Marithyk Ry’Anauk

Marithyk is Kyral’s younger brother by 4 years. Since his brother’s departure from the Andorian Imperial Guard, Marithyk had been fiercely protected by Kyral, but also very much encouraged by him when he expressed his interest in a scientific field, which Kyral believed to be safe. When he decided to follow a specialisation in xenobotany, it became clear he would have to work on planets after his schooling on Earth, the planet on which the relocated after Kyral’s Ushaan duel and his entry at the Academy, and that was far less pleasing to the older brother. 

He had an ever curious personality, with a great enthusiasm for any plant life, from its biological composition, ideal terrains, chemical structure and even symbolic meanings to various cultures. His general demeanour made him seem naive and unassuming, but his brother’s Ushaan and following months of fear on Andoria before they left for Earth, along with Kyral’s constant near paranoia made him very aware of the dangers of the world. 

As a result of being very sheltered by his brother, he had a deep longing for freedom of choice, which translated in his desire for pursuing sciences and space explorations in his domain of xenobotany. He was especially interested in rare flora, hoping one day to be able to analyse one sample of the botanical specimens grown in the Genesis Cave on Regula in the second phase of Project Genesis. 

After his brother’s departure as the Eridani’s First Officer, he began joining exploratory science vessels, and even returned to Andoria for the first time since he was 10 years old. 

Marithyk was introduced in the third season of Star Trek Eridani, when he became a commissioned xenobotanist on board the ship, but he was mentioned beforehand by his brother Kyral in many instances.

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.
