevant is the Commanding Officer of the USS Boudicca.

"Attention all hands. Most of you are unaware of what exactly has been going on in the Federation over the last year; I've kept it that way on purpose. But now is the time, it should be obvious that we're heading back into Federation territory under arms."

"Admiral Doenitz has declared himself President Doenitz and he has instituted invasions and forced takeovers of several core worlds. He has declared war against our own. We can no longer stand by on the fringes, the fight is over our homeworlds, the people dying are our own friends and family, those we swore to protect. We can not allow this to happen any longer. Our duty prevents it. Our conscience prevents it.

"LoDona has ordered us, our Task Force, and all available personnel to engage Doenitz's forces with all due prejudice. Not to avenge those already lost, but to save those destined to die if this regime is left unchecked. Doenitz will find it difficult, if not impossible, to maintain occupation forces for the core worlds with the Rebel fleets and the Klingons invading after more then a year of defensive actions on the fringe. And make no mistake; there is more then one fleet. The 52nd is no longer alone in this endeavor; other Fleet Admirals have rebelled and are going to war to free their homeworlds and people. The Klingon people have also declared war and have joined our side. We are not alone, and thus neither are our friends and family in the Federation."

He looked at the chronometer, "As of 0723 hours today, USS Boudicca is going to war. One way or another, We. Are. Going. Home."

Author’s Note

Captain Caladryll Sevant

Sevant is my first and oldest character; he was first created before Star Trek: Freedom was even a consideration, back when most of the oldest players were still FGN (Federation Gaming Network). I first put him on paper as my joining character of the FGN in late 1998. That’s six, almost seven, years worth of gaming history… and as such, his history is twisted.

Most of the details I have to gloss over on his official gaming bio, the sucker is just that long, and thus the substance of his life is lost in a series of dates. This is my attempt to write out all the forces which have shaped him into what he is today. Watch for further Author’s Notes within the text that is to follow, which will explain much of the behind-the-scenes concerns.

So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the ride!

History

Pre-Starfleet Life

Sevant was born to a human mother and Vulcan father. His mother was a classical music composer and music teacher, his father a diplomat with the Federation Diplomatic Corps, they met on Earth during one of his fathers many visits to the Diplomatic Center.

He was born on Vulcan, where his mother had elected to move, and spent his first five years in her care as his father traveled the galaxy. This changed in tragedy just after his fifth birthday. And they were, until his marriage, the happiest of his life.

During a short jaunt out-system, on the return journey to home, Caladryll and his mother had the misfortune of being on a passenger liner that was taken by Romulan terrorists opposed to the reunification of Vulcan and Romulus. The only thing Sevant remembers clearly about this time is, after ten hours of terror, the craft coming under attack by Vulcan Defense Forces. The attack blasted a hole in the hull, causing a massive air-rush. His mother, in panic, managed to get Sevant’s belt secured but not her own, and the suction pulled her outside the hull to her death. Her final scream, along with those of a half dozen others unlucky enough to be caught before the emergency force-fields came on, still haunt his dreams. This event also left him marked as a piece of debris cut across his face moments after his mother disappeared, he now has a prominent scar running from the base of his hairline, across his left eye and down to the base of mouth. It serves as a constant reminder of his favorite parent and how she was lost.

So then began his life under the control of his father, who took a one year leave-of-absence to bury his wife and take his son under his wing. T’Valdec was a man who did his best for his son, though the strain of training a half-human son and trying to make him conform to the rigid logic of Vulcan society showed.

Sevant only went on one diplomatic mission, that shortly after T’Valdec’s return to service. It was during that one month set of negotiations that Sevant met Victoria Reighly, the daughter of another Federation Ambassador and Caladryll’s future wife, as a playmate.

Authors Note: Vicki was first played by Sal Hammond, perhaps my first and best friend from my first stint on the Boudicca. More will be found on Vicki when I write up her history, but almost all of Vicki’s habits mirrored Sal’s… right down to her love of Crown Royale on the rocks.

