Personal History		Tedrum Savat was born on El-Auria in 2223. He was a curious child always wanting to learn something new or explore things that had never been seen by another. He liked to take things apart and see how they worked. He also tried to see if it could do more than what it was intended for. Growing up he did well in school and showed a fascination for all things science and technology related. He went to college and graduated in the top five percent of his class in Unified Field Theory and Engineering. He became an engineer on a transport frigate. However, he could never stand to just fix something. He always had to tinker with it and try to make it better, more refined. He excelled in the sciences as well so he was always researching and tinkering. Much to the chagrin of his captain and fellow crew. He traveled the galaxy on the frigate and came upon the Federation. As a curious person he inserted himself into the Federation and joined starfleet. It was here that he found new ways of engineering and new knowledge of the sciences. It would seem that the shorter lived races made discoveries by leaps and bounds because they always pushed the limits in their research. El-Aurians by comparison made sure things were safe and looked at all angles before taking a step forward with research given their long lives. Granted this made for more in-depth study but meant that actual discoveries were sometimes centuries in coming by comparison. The year 2251, the place, Axanar. Tedrum was an engineering officer supporting the USS Constitution under the command of Captain Garth. The cold war with the Klingons had already been going for some time. This time however, a spark was lit. The Consitution came under fire from two D5 class and one D7 class Klingon warships. Through a bit of luck and a crazy maneuver that had only been proven in theory by the Consitution gave them the victory. Five short years later the Klingon empire would lauch a full offensive and start the war between the Federation and the Empire. During the war Tedrum was decorated and promoted for his outside of the box ideas and quick thinking during crisis situations. In 2265 he got word of the Borg having attacked El-Auria. He wanted to immediately ship off and protect them. Unfortunately, that word also came with photographic evidence of the destruction on the planet. His heart ached and he locked himself away for several days. Over the next several months information would slowly creep in. Millions dead and names of those that survived were not in ready supply. Finally he found out that his parents had been killed but his younger sister survived. He purchased a home on Earth for her to live in safety. In order to do so he had to bend a few rules putting her name in certain systems. Though with his long experience with the systems he knew how to do so unobtrusively. This gave him an idea. Currently humans had no idea about his race. It would seem very odd for someone that looked like them to seemingly live as long and longer than even a Vulcan who was the longest-lived race the humans had met to date. Considering he was already there to put in information for his sister he came up with an idea. He could masquerade as his own descendants. He just had to keep the access he was using for his sister in order to do so for him. He buried the backdoor access he had created and vowed only to use it for that one, singular purpose so that way it wasn’t stumbled upon or throw up any flags for system access. Once every fifty years or so would be fine in his mind. The people who would be working the systems would be long gone. Either way they would be retired or had moved up in rank and on to a different set of responsibilities. In 2298 Tedrum retired from Starfleet. He’d put in fifty years of service and retired at the rank of commander. He had used his backdoor access to create ghost files of a son of him and an unnamed woman. He had taken leave from his ship citing personal leave to spend with his sister. In reality he had used his new files to pass himself off as his son and take the academy entrance exam. He passed though he tried to keep his scores within reason. He didn’t want to give anyone any suspicions. With that in mind he bid the friends he had made farewell as he left the ship and headed back to earth. He got himself ready including different mannerisms and on entrance day made his way to the academy to start a new chapter in his life. (Tedrum Savat II)He kept this up for another 50 years and saw how well it went that he did it again without a second thought. Though this time he chose science as his specialization. It would look odd for all of his “descendants” to choose the same specialization again and again. (Tedrum III) In 2350 after graduating with a rapid pace, he was assigned to Starbase 211 near the Federation border with the Cardassian Union. From 2350 to 2360 he helped with the science to develop deep range scanning and other advancements to help ships and the starbase keep an eye on the border with the Cardassian Union. In 2360 he was recalled from the border. He was placed as an instructor at the academy in the science division. He taught the fresh minds coming into the academy and observed the changes that were taking place so he could incorporate them into the next iteration of himself. He was starting a tradition of sorts that the “first born” of his line would enroll in Starfleet for each generation. 2366-2367 came the Borg Incursion which culminated in the battle of Wolf 359. When the fleet was called to protect earth Tedrun left the academy and transferred to the USS Endeavour. It was here he got his first taste of the possibility of being an operations officer as he used his knowledge of both science and engineering to help with rotating shield frequencies and harmonics as well as keeping a tight control over the structural integrity field with assisted with the Endeavour being the only ship other than the Enterprise to survive that battle. After the battle he returned to the Academy. He heard first rumors about conflicts around Deep Space Nine with something called the Dominion. Then the rumors became fact. In 2373 he requested transfer back to active duty on a ship where his skills would be of most use. The war broke out in earnest and Tedrum was there on the USS Venture, taking Dominion forces head on where they were able to. For the next two years he would see near constant combat action. He would take over as the acting assistant chief operations officer when they were killed in an engagement as there were no other qualified officers to do so. He was decorated twice more during the war for his leadership and effectiveness in combat operations as he strove in his position to keep the ship running efficiently as well as developing tech that could be implemented quickly to heighten the survivability of the ship and its crew. After the war ended in 2375 he was returned to the academy as an instructor. He did his best to teach as he had. Yet he had gotten a full taste for operations and thought it would be good as the next career for his “son”. He retired in 2381 and as had become the tradition he came full circle back to the academy as a cadet. (Tedrum Savat IV) However, he felt unseen eyes or at least a premonition of something that he couldn’t quite place. Perhaps this might be the last time he did this. The federation now knew of El-Aurians of course, but explaining that he had been among them since their early days might raise more questions and possible hostilities. He would have to think about it and see. After the academy he did rounds on several starships as an operations officer before getting his latest transfer orders to head to the USS Endurance.
