Orliella Bravas

Orliella Liliana Bravas comes from a long line of Starfleet Ambassadors and that lineage is apparent as she executes her duties as OIC for Diplomatic & Consular Affairs aboard the USS Hikaru Sulu.

In many ways, an Odyssey class is intrinsically a small city in space. One of the premier Diplomatic platforms deployed by the United Federation of Planets when it wants to fly the flag and remind potential client species and former/potential enemies alike that the ‘golden age’ of the Federation may have passed, but it remains a potent ally and a force to be reckoned with. Lieutenant Commander Bravas is one of the faces of that Diplomatic Effort.

As the ship also acts as a point of contact for many Federation citizens throughout the former DMZ, a secondary function Lt Commandeer Bravas conducts is that of Consular Services – providing aid and support to it’s far – flung citizenry or enfolding new citizens into the UFP’s ranks.

Juggling both “Hard” & “Soft” Diplomatic efforts and outreach, Orliella truly is a “modern-missionary.”

An accomplished diplomat, Orliella is adept at projecting a range of studied personality traits that are best – designed to illicit the required response. She can be charming and engaging when she desires or be authoritative and firm if required.

Highly educated, well – read, deeply cultured and exquisitely mannered – she has made it her life’s work to appreciate and encompass the world-view of literally hundreds of disparate races and cultures and sometimes it is hard to know where the diplomat ends and the real – person begins.

Corresponding, when Orliella is not engaged in her work, she prefers quiet and solitude. One of her biggest passion is hiking and whenever the situation permits, she opts to spend her shore – leave hiking and exploring planet-side. Meeting and observing the people and cultures there – forever expanding her acumen and experience. People watching is her favorite pastime.
