Pre-Starfleet History

T'Vanek spent his entire childhood on Vulcan, only having left the planet once to take a trip with his father to the USS Knightsbridge during an Advisory mission. The mission became hostile after their arrival, and T'Vanek got his first look at both Starfleet Security and the Marines in operation.

He was never again allowed to accompany his father, lest another mission turn deadly and be his destruction. Both the Security/Tactical and the Marines fascinated him after that, however, and influenced him to join Starfleet Academy after a brief and average two years at the Vulcan Science Academy.

He originally intended to join Security, but after his four years at the Academy, decided that the extra training and requirements to become a Marine posed a more challenging path.

Starfleet History

T'Vanek has seen much in his fifty-six years in Starfleet. He graduated Starfleet Academy at age 30, and a month later joined the Marine program at Paris Island to become a Marine. Two years later, after a months leave to visit his home planet and parents, he joined the 2nd Montebello Company, on the USS Montebello, a Mobile Marine Command center.

Ten years later, after two promotions to 1st Lieutenant, he left the Montebello and joined Starbase 346, on the Frontline of the Romulan Neutral Zone. He spent most of his years in Starfleet there, only leaving for short breaks to his home planet (except for one six month layover during which he took a Vulcan wife.), and for temporary transfers to Earth to further his education. His longest Absence was 1.5 years, during his training at the Starfleet War College.

During those years on Starbase 346, he rose to the rank of Lt. Major and after a stint at the Starfleet Command School, also became the Marine Executive Officer of two station-grounded companies. He saw lots of combat during his time there, as well.

He was recently given a promotion to Lt Colonel and given command of the 1st Geneva Company on Starbase Geneva.
