Mala Lintil



Mala Lintil Is a Vembrian captain aboard the USS Skywise and later USS Sentinel A.

Ealy Life
Lintil lived a peaceful early life until 2350, when she was kidnapped and sold into slavery by the Orion Syndicate, where she would remain until 2390. She had grown up with the Orion slave Zino Mar'va who faired much differently than her, becoming a top Marauder.

Instead, Mala excapped aboard a Ferengi vessel transporting her to a buyer by bartering her freedom. She was dropped off at an unknown federation planet and promised to gather dilithium in payment for her release. She arranged for safe passage and refuge on earth, and attended Starfleet Academy.

Starfleet Career
After being freed, Mala wanted to work for Starfleet to ensure no others would suffer her fate. Despite her length of life, Mala is still a young Vembrian equal to about age 18 in humans. She attended the academy where she met her future first officer and best friend Nuzo Perim.

Mala served as an ensign and later Lt. Aboard the USS Gannymede and the USS Promise A as a Lt. Commander. When promoted to Commander she was reassigned to the USS America, and then the Starwise after the America was destroyed in the Neutral Zone by Tal Shiar vessels. She served as first officer to Captain McTaggart of the USS Starwise until his death at the hands of the Borg. The ship returned to Earth and was assigned a new crew including two friends from the academy, the Trill Nuzo, and the Andorian Tallassa Sh'eknor. Her Chief Engineer is an other escaped slave, an Orion girl named Vaila.

One of her first missions as captain aboard the vessel uncovered a plot by a group of starfleet officers lead by Captain Daniel Foster to learn how to assimulate their own armies of borg to fight the Federation's enemies.

The Battle of Risa/Assimulation
In 2409, The Starwise was called to fight off a collection of borg vessels that appeared over Risa via a transwarp conduit nearby. During the conflict, the ship was met by interferance from followers of Foster trying to gather borg equipment. A massive battle on the surface broke out and Mala, Nuzo, and Tallassa were caught in the middle. Above the Starwise was attacked by borg spheres. After dealing with the surface Mala beamed up to find her vessel on the verge of assimulation. She was captured by the Bording Borg, and assimulated however the process was interrupted by Ferengi Helmsman Thlem, who was assimulated, but distracted the borg long enough for the rest of the crew to escape safely.

Mala and her crew beamed aboard the USS Islip where they attempted to revert her. The removal of all of the implants had actually killed her, however they were somehow able to resurrect her using extra borg implants that were intact to replace the missing body systems.
