Captain Astra Mirelle, known affectionately as "Ash" among friends and classmates, recently graduated at the top of her class from the revered Orion Starfleet Academy.

Her passion was kindled by old digital archives about Earth, from folklore about creatures of legend to historical records of early space pioneers.

Known for her sharp wit, compassion, and the bright pink hair she sports as homage to her favorite legendary explorer, she embodies both authority and warmth.