Shortly thereafter, T’Valdec left Sevant’s care and education to a series of Tutors and family members. Often was the time that one of T’Valdec’s personal friends or acquaintances would stop by on leave in order to teach Sevant something specific. One of Sevant’s favorites was a Klingon, a former Starfleet Officer who owed Sevant’s father a favor. This came at a time when Caladryll was particularly ill-at-ease in the rigid society of Vulcan, K’Ratoc was sent to teach the young half-Vulcan self-control. To do that, K’Ratoc trained the boy in multiple forms of Klingon Combat, from bat'leth and mek’leth down to hand-to-hand. The technique worked, Sevant’s hot blood cooled as logic and self-discipline took root together.

These skills were put to the test years later when Caladryll was a teenager. The beloved Klingon had turned up missing months before, and he was standing armed in the Sevant family gardens when Caladryll returned from school. And as though it were a bad murder mystery, the Klingon attacked Sevant. Caladryll always carried his bat’leth with him as a child, he would practice with it at school and had even gone so far as to form a small squad for ‘practice’. Like poker, the Vulcan parents didn’t mind the oddity as it served to teach physical control… the bat’leth is deceptively difficult to use. A battle ensued, in which the Klingon was grievously wounded, and died in Sevant’s arms. Sevant, after years of immersion in Klingon society, bellowed for the fallen warrior… the sound of which brought the authorities. It was later determined that the Klingon had been captured and conditioned to kill Caladryll’s father, who was in the middle of tight negations. The culprits were never caught.

Sevant then attended the University of Vulcan, at age 16, with a Major in Federation History (focusing on Starfleet) and a minor in Race Relations. It was thought that he would follow in his fathers foot-steps, thus it was a surprise when he immediately applied for Starfleet Academy upon receipt of his diploma, at age 20. Many of the basic educational classes he opted out of due to his previous diploma, and he only spent one year at the Academy proper before being moved to the Meridian Advanced Undersea training facility to finish his Starfleet Training. His last three years were spent there, learning tactics, command and other related skills.

Authors Note: That was the basis for the FGN, that our cadets were ‘more’ then your average Starfleet Officer, that they went through advanced training under a mile of ocean in the Pacific and became the Elite… the best of the best. So I’m not just ringing my own bell here, Sevant was exceptional because that was the idea of the game :-)

Nothing significant happened during his college years except for a falling out with his father when he chose to take a Security Major. He spent his time studying, he made few friends, he applied himself to his position with vigor. And all the while he held onto his hard learned ideals of Logic and self-control.

He graduated on Stardate 2403.05.15 and was transferred immediately to Starbase 968 to wait the pleasure of Captain Susan Rivers as Assistant Security & Tactical Chief (TAC/ASC) of the almost-commissioned USS Boudicca.

Serving onboard Nimitz

Sevant’s tour on the USS Nimitz began simply enough. After a short absence (officially) and a dozen+ year absence in reality, Sevant picked up his duties as Security Chief on the Nimitz, which was assigned to the frontier deep within the Beta Quadrant, with Freedom Squadron, and life progressed ‘normally’ for a time.

On the edge of space, however, the Nimitz eventually encountered a Romulan Warbird named IRV Red Claw, also on an exploration mission. Commander Talath, the CO of the Warbird, lulled the Nimitz into a truce for reasons unknown. What followed was one of the bloodiest times in Sevant’s career before the war. The Warbird fired and disabled the Nimitz, and then beamed aboard an invasion-crew with orders to subdue the ship as a Prize of War.

Sevant, Rivers and half the bridge crew managed to escape into the ready room, and then into the Jefferies Tubes, when a full away team landed on the bridge and began firing. All around them people were dying as the Romulans engaged. Sevant and Rivers split off from the rest in an attempt to get to the Sickbay, though they first stopped by Sevant’s quarters to get into his weapons cache. While there, Sevant also grabbed his bat’leth, and then both went through the Jefferies Tubes again until they had reached the area of Sickbay.

While they were there they were engaged by several Romulans at close range, Sevant took a knife cut to the face and a disruptor shot to the shoulder while in combat with them, Rivers sustained a knife-cut. With Sickbay then cleared they began to coordinate the defense of the Nimitz and the retaking of critical areas.

