"Hey, two sorties, two broken fighters, two trips to sickbay. At least I'm consistent!" -- Ensign Alleran Tan to Dr Sasak, June 2387.

Lieutenant Junior Grade Alleran Tan is Flight Operations officer and pilot aboard Starbase 118. Currently, Alleran Tan is (along with the rest of the Starbase 118 crew) serving a term in the Eratis system.

Biographic Information

  • Full Name:Alleran (Mapak) Tan
  • Age: 28
  • Species: Trill (joined)
  • Gender: Male
  • Hair color: Brown
  • Eye color: Brown
  • Height: 5'1"
  • Telepathic status: 0
  • Place of Birth: Trill Prime
  • Tattoos/Body Modifications: None
  • Skin Tone: Caucasian/olive, with dark Trill spots.
  • Handedness: Right.

Family

  • Parents: Mortila and Kataar, both unjoined.
  • Siblings: one sister, P'dell.
  • Spouse: none
  • Children: none
  • Former hosts: One, Marlee Tan.

Mannerisms

  • Quarters: Tan's quarters are sparse; he very rarely has any need for material goods. During the three month trip to Deep Space 17 and subsequent evacuation, Tan was quartered in one of the shuttles due to severe overcrowding.
  • Favorite Room: Pilot's ready room. Tan feels most at home with fellow pilots, although the crew of Starbase 118 are rapidly growing on him.
  • Mannerisms/Habits: Impulsive, even reckless, Tan's aggressive flying style has earned him both praise and scorn from his crewmates. Several notable "incidences" have lead him to begin to consider the wisdom of defensive flying, if only occasionally.
  • Temperment: Tan becomes nervous in formal situations, such as mission briefings. When relaxed, his sense of humour is often self-depreciating and occasionally crude.
  • Religion/Spiritual Devotion: Tan is not a religious individual, but he has an open mind towards spirituality of various forms.

Scorecard

Victories

An ancient Terran tradition was for pilots to record their victories over their foes. Tan has adopted this practice.

  • Ebon Hawk, frighter- 1/6th kill (assisted).
  • Vaadwaur Assault Fighter - 1 kill, solo.

Losses

Technically not tracked in any formal or informal sense, it is nevertheless important to point out Alleran Tan's defeats. Specifically:

  • Hammerhead Fighter, Starbase 118 (damaged): Damaged by onboard feedback device. The perpetrator was never apprehended.
  • Longbow Fighter, Deep Space 17 (lost and presumed destroyed): Damaged by combat. Two civilian children had snuck onboard, due to negligence on Tan's behalf (no preflight inspection was performed with no extenuating circumstances). When the civilians were discovered, Tan damaged the ship and activated his emergency transporter, hoping to hide the children in the wreckage. The Longbow was programmed to 'reactivate' after a time, then flee- but the civilians and Tan were picked up by a Maul from the USS Ronin before this took place. The damaged fighter was abandoned and presumed captured or destroyed.

Permanent Record

  • 2387, April: Commander Thelev reports that Alleran Tan performed well in a scramble-and-intercept sortie, despite accidentally boarding and subsequently damaging Commander Thelev's personal fighter. Tan assisted in the capture of a rogue civilian freighter, the Ebon Hawk.
  • 2387, April: Alleran Tan is treated aboard Starbase 118 for radiation burns and a broken femur resulting from damage to Commander Thelev's Hammerhead fighter.
  • 2387, June: Alleran Tan destroys a larger and better armed Vaadwaur Assault Fighter in a Longbow fighter, earning his first complete victory.

The Longbow Incident

  • 2387, June: Alleran Tan discovers two civilian children hiding on his Longbow fighter. He abandons ship, damaging it in the process, attempting to hide the two children in the "wreckage". Captured and abused by the vaadwaur but rescued by marines from the USS Ronin, a formal reprimand is issued; a note was placed in his permanent record by Tracey Townson that Tan was negligent in his duty, having failed to perform a pre-flight inspection before launching in a non-emergency situation.

Tan was specifically reprimanded for attempting to place blame on others, for going off-mission and complicating rescue, as well as the psychological effect of abandoning two children in the middle of a combat zone. Mention was made of his overly aggressive flying and reckless behaviour, with Tracey nearly considering taking him to Courts Martial. Major Rowten of the USS Ronin also lodged a formal complaint regarding Tan's behaviour, criticising the trill's plan to hide the children on a wreck as 'fundamentally flawed'.

Subsequently, Tan was stripped of his flight privileges and ordered to undergo 72 hours of remedial training before being offered the chance to re-qualify.

  • 2387, June: A note is placed in Tan's medical log stating that, possibly due to recent injuries sustained after bailing out from a Longbow, his isoboramine levels have fallen below average. The risk of symbiont rejection is classified as 'very low', with 5 cc's of benzocyatizine being prescribed by Dr Sasak.
  • 2387, June: Alleran Tan is promoted to Lt. Jr Grade. The loss of his flight privileges, however, remains.

Pre-Starfleet

Alleran Tan never wanted to be joined, but fate rarely plays out the way you want it to.

Tan lead a normal, happy but unremarkable life as a commercial shuttle pilot. A timid man, Alleran found that he possessed a natural gift for flying, flying gliders (and later atmospheric fliers) from a very young age. At age 23, a routine shuttle-run turned sour when an ionic storm caused his shuttle to crash on an abandoned moon. One of his passengers was the renouned trill scientist Marlee Tan, an exobiologist who specialized in the Borg. She was mortally wounded in the accident; the rescue party couldn't save her and her post extraction symbiont was also extremely weak. To preserve it, Alleran Mapak grudgingly agreed to become Alleran Tan.

The joining filled the otherwise meek individual with an arrogant confidence. Alleran very quickly became disinterested in such a mundane job as commercial piloting and enrolled in Starfleet as a pilot flying space-supremacy fighters, much to the horror of the trill symbiosis committee who felt he was endangering a magnificent, undeserved gift.
