Salak: Difference between revisions

Salak graduated the Academy in October 2381 and was quickly assigned as an Engineer onboard the [[Steamrunner-Wolverine class]] [[USS Wallace]], posted to the station [[Deep Space 17]]. He became the acting Chief Engineer in February 2382, a position which became official in August of that year.

Salak remained Chief Engineer of the USS Wallace until it was decommissioned in April 2383. His next posting was as Chief Engineer on the [[USS Independence]]. After the destruction of that vessel later that year, he was reassigned to the [[USS Ronin]] as a Mission Specialist. The Vulcan didn't spend long on Ronin, moving to a classified assignment before joining the [[USS Independence-A]] less than a year after he'd joined Ronin.

He spent eight months with the new Independence, leaving with half of the senior staff for the USS Tiger, commanded by the Independences' former First Officer, Sidney Riley.

As Chief Engineer of the USS Wallace, Salak was the Senior Officer for the Engineering department of the vessel and thus members of the department were his sub-ordinates. Due to the nature of the vessel, the Engineering department was usually divided into Teams, a system Salak would later use on other vessels.

Salak's Assistant Chief on Wallace was [[McLoughlin, Pádraig|Ensign McLoughlin]]. Upon the Independence, his new assistant was Ensign James Culan and he also worked alongside Indy veteran [[King, Joshua|Chief King]] until the vessels destruction.

As a Mission Specialist on Ronin, Independence-A and Tiger, Salak had no true subordinates. His role meant he operated between departments, rather than within one. In addition to his Mission Specialist position, he then also became the Second Officer aboard the USS Tiger. As such, is a member of the vessel command staff. In such a capacity, he has some degree of superiority over most of the crew.
