Renowned for both her sharp logic and often ruthless application of it, T'Pelar has risen to this prestigious and influential post through what many consider politics rather than merit, but she certainly is qualified to hold the position. Though rarely noticed by outworlders, this has led to occasional tension between the Science Academy and its ruling Council, culminating in an open rift between T'Pelar and the Academy's Chief Starship Designer and Engineer, T'Meni. The situation escalated by 2409 when select members of the council declared the Temep`Shar project State Secret, efectively taking control of the ship from her designers.
