==History==

Ono Nakamura grew up in his native Japan on [[Earth]] and the oldest of two sons. His father, Hiro Nakamura was a [[Rank|Commander]] with the [[Starfleet]] Diplomatic Corps and was well regarded as a skilled diplomat and peacemaker. His mother was a renowned psychotherapist with a private practice in Tokyo.

As Ono matured, he began to take an interest in Martial Arts. His skill and discipline allowed him to take three martial arts tournament trophies home before the age of 17. He studied Zen Archery, Bushido and Kendo, all of which proved to be a natural fit for him.

In 2384, Ono's father was killed when his shuttle was overtaken by [[Orion]] Pirates during a peace negotiation. Ono grieved, but determined to follow in his father's foot steps and join [[Starfleet]].

He applied to and was accepted to the [[Starfleet Academy]] the following year. Originally, Ono had intended to become a first contact specialist or diplomat like his father, but he simply had no talent in it. Instead, it was discovered that his true skill was in engineering. despite the fact that Ono did not particularly care for the discipline, he grudgingly accepted his aptitude and under the guidance of the academy instructors managed to graduate 36th in his class in 2389.

He was assigned to the USS Avenger (NCC-635447) as a junior engineering officer. There he developed a love of [[Bajoran]] art and cooking. He did well in his assignment and was slowly promoted until his transfer to the USS Providence (NCC-76037) in 2391 with a change of position to Assistant Chief Engineering Officer.

Aboard the Providence, he served with distinction when the ship was ambushed by a squadron of [[Orion]] Pirates. When a direct hit to the main engineering bay threatened to destroy the ship, Ono sprang into action and prevented a Warp Core Breach, saving the lives of the crew of the Providence. For his actions he was awarded the Medal of Distinction in late 2391.

The following year, Ono, once again transferred, this time, to the [[USS Medea]] (NCC-81901), where he reached the rank of [[Rank|Lieutenant]] and the Position of Chief Engineering Officer. 

In 2393, the USS Medea was exploring an uncharted section of the [[Beta Quadrant]] and disappeared. After months of searching, the Medea was declared lost with all hands.

==The Irlixian Mission==

That however was only the beginning. The Medea had instead detected the presence of a pre-warp society on the planet [[Irlix]]. They moved to investigate and to conduct cultural surveys of the planet, in anticipation of a future first contact between the [[Irlixian]]s and the [[United Federation of Planets]].

Ono was selected to participate in the away team mission and was sent planet side along with other members of the away team which included [[Rank|Lieutenant]] [[Helen Baker]]. The away team members had all been cosmetically disguised to appear as Irlixian natives.

During their mission however, some unknown tragedy struck the Medea and it crashed into the surface of the planet killing the crew aboard her.

For three years, the Away team maintained a low profile in keeping with the premise of the Prime Directive. This was despite the fact that the crash of the Medea had sparked a world war over her technology.

==Khoda Rhone==

Eventually Ono couldn't take it any longer and decided that it was his moral obligation to correct the imbalance that the crash of the Medea had caused. Against direct orders from the Away Team commander, Ono, in his native guise of Khoda Rhone managed to integrate himself into the local war effort, where he demonstrated to the leaders of the Gab Union his ability to comprehend and recreate the [[Federation]] technology.

Initially his plans were to simply bring the war to an end, determine what had happened to the Medea and eventually leave the planet and return to the Federation. However, he soon found himself nearly worshipped by the population of the Gab Union and foolishly made a bid for power. 

Finally, from a position of military force he was able to dictate terms of a peace agreement between the warring powers of the planet, and in so doing established himself as the undisputed hero of the Union. He succumbed to the adoration of the population and accepted the position of Supreme Commander for life. He then renamed the [[Gab Union]] to the [[Rhone Union]] and established [[Khoda City]] on the site of the Medea Crash Site.

Now, drunk with power, Ono posed a very real threat to the planet's cultural development. 

The remaining members of the away team, realized that something had to be done. Attempts to rationalize with Ono proved fruitless and eventually it was decided that extreme measures had to be taken in order to safeguard the Irlixian's culture and natural development.

In 2394, the other remaining members of the away team, with the exception of [[Helen Baker]], attempted the assassination of Ono Nakamura. 

They failed.

Ono, in his anger, ordered them rounded up. Eventually they were all tortured and killed during an escape attempt, with the exception of Lieutenant Baker, who was allowed to live unmolested in the top secret [[Seliya Facility]], where she befriended [[Sola Malinae]]. Later Helen would die as a result of a relapse of [[Rigelian fever]], when [[Ryetalyn]] could not be synthesized to keep the disease in check. 

Realizing that he could never return to the Federation now, Ono, became completely consumed by his alter ego Khoda Rhone and set out to unify the planet under his control.

Always paranoid about the potential arrival of another Federation Starship, Ono put into place a series of traps in an attempt to detect them. When the [[Irlixian]]s launched their first warp capable [[starship]] in 2403 and were attacked by the operations team of the [[USS Champlain]], Ono was quick to implement his own Cyber-offensive capabilities.

In 2413, when the [[USS Bohrs]] was detected, despite her [[Cloaking device]], Ono ordered the ship seized. He managed to launch a successful cyber attack which brought down the ship's computer and allowed the military of the Rhone Union to capture the vessel.

The Bohrs was taken as a prize ship to the [[Seliya Facility]]. Later he ordered the Commanding officer of that ship, [[Rank|Captain]] [[Sarah Brightman]] executed.

Little did he know that the [[USS Rosenante]] would be dispatched a few days later to rescue the crew of the Bohrs. Not only would they be successful in recovering the crew from the Bohrs, but they would also manage to unveil Nakamura and arrest him for violation of the [[Prime Directive]].

Further work by Captain Salid and the [[Federation Diplomatic Corps ]] would also further aid the [[Irlixian]]s in developing a planetary government that would later allow them to join the interstellar community a a Federation Protectorate.
