"You know, its interesting Commodore, I've heard the same rumor about this being a planet full of pacifists too. Unfortunately In the last month I've had three raids in which insurgents have made off with large amounts of weaponry and explosives and I've had one unauthorized landing that made it past one of your vaunted starships."

Childhood:

Leena Vell is the second of four children and the only daughter. Growing up Leena was known the have a rebellious streak and spent much of her childhood in trouble with her siblings, parents and teachers. It wasn’t until she turned fifteen that she settled down and began to take life and school more seriously.

Once focused Leena made up for lost time in a big way and swiftly became a model student. Joining a school sponsored debate club Leena was soon its captain and went on to lead her school to numerous championships. Her greatest achievement was during another school function when she unwittingly was drawn into a debate with the Martin MacLachlan, the Earth Ambassador to Trill.

The Ambassador was so impressed with Leena’s passion and eloquence that he recommended that she consider becoming a diplomat herself. It was a recommendation that she took seriously.

Vell worked her way through Xarius University, one of the most prestigious institutes of higher learning in the Federation.

As in Primary School, Vell went on to become Captain of the University’s Debate Team and one numerous awards. While at the University she earned a 3.62 GPA.

Trill Federation Attaché:

Vell’s first position directly out of school was as an attaché to the Trill Ambassador to the Federation. While much of her time was spent on Trill while in this position, she had several opportunities to travel to Earth and attend meetings of the Federation Council.
