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.

Career History

File:Cadet.jpg
Cadet (237708.12 - 238110.23)

Salak first attempted to enter the Academy in 2376 but his third placing in the entry exam was not sufficient to gain him entry. However, Salak did manage to enter the Academy on his second attempt in 2377. His training cruise took place during the fortnight of 238110.10 to 238110.23, upon the ending of which Salak graduated and became an Ensign. He majored in Engineering, specialising in Matter/Antimatter Reaction Assemblies (Warp Cores), but nearly failed the basic medical courses.


 
Ensign (238110.23 - 238207.20)

Salak's first posting was as an Engineering Officer aboard the Steamrunner-Wolverine Class USS Wallace. He joined the crew on Stardate 238110.28, with Lt.Cmdr Stirling and Lt.Rumanov as his Superiors in the Engineering department. His first mission on board involved an apparent encounter with a Dyson Sphere.

Within 5 months of joining the USS Wallace, Ensign Salak was the acting Chief Engineer and the vessel found itself answering a distress call from the FTS P'Kothla. Not all members of the department were happy to serve under Salak, as was shown most dramatically by Marcus Henderson who attempted to destroy the P'Kothla. After escaping from the Brig soon after, he went on to destroy Salaks Quarters on the Wallace and caused major damage to surrounding sections.

The P'Kothla was destroyed due to a combination of a Warp Core Breach, SIF failure and Sabotage. However, the mission resulted in Salaks promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade; Commander Kare'en citing a "calm head in extreme circumstances".

Lieutenant Junior Grade (238207.20 - 238501.23)

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 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.

In 238304, Salak was transfered to the USS Independence, under the command of Admiral Anassasi, as the new head of that vessels own engineering department. Shortly after, the Gorn attempted to invade the region with attacks on multiple Starfleet targets; Independence amongst those under fire. The Warp Core was ejected and the resulting explosion threw the Gorn off the Independence's trail but a "dead" Gorn in Sickbay escaped and managed to break into Engineering. The Gorn was knocked out by gas pumped into the room but not before he'd killed at least one Crewman and badly injured Salak. Salak survived the ships destruction in the Battle of Eratis on stardate 238309.27.

After a short return to Deep Space 17, Salak was assigned as Mission Specialist aboard Cmdr. Idril Mar's 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 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 mission, Lt. Reynolds assigned to the mission away team.

Lieutenant (238501.23 - Present)

After promotion to full Lieutenant, Salak continued to serve as a Mission Specialist upon the USS Independence-A. On Stardate 238505.04, he was amongst those transferred to the USS Tiger, under the command of long time colleague Sidney Riley. Tiger is the third ship of the Steamrunner-Wolverine class that he has served upon, having started his career alongside then Ens Riley on the USS Wallace, and acted as ACEO of the Phoenix-C in late 2384.
