Brief Biography
Born on New Vega mining colony, Tobias spent his life growing up moving from starship to starship while mining asteroids for rare materials. When Tobias turned 18 he joined his father in the asteroid mining business. Spent 3 years as a Heavy equipment operator and Material handler before moving into maintenance.
2 years into his role as heavy equipment operator, Tobias was involved in a serious mining accident that left him stranded in an EVA suit inside a collapsed asteroid for almost 20 hours. Several miners were killed during the event. Suspicions pointed towards the Orion Syndicate, but no concrete proof ever appeared.
While on a classified mining operation on the planet marked on the star charts only as AM-731, his mining team came under attack from a squad of Jem'Hadar forces. Marines from the USS Charleston were sent as an escort and were engaged in heavy fighting. Tobias would meet and assist Hannibal Parker, a marine, during much of the fighting.
On 238311.30 while on board a starfleet transport on route home, the ship suffered engine troubles, Tobias assisted the crew in making repairs. The captain recommended Tobias join the Academy. After 4 years on 238803.21, Tobias graduated with a major in engineering and a minor in helm/ops and reported for his first duty posting.
While on his first mission, Tobias nearly died while making emergency repairs to the deflector controls EPS conduits, directing the power flow away from damaged portions of the ship. Was revived by Security Chief Martinez. Tobias then grew to become a respected member of the crew, using his maintenance expertise to keep the Challenger as close to perfect working order as was possible.
During the shore leave following the mission to the Xarantine home world, Tobias was contacted by his 'watcher' Jubal Early and given an ultimatum, return to his former smuggling duties for the Orion Syndicate or have his past reviled to his captain. Tobias refused to be blackmailed and his past quickly became common knowledge. Lt. Parker in a fit of rage over what he believed to be Tobias's involvement in his parents death resulted in an incident in main engineering that resulting in Tobias nearly being choked to death by the massive security officer.
Both men would quickly develop an understanding that they needed with the other offered if they were to have any chance at revenge for what they had suffered from the Syndicate.
The Challenger was quickly tasked with finding a Bajoran vessel suspected of carrying a stolen thalaron weapon to be used on Star Base 118. The crew was quickly devised a plan and boarded the vessel preventing major catastrophe. But immediately after the mission, the crew would be merged with the crew of the USS Constitution aboard the freshly recommissioned USS Ronin. Captain Tel-ar, Tobias's first captain would be reassigned to Star Base 118.
Tobias then received the promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade and was made acting Chief Engineer aboard the Ronin, by his new CO, Cmdr Tallis Rhul. During that mission, Tobias boarded an Orion shipyard complex and assisted in uploading a computer virus into the main computer core, shutting down the shipyard. The team he was a part of discovered a stolen Defiant Class vessel, The USS Avenger and hatched a daring rescue mission to steal it back from the hands of the Orion Syndicate and the Scarlett Brotherhood.
After this mission, Tobias was promoted to the position of Chief Engineer and given command of the engine room.
The Ronin was then tasked with assisting the Camarian Delegation with studying a solar eruption known as the Prominence of Peace. The scientific study quickly turned into a rescue mission as the flare was several orders of magnitude larger than expected. Tobias beamed over to the Camarian Observatory to assist in the rescue operation where he suffered flash backs to the incident at the AM-731 mining outpost, After stunning the Prime Minister, he returned to the Ronin.
Tobias has now transferred to the engine room of a new Oracle class vessel, the USS Mercury.
