{{Heading|History|Gold}}
{{Heading|History|Gold}}
Middle son of a typical Klingon family. Raised as normal by Klingon standards, as usual with a major focus on martial prowess. His skill was adequate, but not noteworthy, compared to other students of the art. What he did excel at, was piloting, and as such focused more on that.


Stardate 236008.19: Born and grew up on the klingon world of Kerret'raa, as the eldest son in his family.
Stardate 238500.00 (approximately): His younger sibling was caught mating with the daughter of a rival family, and in the ensuing fallout, his family was falsely accused of corruption. Eventually, his family was facing such dishonor, that Korras made sure the blame fell upon him, and left the planet (and the empire in its entirety), to save his family the fate that was awaiting them. With border skirmishes with the Tholian Assembly breaking out, the resulting chaos and his departure resulted in no formal charges being laid against him.
Stardate 239100.00 (approximately): After several years spent as a hired hand on a freighter, providing them some extra security during and after several incidents with the Tholians, and learning to pilot in the process, this again ended in disaster. Pirates attacked the vessel, leaving them badly damaged and adrift after taking their cargo, which ironically was nothing more valuable than a large shipment of stem bolts. In a final twist of good luck, a starfleet vessel picked up the distress signal. Impressed with what he saw onboard this vessel, Korras decided to make a new life in the Federation. he made a formal request to stay in the federation, and once that was accepted, made the first steps to enlist at the Starfleet Academy.


On the cusp of adulthood, he ended in a situation that would have no positive outcome, whatever choice he made. Having been witness to the act of someone else, he had been framed to take the blame. He was faced with a choice: speak up, and dishonor his entire family, or remain silent, and be dishonored and cast out himself. He chose to bear the weigth of it himself, and left Qo’Nos, and eventually settled on a backwater neutral world near federation space. To make a living there, he started flying cargo shuttles.
Stardate 239603.25: Seeing as he was not a wanted man in Klingon space, his application to the academy was eventually accepted. At first, for obvious reasons, he enrolled in security. However, his skills, or rather lack of skills, with ranged weapons, and his prior experience at piloting, eventually caused a change in his classes to HCO. Often, his classmates would find him intimidating at first, with few people taking the time to get to know him. However, those that did found him to be someone they could rely on to support them. His grades were average, with the only true exceptions being his skills in close quarters and flying, and on the other end of the sprectrum, his barely-passing skill in ranged weapons. Overall, he never really stood out enough to get noticed, which suited him just fine, as the last thing he wanted was to cause his past to haunt him again.


He mostly keeps to himself, but displays a dry sense of humor. Although his main skill is as a pilot, he keeps his combat skills sharp, most notably with twin mek'leth blades. He prefers function over form: he generally keeps his quarters rather spartan, and both his bat’leth and mek’leth blades are modern alloys with little adornment, as opposed to the ancestral and almost ritualistic blades possessed by other Klingons.


At the end of the dominion war, which went largely unnoticed where he was, borders shifted slightly, and his world became part of the federation, and all who lived there citizens of that same entity. Korras made use of that some years later, as he became restless, and found he could become a pilot in Starfleet. As such, he applied for the Academy, and was eventually accepted.
