Timeline

---

• 236603.17 -- Born on Lemnos Colony in the Bollore Homestead
• 238403.17 -- Enlists in Starfleet, reports to Basic Training
• 238405.30 -- Reports to USS Litana
• 238604.01 -- Reports to Starfleet Technical Services Academy; is roomed with James "J-Rod" Rodney. Two become best friends until Gervan received an appointment to Starfleet Academy
• 238909.01 -- Reports to USS Hygeia as a senior propulsion specialist. Almost immediately begins to be mentored by the ship's Chief Engineer, Commander T'Adlea. At Commander T'Adlea's prompting, Gervan eventually applies for and is accepted in Starfleet's program to recruit potential officers from its enlisted ranks.
• 239203.04 -- Reports to USS Hinode, an impulse only vessel assigned to the Solar System as a platform for graduate and undergraduate students to study the Earth's sun. As such, the vessel never travels further than Mars' orbit. Gervan serves as the ship's Chief Engineer and Master-At-Arms, the latter position of which mainly consists in breaking up fights among the students while they are on board, and bailing out the rowdier ones when they're down planetside. Normally, the position required someone with the minimum rank of Chief Petty Officer, and was usually held by a Senior Chief Petty Officer with security cross training. However, the Hinode was due to be taken "off duty" for maintenance within a few months, the number of students who would be on board was smaller than usual, and Gervan's application for the position came with the recommendation of a highly regarded senior officer in Starfleet's engineering community. In the end, it was decided to give the soon-to-be cadet some practical, if limited, "command" experience
• 239208.26 -- Reports to Starfleet Academy
• 239605.26 -- Graduates from Starfleet Academy
• 239608.26 -- Reports to USS Columbia

Lemnos Colony

---

Lemnos Colony was founded sometime in the early twenty-second century, though records, both on Lemnos Colony and on Earth, are incomplete. Lemnos lore suggests that at least two colony ships arrived at the planet that would become known as Lemnos colony, though again, there is no hard evidence to either prove or disprove this theory. Finally, the name Lemnos is purported to have been taken from the first colony ship to arrive on the planet, though there is no record of a ship named Lemnos having been constructed or loaded on Earth.

Lemnos circles around a dwarf yellow star, similar to that of Earth's, though Lemnos is approximately one and a quarter astronomical units from its star. In addition, it takes Lemnos five hundred and twenty-six days to orbit its sun. The Lemnos 'day' is approximately twenty three and a half hours.

The common joke on Lemnos is that their planet has two seasons: summer and hell. Summer on Lemnos, which last approximately six terran months, has been compared to an alpine summer on Earth. For the rest of the Lemnos year, the planet is wracked by powerful storms and bitter cold, and life on Lemnos (including the colonists) retreat underground. The original colonists mitigated the effects of the harsh non-summer seasons with primitive weather control, which was augmented by the Starfleet Corps of Engineers upon Lemnos' "rediscovery" by the USS Naxos.

The USS Naxos discovered the Lemnos Colony quite by accident in 2364 (two years before Gervan was born). Although aid and assistance was rendered to the newly discovered colony, Lemnos raised to a (minor) degree of importance due to the Klingon-Federation War and the subsequent Dominion War. Construction of a fleet yard was begun in the Lemnos system, but with a shifting in the war, the original plans were scrapped and the yard became a minor depot and repair post. Nonetheless, Lemnos did see an influx of Starfleet and Federation Personnel and, during its 'summer' (now extended to eight months, thanks to Starfleet Corps of Engineers' weather control and terraforming technology), Lemnos is actually a pleasant planet to take shore leave on, though it is by no means a 'Risa.'

Although the 'native' language of Lemnos is Breton, upon its reconnection with the Federation, Standard was quickly taken up by the denizens of Lemnos, though there are pockets on Lemnos where only Breton is spoken (or where the residents pretend not to understand Standard, at any rate). This is especially true in certain cafes, even in larger settlements, where signs outside will be posted stating, in Standard, "Breton Only Spoken Here."
