Vordai i-Ra'tleihfi t'Krediv is a Romulan Republic exchange officer who has served on the [[USS Brahe]] since 2423. As an intelligence consultant during the ship's exploration of the [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Romulan_Neutral_Zone|Former Romulan Neutral Zone]] she was instrumental in ending hostilities with members of the [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Romulan_Free_State|Romulan Free State]] and their [[https://discord.com/channels/666064847250915329/1008178339300774018/1008185111080095744|attempts to destroy]] the [[Malag]] home world. 

===== Background =====

==== Early Life ====
Vordai comes from a traditional, if modest, family. [[s’Krediv]] is known for it’s dedication to service–both of her parents were officers prior to their marriage. Her father, [[Lieutenant Tren]], voluntarily gave up his commission when he wed [[Subcommander Lidrana]]. The couple had two children, Vordai and [[Veryn]], eight years apart.

For all intents and purposes, the family life and childhood of Centurion Vordai seems to be completely normal. She was not marked out for particular trouble or as particularly clever. It was assumed that she would enter military service and have a satisfactory career in the tradition of her family.

However, her life changed like so many others with the [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_of_the_Omarion_Nebula|Battle of the Omarion Nebula]]. Some weeks after the battle, the family was informed that her mother was aboard one of the vessels utterly destroyed by the [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Jem'Hadar|Jem’Hadar]].

Her fifteenth birthday was two weeks away.

==== Career ====
Upon reaching her fifteenth birthday, Vordai immediately entered the [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Imperial_War_College|Imperial War College]]. She attended throughout and applied herself in advanced course in internal security, interrogation techniques and espionage techniques and equipment. After successfully graduating from the College, she enrolled in the Romulan Intelligence Academy. Four more years of intensive study followed before she graduated.

Vorida served as an unremarkable member of the [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Romulan_military|Romulan Navy]] with no distinguishable career highlights.

++++ Redacted Career |
A redacted history of Vordai's career, restricted to Level 4 Clearance only, showed that Vordai was actually an [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Uhlan|Uhlan]] of the [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Tal_Shiar|Tal Shiar]]. Throughout her career, she held an unremarkable, impeccable record. There were no arrests, no suspicious activities, and never once did she find herself under investigation specifically. Her psychological profile at the time suggested that she would continue to serve in the loyal and competent traditions of her family, if in a different branch.
++++

==== Defection ====
It was with great surprise that Vordai defected to the [[https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/Romulan_Republic|Romulan Republic]] in 2409. Official records do not show why she chose to defect. Her reasoning was unclear. After a provisional period in which her loyalty as well as her skills were tested, she was granted full status and promoted to Centurion.

Since then, she has served with distinction, including on the JSI flagship–the [[R.R.W. Saeihr]]. Promoted to Subcommander, her reputation for excellent service and nearly fanatic loyalty has increased.

==== Mol'Rihan Incident ====
The only recorded information regarding the events on [[Mol'Rihan]] come from a classified audio recording:

 Audio Recording of Debriefing on Mol'Rihan

Audio Recording of Defection Debriefing
Subject: Vordai i-Ra’tleihfi t’Krediv

The recording begins with the sound of crackling static. As it clears, a faint shuffling sound of fabric upon fabric can be heard. Perhaps someone shifting in their seat. The interrogator’s voice is cold, unfriendly and unexpectedly deep.

“So, we have one Subcenturion Vordai I-Ra’tleihfi t’Krediv here. Defecting from the Romulan Star Empire to the Romulan Republic. This … interview… will serve as a debriefing.”

After a moment of silence, the cold voice begins again.

“Do we have your name correct, Vordai?”

The Subcenturion’s response is prompt, her tone full of gentle, mild amusement. Her voice is smooth, a mezzo in pitch, not too high nor particularly deep. An ordinary voice. A forgettable voice.

“Yes. I wasn’t aware we were on a first name basis, Riddor.”

“Oh, yes. We’re going to be good friends, Vordai.”

“As you say.”

“Where were you born?”

“Ra’tleihfi. Romulus.” The humor fades, leaving a tone of impatience.

“Tell us about why you joined the Tal Shiar.”

“Because I wanted revenge. The military killed my mother with their antics, but it was the Tal Shiar that ordered her there.”

“I don’t understand, you wanted revenge on the Tal Shiar so you joined them?”

“Yes.”

“Could you clarify that?”

“No.”

“And yet you’ve served… honorably… all these years.”

“I changed my mind,” she says simply. There’s the rustle of fabric on fabric again. Somone’s shifting position. The silence stretches and eventually, she continues. “I felt my loyalties to my fellow Romulans outweighed my desire for personal revenge.”

“I see.” Pause. “Why did you decide to defect to the Republic?”

“Because I was tired of grey.”

“No, really.”

“Yes, really.”

“You’re telling me that you left your career, your family–”

“My brother defected first and my parents are dead.”

“Is that why you defected? To join your brother?”

“Hardly.”

“Then answer the question.”

“All right. I defected because I was tired of yes meaning no. Of skies that were grey. Tired of the eye of the storm. Just tired.”

“And you think we’ll be better?”

“You’re certainly more idealistic. You can’t be worse.”

“Idealistic. Odd coming from a member of the Tal Shiar.”

“Former.”

“No such thing. Once intelligence, always intelligence.”

“then hire me.”

“Ha! As if.”

“It’s not your call, is it? You’re stuck here, doing interviews and debriefings while someone else is going to listen to this and make the decision. That’s fine. Let them listen. I, Vordai I-Ra’tleihfi t’Krediv hereby renounce my loyalty to the Tal Shiar and the Romulan Star Empire. I wish, wholeheartedly, to serve the Romulan Republic. In whatever way my skills can be of use.”

The speech is said in an impassioned tone of voice, determined and unwavering. For once, amusement, irritation, none of that matters. Every so often a thump can be heard, possibly an accompanying hit of the fist on the table that is surely there.

“Very pretty.” Slow applause. “I guess we’ll have to see if you’re being forthright with us then. Because with that little speech we can certainly blackmail you.”

“Only if I’m ashamed of it.”

“You really do have to have the last word.”

“Goodbye, Riddor.”

“…Goodbye, Vordai.”