After undergoing a quick regen job on his arm to stop the bleeding of the disruptor strike, Sevant managed to make it down to Engineering with several other security members and sneak in through an upper-deck passageway while the Marines mounted a full assault of Main Engineering. Dozens of Marines died before Sevant and his team could get into the room and start sniping the Romulans who were left.

With engineering secured, command of the ship was theirs again, and the IRV Red Claw withdrew from battle, having spent to many of their crew to go into battle against a battleship such as the Nimitz. After having his wounds fully treated, Sevant began the job of collecting and cataloging the dead crew, along with the dead invaders. Over 130 Nimitz crew were killed, and well over 200 Romulan invaders. It was the single most bloody conflict in the Nimitz’s history.

The ship had also been badly crippled by the Red Claw’s initial attack. She limped home for 5 months at low warp, the Nimitz’s engineers were unable to fix long-range communications or do more then patch the Warp Engines. A long distance probe was launched by the Nimitz with her logs and a message for Admiral Greely on Starbase Geneva. The Nimitz reached Geneva after those five months and immediately began refitting for duty, it was projected that it would take 3 months to make her space-worthy again.

For his actions in the Invasion, he was awarded a Ribbon of Sacrifice, a Squadron Commanders Commendation, and a promotion to full Lieutenant.

Authors Note: This was, to date, the most brutal mission I had ever seen or heard of in the FGN, or Freedom. The FGN/Freedom split came not long after this. Anyway, it set the stage for what would become an increasingly violent set of missions all around the fleet. The Red Claw would make another come-back a couple years later with the USS Spectre.

While at Geneva, there were two attempts to break into the Nimitz by Tal Shiar spies to either steal or destroy the sensor logs carried by the Nimitz, evidence that would link the Romulan Empire to the unprovoked attack of a Federation Starship. The last attempt was the most desperate and ended up with the murder of several individuals from both Starbase Geneva and USS Nimitz. Failing to steal the data, the Tal Shiar agent attempted to sabotage the Nimitz and destroy her, and was only just stopped by the quick actions of Nimitz Security. After his failure to destroy the Nimitz, the Tal Shair agent decided to kidnap Captain Rivers and make a run for the Romulan Empire aboard a previously cloaked Romulan Scout Vessel.

Caladryll requested, and was granted, the temporary captaincy of the USS Mithrandir, the Defiant Class support vessel of Starbase Geneva. The Mithrandir quickly overtook the Scout, but was stopped from retrieving the Captain by the arrival of a Romulan Warbird. Harsh words were traded between the two, after which, Sevant engaged the Warbird. Romulan Warbirds are more powerful then Defiant Class ships, but the Defiants are far more maneuverable, and Sevant’s tactics managed to keep the Mithrandir alive long enough to do heavy damage to the Warbird. It withdrew after ten minutes of combat, leaving the Scout behind to fend for itself.

Commander Caladryll Sevant after his appointment as FO of the Nimitz

The Captain was beamed back aboard, and didn’t regain consciousness until after the Mithrandir limped back to Starbase Geneva. Caladryll offered his resignation to her not long later; he considered it likely that he would be drummed from the service for firing on a ship of the Romulan Empire and perhaps causing a war. His reasoning was dismissed by Captain Rivers due to all the circumstances however; she instead promoted him to Lieutenant Commander and made him the First Officer of the Nimitz as Commander Sovak was forced to depart for other duties.

After all the history with the Romulans, be it his mother, being tortured, his ship(s) being attack and now his captain being abducted. It was becoming very safe to say that Sevant was developing a real hatred towards the Romulans.

It was after this mission that Sevant was finally rejoined by his wife and children. But things were not well; his oldest daughter had not readjusted well to the Universe after their time in the Nexus. She had fallen in with a very bad crowd on earth while visiting Vicki’s parents and had become addicted to a high-ball mix of narcotics. Further, she had become a drug-runner for them, her youth and innocence made her a natural courier. While high, she had attacked Victoria and nearly succeeded in cutting her to pieces. Caladryll had words with her, showed her some of the Romulans he had cut to pieces during the invasion, and told her in no uncertain terms that she would never be allowed to hurt anyone again. She attacked him as well but failed miserably, he later took her to Sickbay where he discovered her addictions, and thus began her detox.

