Background and History:(please make sure there is enough time in your character's life to do all that you state)
Lara's obsession with space started at a young age on her parents farm in Iowa. She spent many nights staring at stars and dreaming of star ships and adventures. She made every effort in school to pull in the kind of grades that would get her into Starfleet Academy. Once there she studied hard and found her niche in Operations. Briefly married her husband was deployed on another ship and never returned. She bore a daughter Gillian whom she raised with her on her first deployment as a junior Operations Officer aboard the USS Sabre. Lara worked hard and rose steadily. When assigned as Chief of Operations aboard a small science vessel she returned her daughter to Earth and her parents farm. At age 28 returned again to Earth for a stint in Command school and by age 30 was Lt. Commander and Executive Officer of USS Surprise. three years later she was given command of the ship.
At 41 Lara Rell was transferred and given command of the USS Fearless a Galaxy class vessel and again brought her daughter aboard to live with her. She'd often reflected that those two years when she was 16-17 and before Gillian herself went to Starfleet academy were the most difficult of her life. The next eight years of her life were spent in command of this ship. When she left, it was to return to San Francisco and Starfleet Intelligence.
Now, due to the battle damage to the ship and command crew of Nike she has been assigned by Starfleet to oversee refit and readiness of the ship and crew. Intelligence indicates there is immanent need of Nike in full battle ready condition as soon as possible.

Lara waited outside the Admirals office for her designated appointment time to arrive. Just before the clock ticked over.she was looking at the portraits on the wall and discovered the one of Admiral Janeway one of her personal hero's. She'd actually met her once when she was Executive Officer of the Surprise, but that was more than 20 years ago.
"The admiral will see you now" said the young aide and then opened the door for her. After she passed into the room he closed the door silently in her wake.
She crossed to the desk and presented herself "Sir" she said.
He rose and shook her hand. "Please be seated Captain" he graciously indicated a comfortable chair across from him.
"I have your report on the recent uptick in Borg activity and we've begun the requisite preparations however, we've recently had a serious incursion of which I am sure you are aware." She nodded in response to his statement
"One ship was destroyed and one of our Galaxy's, the Nike took some heavy damage including to her command team. The bridge was pretty badly damaged. Her XO I'm sorry to say was killed and the Captain severely injured. Her Second Officer has managed to pull the crew together and get the ship back home. She will be arriving shortly."
Lara was aware of all this and not quite sure where he was taking his train of thought.
"Lara," he said leaning forward. "I have a personal history with Nike, she was my last command. I'd like you to take her and get her ready. She needs a solid experienced command team and I can't think of anyone I'd rather put in that chair."
"Alfredo, I would be happy to take Nike, you know how much I enjoy the command of a starship." He smiled at her.
"Somehow I thought you'd say that" he said. "I'll send you my best and brightest to fill out the crew roster." he added.
"Thank you sir" she said.
"No," Admiral Alfredo Yu said rising again to his feet "Thank you, Captain Rell." He reached again across the desk to take her hand "I loved that ship, Take care of her. Dismissed"
