TraNam Grun is a TranSeni Cheif Tactical Officer onboard the USS Pegasus (NCC-94573) in Independence fleet

Pre-Starfleet history
TraNam was always adventureous even from a young age, doughter of the Famed TranSeni Warp drive inventor Redzik Grun TraNam was always dreaming of what lay beyond their small system. TraNam joined the TranSeni Defence Core at 20 with the promisce that she would get to be on the first TranSeni warp flight.

TranSeni Defence Core
That turned out not to be true as the first warp flight was given to fellow TranSeni Defence officer T'lina Timal citing his experience with Subspace phenomona. TraNam was discouraged but quickly showed her aptitude as a pilot and leader getting 3 confirmed kills (Gri'Va Gri'Va Hunter-Seeker) on her first flight. She rose through the ranks quickly eventually attaining the rank of Flight Commander (TDC) the equivilent of the Starfleet rank of Captain. Eventually her squadren was outfitted with Warp Drive and was deemed Black Squadren.

The Battle of First Contact
On Stardate 52810.0 TraNam lead a flight of 20 TranSeni Starfighters against 16 Gri'Va Hunter-Killers. Unexpectedly, the Gri'Van ships jumped to warp at the sight of the TranSeni forces. The TranSeni gave chase, but neither group was equipped with weapons capable of firing at warp. Knowing the TranSeni ships carried more warp-fuel then the Gri'Van ships, the Gri'Van flight commander decided to make his stand at the Rimalla system, which happened to be claimed by the Firengi. Before either side could inflict a casualty a Firengi Maurauder swooped in, ignoring the Gri'van hails (the TranSeni starfighters were not equipped with communication devices) proceded to fire on both sides killing the Gri'Van commander in one hit. TraNam took charge and using her connection to the OneMind as a link while commanding the Remaining Gri'Va and TranSeni in the system, forced a cease-fire in the Gri'Va/TranSeni conflict while attacking the Firengi ship. In the end, TraNam was the only surviver of that battle, her engines disabled and adrift for 2 days untill she was rescued by the USS Chekov.

StarFleet
TraNam was returned to her homeworld to a great fanfare, she and the crew of the Chekov were treated to a large celibration in the capital city, there were even murmers of TraNam being promoted to Admiral of the First Order (TDC). However TraNam had discussed this with the Captain of the Chekov beforehand and announced at the celibration that she would join Starfleet immediately. It meant starting her carreer all over again, but she knew that her place was not shooting down Gri'Van fighters, it was exploring the galaxy.

Early Starfleet
Shortly after graduating the acadamy, TraNam was assigned to the USS Roddenberry as a Security officer. She distinguished herself quickly as an expert marksman and one of the best shuttle pilots aboard. During her service on the Roddenberry she won an original thinking citation though she had it stricken from her record volentarily on the grounds she used the OneMind to get the idea.

During her service on the USS Firebrand, she was awarded 2 valor citations, 4 original thinking citations (two removed by her own Request), and a Bronze Star. All of these were awarded during a single mission against a rouge Neigh'Var class Klingon battleship. The ship SEVERELY outclassed the Firebrand and the Firebrand's original Chief Tactical officer was killed in the battle. TraNam took over his positionduring the battle. Once again, she was victorious but adrift by the end of it.

Dominion War
After the issue on the Firebrand, TraNam was transferred to the USS Tripoli. Within 3 months of the transfer, the Dominion War broke out, and it was rushed to the front lines. TraNam lead most of the away missions during this time and took part in five boarding actions, three city-defence missions, and six infiltration missions. During the course of the war she was awarded: 1 valor citation, 2 original thinking citations, 1 silver star, 2 purple hearts, and was nominated for the James T. Kirk award for tactical ingenuity.

Independence fleet
Shortly after the war, she was transferred to the newly-formed Independence fleet under Xolani Command. Initially transferred to the USS Mantaray, the ship was quickly decomissioned due to a parts smuggling racket. She participated in the investigation unofficially and was arrested shortly for overstepping authority. The charges were dropped reasonably quickly and then she was transferred to the USS Pegasusas chief tactical/security officer.
