| Personal History | Chaika Personal History Chaika was born aboard the last Asobi ship Kamino in 2172. She was the second daughter of the ships Captain Yusei and the ships engineer Nio. As a child she grew up amongst the stars while they searched for a new home world. She grew up around the partially assimilated technology and became very familiar with how it all operated. By the time she was ten cycles old (seventy earth years) she was very familiar with all of the ships systems. She also desired to work and train to be an engineer. The situation aboard the Kamino was desperate as they realised that the ship had a long journey ahead and they will be needing more replacement crew sooner than later. Therefore a new rule was created. That all females capable of bearing children should do so for replacement crew, but only those over thirteen cycles. Therefore when Chaika was thirteen cycles (91 Years), she was mated with one of the surviving males. Chaika had her first child Taka who was born female. She then mated again in her next cycle and gave birth to her second child Lien, the first male born on the Kamino. It wasn't until her sixteenth cycle that Chaika had more children, this time she four children. The birth of the four children were difficult for her, however she delivered them safely. Thus Kaiyo, Riki, Azu and Kouho were born. Since the population of the Kamino was now increasing Chaika decided not to bear any more children. Instead she decided to study engineering and when she was 18 cycles (126 Years) she took a job in the ships engine room. Her children were cared for by her and the other female Asobi on the ship. She worked her way up the ranks, and when she was twenty five cycles (175 Years) Chaika had become the ships Chief Engineer. She was also an expert on Borg and Asobi technology. In 2368, when Asobi was 28 Cycles (196 Years) the Kamino made first contact with the United Federation of Planets. They came across the USS Akagi who escorted them into Federation space. They were granted assylum by the Federation and assisted by Starfleet. Several months later the Asobi were settled on a new planet and the Kamino was dismantled. The Asobi used a mixture of their own and Borg technology to build their own colony. It was at this time that Chaika decided that she wanted to repay the Federation for their help to her people. As an excellent engineer with 8 cycles (80 Years) of experience, she was easily accepted by Starfleet Academy. She was put through a 'Crash Course' of Starfleet Engineering. It didn't take long for her to be qualified and she was granted the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade, skipping the Ensign Rank. Chaika was assigned to the USS Ark Royal as an Engineering Officer. She served aboard the Ark Royal for six years as an Engineering Officer. She was then approached by the Starfleet Admirality about a special project. That special project was called 'Project Concord' which used reversed engineering Borg transwarp technology. Chaika was of course interested, so she was granted the position of an 'Engineering Specialise' on the project. Her knowledge of Borg Technology including transwarp drive, she was vital in the development of the drive system. When she learnt that one of their own ships was stuck in the Delta Quadrant, she was eager to help. She felt like it was 'close to home' since she was born on a ship in a similar situation. She put plenty of effort into the project and became a vital asset to the teams that developed the technology. Eventually the new drive system was to be installed aboard a Federation Starship, the USS Concord which was being refitted for the project. As someone who had assisted in developing the drive and being an expert on Borg technology, Chaika was asked to become the new Chief Engineer of the USS Concord. She understood it would be dangerous, and she wouldn't see her children for a long time. However her children were well cared for and they understood why she was doing this. She then helped install the new drive into the Concord and began her new assignment as the Chief Engineer of the USS Concord. She now wants to assist in the rescue of the USS Voyager, that way she can repay (at least some) of her debt to Starfleet and The Federation for saving her people and providing them with a new home they have spent so long looking for. Asobi History The Asobi orignate from the very edge of the Beta Quadrant on the border line of the Delta Quadrant. Their home planet was known as "Asobi" the same as their species name. Unlike most M Class Worlds, Asobi was on a much slower orbit. It takes roughly seven Earth years for the planet to make one rotation of the star. The Asobi achieved warp drive in the Earth Year of 2010 and began to explore the universe. However they attracted the unfortunate attention of the Borg Collective in 2150. The Asobi did their best to fight off the Borg collective, however were unsuccessful. The Borg managed to overwhelm the Asobi and assimilated all of their colonies and finally their home planet. However, a few ships manage to escape the collective and began to head off into deep space. One of these ships was unfortunately caught by a Borg probe and boarded, this ship was called 'Kamino'. The Borg began to assimilate the vessel, however were eventually driven off by the crew. Once the Borg were driven off the ship the Kamino was successful at destroying the probe. However from a crew and refugee's of nearly three hundred, only sixty were saved from assimilation. The Kamino Continued its journey in search of a new home. The other refugee ships were not as successful and were all assimilated and the sixty Asobi were now the only ones left in the known universe. With the Borg Modifications to the ship, the Kamino was able to avoid the collective and finally made it to Federation Space in 2368. The United Federation of Planets granted the Asobi assylum and allowed them to settle on a M Class world under their protection. Asobi Biological Overview Asobi live roughly seven years longer than the average Humans. They have a rough lifespan of seven hundred years. They have two sets of ears, a pair on either side of their head like most Humanoids, but also two more on top of their head covered in fur. This allows Asobi to hear sounds that other species can't hear and at difference frequencies. The Asobi also have very good sight and can see in almost any light level, including very low level light levels. The Asobi also have a long tail which is exceptionally strong. They can hang by their tail and mainly use it for balance. The Asobi evolved from a Feline style species that eventually evolved to walk upright, they then lost their fur however retained their tail and ears. This is similar to how Humans were theorised to have evolved from primeapes. Their reflexes are very quick. Asobi are known to be fast and nimble and excellent climbers and runners. However the only downside is that they get tired easily and sometimes have to take power-naps to regain energy. Most of their internal organs are in the same place as a Human, however they have two hearts organised vertically in their chest. They also have a much smaller stomach capacity than a Human. Their body digests food slower. One aspect of their biology that makes the Asobi unique is their reproduction organs. Much like a Human females have a womb and ovaries. However an Asobi female has four ovaries instead of two. They give birth to live young, and a typical Asobi pregnancy has anywhere from one to four offspring per pregnancy depending on how many eggs are released. It should be noted that males only contribute 1% of the DNA to the offspring, and 99% is contribute by the female. This allows Asobi females the ability to mate and reproduce with practically any species easily. They do also not suffer any consequences from any inbreeding. The Asobi ratio between males to females is one to thirty. A standard Asobi pregnancy lasts fifteen Earth Months. Family Structure Since the Asobi have more females to males, it is not uncommon for an Asobi male to have many different mates. Instead of a traditional 'family' like Humans and other species, most females are single mothers with one or more mate. This was made difficult after the Borg assimilated most of their population as only five males survived. An Asobi female is considered an adult after 18 Asobi Cycles or 126 Earth Years. They are also expected to bear young at an early age. Most Asobi mate between their 18th and 20th cycle. |
