Galan

Lieutenant Commander Galan is a Senior Starfleet Ship Designer in the Office of Naval Architecture’s Utopia Planitia Design Group. Galan has a particular eye for shipboard ergonomics, accommodation and recreation facilities, considering them vital to the operation of a key component of any starship- her crew. Working as senior designer on the specialised diplomatic Envoy-class refit allowed Galan the fullest expression of their personal design philosophies to date. This track record spans a longer time period than might be expected, as Galan first worked on ship designs in waning days of the Old Orion Empire- albeit with an enforced millenium-long career break in isostasis.

Always an extremely focused individual, Galan's early move to 're'-join the Orion Union Navy was hoped to support the transition to the new era with familiar, comforting activity. Alongside a few contemporaries, Galan's service history in the previous Imperial Orion Navy was recognised by a Union navy hungry for professionalism, reorganising following the Syndicate Crisis. Unfortunately the ever-present reminders of the temporal displacement and civilisational loss were unhelpful, so a transfer to Starfleet enabled the talented ship designer to follow their passion at a corresponding physical remove from the old Orion-empire-that-was.
