Xenology Survey Services operates in two parts. One is that it is a seller of artifacts, treasures and antiques; second is as it says in the name - A Xenology service for hire.

The Shop

The Xenolgy Survey Services shop, located on Deep Space Five, is perhaps the classiest and most well dressed establishments on the station. Sporting fine clear glass windows and display cases that twinkle in the light; it is hard for any potential customer passing by not to be drawn in. On the inside rich mahogany surrounds the customer and warm inviting blues and reds make the customer feel at ease and welcome.

The highly qualified staff, all with real experience and expert training, will guide a customer through their purchase; as well as offering beverages to the highly valued persons. Information on each item is available giving a customer a clear view of its past and function. Some of the finest items are on display in the shop but there is a catalogue of items which are either too valuable to have on public display or there just isn’t enough room for. Private viewing areas have been put aside in the shop so a customer can take an item off display and give it a full examination before purchase.

Once a customer is prepared to make a purchase then they will be guided into the office. Customers are welcome to pay in a variety of currencies and can pay at once or in monthly installments. Xenology Survey Services also offers guaranteed delivery to any part of the Federation, Ferengi Alliance and selected parts of the Klingon Empire and Romulan Star Empire.

The Service

Xenology Survey Services offers themselves to any customer who wishes to discover information on both current and extinct unknown alien races. If you find yourself faced with an unknown life form or find the ruins of a long gone city then Xenology Survey Services can be hired to gather more in-depth information on the problems you are face. Skilled in areas such as archaeology, alien communication, engineering, science and many more such things the business is the premiere private Xenologists in the quadrant.

Xenology Survery Services has been involved in countless cases ranging from deep sea exploration to analysis of ancient ruins. The business has worked along side many partners even including Starfleet. Employees are also trained for dangerous environments and circumstances so that both they and their customers remain safe against any unforeseen events.

The K'Zhixrian G'Jeniva

The company's ship, the K'Zhixrian G'Jeniva, a Raven class vessel, hosts the ultimate in scientific equipment needed for all Xenology purposes. This acts as a field base when on site so all gathered items need not be shipped back to Deep Space 5 for an evaluation.

Xenology Survey Services offers high quality service at reasonable prices. Their offices are found on Deep Space Five but many deals are written up and agreed upon via sub-space communication.


The History

Xenology Survey Services was initially begun by one Dr. Jarvasius Taravin, PhD. Dr. Taravin was an undisputed master of his field, but was less so a business man. He knew, though, that the professional scientists were not the ones who often came across the most monumentous discoveries. Surveyors, colonists, and merchants were more often than not the ones who found archaeological or astro-geological sites of interest. As such, Taravin started hiring his services out to people who had little scientific expertise but still desired to know the significance of what they had found.

Taravin's Runabout allowed him significant ease with traveling around and lending his services whereever they were needed. However, the ship left much to be desired in the realm of field examination. Samples had to be taken and transported back to a central lab for analysis which took time and resources. Though Taravin's business had the expertise, traveling and working alone, he lacked the interpersonal skills to make business negotiations. As business began to wane, he eventually began to grow weary of the lifestyle.

At a pit stop, however, he met a young trill working at a scrap yard named Kaia. She was a lively technician with a penchant for archaeology. What she lacked in formal education she made up for with field experience and adaptability. After an exchange, Taravin opted for an early retirement, and Kaia ended up with the ship, a large number of PADDs detailing Taravin's research, and a deed to a new central office Taravin was intending to open on Starbase 11.

Though zealous, Kaia lacked in business savvy and social contacts. Upon reaching Starbase 11, however, she met her current business partner, an El Aurian named Haldamir. Centuries old, Haldamir had the client contacts and plenty of business experience to turn Xenology Survey Services into a thriving venture.

Political unrest upon the starbase forced Kaia and Haldamir to leave the station, and the business was left in Kaia's hands while Haldamir took time to deal with some personal affairs.

Having learned from Haldamir, Kaia took the reins and eventually took XSS to Obsidian Command. Terrorist attacks again forced the relocation of the XSS central office, this time to Deep Space five. However, en route, Kaia was attacked by pirates and was shot down. She managed to survive the ordeal, though the ship was destroyed. After hitching a ride to DS5, her insurance claim was more than ample to rebuild the business and purchase the new raven class vessel currently in use by the company.

By this time, Haldamir's other businesses had settled and he was again able to refocus his attention on Xenology Survey Services. He rejoined Kaia upon DS5 and the future is looking brighter than ever.
