Early Life
Amnell Kree was born Amnell Rovel on Trill to a Starfleet science officer, then-Commander Beshan Rovel, and his joined Trill wife Annis Rax. Ambitious from an early age, she applied to the in 2356 and to Starfleet Academy in 2358. Her Academy application was accepted and she entered on command track that fall.

Brash and somewhat arrogant, during her time at the Academy she racked up 21 demerits for discipline infractions. However, her scores in all other areas were so high that the Academy commandant overrode an attempt to expel her, hoping she would mature into a fine officer. During the Academy's summer break in 2359 Rovel was assigned Lucas Tran, a fixer for the Trill delegation to the Federation Council, as. In her sophomore year at the Academy she became one of the youngest symbiosis applicants ever accepted for joining, and received the Kree symbiont, previously hosted by Edrin Kree, in November 2359.

Now Amnell Kree, she increasingly focused on tactical and pilot training, earning the with cluster in 2360, and medals for sharpshooting with both the  and the {{Ma|Projectile weapon|9mm slugthrower]]. She graduated top of her class in 2362, but due to her demerits she was disqualified from Academy {{Ma|Valedictorian|valedictorian}}.

Starfleet Career
Upon graduation Kree was assigned to the USS Vulcan as a flight controller. The next year she was transferred to the USS Galaxy as a. The job left her with a lot of free time, and she wrote multiple papers on the relative merits of the use of small craft in combat operations. Some of them reached the ears of Starfleet Command. She was promoted to lieutenant junior grade in 2364.

In 2370, following the appearance of the Maquis in the Federation-Cardassian {{Ma|Demilitarized Zone]], Kree authored an impassioned op-ed for {{W|Jane's}} on the capabilities of the guerrillas' modifications to the Peregrine-class {{Ma|Courier|courier}} in comparison to Starfleet's Danube-class {{Ma|Runabout|runabout}}. Starfleet Command, already experimenting with small craft for combat support at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, ordered her transferred to the Martian shipyard and assigned to the Carrier Tactics Development Program, promoting her to full lieutenant. Using holodeck recreations of Maquis ships she convinced them that the design was viable. Starfleet licensed the Peregrine-class chassis and began mass-producing it as the Peregrine-class {{Ma|Federation attack fighter|fighter}}.

In 2372, as the {{Ma|Dominion cold war|Dominion Cold War}} heated up, Utopia Planitia completed a refit of the Galaxy-class starship {{USS|Abraham Lincoln}} as a carrier for the new fighters. Kree was promoted to lieutenant commander and assigned to the Lincoln as executive officer of the ship's Peregrine wing.

Dominion War
When war broke out in 2373, the Lincoln was assigned as part of the joint Starfleet-KDF task force that obliterated the Dominion shipyards at while Captain Benjamin Sisko led a fighting retreat from Deep Space 9. Kree was credited with four kills of s during the battle. Over subsequent months the Lincoln was involved in many sorties against the Dominion as part of the.

The Lincoln took part in in 2374, and Kree's squadron was launched as part of the second wave of fighters ordered to attack the Cardassians. During the subsequent fighting her commanding officer was killed, and she took command of the wing and used them to screen a salvo of torpedoes from several Galaxy-class ships including the Lincoln and the USS Magellan that blasted a hole through the Dominion lines, a maneuver eventually dubbed the "Kree Slash". She then led her wing's ten survivors against the destroyer Bondalek as she moved to fill the gap, and fired a torpedo shot that passed through a hull breach to score a direct hit on the warp core, destroying the vessel instantly and wedging the gap open, enabling the Magellan's attack wing to break through and follow the USS Defiant to Deep Space 9. Kree was credited with the kill against the Bondalek, promoted to commander, and awarded the for the development of the Kree Slash.
