||
| − | '''Seifer''' (previously joined as '''Gotens''', and previously referred to as simply '''Night''') served as a [[Starfleet]] [[first officer]] aboard the {{uss|Phoenix-X|NCC-75948}}. He was a [[Trill]] whose host name was ''Night''; and was joined to at least two main [[Trill symbiont|symbionts]] in his lifetime: first the [[Gotens (symbiont)|Gotens symbiont]] and then, against his will, the [[Seifer (symbiont)|Seifer symbiont]]. During his joinings, he was most commonly known by his Symbiont (last) name. {{pnx}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Night== |
||
| − | :''Night's original last name before joining is not known as of yet.'' |
||
| − | Night graduated [[Starfleet Academy]] and served [[Starfleet]] for quite some time before applying at the [[Trill Symbiosis Commission]]. In [[2365]], he completed the program and joined to the Gotens symbiont after [[Rivera Gotens]]. Fourteen years later the Gotens symbiont was removed and replaced by the Seifer symbiont. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Night Gotens (2365 - 2379)== |
||
| − | ''Night Gotens'' (more commonly known as just Gotens) served as first officer on both the {{uss|Xena|NCC-92382}}, and the USS ''Phoenix-X''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===First in command of the USS ''Xena''=== |
||
| − | Gotens was promoted to first officer aboard the USS ''Xena''. While there, he served under Captain [[Aeris]], with a mostly female populated crew except for [[Ensign Dan]] and [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Wing (character)|Wing]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Sometime in the late [[2360s]], Gotens and the USS ''Xena'' responded to a distress call from the [[Cardassian]] starship ''[[Tarak]]''. The ''Tarak'' was engaged in battle with a [[Romulan]] starship and it became apparent that the ''Tarak'' was quickly losing the fight. Captain Aeris then decided to give aid before it was too late and through opening a communication with the Cardassians, Gotens was introduced to [[Gul]] [[Meloneus]]. Meloneus was quick to turn on the ''Xena'' when the ''Xena'' came under attack by the Romulan ship, and Meloneus denied requests for assistance. He decided to allow the impending doom as a distraction while he geared his efforts into taking over the Romulan ship. He and Gotens would not forget each other after this encounter. ("[[Missed the Mishap]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | On Gotens' last mission, in [[2374]], he and Ensign Dan took a shuttle to the [[Tiloniam system]] in order to explore its vast mystery. Unfortunately, they were ambushed by a [[Jem'Hadar]] attack fleet, which required the nearby {{uss|Phoenix|NCC-65420}} to save them. After a battle that nearly totaled the ''Phoenix'', both Gotens and Ensign Dan were re-assigned to the USS ''Phoenix-X'' - a previously embarked starship for the [[X-Project]]. ("[[The Tiloniam System]]", "[[The Tilonian System (PNX flashback)|The Tilonian System]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===First in command of the ''Phoenix-X''=== |
||
| − | Gotens spent the better part of his career proving that he was the 'good' Starfleet officer. His performance and sense of duty were well executed. Unfortunately, an occasional lapse in professionalism proved otherwise. None-the-less, Gotens on more than one occasion, would pull through and be one of the ''Phoenix-X''`s most valued officers. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[2374]], [[Commander]] Night Gotens was instrumental in saving his own [[away team]] from capture within a small [[Jem'Hadar]] base on [[Flortarios III]]. He executed impressive computer hacking skills over [[Dominion]] technology, enabling contact with the ''Phoenix-X''. ("[[Flortarios III (episode)|Flortarios III]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the same year, both Commander Gotens and [[Captain]] [[Daniel]] were captured by Gul Meloneus and placed in a cell within his ship. The two worked together in escaping and retaking the vessel. The Cardassian ship, ''Tarak'', was then towed back to Starfleet. ("[[Missed the Mishap]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[2375]], Gotens misinterpreted orders from Captain [[Benjamin Sisko|Sisko]] and accidentally stole the {{uss|Defiant|NCC-75633}} from [[Deep Space 9]]. The issue was quickly averted with help from the USS ''Xena''. Gotens was then taken back to the Flortarios system where the ''Phoenix-X'' was in command of [[Flame Squad|a small fleet]]. There, both he and Jadzia were helpful in capturing a renegade [[Changeling]] that Captain Daniel was on mission to apprehend. ("[[Home, Part I]] & [[Home, Part II|II]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Night Xen (briefly in 2375)== |
||
