Rajik was born in 2263 on the Gideon homeworld. At the time, Gideon was vastly overpopulated, with 500 billion people living on the planet. When Rajik was 5 years old, a Starfleet captain named James Kirk inadvertently introduced a disease, Vegan choriomeningitis, into the population. Within 10 years, 98% of the people of Gideon had died from the disease. Rajik and his immediate family survived, and he lived out his childhood in relative peace and tranquility. | Rajik was born in 2263 on the Gideon homeworld.

Rajik left school at the usual age, but did not pursue higher education right away. He moved out of the family home when he was 29 years old, but stayed close by for several decades. Eventually, he and his sister formed a successful folk duo that performed in venues all across the planet. Gideon physiology and the paradisical Gideon homeworld allows Rajik's species to regenerate their bodies to extend their lifespan, which Rajik did for the first time in 2295. | Rajik left school at the usual age, but did not pursue higher education right away.

Rajik always possessed a curiosity about the galaxy, was always discouraged from leaving his home planet, as Gideons are incapable of regenerating their bodies off-world. By the 2390s, however, he decided it was time to learn more about the universe beyond Gideon, and he successfully convinced his family that joining Starfleet was the best way to do this. With their blessing, he enrolled at Starfleet Academy in 2394. Rajik has fears about serving in Starfleet because his unique Gideon abilities can't help him, but he thinks that aging and mortality are a reasonable price to pay to expand his knowledge and explore the galaxy. | Rajik always possessed a curiosity about the galaxy, was always discouraged from leaving his home planet, as Gideons are incapable of regenerating their bodies off-world.
