Personal History
Meng Tian was born Arshak and Nshan on the planet Marlonia in the province of J'latoun. Meng's parents, both professors at the Marlonian Institute of Technology, encouraged Meng at a a young age to explore all that was around him. All Kerelians from a young age study music and are well versed in most of the galaxies genre. Meng and his brother were no different. Ironically, Kerelian culture discourages creation of new music styles and his parents, Kerelian fundamentalist, adhered to this philosophy. Meng was not content to just study the music styles of others. He wanted to express his creativity and create unique music styles . So at the age of sixteen Meng applied to and was accepted to the the Aldebaran School of Music.
Meng was a master of many martial arts and was fascinated with Klingon culture. It was only natural that he mastered their combat styles to include the use of the Bat'leth. His talented use of the fearsome blade was noticed by a Klingon student while on Aldebaran and subsequently was the first Kerelian to be invited to the annual Bat'leth competition on Forcas III. He finished the competition with many injuries but was able to achieve Junior Champion Standing.
After his graduation the young Kerelian was restless and wanted to see more of the Galaxy. He submitted his application for Star Fleet Academy and was accepted, and entered on Stardate 2389. An exceptional cadet, Meng did have a few run ins with the Dean of Students for tardiness. Although not proven, Meng's taste for Aldebaran Whiskey and late nights with other "attractions" in the San Francisco area might have been the cause.
Meng is a very upbeat, glass is half full, type of Cadet. The cadet has an eidetic memory and can recall any event or fact that he has ever been exposed to. This ability along with his natural superior Kerelian hearing has graced Meng with the fluency of 7 Federation languages. Meng is interested in being assigned to Tactical, Science, or a most sought after Star Fleet Intelligence posting.

Awards & Commendations
Star Fleet Academy
Meng Ishkan Tian entered Star Fleet Academy on StarDate 238501.05. Being the second Kerelian accepted to Star Fleet was and honor. The first being Lieutenant Commander Nella Daren. Unlike most cadets, Meng knew what posting he wanted after graduation: Star Fleet Intelligence. Ever since he was a little boy he was fascinated with spy and mystery novels from all over the Galaxy. His favorite book was by Earth's Joseph Conrad, The Secret Agent. Fluency in seven Federation and other languages, (Romulan, Klingon, Cardassian, Chrysalian, Delbian, Tholian, and the almost impossible Jaradan) combined with his martial arts skills would seem to be a good fit for a career in intelligence.
UFoP SB 118 Training
Cadet 1st Class Tian was assigned as Tactical Officer for the duration of training on SB 118. Satisfactory completion of this training was required to earn the Ensign rank and to be assigned to the fleet. Cadet Tian performed well as Tactical officer during a simulated crash of a shuttle on a "N" class moon. Despite injuries he suffered during the simulated crash, Tian gathered pertinent information which was valuable to his crew. Throughout the simulation he remained positive and upbeat. Cadet Tian graduated on 238901.23 and promoted to ensign. He was assigned to the USS Discovery-C as an Intelligence Officer.
