Figures of the Romulan War: Where Are They Now?
There are many names that have gained their fame during this hard-fought, deadly war. Most of them, unsurprisingly, are ship captains or admirals, with more than a few enlisted crew below those storied ranks making innumerable heroic acts day by day, some of which allowed the captains and admirals of this war to become so recognizable. This article will focus on three such figures.
Captain Taisa Shevchuk: Captain of the Endeavor at the outbreak of the war, she served with distinction in its opening actions before being heavily injured in combat. She spent medical leave back on Earth when the Endeavor was destroyed in combat in the Denobula system. Some accounts show that the Endeavor was destroyed multiple times, but this is likely due to clerical errors in the records. She was set to captain the UES Burya before its untimely destruction in the Second Battle of Sol. Unfortunately, it led to her receiving an 'unlucky' reputation, leading to her early retirement to her family home of Odessa, Ukraine. She has stated her interest, however, to wait out her unlucky reputation and return to the stars, perhaps at the helm of another Starfleet vessel.
Rear Admiral Mosi Afolayan: The nominal commanding officer of any task fleet that had the Thunderchild at its center, she was present for all the combat operations leading up to the Battle of Cheron under the command of Admiral Westmorland of the Polyphemus. In the ensuing battle, Afolayan sustained heavy injuries ensuring the survival of several crew members in the evacuation of the bridge of the Thunderchild before its destruction. She is currently in a medically induced coma following the battle, receiving treatment at Nairobi International Hospital.
Captain Fuku Sukuda: Captain of the Thunderchild, he, alongside Rear Admiral Afolayan, saw out the war until the Battle of Cheron, where he was among the crew evacuated from the bridge. He too sustained injuries, but still commanded the ship from an extremely cramped secondary bridge. In the aftermath of the battle, he, alongside other evacuated survivors, witnessed the scuttling of his command from the bridge of the Atlantis. He is now on shore leave on Earth following the end of the war pending reassignment to a new command, and at times visits Rear Admiral Afolayan at NIH. Rumors of a relationship have been firmly denied by Captain Sukuda, but speculation remains ongoing.
