* On two separate occasions, Solok was captured and tortured by hostile aliens (on the first occasion, Solok was tortured while imprisoned aboard a [[Herpitite]] vessel; on the second occasion, while imprisoned with [[Rhys Bejain]] on a [[Tzenkethi]] base) intent both on gathering information about the [[USS Kodiak]] and its mission, as well as ultimately destroying Solok mentally, physically, or both.  Eventually, such torture must take its toll, even if the subject is a [[Vulcan]], and Solok -- with the assistance and intervention of his wife, Sakorra Reed, and his Commanding Officer, [[Hollis Calley]] -- voluntarily removed himself from active duty to pursue treatment at the Bajoran Center for Victims of Torture.  The Bajoran techniques were not as helpful for Solok as was required, however, and Solok chose to depart Bajor for Vulcan.  Before leaving, Solok sent to Hollis the gift of a rare Bajoran orchid.

* Solok spent the next eighteen months completing his training for the Kolinahr ritual but did not undergo the Kolinahr ritual at that time.  During his most recent Leave of Absence, however, Solok returned to Vulcan and underwent renewed Kolinahr training. Having successfully undergone that ritual, Solok is Kolinahr-u, a Kolinahr disciple, and has found the extreme repression of all emotions associated with Kolinahr to be of particular use to him in coming to terms with the ravages torture caused to his mental and emotional calm. His devotion to Kolinahr has, however, put a strain on his personal relationships.

* '''Private''': As of stardate 238701.01, Vulcan High Master Torat acknowledges Solok's ascension to the rank of Vulcan Master. Solok will heretofore be recognized on Vulcan and by Vulcans as a highly advanced practitioner and teacher of the Vulcan telepathic disciplines. He will retain his status as Healer of Vulcan simultaneously with his ascent. '''Note''': This information is not to be shared with or reported to or by Starfleet institutions or personnel, except in personal communications authorized and delivered by Solok himself.

# '''Lieutenant Junior Grade [[Fargit]]''', [[Tellarite]] male (PNPC). Fargit began his Starfleet career by refusing to follow in his parents' footsteps as engineers, thus alienating himself from his family and much of his species. He pursued a career in healthcare instead, earning a medical degree and being assigned initially as a Counselor aboard Starbase 118. After a long series of bad performance reviews -- his insulting manner was somehow misinterpreted by his clients as untherapeutic -- he was transferred to Medical, where he quickly demonstrated to his superiors that his real talent may lie in treating those patients no longer able to be insulted. He serves as the Coroner aboard Starbase 118.

# '''Lieutenant Commander [[Gurmeet Singh]]''', [[Terran]] male (PNPC). Singh is an observant Sikh who was born and raised in a small Sikh community on Mars. He is affable and compassionate, but nevertheless a highly skilled warrior, making him in some ways ideally suited to service in Starfleet. He joined Starfleet to escape what he felt as a young man was the stifling and dull existence in the Sol system, but has found himself stationed regularly in the least adventurous posts in the galaxy. At present, he serves as the Director of Security of [[Starfleet Medical Outpost Alpha-J99]], in [[The Shoals]].

==Trivia==

* [http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/library/characters/DS9/bio/1115101.html Captain Solok] of the [http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/library/ships/article/123106.html USS T'Kumbra] (famed for his relationship with Captain Benjamin Sisko, formerly of Deep Space 9 and the USS Defiant) is the son of a distant cousin of Solok's.  Solok has long suspected that he is the Vulcan Captain's namesake.

* Solok had the privilege of being the only member of Starfleet after whom a slug -- ''Limax solokia'' -- has been named. He cares for one member of the species in an aquarium in his quarters, and refers to it by its genus name, Limax.
