History
Aella Zephyr was activated in 2374 by Starfleet Command and served as Chief Engineer on various vessels until 2380, Starfleet had kept her existence secret and had programmed her to secretly emulate humans around her. Following the Synth attack on Mars and the subsequent AI ban, she was aided in leaving Federation space by freelancers Heather Quinn and Damien Smith who saved her from being deleted or worse. Aella relocated to Soteria in the Schatten System in 2385, later joining Solas Tempus. She served as Chief Engineer aboard the STV Rautha Skathi (TOV-3002) under Admiral Lance Thomas, participating in several temporal missions. In 2389, following a traumatic mission, she transitioned to a non-field role as Chief Archivist and Librarian at Nimbus Station, a position she currently holds.
