Ren attended Ledaro Regional University on Trill, where he pursued a double major in Business and Systems Operations – with an eye toward expanding and modernizing his family’s business – and a minor in Xeno-Linguistics – his own secret passion. This was at a time of war with the Dominion, but his parents insisted he stay in school on Trill rather than join a defense force or enlist in Starfleet like many of his friends. | Ren attended Ledaro Regional University on Trill, where he pursued a double major in Business and Systems Operations – with an eye toward expanding and modernizing his family’s business – and a minor in Xeno-Linguistics – his own secret passion.

In 2379, during the last summer holiday from school, Nevin Temitt, a Trill Ren dated on and off, was lost while traveling off world, presumed dead in a Borg attack. Ren became convinced that Nevin had become a drone, and this has given him a nearly paralyzing fear of the Borg. | ||
After school, Ren returned to Arnmere to apply what he had learned to the family farming operation. A few years of hard work changed Ren, as did the thought of what he could have contributed to the cause of peace during the war, when so many others sacrificed themselves. | After school, Ren returned to Arnmere to apply what he had learned to the family farming operation.

Alongside his education in systems technology and xenolinguistics, Ren pursued flight training first as a hobby, then as something more. Despite feeling connected to the land, he also felt a need to fly from it. By the time he attended the Academy, he'd already logged enough flight hours at home to have a high experience rating. That only went so far as he was introduced to the world of Starfleet craft. He applied his previous experience to the Academy training and focused on increasing his skills and knowledge, certain that piloting was what he wanted to do. | |||
Ren was posted to the [[USS Atlantis]], an exploratory and diplomatic vessel based at [[Deep Space 26]] in the distant [[Par'tha Expanse]]. Away from the Federation, this region of space is only partially explored. The Expanse is dense in natural anomalies, providing a challenge to any navigator. | |||
During Atlantis' first mission, Ren was instrumental in finding a way through the unnavigable Expanse. Atlantis was able to arrive on time for its diplomatic delivery to Uzoka 4, far across the Expanse from Deep Space 26. Along the way, Ren helped acclimate [[Rover]], a sentient cloud being from the Jenatris Cloud, to life among bipeds. | |||
Following this mission, Rennyn was promoted to Lieutenant (junior grade) at a ceremony held on Uzoka 4. | |||

Rennyn helped Astrometrics Chief Raine Vedra devise a better means of navigation across the unstable Par'tha Expanse through the use of advance probes. Rennyn's navigation through the treacherous Uzoka system and a battle with the Endangered Jenatris Species environmental activism group known as The Green Beaners tested his flight abilities to their limit. Ren grew close with an intelligent cloud named [[Rover]], who was meant as a gift from Haerin to the Krayav, but chose to remain aboard Atlantis. | ||
