Personal History:
Sarah J. Dorando was born February 26, 2321. She was the first and only child of Sara and Doug Dorando. Her mother, Sara Dorando was the deputy director of Starfleet Operations, and a rear admiral, until her death in 2357. Her father was a professor of quantum mechanics at Caltech and Oxford before joining Starfleet science department, becoming director of Starfleet science- Quantum Physics division.

As a child Sarah was an outcast from all others of her age. Rather then enjoying her time, playing ridicules games and waiting time, she preferred to study. Her elementary teachers were astounded and had her take an IQ test in her second grade year. When the results came in they could not believe it and had her take it again. She skipped both third and fourth grades due to her knowledge. By the end of her sixth grade year she had finished all of the higher-level math level courses at the local colleges. Again she skipped a grade further alienating herself.

At high school she met a kind-hearted individual who felt pity for her. the two became very close, for the first time Sarah had a friend. Her friend showed her some extra-curricular activates that she enjoyed immensely, Theater (tech-running lights for school plays, etc) and Debate/Forensics (public speaking). Her reputation traveled quickly among the school staff as to her brilliance, and they worked to challenge her. But she quickly got sick of their games and slacked off, her GPA falling to 3.2 putting her in the lower half of her graduating class. A mere ten weeks before graduation however, tragedy struck. While on spring break her friend committed suicide, devastating her. All of her hopes, dreams and aspirations no longer meant anything to her. She had lost the one thing, the one person that was important to her. Graduation came and went, but she never forgave herself for her friend's death. She went to college at a respectable university and got her Bachelor degree in astrophysics. But that did not satisfy her, she could no longer go on with that game and rather then going to graduate school she turned towards the stars. Upon her college graduation she decided to join Starfleet, hoping that she would find peace among the stars.

Major/Minor Area(s) of study:

Major: -
Minor: -


Previous Assignments:

Her Intelligence training lead to her being promoted very quickly. Her career was so quickly paced that by the end of her covert operations training she lead a security detail.

Her first assignment was to the Covert Operations team based at Starfleet Intelligence Headquarters in San Francisco. The exact details of her time here are classified. After 7 years she was transferred to Starbase 47 and promoted to squad leader with the rank of Lt (jg). Through her time there she was promoted due to her ability to command her squad, they received 4 of Starfleet's highest unit commendations.

Due to her exceptional history and reputation among covert operations personnel throughout the fleet, she was given a team aboard a Galaxy-X class Dreadnaught, USS William F Halsey. Her tour of duty is extremely highly classified.

By the beginning of the Dominion War she was back at starbase 47, this time a team leader in covert operations. But after the war began she was posted again to a starship, this time a prototype battleship, the USS Athena, behind enemy lines. She led her team on 10 successful missions into Jem'Hadar and Cardassion Military Facilities. On the tenth, her Company CO, was killed by a Jem'Hadar. Sarah took command, and completed the mission, however they were ambushed by a small squad of Jem'Hadar and Sarah was wounded by a blade. (For all of this she was awarded the Christopher Pike Legion of Valor, her only declassified award) After she awoke in sickbay a full five days later, the Ships Commanding Officer, Captain Dhiveal promoted her to the position of Chief of Security aboard the Athena, where she last served.

The details of her career are highly classified due to the sensitivity of the work. Although a low ranking officer, it is merely a cover for her Intelligence work to keep her out of Foreign Intelligence files. She has a Security clearance comparable to that of a Rear Admiral. Though she makes it know that she aspires to be promoted.
