The last 30 years of its life had been pretty tragic for it.
Hobbies & Interests		(The host and the symbiont had just joined together so I need to really think about what type of hobbies and interests that would suit them both and sustain them both but I didn't want to leave this area blank so this is just an author's note for later addition.)

Personal History		Nyla's Early Years ------------------ From a young age, Nyla was fascinated by space exploration and the mysteries of the universe. She grew up in the home world, and from a young age she learned about symbiotes. She had never imagined herself being considered as a host since she struggled with confidence. Nyla had always been fascinated with mystery novels growing up, she wanted to be a secret agent like the books that she read about. She can see herself going into Starfleet and leading a secret agent life, protecting the Federation while traveling the Stars. She was romanticized with this concept. She kept telling her teachers growing up that she would be a secret agent someday. Nayla had a pretty decent Middle School and high School, from an academic experience she excelled. From a social perspective, she found it to be a little bit struggling, mainly due to the fact that her confidence was struggling a bit. She always felt like there was something missing in her life. She had no idea that something was missing. She thought it was a boyfriend, so she started dating guys but could not find the right connection. Come to find out what she was missing in her life was a symbiote. She wouldn't learn that till later though. Nyla was a gifted student and accepted into Starfleet academy her high school days were spent on preparing her for the mundane task of academy exams and preparations. Well she found the interest exams to be challenging, they motivated her more to study harder and she got in. She didn't realize the reason why the exams were so hard, even harder than it seems like for most other kids, is because she was trying to go into the intelligence operative field which required a slightly higher level of IQ comprehension and physical strength assessments. She had passed all the preliminary backgrounds and assessments. After completing high school she immediately joined Starfleet academy. Even though her classes went and began until the fall. She wanted to get familiar with the campus and get familiar with everybody around her. A few other cadet candidates had the same idea. Vex's Early Life ------------------------ Vex's was afraid to open up at first, because of losing Two Hosts in a short amount of time during the Dominion war. And the last host struggled for two years to hang in but eventually passed away due to the struggles and pain it took a while to find a host willing to accept the Vex Symbiont. The last host who was critically injured during the Battle of Frontiers Day. For the next couple of years the host struggled to sustain its symbionts life, the Trill Symbiont Institute and current host or desperate to find a new host for Vex Symbiont. Starfleet did its best to keep the host alive. Thanks to several experimental medical procedures they were able to extend the host life, but not fully repair the host body and it was slowly failing. Vex met Nyla well it's host was on the bio bed at Starfleet Medical, slowly dying a painful and slow death. Nyla had no idea why the symbiote Institute had selected her her number was really small on the approval listing she always assumed she would never be accepted even though she passed the basic requirements. She had no idea that several other house had previously declined to accept the symbiote due to its bio child nature and it's established history of rejecting hosts. Vex was brutally honest with Nyla, it almost made her cry the first time they met. But she told the symbiote that the symbiote needed her more than she needed it. This was the first time a host had actually defended itself and Vex was Mildy surprised. Against all belief the symbiote had chosen Nyla. ---------------------
Service Record		Starfleet Academy ----------------------------- She excelled in her studies at the Starfleet Academy, where she specialized in tactical operations, political studies and infiltration techniques services. Her major focus was tactical operations she scored the highest in those fields before her entrance. It was a lot of work, memorizing Star charts, memorizing political dynamics of an unstable galactic political powers of the alpha and beta quadrants. She had to research every single major power understand their abilities and understand their limitations it wasn't easy work by any means. Well most of her fellow cadets were learning about Starship operations or security procedures or command protocols he was learning about the bigger picture and her job as an intelligence operative and how she would be a vital asset to any Starship or Starbase she served on. Nyla was in the top 10% of her class. She always aimed for first but always fell a little short. The position just always seemed to reach, even though she was gifted but so is every kid in our class and it was hard to shine the others. It made several good friendships, during her academy days but she kept most people at the distance. Mainly because she didn't want to create long-term friendships and relationships knowing that she was probably going to be placed on a deep space assignment and that her life would be chaotic. Nyla knew that intelligence operatives had to be flexible. She had no idea where she was going in life or with Starfleet. Nyla knew she could be serving a starship, she could be on a starbase or she can be on some small little Scoutship in the middle of nowhere. It was hard to make plans for a future with anyone with that uncertainty lingering over her. Nyla decided to focus on her studies and when she completed the academy she could revisit the idea of relationships. It was a lonely time for her which didn't help her confidence at all, but the focus allowed her to stay within the top 10% of her class. USS Concordia, Intelligence Officer Nyla not ready for the whirlwind of excitement that hit her all at once when she became a Starfleet officer. Serving on a Starship was nothing like living on an academy grounds. Things seem to be more organized and tension focused. Where the academy seem to be chaotic fun and parties. Not that there wasn't any fun or parties on a Starship it was just a different type of vibe. They were older officers serving with them and older enlisted men and younger enlisted men and younger officers it was just a variety of different people all coming together from different cultures and backgrounds and ideas. Part of her missed the structure of the academy days. Even though she missed the structure of the academy days she did like serving on a starfleet vessel. For the next year she served aboard the Concordia, her direct supervisor of Vulcan Lieutenant, the ones gave her high praise saying she was proficient at her duties. He didn't have very good things to say about most of the his crew under him. She wasn't really fond of his leadership style so logical and avoiding of emotion but yet she could always sense even though she's not a telepath that his emotional feelings are on the surface and he always seemed agitated. When the first opportunity for a chief intelligence officer became open she applied for it, she was surprised that she was accepted. She sent you had to wait at least another year or so she was just hoping to get her foot in the door letting Starfleet know that she was ready for the next step. She didn't realize that her commanding officer had given her a glowing review, but yet only calling her proficient at her duties. She wouldn't learn that till later.
