Alya Kade was a Starfleet officer and one of the original members of Starfleet Special Investigations. A Joined Trill, she was only the second host of the Kade symbiont, one of the few symbionts born in the 24th century. She served in Starfleet since the outbreak of the Borg War, and saw action in several key engagements before she was headhunted to join SSI. There she was assigned to Echo Team, and partnered with Lieutenant JG David Jackson. She was well known for her steady demeanour, keen investigative instincts, and excellent understanding of Federation justice and Starfleet procedure.
The current status of Alya Kade is unknown.
History
Alya Kade was born Alya Tarrick on Trill. She spent much of her youth working in her father's workshop, where she picked up several skills in mechanic work. Nevertheless, she entered Starfleet Academy before the outbreak of the Borg War, and studied and trained as a Security Officer.
Some time after graduating, she was joined with the Kade symbiont, whose only previous host was the legendary Bruen Kade. It is known that whilst Alya's father survived the Borg attack on Trill, her mother has been missing with no trace. In addition to this loss, her fiancé Jorzan Dal, a fellow Starfleet officer, was reported Missing in Action in the second Battle of Khitomer.
In 2391, Kade transferred from her position as Chief of Security on board the USS Fearless and was assigned to SSI. She was one of the individuals hand-picked by Deputy Director Captain Logan Callahan. There she was teamed up with former pilot Lieutenant David 'Smoke' Jackson in an unlikely partnership. Nevertheless, their first assignment was successful, and they identified the source of stolen Starfleet weapons being given to dissidents on Vega Prime. This investigation would lead to future arrests across a network of arms dealings, though they did not make a final arrest of the suspected mastermind, Vincent Black.
In the wake of this success, Kade and Jackson were formally teamed up on a full time basis. Within a month they successfully thwarted an effort by rogue officers to steal supplies from Starbase 414. At this time the partnership between the two seemed rocky, their differing approaches to work clashing, but this case was followed before they could address that with a crisis of a hijacked freighter near Antares.
The Kade Symbiont
Alya was only the second host of the Kade symbiont. The first host, Bruen, was a true renaissance man, who had mastered fields of philosophy and politics alongside an illustrious Starfleet career. He was most notably involved in the Cardassian War, but still engaged himself in the rebuilding of Cardassia in the aftermath of the Dominion War. It was then that he met then-Gul Lann.
His wife died of cancer, despite long efforts by Bruen to save her.
