Family

User:Salak/Salak/Family or merge with User:Salak/Salak/Personal History?

Salak has a typical Vulcan family although the nature of their environments have impacted each persons personality. Vorak is a traditionalist, whilst T'Plar is a more caring, typically motherly figure who does suppress her emotions but not to the extent that most Vulcans would. T'Pel is yet to really grasp logic and has little control over emotions, partially due to an upbringing on Andor away from any Vulcans with the exception of her family.

Personal History

User:Salak/Salak/Personal history

Salak was born in Raal province on Vulcan on January 8th, 2359 to his parents; Vorak and T'Plar. Their first child, he spent the early years of his life on his homeworld. When Salak was five, his fathers promotion meant that the household swapped the warm desert of Vulcan for the icy moon of Andoria, where his sister T'Pel was born two years later.

Starfleet Assessments and Records

User:Salak/Salak/StarFleet Records

Salak graduated the Academy in October 2381 and was quickly assigned as an Engineer onboard the Steamrunner-Wolverine Class USS Wallace, posted to the station Deep Space 17. He became the acting Chief Engineer in February 2382, a position which became official in August of that year.

Salak remained Chief Engineer of the USS Wallace until it was decommissioned in April 2383. His next posting was as Chief Engineer on the USS Independence. After the destruction of that vessel later that year, he was reassigned to the USS Ronin as a Mission Specialist. The Vulcan didn't spend long on Ronin, moving to a classified assignment before joining the USS Independnece-A less than a year after he'd joined Ronin.

He spent eight months with the new Independence, leaving with half of the senior staff for the USS Tiger, commanded by the Independences' former First Officer, Sidney Riley.

Working Areas

Subordinates

As Chief Engineer of the USS Wallace, Salak was the Senior Officer for the Engineering department of the vessel and thus members of the department were his sub-ordinates. Due to the nature of the vessel, the Engineering department was usually divided into Teams, a system Salak would later use on other vessels.

Salak's Assistant Chief on Wallace was Ensign McLoughlin. Upon the Independence, his new assistant was Ensign James Culan and he also worked alongside Indy veteran Chief King until the vessels destruction.

As a Mission Specialist on Ronin and the Independence-A, Salak had no true subordinates. His role meant he operated between departments, rather than within one.

Guilds & Duty Post Groups

Salak is a member of the Guild of Vulcans, the Readers Guild and the Starfleet Corps of Engineers, Starbase 118 Division
