===Prior to Starfleet===

* Having trained as a Physician specialising in Emergency Medicine, Saveron worked at Kal-an District Hospital in Southern Han'Shir, [[Vulcan]]. He developed a talent for and appreciation of the nature of his work, and in time came to be the Senior Medical Officer in charge of the Emergency Department. Following his first encounter with an injured alien, Saveron and his family moved to ShirKahr, the Vulcan capital, where he could study Xenobiology at the medical school of the Vulcan Science Academy. He completed his Masters in the subject, but left before finishing his PhD, following the breakdown of his relationship with his bondmate.

* He completed his PhD in Xenobiology at the Federation Centre for Xenobiology Research, studying Xenononosis, the process whereby a disease passes from one alien species to another. Here he came under the tutelage of [[Bakewell,_Ramsey| Professor Ramsey Bakewell]], an eminent and respected Xenosociologist who had a profound influence on Saveron and greatly assisted with his adaption, at a mature age, to the poly-species culture of the wider Federation, and encouraged him to enter Starfleet, as the logical place to gain greatest exposure to alien patients.

===Duronis II Embassy===

* Following his graduation, Saveron was assigned to the [[Ronin|USS Ronin]] under the command of [[Turner,_Toni|Captain Toni Turner]], and transferred with the rest of her crew to the [[Embassy_of_Duronis_II|Federation Embassy on Duronis II]]. Captain Turner's origins as a medical officer meant that Saveron respected her greatly as a commanding officer. He developed good working relationships with the majority of the crew, but particularly those members who had joined at or around the same time; Engineer [[Mc_Ghee,_Jaxon|Jaxon McGhee]], Marine [[Green,_Isaac|Isaac Green]] and Counsellor [[Yael,_Ashley_Deneve|Ashley Yael]].

* On Duronis II Saveron had regular interractions with the local [[Laudean]] peoples and become interested in both their culture and their Fielding abilities.

* Following contact with an ancient Bajoran artifact, Saveron became possessed by an ancient Pah Wraith previously trapped within the object. Whilst on a routine tour aboard the [[USS_Thunder|USS Thunder]] - the support ship assigned to the Embassy - under then Lieutenant Commander [[Rhul,_Tallis|Tallis Rhul]], Saveron, under the Pah Wraith's influence, forcibly mind-melded with Lt. [[Green,_Isaac|Isaac Green]] and enforced a form of mind-control on him. Between them they took control of the Thunder, doing significant damage to the ship and killing several crewmembers in their efforts to reach Deep Space Nine. The situation ended in a confrontation between Saveron and Lt. [[Anora,_Manar|Anora Manar]], who had been possessed by a Prophet, doing battle in the hanger of the Captain's Yacht. Intervention by the Engineering team forced both beings from their hosts, but Saveron was left with the impact of what he had done, and the failure of his mental discipline to keep his invader out.

* Whilst aboard the USS Thunder, Saveron faced the difficult situation of treating Counsellor [[Yael,_Ashley_Deneve|Ashley Yael]]'s alcoholism. His friend hid how badly he was addicted, and Saveron had to respond to an emergency call when his friend collapsed. He later allowed Ashley to board the undercover Romulan runabout used as part of a rescue mission, and his professional judgement was called into question by Commander [[Rhul,_Tallis|Tallis Rhul]]

* Saveron facilitated the cosmetic transformation of several crewmembers to resemble Laudeans, in order to go under cover and rescue a kidnapped Laudean politician. He himself dressed as a Romulan since they were using a stolen Romulan runabout.  

===USS Mercury===

* Following a three month leave on Vulcan, Saveron was assigned to the USS Mercury.

* During a mission then Captain [[Rhul,_Tallis|Tallis Rhul]] reveals that the Mercury is also under orders from Starfleet Intelligence to undertake secret reconnaisence of Cardassian resources and military, using the ship's advanced sensor pod. This causes division amongst the crew and Saveron is firmly of the opinion that such is unethical and wishes to have no part in it. Commander [[Parker,Hannibal|Hannibal Parker]] and Commander [[Tobias_walker|Tobias Walker]] advocated expanding the Mercury's paultry offensive capabilities in case of attack. Saveron pointed out that to do so could make the Mercury appear as a greater threat, one that the Cardassians would feel they had to answer, and that if their spy mission was revealed, it could well trigger interstellar war. This led to a heated discussion with Saveron and Parker rapidly polarising to opposite sides of the debate which the two felt compelled to continue in the corridor after Captain Tallis had dismissed them. No agreement was reached, and it seemed to mark the beginning of sour relations between the pacifist and the warrior.

* Political considerations aside, Saveron was always responsible for the health of the crew and at that time was managing then Lieutenant[[Blake,_Sky|Skyleena Blake's]] pregnancy which was complicated by stress and depression and he felt that he could offer advice both as a medical officer and as a parent.  

* The appareance of the Menthar Anchorage, a cloaked and independant trading centre in the Menthar Corridor was a surprise to the crew, but not nearly as much as a virulent and potentially deadly case of Aldebaran Lunar Flu that the crew contracted due to an unquarantined shipment of Aldebaran musk rats. Unfortunately Saveron was one of the first to be infected and thus it was with decreasing efficiency that he worked from inside a containment in Sickbay with the infected crew whilst Lieutenant [[Ba'Eli]] worked from outside to synthesise a cure. Saveron acknowledges that, were it not for the Mercury's [[EMH(Mercury)|EMH]] the worst affected would likely not have survived; including himself.  

* The political situation in the Corridor was complicated by an attack on a Cardassian outpost by what was apparently a Federation ship. However the name, the ''[[USS_Nimitz|USS Nimitz]]'' was recognised by some of his colleagues as a ship that was captured by the Borg and assimilated. However it was not behaving in typical Borg fashion. The USS Mercury's encounter with the Nimitz led to the discovery that these Borg were a splinter group with their own collective, and Saveron's first ever encounter with a Borg Queen. His conversations with her intrigued him, as he sought to plant the seeds of an idea that might reduce the Borg's virulence.

* Shortly thereafter Saveron resigned his Starfleet commission for personal reasons and returned to Vulcan. It was over one Terran year later that Saveron began looking for a posting amongst the stars again and Captain Kells offered him a civilian posting aboard the Mercury once more.
