Personal History
Before Starfleet
Bru'Kh enjoyed a typical Tellarite youth with childhood toys that included sets of tools and small electronic gadgets. In primary school he learned debate skills, and his Engineering aptitude started to emerge. Upon completion of primary school he was enrolled in Engineering School to enhance his skills, then the famed Engineering Upperschool.
Starfleet
Career Summary
Upon graduation he enlisted in Starfleet as a Non-Commissioned Officer and was assigned to the Clarke Class USS Faulkner as Engineering Technician, and would eventually gain a specialization in Transporters. During this time the Faulkner was operating as a Diplomatic Transport ship to Cardassia.
The Faulkner underwent upgrade to Sagan Class in 2350, and upon completion Bru'Kh was assigned as Transporter Chief. The Ship was assigned to exploration of the Cardassian border areas, and the same year discovered the area of space later termed the "Badlands", He rose to Engineer's Mate in 2354 just before the Faulkner makes first contact with a race known as the "Sheliak".
He left the Faulkner in 2360 to study Holographic Systems, and Structural Systems at Utopia Planetia, and received a specialization in both. He was then assigned to Starbase Tango during it's final construction and placement in the Eta Tauri system.
After ten years on Starbase Tango he accepted a position at the Academy as an Engineering Instructor where he would spend the next 9 years. Although work at the Academy was fulfilling, it lacked excitement. Bru'kh put in for a transfer to the Perseus Operation and was accepted as Asst. Chief Engineer on the USS Poseidon.
Mid 2386, Bru'kh was reassigned on request to the USS Avalon NCC 76262-A, the new Avalon class of starship equipped with Transwarp nacelles, under Cmdre Paula Chapman.
