Rémy Salarda

Rémy Salarda is a Farian Starfleet officer.

He has been stationed on the USS Hall (2458-2466), Starbase 12 (2466-2477) and the USS Phoenix (2477-).

Backstory
The Salarda Duo, future parents to three children, were in unwilling service to the Orion Syndicate as slavers, the issue was how to get away. Either they pay a hefty sum to leave the business, and try to find a new job in the Federation, or they run, with the chance of being caught. Seeing how they did not have the money for the first choice, they went for the second.

They got a ‘friendly’ trader to take them to the nearest Starbase. Sadly, it turned out their trader friend wasn’t very amicable at all, and tried to tie them up when they were far enough so that they couldn’t call for help without a long range communicator.

The trader should have known that Orion slavers don’t give up so easily, and that they would have taken some disguised weapons with them. The pair shot the man in the stomach with their hidden disruptors, and took control of the ship.

Turns out the Federation was not the all-accepting, friendly, lovey-dovey safe-haven they were expecting. The moment they docked at Starbase  they were taken to the brig for murder of a Federation citizen, and theft of their vessel.

Nine months later three little Farians saw the light of day.

The Triplets were moved away from their parents, who were maximum security prisoners on the prison-moon Cieti Beta 3.

They were raised on Earth by a Klingon father (Cek’Ha Kothor) and a Human mother (Loraine Zau). Earth was wonderful, and to the Triplets it was home, the people were friendly, and they integrated into Human society quite easily.

Rémy was a creative kid, he enjoyed music, drawing and playing the flute. He had a few close friends from all around the galaxy through childhood, who he’d met at the interplanetary school. This school was also where his passion for the unknown began, and where he learned most of his own heritage, that was, until his biological parents contacted him.

At age 13, his parents, known by reporters as the Salarda duo, were released from prison. They contacted the Kothor household, and arranged a meeting. Suffice to say, Christmas 2446 was an interesting one, his biological parents clicked well with his adoptive ones, as Cek’Ha and Loraine had both served as warriors in the past, combat was a common ground.

His biological parents moved into the same neighbourhood, and the triplets stayed there every other weekend.

Three years later, Kayle (Rémy’s father) finished his enlistment program at Starfleet academy, and was assigned a position as guard on the Enterprise. As such, quite soon after meeting, the reunited family was split up again. The Salarda duo started a new page in their life, and in the following year, so did Rémy.

Every friday of 2449, Rémy and his siblings would receive a video call from the Enterprise, and they would chat with their parents, who would send them pictures and holo-programs of the places they had been to, and people they had met.

It was also that year that Rémy started the preparation course for Starfleet Academy, where he would be able to walk among the stars.

He did fairly well, as his interests and education during his time at the interplanetary school lined up quite well with a lot of the subjects preparing for, and at Starfleet academy.

His academy period could be called average, if anything, he did well in most subjects (excluding Turn-of-the-Millennium Technology as it is not Rémy’s fault they teach such boring subjects at the academy.) Some of his old childhood friends attended the academy with him, so it was far from lonely, though their presence led to distractions every once in a while too. One such distraction meant he had to retake his Klingon Language and Literature exam, after he subtly asked one of his friends to shut his trap. The instructor thought this whispering around was cowardly, and had him fail.

The only issue he had while attending was feeling homesick, after his biological parents left such a short time after their reunion he found much comfort in his family, his brother and sister would still be there with him, like his adoptive parents. And while they still had their friday calls with each other, it wasn’t the same as seeing each other in person, and with everyone moving on with their life, it started to turn into a conference call rather than a chat with the family. He missed them, and no conference call, no annual Christmas reunion could fix that.

Following his graduation he was assigned a position on the USS Hall as assisting transporter officer and mechanic.

He served on the USS Hall, which was an old Nova class research ship under the command of Mistresew Ogu, for 8 years, in which he transported so many people, and removed so much holodeck grub, that it was time to look for something else. He requested a transfer and different position.

He was assigned to starbase 12 as assistant chief of operations, as his previous chief of operations had recommended his sense of duty and reliability, and saw a budding leadership skill waiting to emerge. As such, he led groups of officers as they did their work, or helped the population of the Starbase when the replicator malfunctioned, or when the sonic showers were suddenly a bit too steamy, the standard ops stuff, except this time he got to stand and give directions a bit more often, rather than having to get down and dirty himself.

He still had to beam someone aboard every once in a while, and, even though he despised the job, removed the holodeck grub from time to time. But thankfully, this new position also meant he was more often assigned to away missions, and occasionally as a diplomatic envoy, a job he could actually say he took pride in.

He served in that position until 2477. It was the year in which he removed his 3000th subspace reverter from a runabout, and he was sick of it, he sought action, freedom!, revolution!!!. In other words, he sought a position on a long-range exploration vessel. He requested another transfer, and after a surprise goodbye-party, he left for the USS Phoenix.
