Salak/Professional History: Difference between revisions

'''Salak's Professional History''' has been a long and distinguished one. The Vulcan has served under four Commanding Officers since completing the academy, and his engineering expertise has been put to use with the position as head of the Engineering Department (Acting or Permanently) on no fewer than four Starfleet facilities. He has twice been decorated, as a recipient of both the ''Sarpedion Award'' and ''The Order of Starfleet Merit and Achievement, First Class''.

Salak first attempted to enter the Academy via Andors application system in 2376 but his third placing in the entrance exam was not sufficient to gain him entry. He made a second attempt the following year, narrowly placing first and thus being accepted to the Academy.

With the bombing of his quarters fresh in history and his father asking for assistance on [[Andor]], Salak started his time as a Lieutenant Junior Grade with time at the [[Vulcan Embassy, Andoria|Vulcan Embassy]] on Andor. He returned to [[Deep Space 17]] on 238208.20, and was officially granted the position of Chief Engineer at a mission briefing on Stardate 238208.30.

After the ensuing mission, the crew gathered for the annual Awards Ceremony, at which Salak was awarded the TOSMA1. In 238303, just as repairs to the Wallace after the 2382 Bombing were completed, scientists analysing [[Eratis]] warned that Deep Space 17 was in danger from the star which showed signs of instability. Salak was injured in a Plasma Fire caused by a ruptured EPS Conduit early in the preparations to defend from the star.

After a short return to Deep Space 17, Salak was assigned as Mission Specialist aboard Cmdr. [[Idril Mar]]'s [[USS Ronin|Ronin]], his first assignment outside the Engineering department since the academy. He did not stay long on Ronin, reassigned on classified business after barely a few months. He was later reassigned again to the [[USS Independence-A|new Independence]] on stardate 238409.10. He served as mission specialist for a single mission, investigating the loss of the [[USS Euphrates]], before the ship was drydocked for a refit. The crew transfered to the [[USS Phoenix-C]] temporarily with Salak serving as Chief Engineer for the following mission, Lt. [[Reynolds, Quinn|Reynolds]] assigned to the away team visiting [[TE-IV]].

After the encounter with the Reapers, Salak was one of several officers promoted and was given the additional role of Tiger's Second Officer. In his new role, he quickly faced several new challenges; leading an inter-departmental meeting prior to launch on a mission to [[XB3]]. Salak took command of the Bridge for the first time, and was plunged straight into the deep end upon taking the command chair as two explosions rocked the ship.

Salak is a member of the [[:Category:Guild of Vulcans|Guild of Vulcans]], the [[Readers Guild]] and the [[StarFleet Corps of Engineers|Starfleet Corps of Engineers, Starbase 118 Division]]
