Suuraht was one of the many Horta that hatched immediately proceeding the USS Enterprise's mediation between Mother Horta and the Federation miners on the planet Janus VI. She spent most of her early life assisting the human mining operation on te planet. Around 2325 she became the vice president of the Horta-Human Mining alliance and held role for 30 years until she joined Starfleet in 2355.

There were already about a dozen Horta in Starfleet when Suuraht attended Starfeet Academy on Earth. Her primary specialty was geological studies; an area of expertise her people excelled at. She graduated from the Academy and accepted a posting on the USS Chamberlain as geological specialist.

Starfleet Career

Suuraht spent seven years (2360-2367) on the USS Chamberlain as the geological specialist. After her stint on the Chamberlain ended she transferred to the USS Charybdis and eventually became the Charybdis's Assistant Science Officer. When the Dominion War (2373-2375) started she was promoted to Chief Science Officer and received the rank of full Lieutenant. At the war's end she accepted a posting to planetary outpost 55 deep in the beta quadrant where she assisted with a major geological survey of the planet for twenty years (2395).

Once the survey of outpost 55 was completed Suuraht took a 10 year leave to Janus VI (2395-2405). She returned to active duty and accepted the post of geological specialist aboard the USS Huron (2405). After a short stint on the USS Huron she accepted the position of Assistant Science Officer aboard the USS Charon (2408).

Appearance

Suuraht looks like a large boulder with green and violet algea growing on her. Covering the sides and also beneath her carapace are violet colored fibrous phalangi that assist her with movement. Normally Suuraht wears a mechanical back peice that extends the entire length of her body. Pinned to it is a blue, gray, and black cloth that holds her commbadge and rank insignia. On the front-top of her carapace is an emerald gem that lights up every time she speaks.

Mechanical back piece

The mechanical back piece is bolted to Suuraht's carapace. It was created by Dr. Anthony Hodges of the Engineering Corps. The back piece contains 10 mechanical arms; 4 are used for gripping and managing consoles, 4 contain analysis tools, and 2 contain medical tools. The back piece also is also an analysis tool (similar to but more advanced than the average tricorder). It also contains the programming for Suuraht's specialized voice synthesis system.
