S'Raga: Difference between revisions

At the age of sixteen, S'Raga challenged the Caitian Aviation and Spaceflight test and earned his Pilot Training License allowing him to fly air and spacecraft within the Caitian system under supervision. If S'Raga wasn't in school or sleeping, he was in the copilot seat of his father's ferry, learning every aspect of the flight. Over the following two years, S'Raga had become adept enough to fly the entire trip without his father's assistance. He knew his father would have preferred for him to stay as his ferry copilot, but S'Raga would never be satisfied remaining in the Caitian system flying at sub-warp speeds. His resolve to join Starfleet academy was as strong as ever, and he submitted his application at the first chance he could.

===Starfleet Academy===

In 2395, S'Raga was accepted into Starfleet Academy in San Francisco on Earth. Attending the Academy marked his first time leaving the Regulus system. S'Raga found that the climate in San Francisco wasn't dissimilar to that of his home-city of Dorlin, however he did have some difficulty adapting to certain cultural differences, such as the staggering variety of foods and other people's overt friendliness. During his first few months at the Academy, S'Raga would often feel overwhelmed, and would retreat to his quarters to recenter himself and write to his family. Over time, however, S'Raga grew more accustomed to life on Earth and embraced its eccentricities.
