Brief History

Family History

Head of the Lor family household, Lona, became a Starfleet ambassador in 2360. This career change made the family move to Earth. In 2365 Saden was born; he is the only child in the Lor family that was not born on Betazed.

Growing Up

Saden and his older brother Joren struggled fitting in on Earth. They grew up in rural New England due to his father's preference of "living in solitude"; a very rare trait for a Betazoid. The isolation from their kind created difficulty for the children. His brother having to adjust from a Betazoid lifestyle to a mostly human one, and Saden lacking guidance from no cultural identity, created riffs in the family.

Pre-Starfleet Career

Saden graduated with a degree in xenopathology. Out of college, he was hired by pharmaceutical company DRX-Pharma. His job was to help design medications for newly discovered sentient life and civilizations. They were headquartered on a deep space station, partaking in work that benefited species from non-Federation planets in their sector of space. Around 2389, two planets that held high value contracts with DRX began their early steps in becoming members of the Federation. By 2392, assets of the company were sold off to Ferengi investors of 4Lobe Holdings. Finding there to be a lack of profits in xenopharmaceuticals, 4Lobe changed DRX's industry focus from medication to... food processing. They were now being used to grow meat for the (in)famous burger bar: Bimmy Juffet's Vargaritamill. With not many pathology career options in meat-making, Saden made the decision to return to Earth and continue his science career in Starfleet.

Love Life

On his trip back to Earth, Saden had to change ships at a space port taken over by Maquis Reborn operatives. In his evacuation shuttle he met the love of his life: Iso Briza.
