Meng was a master of many martial arts and to no ones surprise soon became fascinated with Klingon culture. Soon he had mastered moQbara, and competed in many competitions. On StarDate 238101.26, at the age of 17, Meng traveled to the Gamma 400 System where Starbase 12 was hosting the UFoP's martial arts championships. In the quickest knockout in the competitions history, the young Kerelian defeated the reigning champion to earn the T'letyn Sash (Grand Champion). It was only natural that he also mastered use of the Bat'leth. His talented use of the fearsome blade was noticed by a Klingon student while on Aldebaran and subsequently was the first Kerelian to be invited to the annual Bat'leth competition on Forcas III. He finished the competition with many injuries but was able to achieve Junior Champion Standing. | Meng was a master of many martial arts and to no ones surprise soon became fascinated with Klingon culture.

He traveled extensively to refine his martial arts skills as well as his language skills. While winning more and more competitions in both music and martial arts something was still missing. As a child he loved a mystery. So after a few days of thought and sub-space communications with his parents, he submitted his application for Star Fleet Academy and was soon accepted. Surprisingly Arshak was more supportive this time than Nshan. On 238501.20 Meng packed up his Bat'leth and entered Star Fleet Academy. Now he just needed to decide between Fleet Marines or Fleet Intelligence. Cadet Tian's journey had started. | ||

Meng Ishkan Tian entered Star Fleet Academy on StarDate 238501.05. Being the third Kerelian accepted to Star Fleet Academy was an honor. The first being [[ma:Lieutenant commander|Lieutenant Commander]] [[ma:Nella Daren|Nella Daren]] and the second [[West,_Heath|Major Heath West]]. Unlike most cadets, Meng knew what posting he wanted after graduation: Star Fleet Intelligence. Ever since he was a little boy he was fascinated with spy and mystery novels from all over the Galaxy. His favorite book was by Earth's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Conrad Joseph Conrad], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Agent ''The Secret Agent'']. Fluency in seven galactic languages, ([[Romulan]], [[Klingon]], [[Cardassian]], [[Chrysalian]], [[Delbian]], [[Tholian]], and the almost impossible [[Jarada]]n) combined with his martial arts skills would seem to be a good fit for a career in intelligence. | Meng Ishkan Tian entered Star Fleet Academy on StarDate 238501.05.

Cadet Tian wished there was a minor for Fleet Marines but that was something that could not be had. He did make Marine friends and trained with them when the opportunities were had. The hardened Marines were impressed with his toughness and expertise with the Bat'leth and invited him to holodeck battle simulations. | |||
The first year for the cadet was surprisingly dull. He arrived at the Academy prepared for the grueling physical training and his mental discipline from his music and martial arts background allowed him to focus on his studies where he excelled. Always with a smile and upbeat attitude, Cadet Tian became a favorite at the academy. He spent much of his spare time helping those who had problems with the physical training and organized a moQbara' club. This was noticed by the cadre and soon they tested his leadership abilities by making him a Cadet Squadron Leader. | |||
The years passed quickly for Meng. An exceptional cadet, Meng did have a few run ins with the Dean of Students for tardiness. Although not proven, Meng's taste for Aldebaran Whiskey and late nights with other attractive "attractions" in the San Francisco area might have been the cause. The following is from a cadre's evaluation on Cadet Tian: | |||
''"Cadet Tian is a very upbeat, glass is half full, type of cadet. The cadet has an eidetic memory and can recall any event or fact that he has ever been exposed to. This ability along with his natural superior Kerelian hearing has graced Meng with the fluency of 7 galactic languages. Cadet Tian is interested in being assigned to an Intelligence posting aboard a StarShip. I highly recommend Cadet Tian further intelligence training and assignment as an [[StarFleet_Intelligence|Intelligence Officer]]."'' | |||
Cadet Tian graduated on StarDate 238901.05, 5th in his class, with a Major in Intelligence and a Minor in Science. | |||
