Summary
Lieutenant Commander Rajiv Kumar, Starfleet, is the Science Officer aboard the Dreadnaught-class heavy explorer USS Concordat (NCC-78542).
Having served as Captain Wellborn’s Science Officer aboard USS Chimera during the Raeyan Incident, Kumar brings firsthand experience with underspace phenomena and a disciplined scientific mind to one of Fleet Captain MacLeod’s most powerful frontier commands.
Appearance
Kumar is a lean, composed man of average height- standing at 5’10” (177.8 cm). He has warm brown skin, dark eyes, and short, neat black hair, with the first signs of gray at the temples. His features are sharp without being severe, and his expression often gives the impression that he is several steps ahead of the conversation but waiting for everyone else to catch up.
Personality
Kumar is calm and intellectually exacting in equal measure. He prefers evidence over instinct and has little patience for careless assumptions, especially after his experiences during the Raeyan Incident. Though reserved and often dry in his humor, he is deeply loyal to those who have earned his trust and is willing to challenge even senior officers when the science does not support their conclusions.
