Biographical Information
An experienced starship captain of mixed heritage. Captain Ohsala is the child of a Bajoran father from Deep Space Nine and a Vulcan mother who served on the T’Kumbra. Growing up on Vulcan, she struggled to find a place for herself in her mother’s culture but has found her purpose in Starfleet. Her service record is solid but not stellar, with strong performance punctuated by occasional reprimands and a history of substance addiction.
Declassifications as of 2422 link Captain Ohsala to a number of past joint operations with Starfleet Intelligence against enemies such as Species 8472 and the Cardassian dissident movement. While she is known to have been attached to the Delta Quadrant Task Force for some time, her record from this period remains largely closed.

2399: Added by CMDR Sarsh th’Zern, SKOC Chief of Personnel: This is to notify that LTJG Ohsala presented me this morning with a request for a discharge from Starfleet. After consultation with the Lieutenant, I have agreed not to accept her discharge request. She appeared to be in significant emotional distress and professed an extreme discomfort with what she characterized as emotional abuse she had experienced while serving in Shi’Kahr. I have arranged for the Lieutenant to undergo counseling with a non-Vulcan professional through SF Correspondence Counseling in the hopes that a solution can be discovered. The Lieutenant’s service record otherwise shows competence, and it would be a shame to lose a good officer.
2399: Added by LT Jehlani Ibrahim, SF Correspondence Counseling: After a virtual consultation with LTJG Ohsala, I hereby grant her six months’ leave to recover from the negative effects of her professed snakeweed addiction. I also observe that her posting to Vulcan has particular emotional resonance with her due to unresolved psychological issues pertaining to her background. I am recommending she be reassigned away from postings on Vulcan until she is able to complete both addiction counseling and cognitive therapy.
2399: Placed on medical leave.
2399: Added by LT Jehlani Ibrahim, SF Correspondence Counseling: I hereby affirm the statements of Bajoran Militia Coun. Itan Lesso.

2405: Added by ADM Pavel Kubikov, SF Operations: This is to recognize LT Ohsala Rinn’s valiant efforts to save the crew of the Chokwe by programming the ship’s computer to continually utilize the injector array to progressively dampen a mounting core breach. While nothing could have saved the ship, this action delayed the core breach to allow 100% of the surviving crew to escape, with the only losses being those sustained from injuries during the Klingon attack. For this effort, the Lieutenant is inducted into the Karagite Order of Heroism.

2409: Billet changed to Commanding Officer, USS Swift Current.
2410: Added by ADM Don Lews, SF Operations: CMDR Ohsala is hereby awarded the Citation for Conspicuous Gallantry for successfully discovering and thwarting a Klingon strike force attempting to enter Federation space by landing inside a rogue planetoid and drifting it across a tachyon detection grid.

2420: <DECLASSIFIED SD 99482.1> Added by ADM Porak, SF Intelligence: CAPT Ohsala and the crew of USS Sachem, in concert with Gul Calun of CUV Gredol, Cardassian Union Navy, successfully completed operations in the Torinok system to eliminate Cardassian rebels poised to support the planned coup of Legate Brun Perak. During the operation, damage sustained to Sachem's nacelle pylons resulted in the separation of the nacelle from its pylon. Structural analysis has confirmed this incident was the result of stress damage exacerbating inadequate repairs conducted when Sachem underwent refit for this problem in 2413-14. I have ordered Sachem drydocked for retrofit and strongly recommend an inquiry as to the adequacy and conduct of the vessel’s prior refit.
2420: Added by FADM Jor’el Quinn, SF Command: In view of the recent damage to USS Sachem caused by the sudden separation of one of its nacelles from the pylon, I hereby affirm CAPT Ohsala is not at fault for this “act of God”-type incident and approve her transfer to a new command. I also order that all installations of this type of nacelle onto non-standard hulls be reviewed.
2420: Posted to USS Kinistin NCC-82382, Akira-class, for aid mission to the Cardassian Union. Billet is Commanding Officer.
2421: USS Kinistin transferred to Starbase 514.

The crew of USS Sachem are collectively awarded the Starfleet Meritorious Unit Commendation for this action.
