Personal History

Sonia was born into a straightforward, hard-working family. Her two parents felt the need to have A child but no more than that. Due to this attitude by her parents, she often felt like nothing more than a gap filler. The household was strict and she was expected to achieve above and beyond in whatever was put in front of her.


This lead to her 'breaking out' when she finished High School. Though her marks hardly faltered it was simply due to her being smart and not so much effort. In turn, she bluffed her way through exams and assignments whilst spending recess being grilled in the principal’s office for some misdemeanor or another.


In her final year a Lieutenant known as Bracks from Starfleet visited the school as part of a Career Pitch to the students. Sonia was taken by the handsome self-assured officer and he didn't fail to notice her. This lead to a sudden affair. Though something always felt wrong and off-center in their relationship to Sonia. In truth Sonia knew she was attracted to the stability that seemed to surround him more than the man himself but she pushed those thoughts aside.


Her parents were concerned, and when the situation was broached around the dinner table one-night, Sonia stormed out. With one backpack filled with random items and no roof over her head, she found herself at Starfleet Academy applying for membership. Crashing at a school friend’s place in the interim. The next week she learned of her acceptance.


It seemed that everything was falling into place. However, upon hearing of Sonia’s sudden career shift, Bracks quickly broke the relationship off. He realised how damaging it could be to his career if certain people caught wind of it. Left without home, family or friends Sonia turned from being the worst student to the most excelling student, throwing herself into her studies. Thanks to her father, who was a lawyer, it quickly became apparent that she had a strong grasp of political economics and cultures. Her ability with words, her inner strength and composure under direct stress and duress pushed her into a fast-tracked career as a military diplomat.


Upon graduation Sonia travelled from one solar-system to the next negotiating treaties, contracts and truces amongst warring factions and feuding nations. At times, her calls and decisions on how to handle these conflicts were controversial. She often pushed the envelope in what was 'expected practice' for a Starfleet diplomat but she never backed down.


In her off time, she would fly attack fighters for Star Fleet at the Academy. It freed her from the stresses of ‘politics’.


During these years she met and married a public servant named Rory Newman. A man who was well known and generally liked in the political arena back on Earth. They met during one of her trips back to the Academy at a gala dinner. While she didn’t feel she loved him, they paired off nicely. Becoming very good friends and strong supporters of each other’s careers. But again, something felt off about the relationship. Like it didn’t fit right.


She quickly reached a point where she had to decide whether to enter active service and take a Command position or resign to a promoted position behind a desk. There was even thought given to her going into public service.


In the end, her love for the stars and discovering new cultures and ways of life pushed her hand and had her accepting her first Command. She was tired of diplomacy and politics and longed for something more. Star Fleet gave her the central seat of a small diplomatic vessel mostly docked at Starbase Bravo. It was far removed from what she had hoped for. As such, when the opportunity came up to join a Flotilla under the banner of the USS Titan, Sonia pulled 'heaven and earth' to change assignments, as she was itching to break free from diplomacy and see the front lines.


During this time on Bravo, Sonia also had an affair. The affair was with a young woman who ran a café in the Promenade. Abbie Contreras. A woman that stole Sonia’s heart and for the first time she understood the feeling of true and responding love. She also realised why past relationships had never felt natural or right for her.


Three months later, she divorced Rory and they went their separate ways. Rory displayed a lot of pain and anger over the split of their marriage and as such, where once they were friends, now their relationship was angry and terse. During all of this personal turmoil she was given command of the USS Ozaki. A police frigate with a small crew but three times the heart of any other ship she had ever served on. After a number of missions, the Ozaki was called upon to play a pivotal role in the Krynar War. A battle that ended the war though at a very high cost.


During this final battle bulkhead plating on the bridge collapsed down and crushed Sonia’s right leg. Despite all attempts to recover it, the leg was amputated soon after. Returning to Star Base Bravo, Sonia underwent the attachment of a prosthetic leg and months of physio therapy. After what she had witnessed and experience during the war, Sonia was somewhat glad for the reprieve. While she worked tirelessly to heal her body, she allowed the time to also heal her mind and her soul.


The Ozaki Command was given over to another officer and Sonia was reassigned back to Star Fleet Headquarters where she joined one of the teams working to fix all of the broken relations and collateral damage from the war. Months past and finally the team was disbanded with the declaration that all that could be done, had been done and she was again reassigned back to Star Base Bravo.


Her experience and service history as well as her knowledge and understanding of Bravo and its surrounding space, making her the perfect candidate to become its commander and run the 2nd Fleet.

Academy Minor(s): Economics, social studies, basic defense
Hobbies and Pastimes: She used to spend her free time running but now, due to the loss of her leg, this has become more frustrating to her.

In turn Sonia now buries herself in her work and her career and, apart from going out for drinks on occasion, rarely socializes.

Long-Term Goals: To retire back home to Earth, owning her own home and spending her days watching the sun rise and set.

Phobias: That one day, a call made will be the wrong call