The Nimitz was visited just before she had finished repairs by Admiral Aragorn, former CO of the USS Nimitz and former Commanding Officer of Susan Rivers while she was Operations Officer on the USS Nimitz. He gave her new orders and commandeered the ship for a very special mission. Sevant supervised the loading of 40 civilian scientists, mostly archaeologists and anthropologists, and the ship departed in a veil of secrecy that none of them had ever sailed under before. Aragorn loaded special programs into the computer that controlled all sensor, tactical and Conn systems. It effectively locked the ship from her crew so they would be completely unaware of what was going on. The only information they had was that they were to deliver these 40 scientists to a far away planet, a full week down the subspace river.

However, one member of the crew, Zachary Falthgood, had seen (and used) these types of control measures before and was able to hack into the system. He got into the sensor logs and managed to find that they had a shadow, probably a Romulan or Klingon ship by profile. Sevant very quietly arranged for ships Security, Operations, Marines and Science to be prepared for an invasion. Having just gone through an invasion by the Romulans, the crew took to these preparations with vigor.

The Nimitz arrived at the scene unmolested, And most of the command staff beamed down to the planet to find the scientists who had been there to be under siege by a force they didn’t understand. It was apparently invisible, and it would kill if they wandered to far from camp. The Nimitz’s Marines came under attack by those same forces and several were killed.

During the fighting, Ensign Oynx and Lieutenant Falthgood snuck away in another direction and came upon what they were there to study, the remnants of a gateway system used by the Inchon society (among others). Sevant and Security Chief Nishi Nakamura were tasked to follow and find them, and left approximately 30 minutes later.

Meanwhile, on the ship, an agent of Admiral Doenitz (they would find out later) was on a mission to prevent the Nimitz from delivering her scientists or returning alive. To make a point, this agent blackmailed another crewmember into murdering Sevant’s wife and two kids. It was also found later that this crewmember had also murdered Sevant’s unborn twins, Vicki had been pregnant again. Sevant felt the severing of their connection on the planet, and following a strong telepathic message by the Counselor informing him of what happened, went crazy, setting his phaser to level 16 and cutting trees down by the score, yelling, screaming, and then finally going silent. Nakamura forced the issue and they returned to base camp, Sevant was little more than a vegetable at this point.

When they were finally able to beam back to the ship, as they had been blocked by a T’Kon/Ichon Guardian, Sevant was able to read from the Counselor that the murderer of his family was still alive and flew into a murderous rage. He stripped security of access so they couldn’t stop him and made way for the brig, disabling several security guards in the process. He beat the blackmailed Officer nearly to death before reason seeped into his mind, that officer went to sickbay and Sevant was locked in the brig pending a conversation with the Captain. See: The Sevant Murders

He again tried to resign, having believed that he had lost everything left in attacking that crew member, but again his resignation was denied. He was promoted to Commander for various reasons, though he paid no attention to it. The Nimitz was headed for earth in order to talk personally with the head of Freedom Squadron and the 52nd Fleet, Admiral Robert LoDona.

Authors Note: Burial Grounds, the archeological mission, is what set the stage for our current Civil War. This was the first real mention of the Brotherhood, or of Admiral Rodrigo Doenitz. I would later go on with Falthgood, writing up a hell of a dark history to Doenitz and the Reverse Technologies group. And, as direct result of this, LoDona would begin an investigation that would end up with the 52nd pulling back and declaring war. Further, it was the start of Sevant’s delve into black depression following the death of his family, those who were telepathically linked to him, his last surviving loved ones. I was going through my own issues at the time; I wanted an outlet for my own black despair.

Sevant took his duties back after many months of compassionate leave, just in time for LoDona to declare Doenitz a traitor and pull his fleet out beyond territory long explored by Freedom Squadron.

