Name:

Unlike most Betazoids, with their dark brown and black hair, Liana Xavian has blond hair.

Commodore Xavian is a formal woman, and has been called "stuffy". Somehow during her Command position, Xavian experienced a transcendence taking her out of her counselor role and into a political one. Liana Xavian is every bit a pacifist. She believes war is morally apprehensible and stands against it. She is not afraid to follow Fleet orders as was evident in the Dominion War. Commodore Xavian has expressed her lack of camaraderie with marines and to a lesser extent security.

Liana Xavian was born to two very affluent families. Her father is an Betazoid Ambassador to the Romulan Empire to the United Federation of Planets, Trinad. While on his first mission to Romulus Xavian met Kiron Valina, an aide and fell in love. They settled in Xilanthrii, Betazed after peace negotiations failed. The two had one daughter, who they named Liana. Liana grew up in the aristocratic society of Starfleet.

Because Liana was introduced to Starfleet at a young age, she knew that she would someday work for them. Her father had hoped she would become an Ambassador or Diplomat, it shocked him slightly that she became a psychiatrist. While at the Academy, her mother became very ill and died mysteriously. Her father, overcome with grief left Betazed and settled on Vulcan. He resides there, living a life of solitude.

Dr. Xavian has specialized in the psyche of Humans and like, Vulcans, Romulans, Klingons, Cardassians, Borg, and Bajorans. She has done extensive research on abnormal psychology and has published many articles. She has also pursued extra courses at the Academy in diplomacy. She is intrigued with the Prime Directive and even assesses what some Captains have done in the past with the Prime Directive and their individual interpretations.

She rapidly moved up to Gamma Fleet High Command as Second Officer. After serving as Second Officer for 2 years with Fleet Admiral Richard Pellew, Commodore Xavian stepped down to accept an honourary fleet advisor role and serve as the Commanding Officer to the USS Benedict, the first Nova class starship in the fleet. As a gift for their difference, Pellew gave one last fleet order, assigning a marine as the Benedict’s first officer.
