Background

The stars have always called to Moira Rozzen.

+ Show Background

Born upon the Andromeda Research Station, Moira had her eye turned towards the stars before she ever learned to calculate an FTL jump or determine composition from an EM spectra. Her childhood was spent upon metal decks in the quiet spaces between them. There she lived as an often solemn specter, scribbling in her notebooks aside her Xenobiologist mother or learning Triad from her Engineer father when she couldn't be at a portal gazing out at the universe.

In a way, it was Moira's stargazing that cemented her parents' decision to send her planetside to finish her schooling. When she was nearly thirteen, she managed to bat her eyes at a foolish enough young pilot who took her out for a tour in a surface jumper. A few months later, Moira found herself settling into the home of her maternal aunt Sophie on Caprica.

The adjustment was rough at first for the teenager but by the end of high school she finished with grades in the top five percent of her class. Moira was accepted into Apollo University in 1988. It was at college that the girl finally seemed to blossom socially. This process was largely driven onward by her relationship with a member of the University's Pyramid team, Kip Reigns. However, it wasn't a relationship destined to last. Just as Kip was dedicated to his sport, so too was Moira dedicated to her studies.

Moira graduated Magna Cum Laude from AU in 1992 with a major in mathematics and a minor in computer sciences. While Kip went to Picon in order to play for the Panthers, Moira was bound for Virgon City where she'd been accepted into the graduate program at the University of Virgon. Dedicating herself to her studies, Moira completed her Master's Thesis on electronic cryptography in 1995.

With her father a Naval Officer of Engineering on Battlestar Valkyrie and her graduate work leading her into collaboration with scientists at the CFAB Radix, it seemed a natural step for Moira to join the Navy under Direct Commission. She spent approximately a year at the Virgon base completing her modified OCS and tying up ongoing projects before being assigned as an Ensign Intel Officer to the Heavy Cruiser Keres.

During her years on the Keres, its primary assignment was the patrol of the route between Helios Alpha and Beta systems. The most notable and recurrent task they faced during this period was the repression of a Ha'la'tha branch running black market goods between Tauron and Virgon. During this assignment, Moira also managed to indulge her desire to get closer to the stars by becoming certified in EVA. She served under the mentorship of her TACCO MJR Gemma Knicks who encouraged her to pay attention to human factors as well as the mathematical. Moira made LTJG late in 1997 and had her recommendation for promotion to Lieutenant go through in 2000.

Along with her new pins, Lieutenant Rozzen was also given transfer orders to the Flak Frigate Royal. As a member of the frigate's bare-bones CIC staff, Lt Rozzen served as the sole Intel Officer as they shipped out to patrol near the Cylon armistice boarder. For the girl who had long been captivated by the endless expanses of unmapped space, it didn't get much better than having this assignment along with the frigate's long range DRADIS at her fingertips.

When the Royal came into the Seventh Fleet Anchorage in 2004 for refitting and resupply, Moira Rozzen was promoted to Captain and applied to join BS-114 for the second leg of her mission.

Description

Though average in height at 5'6", Moira Rozzen typically stands a few inches higher through choice of footwear. Traces of athleticism show in the leanness of her curved frame as well as the strict posture in which she holds herself. The thick fall of her chestnut hair is usually caught back into a ponytail, save for the swept forelock of bangs long enough to tuck neatly behind one ear. It does little to soften the severity of her expression which is anchored in the sharp wing of manicured brows and the strong lines of cheekbone and jaw. Her lips are full and her eyes are an intensely alert mahogany brown.

Left on the Colonies

Name	Relationship	Last Location	Notes
Fellip Rozzen	Father	Picon	Veteran of the first Cylon war, served as an officer of engineering aboard Battlestar Valkyrie (BS-41)
Elena Rozzen	Mother	Picon	Xenobiology Ph.D. and Emeritus Professor at Picon University
Kip Reigns	Ex	Picon	Pyramid coach at Picon University
Joshua Eckles	Undefined	Virgon	Confectioner

Moira's parents met on a multi-year science expedition in a far flung corner of space. Fellip Rozzen was from a well-heeled legal family on Libran. As a young man he enlisted in the Navy to fight in the first Cylon war. Going career, over the years he came up through the ranks and was an Engineering Officer aboard Battlestar Valkyrie before retiring to Picon.

Moira's mother likewise struck out from her familial roots. Foregoing the political focus of her Caprican family, after beginning her biology degree during the war with an eye towards medicine she eventually obtained her doctorate in Xenobiology. Elena made a civilian career studying the oddities of chemistry that helped organisms cling to life on backwater rocks. In the later years after her husband's retirement she continued to serve as an Emeritus Professor at Picon University.

Personality Profile

Moira comes out as an INTJ per the Myers-Briggs personality indicator.

INTJs live in the world of ideas and strategic planning. They value intelligence, knowledge, and competence, and typically have high standards in these regards, which they continuously strive to fulfill. To a somewhat lesser extent, they have similar expectations of others.