They took up patrol while the fleet regrouped, along with several other ships from Freedom Squadron. Sevant slowly worked back into his duties. After a couple weeks they came across a strange set of readings from an unstable part of space. It was quickly decided not to risk the ship, so a runabout was prepared with Sevant in charge, along with Falthgood as a Subspace expert, the Counselor, and the Security Chief. They began a set of sweeps of the region looking for the source of the unusual readings they had discovered, and were quickly pulled into a subspace anomaly that lead them into a mirror universe.

They were abducted and their ‘doubles’ launched back into Sevant’s home universe. Sevant and his crew, meanwhile, were repeatedly tortured and questioned. After a couple days, another captured Captain, Captain Sash, managed to free the whole crew and take them back across to their universe. They found the Nimitz in chaos, having been taken over by the Mirror Universe officers. The ship was eventually cleared of their influence and two large ships full of troops and crew, meant to man the Nimitz, were destroyed before they could get close enough to beam over.

Captain Rivers had been injured in the scuffle however, and Sevant assumed command until she could recover. His temporary captaincy was cut short, however, by orders from Admiral LoDona. Sevant was promoted to full Captain and given command of the newly reactivated USS Boudicca. He was further ordered to hand command of the Nimitz over to Captain Sash and transport Captain Rivers to Starbase Geneva for further medical attention.

And so he bid farewell to his home, where he had gained and lost so much, and went to rejoin the Boudicca.

Authors Note: ‘Through the Looking Glass’ was fun, we got to play our dark and dirty sides. Since this bio is about Sevant and not just ship history, I can’t really say much of what happened on the Nimitz, Sevant was stuck on the wrong side of the looking glass for that. Though you will never know just how tempting it is. >:-)

Serving onboard Boudicca (Tour 3, Current)

Sevant took command of the Boudicca on Stardate 2606-06-07, but the ship wasn’t ready to launch. She had been rushed through her refit, in which she had gotten several weapons upgrades, a holographic main screen, and an interactive Tactical holo-command suite. Sevant was given two weeks to get her up to speed before he would have to start patrolling the border, to protect the 52nd fleet while they relocated to an area much further beyond the old explored grounds of Freedom Squadron.

His Captaincy kicked off to a rocky start when the Boudicca was found to have been infected by an altered version of the Marine BDU Nanites, maliciously put into place by agents of Admiral Doenitz. The Boudicca wasn’t the only ship affected, but the Boudicca was also on a skeleton crew at the time and it was a long time before they could bring the infection under full control.

Once that was done, however, she left after taking on crew for her two week shakedown cruise. What should have ended up as an easy fix-it cruise ended up turning into a nightmare after the Boudicca answered a distress call and came upon the remains of a civilian science vessel. The ship was a hulk floating in space with only a few compartments left with air and frame integrity. Sevant sent an away team aboard, mostly comprised of Marines, and that away team rapidly came under attack. At the same time, an enemy ship of unknown affiliation arrived and began pounding the Boudicca, which was hardly in position to fight back. What followed was an invasion by what have since been designated ‘psi-ders’, apparently mechanical creatures that responded and fed on psychic emanations.

A long battle ensued, Sevant fought especially hard as the psi-ders were attracted to his telepathic ability, and the ship was cleared of these invaders at high cost. High enough, in fact, that Sevant was forced to put the ship back into drydock for three months worth of repairs.

Near the end of his refitting he met with newly promoted Captain Winters as she took command of the USS Mystique. It had been then-counselor Winters who had counseled him through his troubles after the death of his family. By way of parting, he wished her luck and asked the same in return, that he should do his job well enough that she and her new ship would not need to see combat.

After the refit was finished and the Boudicca was fully operational, they were again put out on patrol. The fleet had already moved, so their new patrol zone was territory that had only been vaguely mapped. The Boudicca was given the task of mapping as they could, placing sensor pods on the Subspace River to watch for invasion, and to look for possible allies on the fringe. Sevant used this time to train his crew, but that training was cut short when they exited the river near a large multi-anomaly and were beset upon by two Defiant Class vessels.

