Early life before the Intrepid[]

Serek was born on August 13, 2235 human calendar time on the planet Vulcan in the capital city of ShiKahr. His father, Sponn, is director of the Vulcan Science Academy and his mother, T'Plel. a teacher of intergalactic history.

Serek was allowed to choose his own path with the full support of his parents. Serek applied for and was accepted in Starfleet Academy in 2252. Once at the Academy, he excelled in his studies and made close friends including Mercedes Underwood, who would later serve as his First officer on board the Intrepid.

On the original Intrepid[]

Serek served with his fellow Vulcans on board the Intrepid as Chief Science Officer. One of the missions was rescuing the USS Bismarck during an Orion attack. (Bismarck (Eagle comic))

Serek and Starfleet Command[]

Serek has extensive dealings with the Starfleet brass. The fact that he has survived several starships is key. His first experience was when after the cloud creature incident on the USS Farragut with then Ensign James T. Kirk. Subsequently, later in his career he had to talk to various Commodores and Admirals in respect to the USS Constellation, USS Intrepid, USS Excalibur, and the USS Defiant.

Serek's controversial multiple assignments[]

It is widely known in Starfleet that both he and Mercedes Underwood have served on multiple assignments in their respective Starfleet careers. The reason being Serek took so many assignments as he felt it would help him gain experience not only as an officer but to gain experience from the various styles of the Starfleet commanders he served under. This is why he did his action and shaped him to be the commander he is today.

The Captain's Table[]

On Stardate 7277.4, Captain Serek was en route to Rear admiral C'Tanar Lerl's office to discuss Commander Mercedes Underwood's death when he was transported to The Captain's Table, where he met several captains from various eras including a few former commanders. (Healing Wounds), (The Captain's Table Part 2)

Memorable quotes[]

Commander Aristotle Enfield being informed he was the new first officer of the Intrepid - Healing Wounds.
