Captain Kristance Buelow is known for her steady leadership, strategic mind, and deep empathy for her crew. Unlike many Starfleet officers who grew up steeped in the lore of exploration and diplomacy through the lens of Star Trek, Kristance’s introduction to the series came later in life. As a teenager, she began watching it with her foster dad, Paul, whose kindness and integrity mirrored the very ideals of Starfleet. Paul’s influence left a lasting mark on her, shaping her sense of justice, curiosity, and responsibility. Today, Captain Buelow strives to uphold the principles that Paul lived by, forging a path of thoughtful exploration and inclusive leadership aboard the Cutty Sark. Kristance balances her role as the captain of The Sark with her life as a mother of three teenagers. Known for her creativity and curiosity, she enjoys weaving, reading, caring for houseplants, cosplay, and cocktails. A devoted fan of both coffee and tea, she appreciates the fortitude of Captain Janeway and the diplomacy of Captain Picard, but her true admiration lies with Captain Rachel Garrett of the USS Enterprise-C, whose courage and sacrifice deeply resonate with her. Grounded yet imaginative, Captain Buelow brings a thoughtful, compassionate approach to both her command and her family.
