Forty five years ago, archeologists working on the remote border world of Alveyon II uncovered ancient ruins of a long lost civilization buried deep within the planet’s surface. Accidentally discovered by a mining operation the find was astounding. Buried half a mile beneath the surface the hidden facility was composed of neutronium alloys which took researchers days to penetrate. Having breached the walls of the site, scientists discovered a vast complex built by an unknown species for unknown reasons. Inside was technology and equipment that was still operational despite being entombed for thousands of years. The researchers also discovered amid hundreds of stasis chambers a preserved alien body seemingly the only one that had survived the eons and the ravages of time. The find was heralded in the media for a time before slowly fading away to be recorded on the pages of history.

While the find faded from people’s minds the discoveries persisted on into the future. Researchers, having been able to extract viable samples of DNA from the alien corpse, worked diligently to understand the findings and map the alien genome which stunned and perplexed the galaxy’s most brilliant scientific minds. The DNA differed from any known lifeform as its proteins consisted of a triple helix structure which scientists theorized granted the alien race immense advantages.

One gifted and brilliant young scientist Dr. Artimis Ballentine was the first to crack the genetic code of the alien race however instead of sharing his research with his colleagues he hid his findings and conducted his own experiments leading him into unethical territory the closer each experiment led him to unlocking the true potential of the alien DNA.

During this time, Ballantine and an associate working with him, were approached by a Starfleet commander in Intelligence whose children were afflicted with an incurable birth defect which was terminal. With his children being told they had only months left to live the commander pleaded with the scientists for help having heard about the alien DNA’s miraculous properties through his vast network of intelligence contacts. Having exhausted all other forms of treatment for his two sons the commander made a deal with the two scientists. Lacking live human test subjects to further their unethical research, the commander would allow the men to experiment on his two sons in a desperate, last bid to save their lives. If the tests worked the scientists could use the data to further their agenda. If the tests failed, the commander agreed to allow the scientists to keep their test data and would never speak of the deal again.

A treatment utilizing the alien cellular material was developed for each of the twins and administered. Months after the initial treatments the boys recovered fully from their affliction as a result of the experiments. The procedure appeared to have miraculous implications, but before more research could be conducted Dr. Ballantine and his associate were exposed for hiding their research and performing unethical experiments. While the tests on the two boys remained a guarded secret, Dr. Ballentine was expelled from the scientific community in disgrace for his unethical behavior and experimentation. The doctor faded into obscurity and the public eye after the incident.

The two boys, suffering only minor side effects from the treatment, grew up with their parents who hid the truth from them. Their lives were peaceful and serene with the boys exhibiting unusual characteristics as they grew older. The twins appeared faster, stronger, and were more intelligent than their peers while also less prone to sickness or injury. While their parents suspected a link to their children’s miraculous recovery and treatment a decade earlier they failed to share the truth with their sons entrusting their dark secret only to one close and well trusted family friend, James Valtren.

The family lived a normal, peaceful life until their serene existence was shattered by the wily desires of a vast corporate giant who had learned of the family’s secret and wanted to possess it for their own sinister purposes.

Medical Information

Physical Condition

Taverain suffers from perpetual reoccurring nightmares due in part to the traumatic loss of his family as a small child. The nightmares are often vivid and intense and often cause Ramius a certain amount of stress when they occur. Starfleet Medical has often noted Ramius's mental condition as a concern due to his unwillingness and/or inability to express his painful past with counselors and other medical personnel. Evaluations suggest Ramius tends to bottle up his emotions which over time cause the captain undue anxiety and stress due to his lack of emotional expression.

Ramius also avoid routine checkups and has been cited on numerous occasions for failing to report for annual physical examinations. Exhibiting noticeable levels of discomfort around medical personnel has been noted, but cannot be contributed to any specific cause or reason. The captain is uncooperative when asked about the subject.

Doctors have also noted unusual readings from the captain especially when injury or sickness occurs. Ramius has been observed recovering from injury far faster that normal. No data exists that as to the nature of the observed medical anomalies, but many have been noted in his medical file over the years which tend to raise the eyebrows of some doctors who review the captain's files. The captain, when questioned on this subject, claims he has no knowledge of any abnormalities, actions, or other events which may explain the anomalous readings that are often detected by medical personnel.

Injuries

While having suffered several severe injuries due to combat operations as a fighter pilot, Ramius has had no lasting effects from these events. A small pink scar remains on Ramius's right cheek from an incident during his youth. Despite an easy medical procedure to remove the blemish, Ramius retains the mark for personal reasons known only to him.
