Born to scientist parents on the now disestablished (SD44069) research outpost UFSP2034, a PSIm-Virus swept through the small colony in its 5th year. Soulstar, at 5yo, was sole survivor. She was adopted by an endemic chordate species (reptilian with iron-age technology) knows as “Xua-Li’dan”, and raised by an old female of this species, Watapu, to be a house slave in a swamp dwelling.

The Federation did not return until Soulstar was 17, at which point she was repatriated and educated on Earth and at the Vulcan Science Academy. A low-g environment on Zênê gave her an extra 40cms of height and brittle skeleton. Her bones have been carbon-fibre enhanced to MilGrade-6 to withstand gravities up to 6G for extended durations.

While serving as Chief Medical Officer on the USS Messier, the ship was attacked by a Vidiian flotilla. Its Captain, first and second officers were murdered as a Vidiian medical detail organ-harvested its way through the captured crew. The Vidiian surgeon’s saw broke attempting to cut through her ultra-dense ulna and Soulstar used the surgeon’s surprise to slit his throat with a shard of the saw. She took his weapon and rescued what remained of the Messier crew who killed their captors and retook the Messier.

Before beaming back to their ship she deployed a “Trojan Horse” strategy inside the Vidiian craft to beam primed torpedoes into the other ships, destroying the entire armada. On their return to Earth she received the Christopher Pike Medal of Valour and was promoted to full Captain with command of USS Feynman.
