Star Trek - NF - 11 - Restoration

by Restoration(lit)

  During her first mission in Thallonian space, she was captured on the planet Thallon while conducting geological research. She was rescued from a Thai-Ionian prison by Spock, who was disguised as a Thallonian. On their way to safety they were intercepted by Thallonian prince Si Cwan-later known as Federation ambassador Si Cwan-who chose to facilitate their escape rather than sound the alarm. Si Cwan later asked Soleta to repay this favor by smug-gling him aboard the Excalibur.

  Because her natural father was a Romulan, Soleta has occasional difficulty controlling her emotions. Soleta was raised by her mother, T'Pas, and adoptive father, Volak.

  Soleta first confronted Rajari, the Romulan criminal who raped her mother, while she was serving aboard the starship Aldrin. Years later, she tracked the terminally ill Rajari to the Titan Colony, following his release from a Federa-tion prison. He duped her into traveling to Romulus on his behalf and trigger-ing an explosion that killed several Romulan leaders and leveled a prominent landmark in the capital city.
