Nolen Hobart was born on Relva VIII in late 2375 as the Alpha and Beta quadrants recovered from the Dominion War. His mother, Mara Tarn, was a Betazoid refugee who had come to Relva VIII with Nolen's father. There they raised an infant Nolen under the protective pressurized domes of the Federation mining facility. | Nolen Hobart was born on Relva VIII in late 2375 as the Alpha and Beta quadrants recovered from the [[Dominion War]].

An only child, Nolen proved precocious at an early age, demonstrating advanced empathic abilities which, as a young boy, made him particularly prone to manipulation. Due to the emotional and physical trauma she suffered at the hands of the Jem'Hadar, Mara was somewhat absent, and Nolen did not receive the traditional reader training afforded to Betazoid children. The task fell to Nolen's human father, and to a lesser degree, other station personnel, to teach communal and interpersonal boundaries. The fact that Nolen's telepathic abilities were virtually nonexistent made this a feasible endeavor. | An only child, Nolen proved precocious at an early age, demonstrating advanced empathic abilities which, as a young boy, made him particularly prone to manipulation.

As a | As a teenager, Nolen began to resent his empathic abilities. Describing a "haze" of emotion that only he (and his mother) experienced, he struggled with a sense of isolation brought on by being surrounded by others. Pain, anguish, joy, hate, love, loss, and lust were equally oppressive to his mind. The emotional trauma suffered by his mother (and broadcast to his mind alone) was especially offensive to young Nolen. Through the help of the station's counselors, Nolen managed to get through depression and rage, but never quite escaped his resentment, or fully accepted his powers. | ||
It was at this time that he began to focus on machines. Tinkering became a pastime and consumed his every waking hour outside of his schooling. This eventually got him into some amount of trouble, and earned him a juvenile criminal record. Despite this, it also provided a path forward, as Omar encouraged Nolen to focus on this budding talent as a path to a career in Starfleet. With the help of his father and Commander Hael, that is what he did. | It was at this time that he began to focus on machines.

With the help of his father and Commander Hael, that is what he did.{{Heading|Career History|Gold}}Nolen entered [[Starfleet Academy]] in 2396 and quickly distinguished himself academically. His technical skills carried over well from his childhood hobbies, and in his early semesters he sampled a variety of subjects through his electives. In his second year, he elected to enroll in [[Starfleet Academy Survival Training/Tactics|Tactics: Combat, Marksmanship]] and [[Starfleet Academy Survival Training/Tactics|Tactics: Small Units]] and earned high praise from his instructors for a quick and firm grasp of all matters related to theory. On Stardate 239712.20, Cadet Hobart was approached about a transfer to [[Starfleet Command School|Command School]], in light of his performance in these classes, and a written offer was made. The change would likely add at least a year to Cadet Hobart's schooling, but of more concern was whether Cadet Hobart could effectively lead. He was not at all disliked by his peers, but he was not especially liked or admired. After discussion with his father, Nolen declined the invitation two days later, and thereon focused his Academy studies entirely on [[Academy Majors and Minors/Engineering|Engineering]] and [[Academy Majors and Minors/HCO|Operations]]. | ||
{{Heading|Service History|Gold}} | On Stardate 240001.12, Cadet Hobart boarded the U.S.S. ''Turneville'' for transfer to [[Starbase 118]] for his final training cruise. On Stardate 240001.24, he graduated and was immediately assigned to serve aboard the [[USS Arrow|U.S.S. ''Arrow'']] as its [[Engineering (Duty Post)|Engineering Officer]].{{Heading|Service History|Gold}} | ||
