Biography
Oberic was born in 2056, to a pair of El-Aurian Scientists on Vulcan. His parents were attending the Vulcan Science Academy, and doing personal research into Vulcan culture and religion. Beginning in 2075, Oberic attended the Vulcan Science Academy. There he studied Propulsion Engineering - eventually earning several degrees, and certifications before his departure in 2150.
In 2151, Oberic went to earth and joined the United Earth Government under the guise of being human. He served as an Engineering Developer on the Daedalus Class starship, and would accompany one of the first Daedalus ships, the USS Antioch, as it steamed headfirst into the Romulan War; in 2158. The War ended a couple of years later, and after the retun to earth, and somewhat light duty, Earth joined the UFP, and Starfleet. Along with joining, Earth donated more than fifty Daedalus Class Starships. Oberic signed on with a crew as an Engineering Officer abord the USS Carolina, and would serve as his ship made First Contact with more than twenty new life-forms, and the successful planting of several colonies on outlying worlds.
By 2170, Oberic had reached the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and was the Chief Engineer on the Carolina. Having completed two tours, as well as service in the Romulan War, Oberic had plenty to write about. He left Starfleet, and returned to Vulcan where he met back up with his parents. He would attend the Vulcan Science Academy for the next twenty years, all the while writing a record of his participation in Starfleet's birth and beginning infancy.
At the Academy, Oberic studied Astrophysics, and Stellar Cartography, having completed doctorate degrees in both by the time he left, in 2191. He then made the decision to rejoin Starfleet, and in 2193 found himself going through the Academy as a "fresh-faced" lad of nineteen. At the time, it was still not common knowledge that the El-Aurians existed, much less that they were very long-lived. This time around, he would choose a command path, majoring in Starship Operations. He graduated in 2197, and was assigned to the USS Brisbane. The term of service was rather boring by comparison to the first several tours he'd served; mostly patrol duty along the ill-defined UFP/Romulan Border. Oberic would finally get too bored with sitting in one place, and left Starfleet again in 2204.
Oberic would remain on Earth, where he found work as a Professor of Astrophysics at the Academy. Doing his best to make himself look slightly older as the years past, he reached a point where he could no longer do so effectively. Oberic left Earth in 2218, and made his way to the Artemis Sector, where he would join a small colony of El-Aurians near Cardassian Space. He would stay with his people, studying and sharing experiences. Word reached the small colony in 2266 that their homeworld had been attacked, desroyed, and all but a few assimilated by the Borg. The colonists found in themsleves a renewed sense of purpose. They were part of but a very few who remained from their species. In 2296, Oberic was joined with Melea. The two had a daughter, Shloet, in 2300. The family would remain together, living a very normal life, until 2344. It was then that Melea and Shloet both fell ill, as did many other women in the colony. The illness was never identified, and eventually, more than eighty percent of the female colonsits would perish, including Oberic's wife and daughter.
Not wishing to remain with the colony; which served only as a reminder of what he'd lost, Oberic returned to Vulcan, where he would stay with his parents for the next several years. In 2349, Oberic rejoined Starfleet. This time, he informed Starfleet Command of his identity, telling them of the exploits of a younger El-Aurian who was a memebr of Starfleet from the time it was founded. He was welcomed back with open arms, and opted not to attend the Academy again. He would decide upon a change of pace, and go into the Intelligence Field. In light of his vast experience and knowledge, he was given a Warrant Commission, and sent to serve as an Intel Officer aboard the Excelsior-Class Starship, USS Stockholm. He would stay with the crew of the Stockholm for the next fifteen years. In 2367, the Stockholm would participate in the Battle of Wolf 359, against the Borg. Oberic had a personal hatred for the Borg that showed in his tireless attempt to destroy the Cube. Although nearly crippled, and with his Captain and Executive Officer dead, Oberic made the bold command for the Stockholm to ram into the cube. Just as his order was about to be executed, the battle had come to an end, thanks to the efforts of Captain Picard and his crew. Oberic returned to Earth, where he took a six week leave before reporting for his next duty.
In 2368, Oberic joined the crew of the USS Missouri, a Steamrunner-Class vessel, serving along the UFP/Klingon Border. Even though it was border duty, Oberic found himself very busy, the ship would be involved in many little skirmishes, and colony disputes during the following seven years. Even though the Dominion war raged on, the Missouri found herself relegated to the border duty - a neccesity even during wartime on another front. Oberic would have to sit on the sidelines and watch as the battles were fought, won, and lost.
While refusing promotions and relegating himself to the role of an Intelligence Officer instead of an operative or command-line officer, Oberic would be transferred to Starbase-99 where he would serve in relative obscurity for the following ten years.
From 2380 until 2400, Oberic served as a special envoy to the planet Vulcan, where he was able to spend more time with his parents. While his job was more of a diplomatic assignment, he retained his role in intelligence by leaving Vulcan several times a year for various operations.
From 2400 through 2409, Oberic would be aboard the USS Andropov, an intel-tasked vessel. All actions of this vessel, and therefore Oberic, are classified under order of the Deputy Chief of Starfleet Intelligence.
In 2409, Oberic was informed that his father had passed away. He returned to Vulcan where he would remain with his mother for almost a year; being allowed an extended leave of absence. He returned to Starfleet, and was assigned to the USS Charon.
