The first of the Jaxa Hosts was Menolly named for her mothers human best friend. Menolly spent her childhood with her Trill father and her Cardassian stepmother. Her mother died in child birth leaving her father to raise her, in the early years the only female influence she had was her mom's best friend who tried to help her father out in any way possible. When She was about 8 years old her father moved them to earth were he continued his medical practice. She eventually ended up with 2 half sisters. Menolly entered medical school to follow in her fathers footsteps and befriended another Trill named Jebel Jaz who taught her many Trill customs and traditions she was not familiar with since she grew up on earth. It was this friend who had given her the idea to go home to Trill and go ahead of the Trill Symbiosis Commission. After her initiate program she was then sent back to earth where Jaz became her field docent later that year Menolly became the first in her family to be joined. She then went to work for her father studying the DNA make up of children born from different species of parents. The Second host was Tobias Kingsley. Tobias was a federation doctor who served for over 30 years on a star ship. He

then retired on Trill with his wife Tavah who was not welcome at home for refusing her arranged marriage with a

Vulcan High Command officer. Tobias never had any children and died in his late 90's as a result of mourning his

late wife who died 10 years earlier in a shuttle accident, Tobias never really got over her death. The Thrid Jaxa symbiont was Morio a talented musician who lived his life out on Trill writing symphonies and

performing for and teaching Trill children. He always tried to get children involved with music and art saying the

universe was a better place with it. Morio was on earth in San Francisco performing during a festival when he was

bitten by an earthen insect and poisoned. When taken to the nearest infirmary his diagnosis wasn't good and the doctor suggested they find a Trill on Earth quickly for the symbiont would never make it back to Trill in time to be joined and so Morio died at the age of 73 without ever marrying or having any children of his own.

Asteria is the current host of the Jaxa symbiont. Her Father sat on the board of the Trill symbiosis Commission.

Asteria grew up as a only child both her parents were joined and expected nothing less from her. She was sent to

only the finest schools and was expected to out perform everyone. She always took joy in making those around her

happy. Her parents wanted her to remain on Trill and marry accordingly she tried to appease them for as long as she could but her love of science and technology was too great.

After telling her parents she wanted to travel and see the universe she joined star fleet which caused a

fall out between her parents and herself. Her primary learning curriculum was science. Her father told her he would not have a daughter that was locked away in some lab and not to bother coming home again unless she would marry the man of their choice and give up foolish childhood fantasies such as star fleet. While her mother was disappointed she tried to talk him out of it without much hope. Asteria then left home at 17 and joined the star fleet academy.

Two years later at 19 she applied with the Trill symbiosis commission hoping to regain her fathers approval at her mothers suggestion. She never expected to be excepted so early. The commission allowed her to go through with the initiate program and her field docent at an early age because of her fathers position on the commission. She was told that when she was the appropriate age she would get a decision on her joining. She finished on Trill only

to be back on speaking terms with her father but not much further. He was still not very happy about her joining

star fleet.

She then returned earth side to continue her training at star fleet academy. She expected the decision would

not be made for quite some time with her being only 19 years old and and still in the academy. After only being

back earth side for about two weeks she was contacted rather urgently from a nearby doctor and the Symbiosis

commission telling her she was to be joined and to be at a meeting the next day. Asteria was shocked but boarded

the next transit to the hospital where the meeting was taking place. She had no idea what was in store for her.

Expecting to be told she would be joined when she was old enough and after graduation. Asteria felt

confident she would be back at the academy by late afternoon. She met with a dapper young doctor who was a joined

Trill who explained the joining process to her in depth and asked if she was ready. Reading the very confused look

on Asteria's face the doctor asked if she had been told yet. Replying that the symbiosis commission did indeed tell

here she would be joined at a later time. Asteria had assumed it would be later in life. The doctor then told her

the Jaxa symbiont was in the hospital and was told that the previous host Morio was being being kept alive after a

fatal insect bite and that all brain function has ceased and she was the nearest Trill to the location that had

gone through the initiate program and field training that had not been declined. The doctor must have picked up on

her worried look and assured her that even with her young age the commission was sure of their decision to pick her

and she wasn't being thrown into it just because she was the closest Trill.

The doctor told Asteria to prepare herself for the joining that would be performed within the next two

hours however she felt fit. Asteria quickly called home and informed her parents of the decision for her joining.

Much to her surprise they already knew about the joining. Then she knew why they had really picked her because of

her father's position. She then made her way to the cafeteria and had some lunch in complete silence before she

returned to the room she left the doctor in letting him know she was has ready as she would ever be.

The joining went smoothly with no problems or concerns. At the age of 19 she was one of the younger Trills to be joined she then spent the next year learning to adapt to joined life while finishing her studies at star fleet. After Graduation from the academy with a PhD in chemistry and physics she served for two years aboard a star ship in the alpha quadrant surveying the make chemical make up of the moons atmosphere.

At 21 she returned home during leave before accepting a new assignment on the USS Manticore. While on Trill she contacted her mother and learned of her fathers death. He was rock climbing with some colleagues in the Tenaran ice cliffs and took a wrong turn off the trail only to be met with a steep fall. She stayed with her mother and mourned briefly for her father before setting of for her new assignment. As she sat waiting for the transport she went over her the orders once again trying to decipher the sketchy directions she was given.