| − | During a mission to the [[Breen]] homeworld, Night Gotens encountered a dying Trill carrying a symbiont: [[Xen (symbiont)|Xen]]. According to [[Admiral]] [[Theseus]], the Xen symbiont had hit legendary status as being the oldest and most intelligent symbiont to live. In order to save the symbiont's life, Night Gotens had to temporarily house the Xen symbiont long enough for he, the [[Daniel|Captain]], and the [[Lox|Doctor]] to get out of the Breen system. ("[[Guinea Pigs]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Night Seifer (2379 - [[PNX present|present]])== |
||
| − | ''Night Seifer'' (more commonly known as just Seifer) served as first officer aboard the USS ''Phoenix-X'', where he was joined against his will to the Seifer symbiont by Trill thieves. |
||
| − | |||
| − | His time on the ''Phoenix-X'' has always been anti-productive. On several occasions, Seifer has been known to deal in the black market trades, or been known to steal technology from other ships. His "bad-guy" actions are said to be caused by the Seifer symbiont's influence itself, since the Symbiont's life in Lex previously was never a law-abiding one. ("[[Phoenix Restoration]]", "[[Departments]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | Seifer has also been known to have an obsession with getting his old Symbiont back. During a time-loop in which he was forced to live aboard [[USS_Phoenix-X_(NCC-75948)#Vector_3|Vector 3]], Seifer hijacked the ship and tried to force it into the mirror universe three times. ("[[Secret Shuttles, Part IV]]", "[[Avalon Battlefield, Part I]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[2377]], Commander Seifer was forced to question his own desire to be loyal to his crew after his actions during a battle with the [[Ceavon]] were criticized. But he quickly re-established his loyalty when he risked his life to save the ''Phoenix-X'' crew from death when the crew's minds were taken over by [[Star Trek: Phoenix-X (science)#Thalia particles|Thalia particles]]. ("[[Loyalties, Part II]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[2380]], Seifer took command of the ''Phoenix-X'' for a short period when Section 31 forced him to force Cell off the ship. Section 31 believed the Captain had become too powerful with omni'X ability. But with Seifer's help Cell was able to remain as Captain on board the ''Phoenix-X''. ("[[Power Levels]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[2393]], Seifer went rogue and broke into Starfleet's Latinum Storage facility. He also time-traveled back over ten years, where he engaged in further criminal activities. In the early [[2380s]] he was caught and jailed by Starfleet. ("[[Transphasic Meltdown]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Relationships== |
||
| − | Before becoming Seifer, Gotens worked closely with Captain Aeris aboard the USS ''Xena''. But he never began seeing her until his move to the ''Phoenix-X''. In [[2374]] Aeris beamed aboard the ''Phoenix-X'' for dinner with the Commander, but the two were unfortunately part of the crew's capture when the ''Phoenix-X'' was taken over by [[Dawn Relic]]. ("[[Crash Bandicoots]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | Half a year later, Gotens dated [[Astrometrics]] officer Jineen. But the relationship barely lasted due to Jineen cheating on Gotens with Lieutenant [[GoyCho]]. ("[[Retrieval#Retrieval|Retrieval]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[2376]], the ''Phoenix-X'' was decommissioned by Commander [[Avery]], forcing the crew to transfer to other postings. Gotens himself had returned the ''Xena'', but found his relationship with Aeris growing even more to the point of asking her to marry him. Aeris had expected this, but unfortunately the Commander then received a clue to the missing whereabouts of Captain Daniel. He placed his relationship on hold to search for Daniel, beginning a distance between himself and Aeris. ("[[Experimentalism]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Enemies== |
||
| − | ===Commander [[Avery]]=== |
||
| − | Avery was first officer of the ''Phoenix'' in [[2374]]. He was known for his temperamental short bursts of rage, and his attachment to upholding Starfleet's rules. |
||
| − | |||
| − | He was unfortunately never transferred to the USS ''Phoenix-X'' with the rest of the crew when the ''Phoenix'' was nearly totaled in the Tiloniam system. When he realized that Gotens had taken his place on the ''Phoenix-X'', he immediately fell into a spite and promised Gotens that he'd be "watching" him for any slip-ups. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Two years later Avery got his chance for revenge when he was given the authority for an official inspection of the ''Phoenix-X''. While there, Gotens ran several experiments boarding along the lines of practical jokes in order to test the theory that Avery was susceptible to short bursts of rage. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Meanwhile, Avery took his authority one step further and decommissioned the ship, which would force Gotens and the crew to relocate to other ship postings. Avery wouldn't even listen to Gotens' offer to drop his own personal Starfleet commission. Avery found that decommissioning the ship was a far better form of revenge. