Personal History

Dravok saw this father and uncles do many dishonorable things as he grew in age. Murder, bribery and corruption, just to name a few things they did. He tried to get the besr education he could growing up but most of the lessons involved pain. The now preteen, Dravok, heard rumors about Starfleet ships. How someone could get all the way to ships Captain without having to murder anyone on your own crew. He just found his people not quite as honorable as they claimed to be. Dreaming about being part of a Starfleet crew well into his teens. One day after his 18th birthday, Dravok decided enough was enough. He had been assigned to his father’s ship as security. He also worked the tactical console a few times on the bridge. This day his father sat in the Captains chair, in the center of the warbirds bridge. They had raided a freighter but once it was empty the Captain ordered Dravok to lock weapons and fire disruptor a. He saw no reason to destroy the ship and kill the five Bajorans aboard. However he nervously locked the targeting sensors on the cargo ship and charged the disruptors. He could t fire on the innocent people. His father had him drug off the bridge and punished and the ship was destroyed. The very next stop for supplies he decided he would find a way to get to a Federation ship and ask for asylum. About eight days later they beamed down to the surface of a desert planet, it was hot, dry and sandy. But it was his father’s favorite place to drink and commit acts with females he was sure his mother would kill him for. Dravok overheard a shady character asking about weapons and he decided it may be his way out. He approached the man and negotiated passage to the first Federation ship or base they came to. Dravok only had to supply highly sought after Klingon disruptor. He did just that, making off the ship with out a hitch. Dravok carried to metal cases with him, the trade for his safe passage. He was also armed with a disruptor and a blade in his boot. The young Klingon had no trouble getting to the smugglers ship. He revealed what was in the cases, of course the case required a code to open. Each case contained four type two disruptor pistol and a small hand held blade. The case was shut but the agreement went on and the duo left on their journey. It took twelve days but they finally located a Federstion ship that was close enough to get to. Dravok spoke to the Captain and was granted asylum, he would be transferred to Earth for a council to decide his future, but for now he was safe from his father. It took several months but Dravok was granted permanent asylum. He ask for permission to enroll at Starfleet Academy after being debriefed and was granted permission and after barely scraping by on the admissions text Dravok was a Starfleet Cadet. He didn’t do great in his general studies and didn’t have many friends or people that would talk to him for that matter. The Klingon Cadet put all his focus on his studies and passed with a 79%. With his experience it was easy for him to decide on and exceed in the security and starship tactics courses. After graduating he was given his first assignment. He would be a dual role security and tactical officer. His assignment the USS North Star, a science vessel. The mission was to explore a rift in deep space that a transport vessel happened to pick up on sensors. The ship sat at a safe distance for three days, taking extensive sensor readings. There was no answer to hails and sensors were having a hard time identifying the type of rift. The Captain ordered the ship move closer and the shields be raised, they got to close to fast and the rift started pulling the ship in. With a lot of team work they were able to get free of the rifts effects and pull. Many of the crew had horrible nightmares while near the rift and the days following exposure. Later the North Star would have to be abandoned after a warp core malfunction. No one can explain what happened or say who was close to the core that might have sabotaged the warp core. Either way fifteen lives were lost and the ship was destroyed. Starfleet saw it fit that Ensign Dravok be reassigned and with his recent experience figured he could handle the assignments that would be given to the USS Balam.
