Abbej

Abbej is a Starfleet Officer and is currently assigned to the USS Themis as the ship’s chief science officer. The former Senior Assistant Chief Science Officer on the USS Odyssey, Abbej is an accomplished astrophysicist.

A fierce and confident woman, Abbej has played to her strengths for most of her career. Her deep understanding of a range of fields of science makes her an extremely versatile officer. An independent thinker, she works a lot better alone but is able to work or lead a team with ease.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Abbej is passionate about science, something she learned from her parents who were eager scientists themselves. As a result of this zest for the sciences, there are times when it can cloud Abbej’s judgement of her personal life. She can become too engrained in her work and can forget what is happening when wrapped up in an investigation or project. She has been known to be late for important dinners or gatherings. Something, her ex-wife, eventually sorted out. 

That said, her commitment to her loved ones cannot be questioned. Friends and family members are important to her and when she and Tierra divorced at the end of 2400, this hurt her badly. Realising she could not cope with serving on the same ship as Tierra, she requested to be reassigned to the USS Themis. Though her children are grown-ups, she knows her separation from Tierra has hurt them as much as it hurt her. 

Ambitions

Eventually, Abbey does plan to leave Starfleet and wishes to take up a professorship at a noted and renowned university to continue her research into her old age.
