Not on file

Savessh is half Romulan, half Vulcan and was born in the year 2290 to a Vulcan father and Romulan mother. Savessh's mother was a Tal'Shiar operative, by the name of Sali. Sali was undercover at a Vulcan science outpost, when shortly before her withdrawal by a Romulan force, her cover was discovered. Having killed the few inhabitants of the outpost, Sali relaxed her guard only to find that one Vulcan yet lived. It was Sumek, a scientist who had taken leave from the based during his time of Pon Farr, the Vulcan mating period. Unfortunately for Sali, Sumek spotted smoke from the damaged outpost and returned to find Sali alone.

Having been caught by surprise, Sali had no defence against the Vulcan's Pon Farr-inspired attack, which was enhanced by his rage from the death of his workmates. Fleeing into the savage wilderness, Sumek left Sali for dead, to be found by the pickup team.

Having recovered, Sali found that she was with child, and the child was bred into the Romulan culture.

Sali, looking out for her own political and social advancement, and shamed by the circumstances behind her daughter's birth, sent Savessh to Vulcan to be with her father. This was in her 15th year. Sumek was also secretly shamed, having lost control all those years ago. He immediately sent Savessh away to study, which she did gladly, having no desire to be with either of the parents that treated her so poorly.

In 2309, Savessh undertook the trial of the Tah'sa'lok, an endurance ritual of the Vulcan people that signifies a test of both mental and physical strength. She passed easily, impressing her Vulcan tutors. Savessh was placed onboard a Science and Exploration vessel as a trainee, and was told that she was there to take notes, and learn all she could. In reality, it was just to keep her somewhere until her tutors could figure out what could be done with her. While onboard a shuttle with some of the ship's crew, the Science ship ran into a radiation storm, damaging the ship and grounding the shuttle. All onboard the shuttle were lost, except the pilot, a Vulcan Lieutenant named Suvem, and Savessh.

The Exploration vessel in orbit was heavily damaged, and unable to mount a rescue attempt for several days. Suvem and Savessh were on their own.

Savessh wanted to explore the planet, to hunt and gather food and supplies. Suvem told her that it was her Romulan side talking, and that they should wait for rescue. Listening to the council of her superior, Savessh settled in to wait for the eventual, and logical, rescue attempt. Unfortunately, it was too late coming, and Suvem died from injuries sustained in the crash. Savessh later discovered that had she listened to her Romulan side, she would have found a Federation colony a few short miles away, and that they would both have been rescued, and Suvem would yet live.

This news caused great distress to Savessh, although her mentors still insisted that she did the logical thing. Finding it difficult now to relate to the Logical-to-a-fault Vulcans, Savessh decided to leave.

Savessh joined an independent merchant company, learning yet more survival skills. She travelled far throughout the galaxy, hooking up with many different races and forces. She lived for study, and that eventually led her to Earth. There she heard a recruiting advertisement for Starfleet Academy;

"...To explore strange, new worlds, to seek out new life forms, and new civilisations. To boldly go where no one has gone before..."

This simple phrase struck a chord in her, and Savessh decided that should she wish to learn all she could, this was the way to go. She also figured that should she win some form of honour within Starfleet, it would go a long way to proving her worth to her Romulan mother, her Vulcan father, and her mentors.

Savessh completed the training with minimal fuss, having performed most of Starfleet's challenges in the "real world" well before most of her classmates had even been born. Savessh was assigned to the USS New Orleans, a starship assigned to the Romulan Neutral Zone.

Savessh was patient, using her years as a cadet to study every aspect of Starfleet. The only thing she didn't take to was Engineering, feeling that it's effects were too short-reaching to make much of a difference. Savessh took to Science, studying all varieties of anomalies and weather-type phenomenon. Having thought about it many years later, she realised it was probably her experience with Suvem and the Science ship disaster that propelled her down this path.

USS PHOENIX

After completing her assignment onboard the New Orleans, Savessh was re-assigned to the USS Tecumseh, an Excelsior class Starship. She served as assistant Science Officer, eventually being promoted to Chief Science Officer, after the position became vacant.

In 2365, Savessh was promoted to Captain of the Oberth class vessel, USS Bonestel. A small science vessel, the Bonestel was assigned routine missions, until two years later, with the Battle of Wolf 359. The Bonestel, being small and unarmed, was ordered away from the path of the Borg Cube, but Savessh ignored orders, believing that any and all available ships would be needed against the Borg menace. Following her Romulan instincts, Savessh entered the battle. The Bonestel was heavily damaged, and setting a collision course, Savessh and her crew escaped in life-pods as her ship slammed into the immense ship, buying valuable time for the USS Enterprise, the eventual bane of the Borg.

Although officially unimpressed by Savessh's action, she was soon assigned to the USS Phoenix after the previous Captain is relieved of Command. Savessh has recently been promoted to Vice Admiral.

Savessh's current assignment is to Gamma Fleet on the very edge of the Alpha Quadrant, near Romulan space, and first in line for the defence of the Federation from the Borg.

Torn between her two halves, Savessh constantly juggles her logical Vulcan side, with her wild and savage Romulan side. She is learning to use both halves at once, to try and become a complete, perfect officer.
