History, Education and Skills

Family and Background

:

Daughter of a Romulan Navigator and a Starfleet Engineer, she spent her formative years on a struggling former Romulan Penal Colony in the Carraya system where Klingon prisoners and Romulan jailers had learned to live together. With the fall of the Romulan Star Empire, regular supply runs lessened then ceased all together. The colony held together for five years before sending out a distress call, which was answered by Terran frontier colonists looking to distance themselves from the politics of Starfleet that had lost its ideals. She was raised by her stern Romulan father and her idealistic mother descendant from Terran Northern Europeans. Legends and heroics of Norse Mythology told by her mother gave her a desire to see what lies beyond their colony. Through her career she had a relationship with fellow officer Lt. Cmdr. Ravok which was maintained until his death. She is a member in good standing of Klingon House Kalberoth, and holds the title of Gin'tak.

"Mars?" Keira said... "Starfleet wouldn't have accomplished anything without the Engineers, Technicians and Operations that put it all together. Rebuilding Utopia Planitia, a base on Mars itself, refitting an old Akira Class, the Mystique, an Oddyssy Class, the Republic and building two top of the line ships, the Illuminar and the Exeter, all thanks to the Engineers."- Excerpt from an Interview with Lt. Cmdr. Keira Merek 2O/CEO, USS Exeter. Stardate: 2446.01.29
