Personality & Traits

General Overview

The planet Arae Octanos V joined the Federation only a few years ago. As part of the integration an initial cadre of 10 individuals were chosen to represent the planet in Starfleet. Arae Octans have names, but they pronounce them using not only the clicks and squeals of their speech, but also patterns of light from their bioluminescent skin. Obviously this makes it very challenging to say their names correctly. Because of this, the initial 10 volunteers agreed to go by assumed names. To indicate that they were the first of their kind in Starfleet, they chose names like Scout, Ranger, Pioneer, Wayfarer, Pilgrim, Trailblazer, etc.
