PERSONAL HISTORY
Sophie Lovelace grew up thinking that the most important thing was the glory of the Federation, with an emphasis on a bloody and militaristic Federation. Joining Starfleet, she thought she could make the Federation better through this goal. While climbing the ranks of the Starfleet, she was intrigued by the Essentialists and wrangled an invitation to join them. Although she thinks the Essentialists are better than your typical organization in SF, she's lately become frustrated with their slow pace and is working with other disgruntled Essentialists to form neo-Essentialists.

Although she was able to do her work for the most part from her ship, the ACHERON, a run in with the GATEWAY during "Operation Shelley" and the aftermath which involved run ins with the USS EIDOLON, lead to her arrest. However as the evidence conveniently disappeared she was never charged with any serious crime and offered to resign in order to keep her name and avoid all minor charges. During her brief resignation she began her own company – Albatross Consulting – that specialized in military consulting. She only had one job – acting as a consultant to the GATEWAY staff. After that assignment, the statue of limitations on her previously pending charges were dropped and she re-entered Starfleet.

Sophie leaves very little time for a social life, instead always preferring to work on making herself better and the Federation what it should be. She was married once, however, to her former CO. Sophie quickly found it wasn't worth her time and energy so she divorced rather quickly.
