Akoval th'Idrani lorTheel'zhiin

Background

Lieutenant Commander Akoval th'Idrani lorTheel'zhiin (or just Akoval for short) was born in 2313 on Andoria. Even in his youth he demonstrated great potential for martial skills and, after completing his University studies, joined the Andorian Home Guard as a member of the infantry. In 2342, after a series of joint training operations with Starfleet marines he applied for a transfer to Starfleet. He served strongly in the Starfleet Marines and was awarded several commendations for bravery under fire, including one incident, in 2355, in which he took control of his platoon in the field after their commanding officer was killed by enemy fire. He was then invited by Starfleet to apply to the MOC program to become a starship officer. He was accepted and graduated from the program in 2360, after which he worked his way up through the ranks, commanding security details and marines on several ships including the USS Princeton, the USS Saratoga. He received his first commission as security chief on the USS Berlin. He's spent time around the Triangle before and is glad to be back.
