History

Born on the Denobula, Dr. Selara grew up surrounded by a rich tapestry of cultural diversity and scientific inquiry. Inspired by the Denobulan tradition of lifelong learning and exploration, Selara embarked on a career in medicine, determined to use her skills to make a difference in the universe.

After completing her medical training on Denobula, Selara joined Starfleet, drawn by the opportunity to further expand her horizons and medical knowledge. Selara’s interest in xenobiology led her to take an assignment as a medical officer aboard the USS Asteria.

Aboard the Asteria, Selara thrived in the dynamic environment of space exploration, applying her skills to address a wide range of medical challenges encountered during the ship’s voyages. Whether treating injuries sustained during away missions to uncharted planets or conducting research on newly discovered alien species, Selara absorbed the experiences like a sponge.

Rising through the ranks aboard the Norway-class vessel, Selara eventually became the Assistant Chief Medical Officer. Although she loved the the sense of camaraderie aboard the Asteria, Selara wanted more out of her Starfleet service. When the Chief Medical Officer position aboard the USS Hathaway became available, Selara knew it was a rare opportunity for deep-space exploration aboard a more advanced ship.
