This month we spoke with Andrea who plays Commander Julia Nielson, First Officer aboard the USS Dauntless, BC-1553.

23, Female, Vancouver, BC, Canada

April 2006.

I’d watched Star Trek since I was little, but hadn’t really become a fan of it until Voyager (had just never thought about being a fan.. if that makes sense). A friend of mine was a returning player, and wanted me to join. I hummed and hawed over it for about a month before I finally caved and joined. I’m glad I did!

When I came up with Julia, I wanted to make her similar enough to me that I could still relate to her to some degree, but different enough that she would give me a challenge. At her core, Julia’s light hearted personality is me, though I’m nowhere near as unflappable as she is. Julia’s hobbies are extensions of mine (I was into music when I was younger, whereas she had it forced upon her), I love surfing though am miserable at it (she’s awesome at it). As well, Julia’s relationship with her Mother is nonexistent, whereas I’m very close to both of my parents. Julia is also very quirky like me. Over the years Jules has been through a lot, and while that’s affected her a great deal, she still tries to remain true to herself.

I actually hadn’t planned much for Julia when I developed her. Now anytime I try to plan something for her, events change and the plans change. Though I suppose I’d always hoped she would become a Chief Engineer, which she did and then some lol.

The people. The community here on FedSpace has by far surpassed any expectations I may have had. Everybody here is so kind, and I’ve made some amazing friends over the years. This summer I participated in the Father’s Day Walk for Prostate Cancer, and so many friends here sponsored me. I was so amazed at everyone’s generosity, I don’t think there’s anyway I can ever thank people enough!! So yes… people = amazing! :-)

I think the only thing I’d add is a FedSpace store. I wouldn’t mind being able to buy ship patches and stuff!

I think I’d name it either USS Columbia or USS Challenger, in honour of those who have given their lives for space exploration.

Time outside of Fedspace? What’s that?.... I just finished 5 years of university (4 years for my degree, then an extra year of torture –just for fun!) to become a publishing specialist, which is basically putting together books, magazines, and the like. In my “free time” I cartoon, read lots, kayak, watch movies, and generally act silly.

I always liked Enterprise.

I have to go with First Contact, though that’s mainly for the humour. “Assimilate this!”

Warp flight! I wanna see the universe, darnit!

Trek has always sort of been apart of my life, so I can’t even define when I first fell in love it with. Though I think it has to be the optimism that we can reach the stars if we work hard enough for it and have faith in ourselves to be able to accomplish such a feat.

I don’t think I could just name one, as there are so many people who I would like to meet.

Good question... I think I have to say RAdm Bill Gillenwater. To be Superintendent of the Academy, then CO of the Yellowstone, which are serious positions, yet still be able to make room in his life for someone as silly and rambunctious as Abby Taylor, I think he would be an interesting person to talk to. I bet he would have some good stories to tell!

It’s been a lot of fun so far As much as I hate to say it, war happens. When it does we have to be ready to face the consequence. Most of the time that is to stand up for what you believe in, whether that’s to fight or not. . I think it’s given everyone a lot of things to think about, even if their characters weren’t involved in the plot. Julia had to see a place she considered home be over taken by Romulans, and then be told she couldn’t be apart of the team to retake Sierra-18. This is something that will haunt her for a long time, which makes for great character development.

I’d like to stick around FedSpace a long, long time. It’s a lot of fun and I’ve made some really good friends here. As for Julia, I wouldn’t mind seeing her find her Mister Right and settle down. But like I said, every time I try to plan something for her, events change or she changes. I’m excited to see where the road takes her next.

That I don't live in an igloo?? Hehe actually, I'd like them to know that I love meeting new people, so if you'd like to add me to MSN I'd love to chat :D

===Star Trek Log One and Log Two===

Rating: 0/5 and 0/5

[Star Trek Log One]<br />

Three exciting episodes from television’s most popular science fiction series! Complete in this volume.

The Infinite Vulcan. A survey mission had brought the crew of the Enterprise to a new world on the fringes of the Federation – and a race of plant men led by a mutated human was determined to keep them there!

It’s not often that I find a book that I cannot finish. This is largely because I hate spending money on a book, then letting that money go to waste – I bought the book, I’m going to read it! Unfortunately I fell into a book slump. It seemed like all the books I picked up were garbage. My complaining about this fact got to the point that my bookstore coworker told me it was enough, and that I should just stop reading books that I wasn’t enjoying – why put myself through the unnecessary torment?

===Endeavour Returns Home===

[[Christie, Rachel|RACHEL CHRISTIE]]<br />

Stardate 20908.01

The mission took astronauts to the International Space Station and saw five spacewalks, the installation of a new platform on the ISS, new fuel sources, stocking up on spare parts, and the replacement of equipment. The astronauts on board the Endeavour and ISS celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with a celebratory space walk. While the mission was a success, it did have its own rough patches, including a piece of debris falling off a fuel tank during liftoff, an overheated air-purifier, and a flooded toilet.
