Elashia Ki'te stands apart from the Seyalian people in that she is unsatisfied with seeking life only among her people. She would not accept a life of comfort once she met a Holographic doctor. She was fascinated by a thinking, interactive personality with whom she does not need to control herself.
She made it her goal to make a career in developing new and improving existing holographic aids and environments. She learned that the brightest minds in the industry were from Starfleet. As such, she made it her goal to be accepted, and work her way through the academy.
Four years later, she was assigned to the Holographic research department at Jupiter Station. There she worked with a team of others and distinguished herself. She rose to a top position, was promoted and was being groomed to take over the department. CDR Clements, her direct supervisor, sponsored her to take the classes to prepare her for the new responsibilities and worked closely with her to ensure that she would succeed.
Without explanation, Elashia requested a transfer, giving up a promotion which was already in the works. She was approached by officials and informed as a telepathic species, would be offered a transfer not only to a new position but to the whole of a new galaxy. Where many dangers seek to infect the mind with fear, attacking where many have no understanding or defense. The challenge appealed to her, and she accepted.
Accepting a position as a computer engineer, she asked only to be permitted space, to be allowed to work on her own, where she could concentrate without needing to maintain strict controls to avoid enticing others.
Family History[]
The Ki'te family is rather insular. Normally, Seyalian people remain on their world. They are content to exist among their own people where freedom of emotions and sensuality is absolute. Elashia has little contact with her world since joining Starfleet, though this is not a shunning, it is a separation to help her to maintain her ethical strength.

Service Notes[]
Elashia Ki'Te is, as the rest of her people, pacifistic. As she has a taken a vow of chastity as part of her service, she also has a deeply held restriction against personally taking a life.
