Chapter Text
Don’t be alarmed. The first two sections are the main characters.
The Present (10/2296) - The command element for the 17th Border Patrol Group (Special Operations Capable), when our story begins
- Captain (L) Chandrelle et Prehaska ne Songet (Chandra) (b. 01/01/2266), daughter of Giat eť Songet er Forlana (father), who was bonded to Starra na Songet’ii (Head of Clan) (mother), and Fasan eť Songet ne Gorlani. There was another member of the bond, a Gemsera daughter, who left the bonding under mysterious circumstances, around the time that Chandra was given up for adoption, with Hunter being her adoptive mother. NOTE: The Gemsera were intense rivals of the Gorlani, a more powerful family. Chandra knows that she is adopted and who her birth parents are; there is resentment as she assumes she was given up for a more advantageous bonding, though she doesn’t know the full story. Uneasy relationship with her birth family.

Transferred her katra to both Chandra and Jamie; she shares her insights with them both, whether they want it or not.
The Past and Present - (The original Prelanka-Soné from the Academy) - were all senior cadets on the Mutara mission; they all became part of a Deltan Prelanka-Soné, a ‘bond of all’, the heart, the mind, and the body)—not exactly recognized by Starfleet.
