| Personal History | Decan was born on Vulcan, in the city of ShiKahr. As a child, he grew up exploring the wildlife preserve that was a short walk from his family’s dwelling. Both of his parents were biologists, and he spent a large amount of his time with them in differing biospheres studying everything involving animal life, and other things he was able to wrap his young mind around. His parents elected not to enrol him in nursery school, believing the real life experience he received in observing their work was better for broadening his mind. Before too long, Decan was enrolled at ShiKahr’s Learning Center. There he spent his days being tested in the skill domes and lectured by the city’s top scholars. When he reached his teens Decan was moved to a higher learning facility where he would decide his career path and plan his educational steps to reach that goal. He weighed several options and eventually decided on a career in Starfleet, specifically in the Medical field. Decan wanted a well rounded education before Starfleet so he first finished a degree in psychology at the Vulcan Science Academy and then applied to the Denobulan Institute of Medical Studies where he was accepted. Moving to Denobula was a true change of pace for Decan. The entire Denobulan population is condensed to one single continent. Despite being crowded compared to what he was used to, Decan was pleased with his studies. He completed his medical degree with an exceptional grade. He was by no means at the top of his class, but he was well above a grade he would find acceptable. With his formal schooling finished, Decan applied for internships while also applying to Starfleet. He began an internship at the Kaybin Public Health Center on Denobula while he awaited an interview date for Starfleet. While at the center, Decan met a Betazoid Starfleet counselor named Kestro Ral. The two shared an intimately close relationship for nearly a year before decan was called for an interview with Starfleet and they parted ways. Following his interview, Decan was put through the Direct Entry Officer program given his degree. He spent a year completing a Starfleet familiarization program before he was commissioned and assigned to the USS Halifax. The Halifax was a wonderful entry to Starfleet for Decan as she was a small ship with a small crew. He served as a Medical Officer. As a junior officer in the Department, he found his superiors mentorship useful and informative. Helping him to navigate his career path further. After three years Decan was reassigned to a much larger ship, USS Toronto. There he served a Medical officer as well, but was keen to take on as much extra as he could. He eventually became Assistant Department Chief and took on the additional administrative duties with grace. He continued on the Toronto for five years as she set out on a mission that took them to the other side of Klingon controlled space. The ship took on many anthropological and scientific missions,which made the half a decade pass by with ease. When Toronto returned to Spacedock, Decan found himself reassigned once more, to Starbase 332. |
