History

Myralia was born on April 8th 2354 to John and Anastasia Constantine in a rural community just outside of Edmonton Alberta Canada. Having been raised on a farm she was taught the importance of hard work and dedication early. Her father started her off early with simple cleaning chores and would later incorporate her more and more into the overall operation of the farm. Myralia's leadership qualities and confident nature would become more apparent with the birth of her sister Sarah. With their father and mother busy with the farm Myralia would be left to care for her sister and teach her the lessons of life. She would encourage Sarah to explore the world and often take her for hikes in the nearby forest.

Her first true test to her character came when the two girls were in the woods and were confronted by a wild fox. The animal began to pace ready to attack the girls however Myralia stood against it using a nearby branch for a weapon striking the fox scaring it away. When Sarah told her parents the tale they were proud of what she had done.

Unfortunately for them Myralia's curiousity and desire to better herself would take her away from the farm and into Starfleet.

Myralia enrolled in the academy when she was 18 as an engineering cadet. Her instructors would astonished by her aptitude in the field and her marks reflected it. As down to earth as she was, she did not shy away from social gatherings making her not only intelligent but easily approachable. These qualities would be noted by her peers and staff alike and would eventually lead her to the Kobyashi Maru exam in her final year, an exam designed for cadets destined for a command one day.

Myralia accepted the challenge knowing the background of the exam convinced she could perform well. During the exam she decided to attempt a rescue despite the results many cadets had suffered because of this decision. Her crew did not waiver as she had their trust and confidence. Unfortunately like all others before her, the ship was destroyed. Following the exam the instructors cautioned her that she had let her emotions get the best of her in her decision to rescue the stranded vessel. However they felt she did admirably by gaining her crews confidence and facing death with honor and integrity. Two very important traits behind every fleet captain.

In 2372 Myralia graduated from Starfleet Academy and disembarked for her first assignment as an engineering officer. This assignment would begin aboard the USS Phoenix. It was noted she immediately adjusted to her new surroundings and quickly became a valued member of the engineering team. In the later term of her posting the chief would entrust her with taking the lead on small repair tasking in order to develop her leadership skills. Four years later Myralia would receive a promotion and be sent off to a new vessel.

In 2376 Myralia was assigned to the USS Olympus as the assistant chief engineering officer. This assignment would prove to be an important stepping stone and first uphill battle for the confident young officer as she and the chief would sometimes disagree. Myralia was used to having to make her own decisions back on the farm while the chief knew it was protocol that he be informed of any major changes. At first this became a barrier between the two but after awhile the chief learned to trust Myralia and she learned the importance of protocol and teamwork. 5 Years later Myralia would be transferred to a newly commissioned ship to aid their engineering crew as well as their new chief once again as the assistant chief of engineering.

2381 was the launch date for the USS Pathfinder. Myralia would have to work hand in hand and long hours with the chief to get the ship in shape for it's new mission. As the chief became burdened with meetings and reports Myralia found herself making the decisions in engineering and overseeing these repairs first hand. 3 years after launch the Chief Engineer was transferred to Starfleet Academy as an instructor and Myralia was to take his place. Shortly after she would undergo her first test under fire as the Pathfinder was sent on a dangerous mission along the Romulan Neutral Zone. Pathfinder was attacked by an unknown assailant and sustained heavy damage. Under her guidance the engineering crew was able to remain composed and keep the pathfinder in one piece. Her unwavering dedication to the ship earned her a promotion.

In 2385 she was transferred to the USS Sovereign as the Chief Engineering Officer and second officer. She would once again find herself overseeing the initial voyage of yet another vessel. During the initial voyage the sovereign was attacked by a dissident Cardassian vessel. Although the attacker was destroyed the Sovereign was crippled and the executive officer killed. It was then that Myralia would be made the acting executive officer until a new candidate could be found. It would take 2 years before starfleet finally found a replacement. However due to her extended service as an AXO, Starfleet felt it prudent to have her transferred to a new ship now as the XO.

In 2388, Myralia was assigned to the USS Helios as the Executive Officer still holding the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
