Nishi Kholl

Nishi Kholl is a officer of the Klingon Defence Force currently serving as the Chief Mechanic onboard the IKS nI'raH.

Background
Nishi Kholl was born on Cardassia to Gorhert and Sotos, alongside her older brother Ren. Her father was a minor politician and her mother was a painter. Nishi appreciated her parents’ work, but was not interested in pursuing a career similar to either. Nishi was regarded as a very capable and intelligent child from a young age— her parents ensured she received the best education Cardassia had to offer, both due to her skills and her father’s (albeit meager) political power. Nishi chose to study engineering, with a desire to truly get her hands on technology instead of the arts and politics in which her parents dealt.

Nishi was very close with her older brother, Ren. Ren joined the KDF as soon as he was able, and was known for being a strong warrior. Nishi and Ren were very close growing up, bonding over their mutual desire to forge different career paths than their parents. However, Ren was killed in battle when Nishi was 19.

After this, Nishi was determined to join the KDF and to honor her brother. As soon as she finished her studies she applied to the KDF and was accepted. Nishi served as an engineering officer with great joy over many years, eventually leading to her promotion to CEO of the IKS nI’raH.

Nishi is married to a Klingon named Ajes who is also serving in the KDF. They met while Nishi was training on Ty’Gokor to join the fleet, and soon grew very close. They married after Nishi returned from her first posting, and though they serve on different ships, their bond remains strong and Nishi considers Ajes one of the reasons she remained motivated after her brother’s death.
