The ship is currently assigned to region of space known as [[The Shoals]]. | ||
Evan's life has largely been defined by his struggle to find balance between his Vulcan and human halves, and this struggle has led to occasional emotional turbulence in his life. Of note, Evan pleaded guilty of assault, conduct unbecoming of an officer, and illegally using a Vulcan mind meld against an unarmed prisoner during a court martial in 2392. Evan was nearly expelled from Starfleet, but extenuating circumstances, and a previously sterling record ultimately led to clemency. Although Evan tried to return to duty following this incident, he eventually asked for his Starfleet commission to be officially suspended. Several months later, he accepted an assignment from [[Federation Security]] to infiltrate, observe, and report on the ''[[Reya-Laialara]]'', a Vulcan splinter group, from their hidden settlement. | |||
During his time with the enigmatic group, Evan found himself drawn to the organizations philosophy of emotion balanced by logic, and soon developed conflicting loyalties. When Captain Rosa Carrero was murdered and her death linked to the Reya-Laialara, Evan returned to the public eye to help find her killer. As a result, Evan joined the crew of the Veritas as a civilian advisor. Several months later, he reactivated his Starfleet commission and fully joined the crew. First, as operations officer, then as first officer. | |||
During Evan's time in Starfleet, he has also served on various vessels taking part in the Menthar Corridor expedition, including ''[[USS Garuda]]'' and ''[[USS Invicta]]''. He also served on the ''[[USS Tiger-A]]''. | |||

Their meeting extended into a short-lived affair which ended when Evan's father, Kedall, confessed that he was married. Ashamed at what he saw as an "emotional outburst," Kedall returned to Vulcan and broke off all contact with Evan's mother. During his early years, Evan had a troubled childhood in which he struggled to control his erratic, sometimes violent emotions. He resented his stepfather and refused to accept his surname when he married his mother. Though Evan and his stepfather have since reconciled their differences, he continues to use his mother's maiden name. Evan's inability to control his emotions eventually got him into trouble after he severely injured another classmate after a minor disagreement. | ||
:Evan was to be admitted to a juvenile rehabilitation center until Kedall intervened and offered to take him to Vulcan to be properly trained to control his emotions. Temporarily placed in the guardianship of his biological father, Evan lived on Vulcan for five years. Though he struggled to fit in just as he had on Earth, Evan learned to control his emotions through the use of basic Vulcan meditation exercises combined with his devotion to learning ''Suus Mahna'', a defensive Martial Art. | :Evan was to be admitted to a juvenile rehabilitation center until Kedall intervened and offered to take him to Vulcan to be properly trained to control his emotions.

:Evan entered the Academy as an engineering major in imitation of his civilian parents. He struggled to adapt to the rigorous academic requirements of the school and nearly washed out. The mentorship of Commander Tarla Dean gave him the tools he needed to recover, and at her urging, Evan transferred to the Security Department. He had to work harder than most to succeed, but excelled in combat and tactics training. He spent a considerable amount of his free time with the Academy's mixed martial arts club, which he used to fulfill his athletic participation requirement. Evan spent almost a full year on a cadet cruise aboard the USS Centaur where he was eventually promoted to Acting Chief of Security. He was briefly transferred to the Starbase 118 Academy campus to complete training aboard the holographic [[USS Centris-A]]. After graduating, he was commissioned to the [[USS Tiger-A]] as a security officer. | :Evan entered the Academy as an engineering major in imitation of his civilian parents.

Evan was injured during an away mission and, upon his return to the Tiger, was forced to take medical leave for several weeks. By the time he'd been deemed fit to return to duty, Tiger was on route to receive a major refit. Evan was given a temporary reassignment to the [[USS Garuda]] following a recent refit. The Galaxy Class ship's tactical systems had recently undergone significant improvements, and Evan's combined experience in both Operations and Security made him an ideal candidate for the assignment. Evan only learned that his assignment was being made permanent when most of the crew of the [[USS Mercury]] was transferred to the Garuda. | ||
:Aboard the Garuda, Evan held a variety of posts, first as a helm officer, then as the assistant chief of security/tactical, and most recently as the head of the ship's small strategic operations department. Evan was assigned to the Chief of Security/Tactical position in 2391. In mid-2392, Evan was transferred to the [[USS Invicta]] along with all of the Garuda's senior staff, though Evan was relieved of duty shortly thereafter due to misconduct during a prisoner interrogation. Following a court martial, Evan was demoted to the rank of Lieutenant and sentenced to two years of bond, pending good behavior. Relieved of his duties as a department chief, Evan was assigned to serve as the ship's tactical operations officer. Shortly thereafter, Evan requested an indefinite leave of absence. | :Aboard the Garuda, Evan held a variety of posts, first as a helm officer, then as the assistant chief of security/tactical, and most recently as the head of the ship's small strategic operations department.

:During this time, Evan was approached by Federation Security, who asked him to increase his contact with the [[Reya-Laialara]] with the ultimate goal of allowing him to join the enigmatic organization and report back on any suspicious activity. Evan accepted the assignment, and took the opportunity to join the organization at the end of 2392. Over the next few months, Evan sent back several reports before ultimately breaking off contact. He was quietly declared Missing in Action shortly thereafter. In 2394, the USS Veritas was dispatched to the Shadow's with orders to find and determine Delano's relationship to the assassination of a Starfleet captain. | :During this time, Evan was approached by Federation Security, who asked him to increase his contact with the [[Reya-Laialara]] with the ultimate goal of allowing him to join the enigmatic organization and report back on any suspicious activity.
