“Nothing unreal exists.”

Kiri-kin-tha's First Law of Metaphysics

Lieutenant Varaan, a Vulcan, is an Engineering Officer on the USS Darwin-A, as of stardate 239211.23. He had returned to the USS Atlantis after a long period as a Deep Cover Operative for Starfleet Intelligence. He was assigned as Officer of the Deck and Intelligence Liaison, and as of 239205.25 he was also the Chief Engineering Officer. He was then reassigned as the Chief Intelligence Officer on the relaunched USS Apollo-A, as of stardate 239207.13. He was the Chief Engineering Officer on the USS Triumphant, as of stardate 239209.22. He is also the former CEO and First Officer of the USS Paladin, former First officer of the USS Steadfast-A, and former commanding officer of the USS Atlantis.

Varaan's primary drive in life is engineering, and has been for over half a century. The interest started in his youth, and has guided his career choices. He has deviated into the Intelligence field several times, both in and out of Starfleet, but somehow has always returned to Engineering. The Advanced Starship Design Bureau (ASDB) recognizes Varaan as one of the top minds in Starship Architecture and Systems Integration. Varaan has either been involved in or lead teams that designed such starship classes as the Cutlass class Carrier for Starfleet, the Crossbow Starfighters, both the Brendan class Escort and the Cobra class starfighter jointly designed with Admiral Krieger, and the Shendarin class Science vessel contracted by the Vulcan government. He is routinely consulted by the ASDB on various projects, and offered a permanent position there, but for some reason that he is unwilling to share, he would much rather continue his life journey on randomly assigned Starfleet vessels.

Ambitions and Goals

Being a Vulcan, Varaan has no "ambitions" or goals beyond successfully completing his Starfleet career. He has no ego, so "ambitions" are beyond him.

Personal Achievements and Disappointments

Varaan's greatest personal achievement, he would tell you, would be the conception and successful birth of his daughter, T'iana. Being Vulcan, he has no disappointments.

Relationships


Personal History

Full Article: Varaan Personal History

Family

Spouse

T'lani is a graduate of the Vulcan Science Academy, and a scientist currently involved in the space sciences (astrophysics, cosmology, astronomy, etc). She works with Varaan's father on the Vulcan Science Council. She is a beautiful woman (even Vulcans can appreciate asthetics), and very intelligent. Their union had been arranged when they were children, but they truly love each other (as close to love as Vulcans get).

Siblings

none

 

Children

T'iana (dob: 238107.09) - currently the only child of Varaan and T'lani, T'iana was conceived when T'lani came to visit Varaan during a period of shore-leave for the USS Paladin. Their daughter was born while Varaan was on mission, and so he missed being there. He had never met his daughter until he returned to Vulcan before taking command of the USS Atlantis.

Parents

Mother: T'mol - liaison between the alien ambassadors from sectors 001 through 100 to the Vulcan government.
Father: Solath, son of Myrek - revered Astrophysicist on Vulcan, and a board member of the Vulcan Science Academy.

"Friendships"

While a member of the USS Paladin and USS Atlantis (2379-2382), he got very close to Dr. Jennifer Catherine Greene, Jefferson Nariah, and (his "best friend" on board) Torin Jamar.

Marquette.jpg

Since the first day that Varaan had stepped on board the Paladin, Chief Warrant Officer 3rd Grade Phillipe Marquette has been the rock that Varaan has leaned on in Engineering. Seen as something between a father-figure and a brother, the Chief has been a solid supporter of Varaan's. The two men share a very friendly and unique relationship, something Varaan has found hard to do with all except a few. The Chief has the utmost respect for Varaan, even though his running commentaries would often be seen by outsiders as inappropriate between an enlisted man and an officer. But Varaan doesn't mind. In fact, Varaan sees the familiarity in the banter as an elevated communication style - two people in sync enough that simple words and phrases can carry complex meanings. There is no other being in the galaxy that either man would trust more. the Chief has followed Varaan through transfers on more than one occasion.

Marcus Dickens.jpg

After being alone for so long as a deep cover operative within the Par'tha Expanse, Varaan's return to "normal society" and the Starfleet "mainstream" has revealed that all of his old acquaintances and shipmates from the past have moved on in one way or another...except one. Commander Marcus Dickens, who was a fresh faced Ensign when Atlantis originally launched in 2382, had returned to Atlantis upon the relaunch in 2391. While calling their relationship a "friendship" might have been pushing it, Dickens was the closest thing to a friend that Varaan had. Unfortunately, Marcus went MIA during a mission when they were both assigned to the USS Apollo-A.

Shayne, Randal.png

Varaan met Randal Shayne when they were both assigned to the USS Apollo-A, though they were hardly more than acquaintances and shipmates. It was only once they had both been reassigned to the USS Triumphant, and had to endure a shuttlecraft journey of weeks to get from the first vessel to the second, that they both began opening up and a friendship started. It is still in the infancy stages, but both men seem to be benefiting from it.
