Service History

At Fleet Academe

Alastar was an Academe cadet a year above Alysha Forrest, who became friends with Laelkii Takara Lifeweave; Laelkii later introduced her to Alysha. Laelkii described Alastar as "very calm and unruffled." Alastar specialized in science and computer studies, and was extremely perceptive as regards to both systems and people.
