Talents & Abilities[edit]
Bold (Conn): Whenever you attempt a task from this department, and you buy one or more d20s by adding Threat, you may re-roll a single d20.
The Ushaan: When you make a melee attack, or are targeted by a melee attack, and buy one or more d20s by adding to Threat, you may reroll any number of d20s in your dice pool for the task. Further, you own an Ushaan-tor, a razor-sharp ice-miner's tool used in these duels. The Ushaan-tor is a blade, and it counts as standard issue for you.
Three-Dimensional Thinking: You possess a knack for navigating which terrestrial species tend to lack, and can easily lend this grasp of maneuverability to starship piloting. When you attempt a task utilizing your Conn discipline, the complication range associated with that task is always considered to be one less (2 instead of 3, 0 instead of 1 and so on).
Untapped Potential (Daring): Whenever you succeed at a task for which you bought one or more additional dice (by any means), roll a d20 after the roll. If you roll equal to or less than the chosen attribute, gain1 bonus momentum. If you roll higher, add 1 Threat instead. While you possess this talent, you cannot gain any higher rank than Lieutenant (Junior Grade) or a higher enlisted rate than Petty Officer.
Species Ability - Intense: When you succeed at a task where you purchased one or more d20s by adding to Threat, you generate 1 bonus Momentum for each d20 purchased. Bonus Momentum may not be saved.

Background[edit]
Ahrekka grew up on Koralia VII, an isolated Andorian ocean colony world whose primary industry is aquaculture. Aside from helping out on the family aquafarm, Ahrekka grew up participating in a local aquatic variant of Ushaan, one that was treated more like a sport than a duel of honor, although the skills taught were still useful in real combat. Participants wore their hair in long braids, with the objective being to cut the opponent's braid off at the base, and Ahrekka took pride in how rarely she was bested.
Ahrekka's other pastime was surfing, a sport imported from Earth but popular on many worlds where a significant amount of the surface is water or another suitable liquid. As Ahrekka was entering adulthood, and not entirely sure what she was going to do with her future, she met and befriended a group of Starfleet Academy students who were taking a surfing trip to Koralia VII while on break. Unfortunately, one of the surf spots the group chose happened to be the hunting grounds of a Koralian Moray. Ahrekka dove in to rescue the students and fight off the Moray, being bitten and severely wounded herself in the process. As she was recovering in hospital, the students suggested that she might be a good fit for Starfleet. Ahrekka had always been curious to see more of the galaxy, and with her family's blessing, left to enlist.
