Marithyk Ry’Anauk

Marithyk is Kyral’s younger brother by 4 years. Since his brother’s departure from the Andorian Imperial Guard, Marithyk had been fiercely protected by Kyral, but also very much encouraged by him when he expressed his interest in a scientific field, which Kyral believed to be safe. When he decided to follow a specialisation in xenobotany, it became clear he would have to work on planets after his schooling on Earth, the planet on which the relocated after Kyral’s Ushaan duel and his entry at the Academy, and that was far less pleasing to the older brother. 

He had an ever curious personality, with a great enthusiasm for any plant life, from its biological composition, ideal terrains, chemical structure and even symbolic meanings to various cultures. His general demeanour made him seem naive and unassuming, but his brother’s Ushaan and following months of fear on Andoria before they left for Earth, along with Kyral’s constant near paranoia made him very aware of the dangers of the world. 

As a result of being very sheltered by his brother, he had a deep longing for freedom of choice, which translated in his desire for pursuing sciences and space explorations in his domain of xenobotany. He was especially interested in rare flora, hoping one day to be able to analyse one sample of the botanical specimens grown in the Genesis Cave on Regula in the second phase of Project Genesis. 

After his brother’s departure as the Eridani’s First Officer, he began joining exploratory science vessels, and even returned to Andoria for the first time since he was 10 years old. 

Marithyk was introduced in the third season of Star Trek Eridani, when he became a commissioned xenobotanist on board the ship, but he was mentioned beforehand by his brother Kyral in many instances.

Lieutenant junior-grade Wane Perry, navigator

Born in 2272 on the colony of Ajilon Prime, Wane grew up near the border of Federation and Klingon deep space. They went to the local naval academy on the planet, before setting their sight on Starfleet and its more advanced fleet of vessels. Due to Ajilon Prime’s proximity to Klingon space and frequent Klingon visitors, Perry spoke a variety of Klingon dialects, a skill that became often useful on away missions involving the Klingons. 

They studied navigation and command at Starfleet Academy, and shared a few classes with Demora Sulu. They were assigned to the Eridani in 2294, serving under captain Bowman as a lieutenant (junior grade), was promoted to lieutenant- senior grade and earned the post of main navigator in 2296 when Saavik became the ship’s captain. At 24 years old, they are among the younger crew members, and often show a prankster nature during ship downtime. Due to their close work posting and time at the Academy, Wane and Demora became very close friends.

Reposting my boy

Lieutenant junior-grade Sopek

Sopek was born to a high standing Vulcan family, due to his mother, T'Pring, being a part of an historically aristocratic clan and retaining these ties despite her marriage to Stonn, a member of a more humble family. This upbringing in ShiKhar’s high society and status as an only child encouraged his haughty and vain personality, in that subdued, high-class Vulcan way. 

Due to their own experiences with arranged bonding and the social fiasco of the Koon-ut Kal-if-fee, Sopek was not bonded as a child, with T’Pring refusing to force her child’s mind to be tied to someone he could not choose himself, for his own logical reasons. Many elders of his clans disapproved of this choice, but Sopek was confident that he would be able to secure a bondmate in case he should undergo Pon Farr before having found someone. 

A fairly talented telepath, he enjoyed showing off with people as a young child. 

As a teenager, he became a very big fan of Spock, in all the irony that he was his mother’s ex-betrothed, and against his parents’ wishes, he joined Starfleet at 17 due to how much Spock inspired him. He completed the science program in the fast track, focusing the astrophysics speciality with certain tangential studies, graduating in two years. 

During this time, he also started a club for Human Studies, in an attempt to palliate his lack of knowledge concerning human references, behaviours and media. Staying at the Academy longer would most likely have helped him more, but in his stubbornness he maintained that he could uncover these concepts through logical means. Each semester, Sopek coerced a human student, mostly Terrance Riley, to review the club’s findings and grade them. This research was not very conclusive, and by the time that Sopek was assigned to the Eridani at 19 as a lieutenant junior-grade, he remained fairly ignorant about human culture. 

At Starfleet, he did not share his parent’s or clan’s name to avoid plummeting his chances of getting assigned to the Eridani due to Captain Saavik’s close connection to Spock and the fact his own mother incited kal-if-fee on him.

His posting in Dr. David Marcus’s science team came with a learning curve about behaviours, and his egotistical attitude was taken down a few notches during his time on the Eridani. 

draw stuilly againnnn

Okkkk. Stu is listening to Ayesha Erotica and Billy is listening to NIN

Hey guys so this is a project my friend @purple-iris has been working on for a bit (with some minor contributions from myself), it’s basically a “lost media” tv show of Captain Saavik and her crew serving aboard the U.S.S Eridani getting into all kinds of adventures! There’s been 4 seasons worth of episodes plots outlined for trekkies to use as prompts for Trek fanfiction or artwork or, well, anything really! There’s a lot more to come, including posts about the plot of the show, descriptions of the characters, some artwork (expect some fanart from me pretty soon), so stay tuned if you’re interested in learning more!

Commander Simon Masters, Chief Engineer

Son of NCC-1701 crewmember Charlene Masters, Commander Simon Masters was the Chief Engineer of the U.S.S. Eridani during its five year mission. He was 36 years old at the start of the mission and also held the title of Second officer. 

A very creative engineer, he was highly regarded for his excellent technical knowledge of the ship and a thirst for innovation. Albeit being skilled in his domain, he often felt unworthy of his posting, due to a mistake he made on one of his early on-ship assignments as a cadet, during which he made a mistake that cost the life of one of his classmates. On the ship, he was a very easy-going person, and enjoyed passing by the science labs to discuss ongoing research with the team of department head David Marcus. He also liked getting involved in the newest, more-mechanically inclined science projects of the department, and would happily work on additional safety measures in the lab for specific experiments. While sociable, he would sometime retreat to the rumbling of the engines and echoing jeffries tube for more menial maintenance as a way to unwind. 

stu’s the kind of guy to shout CONFESSION TIME (giving billy an aneurysm) at a party and says the most unhinged unasked for shitty story and then proceeds to laugh about it whilst everyone else is either disturbed or laughing along uncomfortably
