Liara Tali'Zorah

Early Life
Liara Tali'Zorah was born in 2300 on Thessia. Liara was born to a Matriarch Quantessa one of the wisest of the Nissari people. In 2320 she entered her Maiden stage of life and ventured out into the galaxy like most Nissari do, but did not venture past the Angira Vale; a nebula that spans thousands of light years and completely isolates Nassari space from the rest of the Gamma Quadrant. She spend the next 30 years living on Jestar Prime a planet littered with many ancient alien artifacts where the Narrisians get their technology from. In 2500 she was one of the first Nassari to leave the vale on the NSV Ascension.

Contact With Starfleet
In 2500 the Nissari made first contact with Starfleet. Despite the fact that the Nissari believe other species living beyond the Vail are aggressive, and warlike, the contact was surprisingly peaceful. In 2520 the Nissari Council made an official application to join the Federation, but strongly expressed that they would not share their technology, as it goes against their laws. As of 2528 Liara did not join Starfleet but was assigned by the Nissari council as an exchange crew member to the USS Elysium.

2528
Currently as of 2528 Liara is on the USS Elyssium awaiting a possition. She is quiet and has not spoken to any of the crew this including the Captain, Doctor and Counselor. She rarely speaks to Humans but has reportedly been seen talking with a Female Bolian due to the simerlaritys between the two races. Some belive this makes her feel more at home

Starfleet and the Federation
Currently the species of the Vail Counsil are not members of the United Federation of Planets but do maintain certain agreements. Due to this Liara is the only Nissari or Vail Species on a Starfleet Vessle. As a provisional member of the vessle she was assigned as the USS Elysium's Assistant Chief Science Officer. She is not officialy a Starfleet officer but dose wear a uniform but with no full rank. The Counsil conciders her life on the starship as highly important as her weekly reports to the Counsil allow them to know what starfleet is like and if it is worth entering the Federation or not.
