Leticia Sanchez

Letty was born to a farmer and nurse on the west coast of North America in Los Angeles, California. Her father was very traditional and kept up the ways of farming, mostly for science and specialty foods that had trouble being replicated correctly. Her mother was a nurse and a lot of Letty’s compassion comes from her mother while Letty’s fiery side comes from her dad, although both her parents were quite feisty.

Letty was the youngest child and her siblings were often protective of her. It wasn’t a surprise that she followed her sister into Starfleet. She often oscillated between Intelligence and Security/Tactical. She was eventually selected for Intelligence as her scores and briefing skills were off the charts and her short physique did not lend itself as well on the Security/Tactical obstacle course.

After an uneventful posting, Letty was noted as a rising star for her analysis at the Nimitz Intelligence Operations Center (NIOC), focusing on Beta Quadrant Affairs.

She was assigned as a Senior Intelligence Duty Officer (SIDO) at Xavier Fleet Yards (XFY) during the Gorn Incursion in 2388. Based on being present during the attack, the entire intelligence department of XFY was blamed. Her account of seeing cloaked Klingon Birds of Prey went unheard by Starfleet.

Disgraced, she was assigned as a Security/Tactical Specialist at SFI Delphi. While there, during a freak accident where the crew relived the same day over and over, Letty had a psychotic breakdown at the hands of the team’s Psychology and Psionics Specialist, LT Karna Zsan, after she started remembering the loops.

It was decided a transfer was best for her and Letty found herself on a ship once again, this time the Kumari.

Aboard the Kumari, Letty served as the Assistant Chief Intelligence Officer, yet was often left in charge of the Intelligence Department as the Chief Intelligence Officer was also the ship’s Executive Officer (XO). Letty was aboard the Kumari when it crossed the Romulan Neutral Zone and fired upon a Romulan vessel before stealing its cloak, all in violation of the Treaty of Nelvana and Starfleet regulations. Letty was the only officer attempting to stop the Captain’s actions, yet she was unsuccessful.

Upon return to Federation space, a Board of Inquiry was called to look into the actions of the Kumari and those of her senior officers, including Letty. Letty was the only one absolved of misconduct and she was transferred to her next assignment, the USS Excalibur, upon the Board of Inquiry’s conclusion.
