Thalen comes from a fairly prestigious family. His grand father started Lorell Shipping, which is now a multimillion-credit corporation based in the Alpha Centauri system. When Thalen was old enough his grandfather put him to work in the company as an intrasystem shuttle pilot, running small cargos from one planet in the system to another. This was where Thalen discovered his mechanical aptitude, when he had to jury-rig the shuttles engines in deep space after they failed on him. Soon his grandfather had him fixing shuttles instead of flying them. Eventually Thalen applied to Starfleet Academy and was accepted in the Enlisted Program. He chose engineering as his field of expertise and excelled in his studies. He was chosen for the Advanced Research Engineering program at the Academy, and pulled his first tour at Earth Station McKinley, where he was helping to refit starships. It was during this time that he met his wife and was married. They soon started a family. His second tour of duty was spent at Utopia Planitia, before being reassigned to the USS Trieste.
