Summary
Bright, young, and up-and-coming, Krish Malhotra is the Chief of Operations for Gateway Station. With long experience in logistics and a promising career, Malhotra is routinely trusted not only with station affairs, but is regularly involved in or leads missions further into the Midgard Sector. While once considered on the cusp of his own command, Malhotra’s career took a setback after a failed stint in starship command during the Lost Fleet invasion of 2401. Now, Commander Malhotra has the chance to prove himself, supported and guided when Starfleet cannot afford to not give promising young officers a chance after the losses of Frontier Day.
Despite the uncertainties around his capabilities as a leader, Malhotra is an affable and capable young officer, charming and easily liked, and will certainly have no trouble instilling trust and loyalty from those around him. The only question is if he can follow through.