Captain Caladryll Sevant in Combat

The attack knocked out their engines, and the Boudicca was quickly sucked into the event horizon of the multi-singularity, which was being fed by rubble from a destroyed planet in a nearby star-system. Time slowed as they traveled further into the anomaly, and it was only quick work by Chief Engineer West that allowed them to turn their nose, fly ‘around’ the inside of the anomaly, and exit again. But once they had exited, they discovered that a specific mineral combination from the planet rubble, interacting with their shields, had actually created a time-travel scenario and they had traveled hundreds of years into the past. The planet which had been destroyed in their present was a fully functional society in the past; there was an entire 1990’s earth-style society in place.

The Boudicca’s scientists quickly discovered what had caused them to time-shift, and they figured out just what kinds and how many of these minerals were needed. So with the cloak engaged, Sevant authorized a retrieval mission for the necessary ingredients so they could return home. This mission included a ‘bank robbery’ because one of the metals necessary was found in greatest quantities in this planets coined money.

While this mission was going on, however, a very disturbing fact came to the attention of Sevant thanks to his astrophysicists. The anomaly had started fluctuating from the passage of the Boudicca, and thus was sending out gravity waves. ‘Ringing like a bell’ was the term that was used by the scientist. It wasn’t dangerous, but it would become so if the Boudicca passed through again. He considered it very likely that it was the Boudicca’s return trip which had caused the destruction and death of the planet and civilization. This was one of the hardest decisions of Sevant’s life, the prime directive and the temporal directive prevented him from staying and changing the timeline as he had found it, but by traveling home he would be condemning the multi-billions of people on the planet to sure-death.

In the end, he chose to preserve the temporal timeline and they traveled back home. The results were as predicted and they arrived back home (two days later than when they first flew in) and the planet was rubble. Sevant swore the scientist to secrecy lest it become common knowledge, Sevant himself told nobody, though he did dictate his decision and the consequences in his personal log… which wouldn’t be opened until 100 years later, for posterity.

The ship continued on patrol afterwards, and after a time, he received a message from Captain Suentar, the former First Officer of the Boudicca. The message appeared to be authentic and promised secrets vital to Admiral LoDona’s success, but only if the Captain arrived alone at one of a series of times. Sevant considered that it might be a trap, but set aside those concerns next to the possible benefits of such a meeting, if true.

He left orders for his absence, which should have been near 24 hours, and departed in a shuttlecraft. However, when he arrived, he discovered it was indeed a trap. He was captured after his runabout was fatally disabled by Federation weapons fire.

He awoke in captivity, originally highly drugged and in a chamber that very much resembled what he remembered from his captivity and torture on Medial IV. However, the illusion only lasted for a couple of minutes before logic took over and he realized that he couldn’t be in the hands of the Romulans, which was far in the past. The whole situation proved to be nothing more then an illusion created to test his reflexes and ability to cope, in preparation for interrogation by Starfleet Intelligence.

Before he could be more then superficially interrogated, however, he was brought to a temporary base not far from where he was taken and put to Court-martial for the charges of High Treason, Conduct Unbecoming, and a slew of others, all while in a time of war. They even went so far as to refer to him as Commander Sevant, his last held rank before he joined the defection of Admiral LoDona. Sevant fought the issue for as long as he could, including telepathically attacking one of his guards, but the mock-trial went on regardless and he was found guilty and sentenced to death in three days time.

One day before he could be tried, however, he was released from prison by a combined Nimitz/Boudicca extraction team which had battled their way through the temporary base. They quickly got him off the planet and onto the ship, from whence they sped back into controlled territory and into relative safety.

Authors Note: This is another one of those things where I really can’t say much about what went on out of Sevant’s sight. This mission was a Joint Mission between the Nimitz and the Boudicca, just imagine six months of wild posting… it was interesting. I will be describing what happened in more detail in the Boudicca history.

Sevant recovered from his time and interrogations and the boarder patrol continued until Admiral Doenitz declared himself President Doenitz and began forcibly attacking federation worlds suspected of harboring rebels. This was the final straw for all concerned, and Admiral LoDona ordered that a Task Force be formed around the USS Boudicca with Sevant as the Commodore. Boudicca was ordered to a near-by planet to rest and gather supplies for 2 weeks while Task Force 2 formed around them.

