When StarFleet made first contact in 2379, followed by the Romulans and Zalkonians they set off a chain of events. The social upheaval that eventually led to the downfall of the Monarch caused rifts in Greir’s family, many of whom were staunch supporters of the Monarchy. Greir was a young man finishing education with big decisions to make about his future.

While some were suspicious or nervous of all the new species that’d suddenly made themselves known, Greir was intensely fascinated. This is one of his defining characteristics and he joined StarFleet in 2380 because of their considerable diversity. He wanted to learn more about each unique species, their culture, belief systems, history and more.

For the first five years of his life, Leo was raised in happiness and comfort on Earth, as his mother's husband Victor never questioned his legitimacy. But when his biological father found out about his existence, Leo was kidnapped and taken to his father's compound on Byzatium where he was renamed Graven Beaufytor and trained in everything from intergalactic politics to sword-fighting. It was his father's hope that one day Leo would take over his empire, and then the Byzallian government. When Leo was eighteen, his Father demanded that he join him in an assassination attempt against the Premier of Byzatium. Shocked by the treachery planned, Leo not only disobeyed his Father, but informed the authorities of his plot.

Leo Handley-Page returned to Star Fleet in 2389 and was called back to duty aboard the USS Vigilant as First Officer. He felt honoured to be given such a role, and was as unexpected as it was welcomed. Leo made his way to his new ship, which was to patrol a section of Beta-quadrant Federation territory which had been all but annexed due to the closing of Klingon borders. The USS Vigilant, assigned to the Zeta Gelis region and the planet Zakdorn, had access to the scores of colonies, homeworlds and starbases that found themselves under siege. Leo revelled in his forthcoming challenges.

Born in a small country town outside of San Francisco, Kael is firmly grounded in hard work. With a father who insisted that they would pay nobody else to fix anything, Kael quickly learnt from a young age how to repair anything, and often with substituted materials. As Kael grew older, him and his twin brother began to be used to doing things on their own. With two parents who decided to take on high ranking roles in Starfleet, the pair saw more of each other than they did their parents. Given that his parents dragged him all over the sector, they had the advantage of becoming very familiar with Starfleet. An advantage that would play out in their Academy years.

Being assigned to the Vigilant was one of Kael’s great hopes. He hoped that Vigilant would give him the new start he had been so longing for, after his LOA. A promotion to Chief Engineering Officer allowed Kael to naturally slot into an aspect of working aboard a Starship that he felt innately comfortable with. An eagerness that was put to use immediately on Zakdorn to get the unfinished Vigilant, ready to be launched. Kael during his mission was held captive at gun point for a short time. Brining up old memories of being held captive on an away mission, Kael has some inner demons that he reluctantly has to deal with.

Prior to Joining with the Zehn symbiont, his current host previously served onboard the Starbase 118, USS Victory and USS Resolution. One of many Starfleet brats to follow a parent into the service, Kaedyn was raised primarily by his medical officer mother. His sense of Trill culture is not particularly strong and unlike most of his species, he had no ambition to be joined with a symbiont.

2389 was literally a life changing year for Kaedyn Zehn. Following the death of Marine Captain Jilenna Zehn in a runabout accident, Kaedyn Tann became host to the injured Zehn symbiont. While this was supposed to be a temporary measure, the time during which host and symbiont could be safely separated passed and he has been adjusting to the major changes in his life. Given the experience of his previous two hosts, Kaedyn was transferred to the Black Tower as Chief Intelligence Officer during the Klingon invasion of the newly formed Thracian Alliance. Before the end of the year, he was reassigned to the USS Vigilant and is looking forward to what 2390 has in store for him and his crewmates.
