Major Pel is considered to be reserved, honorable and friendly, always willing to help a fellow officer.
Other Pertinent Data: After graduating from Starfleet Academy, Pel entered the Marines for three years to receive additional training. She gained an expertise in weapons and is considered an expert in small vessel tactical engagements. She has distinguished herself as a Marine fighter pilot. The genetic experiment that created Pel has enabled her with extraordinary telepathic abilities, including telekinesis.
History: Kendra Pel was the result of a Klingon attempt to breed telepathic Klingons by crossing Vulcan and Klingon DNA. The experiments, along with the children they created, were abandoned when Pel was eight years old, and Torruk VI was ceded to the Federation. The surviving children of the experiment, twelve out of one hundred, were placed for adoption within the Federation. A Vulcan Starfleet officer and his wife on the Mars Colony adopted Pel.
Pel adapted easily to life with her new parents. Around her thirteenth year, her psychic abilities emerged. Her Vulcan father helped her to hone them. He was intrigued when he eventually realized that Pel’s abilities were in many ways stronger than those of Vulcans. Pel showed strength in telepathy and empathy, and was able to perform minor acts of telekinesis.
Pel followed her parents’ footsteps in Starfleet, graduating from the Academy with honors. She surprised her parents by enlisting in the Marines. Major Pel passed on the opportunity to become a flight instructor at New Miramar and was posted as deputy group leader aboard the USS Phoenix (NCC 2315).
