Personality & Traits

General Overview

Akima is a very aggressive traditional Klingon woman. Though she was raised by a human family, she was taught the Klingon way of life from the start. Her adoptive parents didn't want her or her brother to lose any of their Klingon heritage. They received tutoring from Klingon instructors through each formative stage in a Klingons life. They were taught all Klingon principles and practices. The VonHelzers treated the children as their own, giving them the love and support that a human family would give their offspring but always tried to keep in mind that their children were to be Honorable Klingon warriors.

Personal History

Akima was orphaned as a toddler at 3 yrs. of age in 2343. The VonHelzers
found Akima, and her brother, Ja'rod, on a rescue/humanitarian relief mission
and decided to adopt the both of them. After finally getting through the
bureaucratic red tape on both the Klingon and Starfleet sides, the adoption
went through. Eight year old Ja'rod and three year old Akima were then
citizens of Earth.

The VonHelzers retired after that mission, leaving them to be able to give
all of their time to raising two wild Klingon children. But at 16 years of
age, Ja'rod left, on his own, on a search for his Klingon brethren. He
hasn't been heard from since.

Akima and her crew are aboard SB900 as an initiative by the Klingons working with the Federation to have a Klingon presence in the Delta Quadrant but allowing the UFP to do the bulk of the work. She receives reports from all of the SB900 departments on any findings in the DQ and sends them, monthly, back to her own defense forces. Akima's rank is equivalent to that of a Starfleet Commodore.
