A Zhel-lan in the Vulcan V'Ket, Sajel was the leader of the ceremonial military contingent traditionally present at the launch of a new ship. After the disastrous and abrupt end of Temep`Shar's maiden voyage and the death of her Captain and command crew, the seasoned veteran found himself the ranking officer.
The survivors set out towards the nearest Minshara-class planet, although with even sublight engines barely operable and engineering the only inhabitable place left on the ship, their journey was a long one and it is largely to Sajel's credit that no more lives were lost until Temep`Shar was found by the USS Charon in 2409. Although their ship was captured by Rihannsu forces who had learned of the wormhole technology, Sajel and his fellow survivors were rescued by Shiarrael t`Rehu.
The journey home was once more interrupted when the Vaek'Riov Itsak tr`Sahen found he required the last technicians of Temep`Shar to effect repairs on the ship, and captured the USS Charon.
Sajel was killed by Itsak tr`Sahen.
