Bravo Fleet
Summary
Lieutenant Rowan Imani, Starfleet, serves as the Operations Officer aboard the Norway-class light cruiser USS Montrose (NCC-68817). A consummate professional with a razor-sharp technical mind, Imani excels at coordinating the ship’s complex web of operations and logistics into a seamless whole.
Appearance
Imani stands at 5’9”, with a lean, athletic build shaped by years of physical discipline and EVA work. Her warm brown skin and closely cropped black hair reflect a practical nature — she is not one for ceremony. Her dark, observant eyes carry a quiet intelligence, often assessing three things at once while speaking about a fourth.
Personality
Imani is steady in a way that borders on unshakable. She is analytical, pragmatic, and intensely loyal to her ship and crew. When crises erupt, and they often do aboard the Montrose, Imani is the one calmly rerouting power, balancing system loads, and coordinating responses while everyone else is shouting. She doesn’t panic, doesn’t bluster, and doesn’t grandstand. She simply fixes things.
Her penchant for calm shouldn’t be mistaken for passivity, however. Imani is not afraid to speak up when she sees flaws in a plan. She prefers diplomacy to confrontation, but she won’t back down from either if the ship’s welfare is at stake.
History
Born and raised in Nairobi, Earth, Rowan Imani grew up in a family of scientists and engineers working for the Federation Geospatial Survey. Her parents instilled in her a love for complex systems and a respect for precision in every action. While many children were interested in starships for their speed or firepower, Imani was fascinated by the coordination that kept thousands of systems working in perfect harmony.
Her natural aptitude earned her a place at Starfleet Academy, where she specialized in operations and systems management.
Imani’s early career was defined by steady, deliberate progress. As a junior operations officer aboard the USS Calliope, she coordinated power flow and logistics during a months-long relief mission to The Triangle.
Later, aboard the USS Khepri, she oversaw complex system reconfigurations during a first-contact mission that pushed the ship’s capabilities to their limits.
Her assignment to the USS Montrose came at a critical juncture in the ship’s refit and mission profile expansion as the newest unit attached to Commander, Ulysses Exploratory Cruiser Squadron.
