Background

Ishraal Sh'Treth was raised on the Federation colony world of Amantis VI, a joint colonization project among several member worlds. Amantis is a majority human world with local enclaves from the other founding worlds and rich cross-cultural expression, so Ishraal grew up with considerable exposure to other species and appreciation for their cultures.

Ishraal's parents are highly skilled carvers and ornamental woodcrafters, and she delighted in learning the craft and the art of sculpture as she grew up. While she is technically talented, the dedication to her Starfleet career have left it as more of a hobby to her than a true vocation, though she finds it a valuable aid to meditation when off duty.

While she owns an ushaan-tor, it's a family heirloom last used in anger by her great-grandfather; she keeps it in a display case and does not regularly keep in training with it, as she has her doubts about the cultural codes that it is tied to. Ishraal has something of a conflicted relationship with Ushan culture, as she regards it as an important underpinning of Andorian history, but one they need not be shackled by as they integrate further with galactic civilization. This attitude has left her with a certain degree of acrimony from her younger brother, Thavann, who is a dedicated adherent to the philosophy.

Conflict With a Hostile Culture

Ishraal served as an ensign on the USS Nautilus during the Dominion War and participated in the First Battle of Chin'toka. Following the battle she was assigned to ground pacification and counterinsurgency operations on the planet, seeing action in a variety of skirmishes in and around the planet's largest manufacturing center. While she did not play any pivotal role in this effort, it did bring her into contact not only with allied Klingon units and Cardassian opposition forces, but also with a variety of Cardassian civilian support workers and specialists. She came away from the assignment with a greater appreciation both for the warrior's ethic and for the waste and everyday tragedy that make war a thing to be prevented.

Required To Take Command

Ishraal's last assignment was as security chief on the USS Bellerophon, During a mission to extract the staff of a stellar research station in the Miseras system, the system's star entered an unstable flare cycle. The Bellerophon was severely damaged in an unforeseen flare which incapacitated the Captain and several senior staff, leaving Ishraal as ranking officer. She assumed command and was able to successfully evacuate the research staff and their crucial data and equipment without further loss of life, drawing on the abilities of the Bellerophon's other officers. This earned Ishraal a commendation and was central to her promotion to Lieutenant Commander at her next review.
