Nahla Ake was a Human-Lanthanite hybrid who is the Chancellor of Starfleet Academy in the 32nd century. (SA: "Kids These Days")
Early life[]
Ake lived for a time in the Janaran Sanctuary on Betazed. She called the planet "paradise". (SA: "Beta Test")
Post-Burn career[]
Ake lost her son, who was a cadet at Starfleet Academy, in the Burn.
In 3180, Captain Ake served as the ranking officer at the Federation outpost of Pikaru. She presided over the cases of Nus Braka and Anisha Mir, who had been apprehended after a theft that involved the murder of a Starfleet officer. Despite Anisha only having been an accomplice and in care of a young son, Caleb, Ake reluctantly sentenced her and Braka to a penal colony. Ake attempted to see to Caleb's welfare, but Caleb escaped Pikaru shortly after and disappeared.
Ake came to deeply regret following the word of law over her conscience in separating a mother and child, and resigned from Starfleet. She became a teacher at Little Blooms on Bajor, all the while searching for Caleb's whereabouts.
In 3192, Fleet Admiral Charles Vance offered Ake the position of Chancellor at the newly recommissioned Starfleet Academy, now split between its original San Francisco campus and the USS Athena. To convince her to accept, Vance informed Ake that Caleb had been incarcerated on Toroth. (SA: "Kids These Days")
