Meng was a master of many martial arts and to no ones surprise soon became fascinated with Klingon culture. Soon he had mastered [[ma:Mok%27bara|mok'bara]] and competed in many competitions. On StarDate 238101.26, at the age of 17, Meng traveled to the Gamma 400 System where Starbase 12 was hosting the UFoP's martial arts championships. In the quickest knockout in the competitions history, the young Kerelian defeated the reigning champion to earn the T'letyn Sash (Grand Champion). It was only natural that he also mastered use of the [[ma:Bat%27leth|Bat'leth]]. His talented use of the fearsome blade was noticed by a Klingon student while on [[ma:Aldebaran_III|Aldebaran III]] 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. | Meng was a master of many martial arts and to no ones surprise soon became fascinated with Klingon culture.

After his graduation the young Kerelian was restless and wanted to see more of the Galaxy. He traveled extensively to refine his martial arts skills as well as his language skills. While winning more and more competitions in both music and martial arts something was still missing. As a child he loved a mystery. So after a few days of thought and sub-space communications with his parents, he submitted his application for Star Fleet Academy and was soon accepted. Surprisingly Arshak was more supportive this time than Nshan. On 238501.20 Meng packed up his Bat'leth and entered Star Fleet Academy. Now he just needed to decide between Fleet Marines or Fleet Intelligence. Cadet Tian's journey had started. | After his graduation the young Kerelian was restless and wanted to see more of the Galaxy.

Meng Ishkan Tian entered Star Fleet Academy on StarDate 238501.05. Being the third Kerelian accepted to Star Fleet Academy was an honor. The first being [[ma:Nella Daren|Lieutenant Commander Nella Daren]] and the second [[West,_Heath|Major Heath West]]. 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Conrad Joseph Conrad], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Agent ''The Secret Agent'']. Fluency in seven galactic languages, ([[Romulan]], [[Klingon]], [[Cardassian]], [[Chrysalian]], [[Delbian]], [[Tholian]], and the almost impossible [[Jarada]]n) combined with his martial arts skills would seem to be a good fit for a career in intelligence. | Meng Ishkan Tian entered Star Fleet Academy on StarDate 238501.05.

Cadet Tian wished there was a minor for Fleet Marines but that was something that could not be had. He did make Marine friends and trained with them when the opportunities were had. The hardened Marines were impressed with his toughness and expertise with the [[ma:Bat%27leth|Bat'leth]] and invited him to holodeck battle simulations. | Cadet Tian wished there was a minor for [[Marines|Star Fleet Marines]] but that was something that could not be had.

The first year for the cadet was surprisingly dull. He arrived at the Academy prepared for the grueling physical training and his mental discipline from his music and martial arts background allowed him to focus on his studies where he excelled. Always with a smile and upbeat attitude, Cadet Tian became a favorite at the academy. He spent much of his spare time helping those who had problems with the physical training and organized a [[ma:Mok%27bara|mok'bara]] club. This was noticed by the cadre and soon they tested his leadership abilities by making him a Cadet Squadron Leader. | The first year for the cadet was surprisingly dull.