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A few months later, Avery attempted to have the ''Phoenix-X'' dismantled at a [[Star Trek: Phoenix-X (space stations)#Unknown starship dismantling station|starship dismantling station]]. Gotens found out about it and got to the station as fast as he could. But Avery was already there, anticipating Gotens. While trying to take control of the ''Phoenix-X'' before the dismantling procedure, Gotens was forced to fight Avery aboard the ship - who used holographic opponents as obstacles for Gotens. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Using an advanced neural-holo chip attached to his temples, Avery was able to merely think of certain holograms and make them appear. When the [[Gordarion]]s captured both Avery and Gotens, they enabled the chip to control previously experimented [[Changeling]]s Daniel and [[Shane]] for use against a rebellious Gotens. Avery's mind itself was placed under the control of the Gordarions. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Gotens admitted that Avery was missing from his previously known location within the [[Gordarion#Throne room|Throne room]] after Gotens' second visit to there. He speculated that Avery may have been taken by the Gordarions in an escape pod before the large Gordarion ship was destroyed. ("[[The Tiloniam System]]", "[[Experimentalism]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Mirror universe Trill thieves & symbiont self-awareness=== |
||
| − | The Commander was horribly abused by two Trill thieves and then by his own Symbiont who became self-aware and active after a genetic experimentation by the [[Gordarion]]s. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====[[James Gotens|James]]==== |
||
| − | In [[2375]], the ''Phoenix-X'' encountered its [[mirror universe]] counterpart, the [[Phoenix-X (mirror)|mirror ''Phoenix-X'' (or ''Phoenix-V'')]] via the striking of an [[iso-star]]. Upon this striking, the [[Gotens (mirror)|mirror Gotens]] was killed thanks to an exploding console on his ship. Although being in this "original Universe", [[Lox (mirror)|Doctor Lox]] from the ''Phoenix-V'' decided to call the Trill government (posing as the [[Lox|Doctor]] from the ''Phoenix-X'') to request a symbiont transfer of the [[Gotens (symbiont)|Gotens symbiont]] to a new host. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Trill to answer the call was named [[James Gotens#James|James]]. He received the [[Gotens (mirror symbiont)|mirror Gotens symbiont]] and escaped the ''Phoenix-V'' before its destruction by the ''Phoenix-X''. After his joining he became a "mixed-Universe" creation of being an "original Universe" host with a mirror universe symbiont. His official name was then ''James Gotens''. ("[[Pure Evil]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | James kidnapped the crew of and stole the ''Phoenix-X'', in an attempt to return to the [[mirror universe]], four years later. He and a partner, Lex, tried selling the crew as slaves to the [[Klingon-Cardassian Alliance]] in exchange for a position within the Alliance - but was thwarted by the Seifer symbiont. ("[[Mirrorlyness!]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====[[Lex]]==== |
||
| − | Still in the "original Universe", James met a joined female Trill named Lex; her full name was ''Lex Seifer'', due to her joining with the [[Seifer (symbiont)|Seifer symbiont]]. Due to a possible freak self-dislike of the Seifer symbiont, James was able to convince Lex to join him in changing the Seifer symbiont with the Gotens symbiont that was, at the time, joined with the Commander. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Thus, using an advanced holographic medical program to execute the procedure in [[2377]], Commander Gotens was kidnapped on his own ship and given the Seifer symbiont: turning him into Commander Seifer. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Lex received the Gotens symbiont and remained partners, if not, lovers, with James after their successful escape. She then became ''Lex Gotens''. ("[[Secret Shuttles, Part I]], [[Secret Shuttles, Part II|II]], [[Secret Shuttles, Part III|III]], & [[Secret Shuttles, Part IV|IV]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | Both Lex and James tried to sell the ''Phoenix-X'' crew as slaves to the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe, four years later, but were foiled by the Seifer symbiont. ("[[Mirrorlyness!]]") |
||
| − | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | [[Image:Seifer symbiont full.jpg|thumb|[[Seifer (symbiont)]] - a genetically altered [[symbiont]]]] |
||
| − | A temporal rift was formed in the Narendra system, in [[2379]], due to the intersecting [[Rockono Galaxy]]. Upon the examination of this rift, Commander Night Seifer was kidnapped and his symbiont tampered with by the highly experimentational [[Gordarion]]s. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Commander was saved and returned to the ship - unfortunately, due to the quantum-shift effects of the rift combined with the genetic tampering by the Gordarions: the Seifer symbiont within the Commander was somehow given sentience. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This sentience led to a mouth, eyes, tiny arm and legs to morph onto the symbiont - and the symbiont itself to unjoin itself and walk around the ship on its own free will. |
