Koyda Daco

Koyda Daco was born on February 25th, 2378 on Bajor. He was the only child and grew up to be a wonderful, obedient child. He grew up on a farm that his parents owned and when he got older, he learned how to help his parents in the fields to grow and harvest wonderful foods that they would eat at the table or sell on the market. But whenever his parents got the chance, they would take him to visit Deep Space Nine, where he got to try all kinds of foods, some of which he greatly enjoyed. Especially Klingon Gagh or Vulcan soup and even pizza, tacos, and sushi! He just loved it all. Good thing he had a very strong metabolism. When he became of age and learned the history of Bajor’s part in the Dominion War before joining the Federation in 2377, he chose to enlist in Starfleet. After his training in both Security and Engineering, along with an extended course in the Hazard Team Training Program, he was assigned to a border outpost as a Security and Technician. Because of this, he graduated as a Crewman Second Class rather than 3rd Class.

He served on board the outpost for some years, met another enlisted member named Maya, and immediately fell in love. They were in fact about ready to take a vacation back to Bajor to have a marriage ceremony when the conflict with the Hunters of D’Ghor rose, canceling their plans and having almost everyone pulling double shifts on the outpost, trying to monitor communications and keep the station running tip-top shape so that they wouldn’t have a single hour or day of no comms, and simply kept reporting to Starfleet Command with any vital information they got. But then both Koyda and Maya were activated for a Hazard Team mission and were assigned to the Delta Squad under the leader of Ensign Vakai.

During the course of their missions, crossing into The Triangle, destroying a camp and an outpost to gather intelligence data for Starfleet Command, along with stealing a D12 B’Rel Class Bird of Prey and defending the Haydorian system from the D’Ghor assault, Maya had been promoted several times, reaching the rank of Petty Officer 3rd Class.

When the conflict with the D’Ghor was over and that the team was disbanded, to be sent back to their normal duties as Starfleet, Vakai pulled the team aside and spoke to them about an extensive training program that would get them commissioned. Vakai’s own words were, “I’ve grown to trust every one of you with my life. I absolutely plan to become Captain someday and have command of my very own starship. At that time, I would want all of you to be a part of my crew, but not just any crew. I want you all to be part of my Senior Staff. So I put in a request, a big request, to have the four of you go through this extensive training program, and become Commissioned Officers.” And there, Koyda, and the rest of the Non-Commissioned Officers of the Team, took the program together and graduated as Ensigns of Starfleet.

What little did Koyda, and the rest of the team knew, was that there was another Captain out there, who had been keeping an eye on their careers and had requested that they all serve on board their ship, including Ryker and Vakai themselves. So as of this moment, Ensign Koyda is serving as a Security Officer on board the USS Centaur. Later he was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and assigned to the Sovereign. When Captain Henry Maxwell took command, he was then promoted to full Lieutenant and reassigned as Hazard Team XO. After the incident on the Sovereign‘s last mission during the Blood Dilithium crisis, he retains the same position but is now at Starbase 415.