Authors Note: see Federation Civil War.

Just before they arrived at the planet, the first of the federation ships arrived as part of his task force and brought with them some much needed crew replacements. What was surprising about this is that Sevant felt a tugging on his mind, and he was called to the shuttlebay after the crew had arrived. Once he had gotten down there he was in for the single biggest shock of his life, his mental bond with his wife which had been so cruelly severed snapped back into place as he beheld a woman who was, but couldn’t be, his wife. They touched each others minds and discovered that she was from an alternate-universe, one exactly the same as his except for one significant fact: Caladryll and the kids had died in her universe, rather the Vicki and the kids. Sevant, completely unsure how to deal with this, broke away and left Vicki in the care of the quartermaster so they could proceed with the mission.

Authors Note: This was more than just my way of bringing back his wife sans kids. It took root on the USS Mystique, in a mission that dealt heavily with a temporal rift. The Mystique saved 20 people off a ship that was trapped in that rift, beamed them off before the ship was destroyed. Victoria Sevant was one of 6 major ‘dead’ characters that was beamed aboard, also included was Winter’s ex-husband David Dark. I decided to take this opportunity to screw with my PC’s head a bit. I mean, think about it… she was enough his wife for the unique, never to be duplicated bond to reform, but IS she his wife? This is a question I expect to wrestle with for many many months. Katherine Mazurok is/was unable to play the position, so I’m playing her myself, but the possibilities are still very real.

While at this planet, which boasted a very small stone-age population, Sevant set up a full rotation so all the crew could spend as much time as possible on the planet, either for R&R or so they could gather fresh supplies for what was likely to become a very hard set of months. Things did not go well at this tropical paradise however, and communication was almost immediately cut off between the ground forces and the Boudicca. The crew of a crashing runabout told the story of how an energy web had formed around the ship, forming something approximating a shield.

Some of his crew was attacked at near the same time by some locals, all of whom wore bits of advanced technology and preformed technological feats they referred to as Magic. By all indications, these inhabitants were living on the site of a former Inchon or Iconian civilization, and his crew had landed in the middle of what could only be called a War. Sevant was contacted by several of the ‘good’ natives, and after several of his crew was abducted, he made the decision to storm the enemy stronghold and use his ‘magic’ to bring an end to (at least) this part of the conflict.

Authors Note: About time I had to disappear for a few months, so I did almost nothing to guide the mission. Thus, Sevant had almost nothing to do with how it all turned out, more’s the pity.

After a hard battle, the crew was rescued and it was discovered that the controls for whatever was holding the Boudicca were also present, so they managed to put it out of commission and within minutes every crewmember was back on the ship. Sevant took command, ordered that all supplies be beamed to the Boudicca, and then declared the planet unfit for habitation and requested that supplies be sent via convoy.

For two weeks the fleet gathered and Sevant began preparing for war. While he did so, he also, inexplicably, began ignoring logic and visiting his ‘wife’ again, so who knows what will happen next... From this point on, we’re in our current mission, and the history will be written after it is over

Sevant likes to discuss matters of security or history with anyone competent in the fields when time permits.

General Notes:

Sevant Is a follower of Sybok, so he does not fear Emotion and does actively seek it out upon occasion. However, he does not feel as most Sybok Followers, that logic is inherently evil, and places himself in his long-remembered logical state whenever he must have a clear mind.

He was married to former Boudicca Crewmember Vicki Reiligh. And had two daughters by her, before thier murder. He is still deeply bitter at the loss, and utterly ruthless to murderers, a useful trait in the current civil war.

After being injured and watching his Mother die at Romulan hands, and after having been Tortured during the 'Ael Deletham' Affair, and after having been injured and fighting back a Romulan invasion group from the Nimitz... Sevant has begun to have a very real hatred towards Romulans as a race and people. He considers them barbaric, and nothing more then beasts looking to make war on his government and family.
