History
Ra'chel was born on Vulcan to a Human mother and Vulcan father in 2352. Her mother, Aarika Johnson was a Starfleet officer while her father, Storeck was a Vulcan diplomat. When she was about three years old, her father died from a mutant strain of Bendii Syndrome that affects younger Vulcans. Barely knowing her father, she does remember sitting under an old tree with him near Lake Yuron. As she grew older, identified herself more as a Human than a Vulcan. Her mother served on the USS Tigris. She would often escape from her mother and hide in the Jefferies tubes of the Tigris.

Dominion War
Ra'chel had graduated from the academy when the Dominion war broke out and immediately saw action. During the first battle of Chin'toka, the security chief was killed in action. Ra'chel took over at Tactical and with the shields failing, phasers were almost depleated and exhausted their complement of photon torpedoes, it was her inventive tactics that saved the Solstice. She was promoted to Lieutenant junior grade as the war was coming to an end. In 2378 she was again promoted to Lieutenant.
