Congratulations to the winner of this round’s Featured Bio Contest Roshanara Rahman and this round’s Feature Nominee Irina Pavlova!

Born on Moselina IV, a busy trade stop located near Krios Prime, the Kriosian homeworld, Roshanara’s birth parents gave her up for adoption, and a human couple took her in, named her, and raised her back on Earth in the city of Lahore. Often mistaken for a Trill due to her Kriosian spots, she joined Starfleet because of her interest in starship design and engineering, an interest that has not come without a cost as she was gravely injured early in her career from a major accident that required lengthy rehabilitation.

Rahman is a project manager for the Starfleet Corps of Engineers and a Starfleet Academy instructor. She previously served as an engineer aboard the starships Shanghai, Tempest, Pioneer, Mercury, and Garuda, and was chief engineer of the latter two vessels. She served as first officer to Fleet Captain Aron Kells aboard the Garuda and USS Invicta. She now commands the USS Veritas
