History
Early Life (2359-2378)
Orex grew up on Edos in a medium sized settlement called Borvel. As is not uncommon in Edosian society, Orex grew up very closely with his extended family. This instilled in Orex a sense of family and serving the greater good that has stayed with him throughout his life. A bit of a tinkerer by nature, Orex was always seeing how things worked. It didn’t matter if it was a PADD or a piece of farming equipment, Orex was always trying to find out how it worked.
He became an excellent student in his settlements educational academy, especially in the fields of engineering, math and basic warp theory. An affable man and well liked amongst his peers, Orex seemed destined to be an engineer. This was further reinforced when Orex made the decision to join Starfleet as an engineer, hoping to work on starships. As the Dominion War was fresh in his family’s minds, this caused no small amount of worry but Orex stood firm and passed the entrance exam, leading to his departure to Earth in 2378.
Starfleet Academy (2378-2382)
Orex’s time at Starfleet Academy was rather normal. He did well with his studies, helped his fellow cadets when he could and stayed out of trouble. He was noted for his curiosity, work ethic and leadership potential. His instructors often put Orex in charge of group projects and assignments and Orex always rose to the occasion. He graduated in the upper quarter in his class.
USS Zhukov (NCC 62136) (2382-2387)
Orex’s tour of duty on the Zhukov was generally a calm one as the Zhukov spent much of it’s time on diplomatic and humanitarian missions. He proved himself an able and hard working engineer. Marked for his competence and reliability, Orex achieved the rank of Lt (j.g.) rather quickly. His leadership ability once more began to show and he was well liked and respected by both his peers and superiors. After achieving the rank of Lieutenant, Orex was transferred to the USS Dorvall.