||
| − | |||
| − | One of the more stranger transformations to ever happen, the Seifer symbiont used its sentience to command dominance over the crew and order them around. Naturally, with the new perspective, the symbiont cared less about returning to the Night host and more about its own desires for command. A simple quantum shift alteration forced the symbiont back to the way it was. ("[[Occurrence, Part I]] & [[Occurrence, Part II|II]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[2382]], the ''Phoenix-X'' was taken over and brought to the mirror universe where the Seifer symbiont was quantum shifted back into sentience. Un-joining, the symbiont dominated James' and Lex's plans to sell the already contained ''Phoenix-X'' crew as slaves to the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. The exchange was to allow him to join the Alliance, but the plans were unfortunately foiled by quick thinking of the ''Phoenix-X'' crew. ("[[Mirrorlyness!]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Medical== |
||
| − | At the very end of [[2374]], before he was Seifer, Gotens was incapacitated by a drug found within a cookie. It was implemented upon the entire ''Phoenix-X'' crew by a renegade [[Klingon]] and [[Andorian]] working for the Dominion. In early [[2375]], Gotens began to feel recurring effects of the drug, which unbalanced his chemical link to his symbiont. While on Deep Space 9, Doctor [[Julian Bashir]] operated on Gotens to fix the problem. ("[[Cookies]]", "[[Home, Part I]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | Later that year, Gotens was infected by the [[Bajoran]] drink called the [[Bajoran trove]]. The drink had adverse effects on Gotens' symbiont connection, prompting the Commander to unconsciously divulge in telling stories of his past lives. He was quickly saved with the help of Ensign Dan during a meeting of fleet Captain's and Commander's on Flortarios III. ("[[The Bajoran Trove]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | Commander Gotens was one of the non-humans who were unaffected by a type of radiation, in the form of a weapon, that was launched by the ''[[Gelomira]]''. ("[[Bio Level 4]]") |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==See also== |
||
| − | {{Star Trek: Phoenix-X main characters}} |
||
| − | ==Background information== |
||
| − | *When the character was named Gotens, he was named after {{w|Son Goten}} and [[Wikipedia:List of Saiyans in Dragon Ball#Gotenks|Gotenks]] from the [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball (franchise)|''Dragon Ball'' series]]. |
||
| − | *Seifer was named after [[Wikipedia:Characters of Final Fantasy VIII#Seifer|Seifer Almasy]] from the video game ''{{w|Final Fantasy VIII}}''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Nomenclature timeline=== |
||
| − | The Commander's name was always an inconsistent element at the beginning of the [[PNX#Season_1|Season 1]]. In [[PNX#Season_2|Season 2]] it finally changed to '''Seifer''' and remained that way onwards. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====Name changes==== |
||
| − | |||
| − | At the beginning of Season 1, from [[The Tiloniam System|Episode 1 - "The Tiloniam System"]] to [[The Cloud Aloft|Episode 6 - "The Cloud Aloft"]], he was known as '''Night'''. In some instances, he is simply written as '''Commander'''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the second part of [[Home, Part I|Episode 6, "Home, Part I"]] and [[Home, Part II|Episode 7 - "Home, Part II"]], he is randomly referred to, and written, as both '''Night''' and '''Gotens'''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | From [[The Bajoran Trove|Episode 8 - "The Bajoran Trove"]] on to the end of Season 1 in [[Secret Shuttles, Part I|Episode 24 - "Secret Shuttles, Part I"]], he was written as '''Gotens'''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the four part mini-arc, [[Secret Shuttles, Part I|"Secret Shuttles, I]], [[Secret Shuttles, Part II|II]], [[Secret Shuttles, Part III|III]], and [[Secret Shuttles, Part IV|IV"]], he undergoes a radical name change through the storyline of losing his old symbiont and gaining a new one. In the beginning he is still written as '''Gotens''', but then when his symbiont is exchanged for the [[Seifer (symbiont)|Seifer symbiont]], he differs his name, and is written, back as '''Night'''. Although he contains the new Seifer symbiont, it isn't until the end of ''Secret Shuttles, Part IV'', that, story-wise, he accepts, and, screen-wise, is finally written as '''Seifer'''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | From [[The Invisible Enemy|Episode 28 - "The Invisible Enemy"]] and onwards through every consecutive episode, he is written as '''Seifer'''. |
