Family and Background
Emily North was the daughter of Reese and Luan Cingly of Betazed. They both died in a shuttle collision before Emily was born. She was delivered and saved by a starfleet doctor, Lt. Commander Gregory North who was on vacation at Betazed during the accident. When it became clear that she was not welcome within the remainder of her family due to her parent's elopement, Gregory adopted her and took her back aboard the USS Cher'ok where he was stationed. She spent the first seventeen years of her life with her adopted father, who as far as Emily was concerned was her father.
Her father was promoted to Commander when she was eight and transferred to the USS Brannock as first officer. Emily began exploring the ship, and eventually made friends with the ships Deltan securtiy chief, Lt. Commander Narram Prex, who took her under his wing. Emily began learning how to be a security officer, even being allowed to go on patrols with the security team.
By the time Emily was twelve her father had been promoted to Captain and given a ship straight out of the shipyards, the USS Prentiss. Captain North took the Brannock's security chief and several other security officers with him to the Prentiss, and Emily continued to learn from Prex. When Emily was fifteen her father was given a new ship, the USS Yattervol. Prex was promoted to the rank of commander and North took him as first officer. Emily finished all shipboard training and Prex sponsored her to the Deltan Tactical School where she learned tactics and combat techniques.Eventually she applied to Starfleet Academy and was accepted. She was also accepted into red squad for her tactical abilities.
Her father continued to command the Yattervol along with Prex. After Doenitz siezed control, he remained in the Federation. After the attack on Andoria Captain North lost face in Doenitz's sincerity, integrity, and sanity. When the Gorn refused to join Doenitz's forces, Doenitz sent a fleet of ships to the Cestus system. Captain North took his entire twenty four ship task force ahead to 'scout' the area, but actually not only warned the Gorn Hegemony that Doenitz was coming, but joined the Gorn Defense Fleet and gave the Gorn valuable data on Doenitz's forces. Because of his interference, the Gorn were able to hold off Doenitz's invasion long enough for reinforcements to arrive and managed to win the battle of Cestus. The USS Yattervol is currently on station in Gorn Space along with approximately thirty renegade starfleet vessels that are unable to make it through Doenitz's lines to get to LaDonna's forces. The North's fleet is currently helping the Gorn forces defend their territory from Doenitz's belligerence.
Education
Emily was raised on starships by her father, her education was therefore built not only on the principles of the Federation, but the high standards of starfleet. She also learned about starship security and tactical abilities from Narram Prex, who later sponsored her to the Deltan Tactical Academy on Delta IV. He also sponsored her to Starfleet Academy where she was a accepted as a member of red squad due to her tactical knowledge. She graduated from Starfleet Academy in three years because of her previous experiences on board starships.
Pre-Starfleet History
There were no major events in her life prior to her acceptance of an officer's commission in Starfleet.
Starfleet History
Emily was stationed on board the USS Valkerie as an Ensign (JG). She was a junior security officer on board who distinguished herself by saving the Chief Engineer when a plasma manifold exploded. She was promoted to Ensign (SG) and made assistant tactical chief.
She was transferred to the USS Orson where she served as a tactical officer for two years before being promoted to Lieutenant (JG) and made tactical chief and assistant security chief. Ambassador Richards came aboard to be transported to a planet in the Gamma Quadrant called Dacoral, with whom diplomatic relations had just opened. Ambassador Richards was so impressed with the security lieutenant that he formally attached her to his embassy staff. She was immediately promoted to
Lieutenant (SG) and placed second in command of the Federation Embassorial Staff on Dacoral. She was on Dacoral when the Dacoralian Civil War broke out and was present at Dacoralian military command when the only Alpha Quadrant Dragon Knight, James Guildford, was transported to the planet. She saved James's life when a rebel strike squad attacked command while the ambassador was welcoming James.
They immediately became good friends, and eventually lovers. James asked Emily to marry him three times before she finally accepted to "Get him out of her hair". She taught James about tactics and security, and convinced him to join Starfleet upon his return to Earth. James fought in the war for two
years before being captured by the rebels and tortured. Emily scrambled some security volunteers and attacked the internment facility where James was being held and managed to rescue him and his comrades.
In retaliation, the rebels attacked the Federation Embassy and captured the facility's staff including Ambassador Richards and Emily. Ambassador Richards managed to negotiate the release of most of the Federation prisoners in exchange for a few officers captured by the Dragon Knights. Emily refused to leave the Ambassador, who was being held because he was the most valuable hostage. Eventually her part in leading the rescue attempt was revealed and the rebels recorded her punishment. She was tortured, beaten, then burned alive. Her body was cut into pieces and delivered back to her husband as a warning to all Federation citizens to stay out of the war. James went on a rampage and murdered everyone involved in her death, which eventually led to the war.
