Other Info:
One of the few crew members to survive the destruction of the U.S.S. Farragut at the Battle of Vulcan, in which 7 Constitution Class ships were destroyed by a Romulan ship from the future.

Her shuttle was among the dozen or so to escape the ships before they were completely destroyed. Because of this event in her life, she has developed a quiet eternal hatred for Romulans.

Characteristics & Observations


Professional and entertaining, those are the words that the Captain of the U.S.S. Farragut used to describe then Lieutenant Zoe Lublin. Capable of carrying on a conversation whilst doing her job, her unique talents for multi-tasking are almost as responsible for her success in Starfleet as her muscial and linguistic talents are for getting her in Starfleet in the first place. Very outgoing, Zoe is likely to start up a conversation with someone at the bar off-duty regardless of if she knows them or not, and she also doesn't mind buying drinks for people. Her manners and etiquette give a hint of her rather privileged upbringing. Part of that includes her dislike for curse words. She doesn't use them and tends to react badly when other people do.

Not opposed to having a good bit of fun, she used to enjoy activities ranging from parties, both high-class, and regular, to rock-climbing and diving, both of which she picked up while living in her home town of Lublin, Poland. She also picked up a knack for gambling in various forms, including poker and blackjack, from her musical performances at casinos and other places, after which she typically played a few games before heading home. Other enjoyable activities for her include some oddities, such as juggling, doing odd voices and accents (including several foreign language ones from other planets), and ice sculpturing.

Although she is usually very dressy for events at which she is going to perform, most of the time off-duty and in regular public gatherings she'll most often be found in a t-shirt and jeans. Prefering form-fitting hip-huggers to a skirt, she rarely wears skirts, although she does have a rather extensive extravagant dress collection with everything from ultra-formal to cocktail dresses.

She also enjoys loud rock music, both classic Earth and more modern tunes, and of course performing songs herself. She credits her musical tastes as part of the reason her ears are so keen on sounds and languages to begin with, though her parents often told her sooner or later she'll go deaf listening to music that loud on headphones. On public performing, she started at a young age after her parents discovered her vocal talent and put her in classes to better herself. At first she did birthday parties, then competitions, and then state events which her Father often hosted. This of course ended up introducing her to Starfleet...

Biographical History
Some people join Starfleet because its a family tradition, others to spite their family, but Zoe had no intention of doing so either way before the performed at what she was unaware was an Ambassadorial Gala that included several Starfleet Admirals. During the performance she sang in several different languages, some of which only a few people at the Gala understood, which included a few Romulan dignitaries that were there. That resulted in her being complimented during a speech by one of them, which in turn caused an Admiral to talk to her before she left.

After a lengthy conversation about her musical talents, the Admiral segwayed in to the fact that she knew several languages, to which Zoe replied she actually didn't know off the top of her head just how many languages she knew. The Admiral laughed briefly until she realized Zoe was serious. It was then that she told her about Starfleet's need for talented Xenolinguists, and the Admiral managed to perk her interest in the job just enough to have her take the entry test at age 20.

Though she was a bit older than their usual applicants, just mentioning the Admiral that had recruited her got her off on the right foot with the Recruitment Office, and she passed the ensuing testing with flying colors, scoring the highest in the communications, xenolinguistics and operations fields in the initial testing. After that she was enrolled in the August, 2252 Class of Starfleet Academy. After some more testing through her Academy Years, which she managed to do well enough in to be offered Lieutenant J.G. Rank upon graduation, she managed to get accepted to both the Advanced Operations Training College, and the Advanced Communications and Xenolinguistic Training College, which she decided to do at the same time. Upon completing the standard 4 years of courses for the regular Academy in just 3 1/2 years, she began the Advanced courses.



Aboard the U.S.S. Farragut...
During her first ship-board assignment which was supposed to be field training, aboard the USS Farragut, the cadets on board were placed on lockdown following detection of several Klingon vessels entering the Neutral Zone. Unfortunately for Zoe, this happened during her off-duty time so she wasn't on the bridge to experience it first hand. However, less than a week later, in early 2257, during the latter part of what was to be her last shift as Comm/Ops officer aboard the Farragut, the ship came under fire along the Romulan Neutral Zone, and their assailants spoke a dialect that the Chief Comm Officer did not know. Zoe spoke up after listening briefly to their transmission, and said she knew that dialect fluently. It was at that point that the Ship's Captain told her to relieve the Chief Comm Officer. As the firefight continued, she managed to convince the Romulans via communications to surrender peacefully and retreat to Romulan Space.

Because of this act, the Farragut's Commanding Officer requested that the Academy release Zoe early with full graduation honors and allow her to serve on the Farragut as Chief Communications Officer. She was of course asked before hand by the CO if she'd want the job, and was all too delighted to accept.

Upon approval by Command and the Academy, the CO held a party for her in lieu of her official "graduation", and granted her the rank fo Full Lieutenant because of her actions in her first combat experience. Despite the early release, so to speak, from the Academy she was still older than over half of the people on board with an alike rank. She actually enjoyed that however, as several people came to her for advice whenever they didn't want to bug a superior, and she was also left in charge of the bridge when the XO and CO were both not there, quite often.

In early 2258, the Farragut came under attack by several Klingon vessels. During the battle, the Chief Operations Officer was killed by an exploding console, and due to her experience and training at that post, Zoe took over the duties since no one else on the bridge was available or able to do so. Reinforcements arrived and the Farragut emerged victorious from the battle an hour later, but not before the Captain noticed just how skilled she was at the task of Operations Officer. Upon arriving at drydock for repairs, the Captain promoted her for bravery in combat, and for the duty of taking over as Chief Operations Officer, to Lieutenant Commander, also designating her Second Officer.

Later that year, the Farragut was among the 8 ships called from the Earth Shipyards to assist on a Distress Call from Vulcan, which they discovered was under attack by a Romulan Ship of extraordinary firepower. The Farragut was quickly overpowered, and the Captain ordered an evacuation shortly after the second of the 7 ships was destroyed. Zoe, along with half the bridge crew, were among the only survivors of the Battle, due to the Captain's quick order. Because of this, what would later be called the Battle of Vulcan, and the ensuing massacre of over 6 billion people on Vulcan, Zoe instantly developed an extreme hatred for Romulans, even after it was discovered by the U.S.S. Enterprise that the ship was from the future. Following her return to Earth, she took a few months off to relax, as ordered to by Starfleet following the battle, after which she was assigned to be the Chief Communications and Operations Officer of the U.S.S. Excalibur.
