Tuvok



Tuvok was a male Vulcan serving in Starfleet in the 23rd and 24th century. He was most known for his position of Chief of Security and Second Officer aboard the USS Voyager during its seven years stranded in the Delta Quadrant.

Tuvok was born on the Vulcanis Lunar Colony of T'Rukhemia to Sunak and T'Meni. Tuvok was betrothed at a very young age to T'Pel in an arrangement made by his parents and had four children with her, Sons Sek, Varith and Elieth and Daughter Asil.

Early Years
As a youth, shortly after the death of his pet sehlat Wari, the grief-stricken Tuvok fled into the desert of the Plains of Gol for four months, embarking on the ritual of tal'oth, in which he purged the emotions that came with attachment and pride.

In 2280, he became infatuated with a visiting Terellian girl named Jara. Tuvok again journeyed across the desert and studied for several months under the tutelage of a Vulcan master in another attempt to purge his emotions.

In 2289, Tuvok was preparing for a life of study, logic, and the Kolinahr discipline, when his parents, believing that his galaxy-view was too narrow, enrolled him in Starfleet Academy. Reluctant to disobey his parents' wishes, Tuvok pursued a Starfleet career.

Starfleet Academy
During his time at the Academy, Tuvok befriended Cadets Scott Hutchinson and Sophie Timmons, the latter of which developed romantic feelings toward Tuvok, but of course, Tuvok did not reciprocate.

As a freshman at the Academy, Tuvok beat an athlete from UCLA in the four hundred meter hurdles competition.

First Starfleet Career
Upon graduating from the Academy, Tuvok was assigned to the science division of the USS Excelsior under Captain Hikaru Sulu. While serving on the Excelsior, Tuvok befriended Lieutenant Leonard James Akaar and Lieutenant Lojur.

In 2293, Tuvok helped conduct a global medical survey of the planet Mestiko, filling in for Doctor Leonard McCoy while the doctor investigated a medical mystery elsewhere on the planet.

In 2298, after six years aboard the Excelsior, Tuvok resigned from Starfleet and returned home to continue his study of the kolinahr discipline.
