Languages Spoken: Vulcan, Federation Standard, Romulan, working knowledge of Cardassian and Dominion primary language As a Vulcan S’lace is a telepath, although she is mostly untrained in her abilities. She is, however, skilled at hiding her own thoughts which frustrated her Betazoid counselor to no end. S'lace is also a consumate actress and is able to actually pretend to have emotion, a skill that was aided by her husband Luther. S'lace impressed Starfleet Intelligence officials with her skill and they attempt to recruit her for covert work (the Romulans had been pretending to be Vulcans for years, why not a little payback?) but S'lace declined. For her acting was something she had done in her community, with her husband, and she is reluctant to employ such skills ever again. S'Lace also received field training from Starfleet Special Forces, although her skills are rudimentary. She does have excellent field survival skills, especially for harsh desert environments due to her time on Vulcan and Haven IV.

Personal History

Born in the shadow of Mount Seleya, S’lace (pronounced "Solace") was-for a Vulcan-a restless spirit who longed to explore space despite her parents’ wishes for her to attend school on her home world. She joined Starfleet and rather than apply at the Academy became a medical technician, and she served with distinction for some twenty years and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer. During this time her first husband, S’nin, died of a rare Vulcan blood disease. While in mourning she met her future second husband, Luther Kenzer. The two quickly fell in love and they decided to leave Starfleet together. they settled on a colony world near the Cardassian border. She bore him a son, Slal and things seemed to be perfect. Then the Federation signed a treaty with Cardassia, moving their respective border and placing S’lace and Luther’s home in Cardassian space. Mollified by the Cardassians’ claims that they would be treated well, they stayed. Only the Cardassians had lied. A campaign of terror ensued which ultimately led to the deaths of Luther and Slal. S’lace realized the logical thing to do would be to flee the planet and return to Vulcan. She stayed and joined the Maquis. She was eventually caught by Starfleet when she remained behind to tend to wounded comrades. After serving some months in a detention camp she was offered an deal; it seemed the Cardassians had joined the Dominion and the Federation needed everyone who knew anything about fighting Cardassians. S’lace was especially wanted due to her extensive knowledge of her former home, Haven IV. Over the next year she operated with a strike force as the team’s local expert and systems technician, executing rescues, intelligence operations, sabotage and kidnapping. After a particularly nasty mission the team was pulled off the planet. At this point Starfleet was unsure of what to do with S'lace. The Maquis was destroyed at this point and she had honored her end of the deal, whicih had been fulfilled once the Federation ceased operations on her world. Her request to join Starfleet full time was granted as she had never fired upon or harmed a Federation citizen, and her career in Starfleet had been exemplary. It was decided that she be sent to Starfleet for re-training and she was given the rank of lieutenant, j.g. (also known as "going mustang" when an NCO is promoted to commissioned officer). After several months S'lace reassigned to the Amarillo, a New Orleans class starship. The 'Rillo saw heavy action during the war, it was heavily damaged several times and sustained heavy casualties. S'Lace worked tirelessly in Sickbay and proved herself numerous times over, both assisting senior doctors and performing medical treatment herself. She served with distinction and earned the praise of her captain and CMO. Eventually the war was over and Solace, her record cleared, was free to return to civilian life. Only she had nothing to return to. It was for this reason that she remained in Starfleet. S'Lace served as Head Nurse on the Lionheart-A, where she met Doctor Klarth, who pursued her romantically until he was disgraced and had to leave to regain his honor. Upon his return he once more pursued S'Lace romantically and wore down her resistance. The two were married. And six months later logic reasserted itself and they divorced. S'Lace retired once again to settle down for a quiet life on Vulcan in an attempt to find inner peace. She attended University where she earned degrees in Vulcan History and Archeology and had gone on numerous field trips across the Alpha Quadrant. Years later peace still had not arrived and when Starfleet reactivated her she complied.
