Life as an Émigré was not without its struggles, even for the indomitable spirit and smile of Anen. He took the death of his father hard, though rarely showed it as a service to others. His mother sank into a deep despair, one she has, to this date, not come out of. His siblings coped in other ways, most throwing themselves into something to take their minds off of their surroundings as relying on the charity of others. Itet became the mistress of a Betazoid man of the First House, whose hospitality they enjoyed, while Djoser helped to form a council of Émigrés, hoping to gain support for their cause. Anen coped by reading, reading everything he could, in a way, continuing his studies that had been so rudely interrupted. | Life as an Émigré was not without its struggles, even for the indomitable spirit and smile of Anen.

This was a fairly innocuous decision until Anen made the astounding decision to join Starfleet. As a person granted asylum, he didn't need a letter of recommendation, and was able to enter the Academy in the Fall of 2381. | This was a fairly innocuous decision until Anen made the astounding decision to join Starfleet.

A man from a somewhat technologically backward and isolated people, Anen's first months at the Academy were a complete culture shock. While he had learned enough complex knowledge required to enter the Academy, he found his knowledge of things like the advanced sciences and the entire history and culture of the Federation to be a bit alien. He had to work extremely hard in these opening months to catch himself up to speed on what it seemed was just about everything. While Anen had received a stellar education by Laudean standards, it had gaping holes in the context of advanced Federation knowledge. | A man from a somewhat technologically backward and isolated people, Anen's first months at the Academy were a complete culture shock.
