====== Wimini Zolwink ======
Wimini Zolwink was the Chief Engineer of the [[USS Brahe]] from 2399 until her disappearance in 2420. She was succeeded by [[Lauren Lauren]] in the role. Prior to her disappearance, she made over 200 individual, complete engineering submissions to Starfleet ranging from micro-circuitry to starship designs. Though few of her over all inventions saw production, improvements to existing platforms were gleaned from the deluge.

====== Background ====== 

==== Early Life ====
Wimini Zolwink is one of fifteen siblings, heralding from the industrious planet Aktier V. Her people, the E’mong, typically stand below 1.5 meters, are quick-witted, and long-lived. While few of her people venture from the mega-city that is their world, Wimini chose to leave her home to pursue engineering in the Federation. Graduating from Starfleet Academy in 2362, Wimini joined Starfleet in an age of peace and prosperity which has yet to be matched. Although she enjoyed some initial successes in the Academy, instructors at the time noted that Wimini often rejected what she deemed “busy work” and often overworked in the pursuit of automation a minor task.

==== Career ====
After her initial posting nearly ended in disaster, Wimini bounced from ship to station, often times being transferred within only a few months of her arrival. In some cases, these transfers were made at Wimini’s request; however, most were intended to move an undesirable officer. Wimini’s advancements often came from moments of ingenuity or heroism, where her stubbornness was an asset. A total account of Wimini’s faux pas, diatribes, insults, and unfiltered opinions would be difficult to codify, let alone be believed. Regardless, Commander Zolwink has made the Brahe her longest-held post to date. Whether she can maintain it is questionable.
