[edit] Overview
[edit] Starfleet
During his nearly century-long career in Starfleet, Tuvok held numerous assignments. His first was was as a junior science officer aboard the USS Excelsior in 2293, under Captain Hikaru Sulu.
Sometime thereafter, he left Starfleet to pursue Kolinahr. His studies were interrupted by pon farr, and he married, and fathered several children. He eventually returned to active duty in 2343. (VOY: "Flashback")
Among his assignments during his second Starfleet career was the USS Wyoming, where he served under Captain Leonard James Akaar, an old shipmate and friend from the Excelsior. An incident during that assignment led to a falling out between the two men; their friendship would not be repaired until 2380. ((VOY: "Flashback"); Star Trek: Titan novel: The Red King)
In 2360, Tuvok was part of a covert team sent behind the borders of the Romulan Star Empire by Admiral Nyota Uhura to gain intelligence on the Romulan plague known as the Gnawing. (Star Trek: The Lost Era novel: Catalyst of Sorrows)
Also from 2360 to 2362, Tuvok served as an instructor at Starfleet Academy in San Francisco and the Advanced Tactical Training program on Mars. One of his students there was Timothy Sinclair. (VOY: "Learning Curve"; Star Trek: Pendragon: "Wanderers, Seekers, Warriors, Thinkers")
He also served on Jupiter Station in the mid-2360s, and aboard the USS Billings, under Captain Janeway. (VOY: "Tuvix", "Revulsion")
After his assignment to Voyager, Lieutenant Tuvok went undercover inside a Maquis cell led by Chakotay; his involvement ultimately led to Voyager's disappearance in the Badlands. (VOY: "Caretaker")
For seven years, Tuvok served as tactical and second officer aboard Voyager, during which time he earned a promotion to Lieutenant Commander.
[edit] Post-Voyager
After Voyager's return to the Alpha Quadrant in 2378, Tuvok was again promoted, this time to Commander, and began teaching at Starfleet Academy. (Star Trek: Pendragon; VOY novel: Homecoming)
In late 2379, Commander Tuvok once more went undercover, this time to Romulus, to call Ambassador Spock to a conference with the new Federation President. Tuvok was on Romulus at the time of Shinzon's coup and ascension to power. In the chaos that followed, he was captured and imprisoned with Reman dissidents. He was later rescued by Spock, and both Vulcans escaped to the USS Titan, under the command of Captain William Riker. Following a trip through interspace to the Small Magellanic Cloud, Tuvok accepted a the post of tactical officer aboard the Titan. (Star Trek: Titan novels: Taking Wing, The Red King, Orion's Hounds)

[edit] Star Trek: Pendragon
Upon Voyager's return in 2378, Tuvok was promoted to Commander. He did some work for Starfleet Intelligence, but primarily, he taught at Starfleet Academy. In 2380, he became field instructor for Nebula Squadron. (PDN: "Wanderers, Seekers, Warriors, Thinkers")
In 2383, Tuvok led Nebula Squadron on a field mission where they encountered an Iconian gateway and the rogue archaeologist Vash. (PDN: "Air and Darkness")
Just before Academy graduation in 2384, Tuvok advised Cadet Jeffrey Sinclair to accept responsibility for his actions on Rigel two years prior. Because of Tuvok's counsel, Sinclair resigned from the Academy and took custody of his son, Varen. (PDN: "Sometimes It Comes In the Clouds")
