Lieutenant commander Kendi Bofane Teki 

Kendi Bofane Teki was a Bantu man, born in the African Confederation in the Congo region. At first, he trained in the armed forces there, and won several marksmanship competitions, before being offered a post and recruited in Starfleet.  

At the Academy, he served as a wilderness survival instructor and combat instructor, and was known there as the quiet teacher who would reveal that he knew many old folks tales and legends around the campfire during the final nights of survival camping. After that, he took an assignment in the U.S.S Korolev for 3 years, climbing the ranks of the security department. At 37 years old, he was given the choice to be a department head on a deep space mission or working at the Academy to reform the training of security crews, and chose to become Head of Security on the U.S.S. Eridani.

i said 'explain physics to me like youre in love with me' and after a while of quiet he went 'everything sings'. so i get it now

Lieutenant Lila Velann

Lila Velann was a Betazoid, daughter of diplomatic aides who brought her along travelling with them on various systems. Loving the opportunity to encounter new people, cultures and planets, she began training to enter the diplomatic corps of Betazed. Through these experiences, she learned over 20 languages and came in contact with various cultures. From a young age, she showed signs of intense telepathic and empathic abilities. These abilities caused her to become overwhelmed as she met dishonest, hostile or treacherous diplomats and politicians, and she could not keep the calmness and grace expected of a Betazoid diplomatic aide. Her reactions ruined an important negotiation and she was expelled from the training in the diplomatic corps. 

That event turned her life’s plan upside down, and she quickly had to choose a new career. She entered the University of Betazed in applied politics, but her diplomatic failure became widely known among her classmates, and they began berating her for it, considering how many of her peers had parents or people they knew also involved in that negotiation. Unable to take the pressure of their frequent bullying, shamed and humbled, she transferred to Starfleet Academy to pursue in xenolinguistics and communications. She took a rapid liking to this domain and was at the top of many of her classes, allowing her to get a posting on staships from the age of 18. 

She was assigned as Eridani’s head communication officer in 2293, and was 25 years old at the start of the five year mission in 2296. 

Through her studies and the discipline of the Academy, she worked hard to conform to the genial and unassuming manners that had been expected of her since her early childhood, and by the time she began working on the Eridani, she had become a professional and a much more mild-mannered officer, but the fiery element of her was still vibrant and alive underneath that calmer side she developed. To manage her struggle with her overwhelming telepathic and empathic abilities, she often turned to Betazed religion and meditative techniques.

Lieutenant Elliot “Stocky” Stockton

Elliot Stockton, nicknamed “Stocky”, was a lieutenant and operation officer, as well as transporter chief during the U.S.S. Eridani’s five year mission. Aged 48, he was a mature person, with a very reserved personality, and who’s general demeanour came out as very fatherly. He also was a father of eight, of whom he was very proud and happily showed pictures of to the crew. While quiet, he had a way to make everyone feel safer when manning the transporter room. 

He began his career in diplomatic security, working in the domain for years before switching to Starfleet and joining the operation department. At this point he worked at Headquarters, making it easier to be close to his wife and start a family in San Francisco, rather than accompanying dignitaries over the galaxy. 

With his children all a little older, he and his wife both agreed it was time to go back to space, and he applied as transporter chief and operation officer on the Eridani. 

Well liked among the crew, he often sparred with First Officer Kyral and Lt. Commander Teki, and tried to get Terrance Riley to join them many times.
