History
Merak was born on Earth to a single mother. He never knew his father. All Merak knows of his father is that he was a high ranking official with the Federation Council. Still to this day Merak has no clue that the man is, or even cares for that matter.

At the age of 10 Merak lost his mother when the Borg attacked Wolf 359. His mother being a Starfleet officer, she was stationed on one of the ships that were destroyed by the Borg. In her last act as Merak mother. She put him in an escape pod and jettisons it minutes before their ship exploded.

72 hours after the battle Merak’s escape pod was picked up by a Starfleet vessel sent to investigate the area. All Merak knows of this time was that the next thing he knew he was back on Mars in the house of his Grandfather. More like his adopted Grandfather, being that his mother was adopted by this man. A Trill by the name of Hulas. Merak was weary of the man at first never meeting him before but soon grew to love the Trill.

It was a year after living with his Grandfather and the most important person or person’s I should say come into Merak life. Jonar, Nona and their daughter Maya. Merak hit it off with the family right away and his Grandfather was happy to see Merak with someone his own age. With his Grandfather job what it was, (Part of the group assigned by the Federation to work with the Terra formers.)

Merak’s Grandfather spent five years with that assignment. In that time Merak and Maya bond had grown very strong. So much so that Merak grown to love Maya. Except it was more of a brotherly love. There departure from each other was hard. Merak had a feeling it was harder for Maya then it was for him. This was do to the fact that while he had grown attached to people and cared for them. He learned early on that nothing last forever.

During this time Merak had also learned to be a pilot. Flying all sorts of shuttle craft as well as other smaller vehicles. It was also during this time that Merak had grown into his fondness for the late 20th early 21st centuries. Especially the aircraft from those times. He passion for these type of aircraft centred on the fighters of a war known to human history as World War II.

His love of flying was so much that when he turned of age he joined the Starfleet academy to learn how to fly the great big star ship. During his time in the Academy Merak study Japanese Martial art for of Kendo and Aikido. (Kendo: The way of the Sword. Aikido: "the Way of harmonious spirit.") However as much as the meaning of these two types of martial art are Merak does not follow the teaching exactly. Much to the annoyance of his Sensei.

However his first permeate assignment was to Deep Space 14 as a Runabout pilot. Merak enjoyed this assignment and soon became well know in the sector as the pilot you wanted when it was hitting the fan. After a few years honing is skills as one of the best pilots in Starfleet. Merak got his orders to the USS Authority. A Nova class ship, which Merak thought was great. He liked the idea of piloting a small ship then the bigger ships in the fleet.

It was there that he ran into his childhood friend Maya. Who happened to be stationed on the Authority as well.

While aboard USS Authority Merak went on several mission and perfomed very well in every task. Hoever on his first mission assigned to USS Authority, he lost his artifial arm, and had to have it replaced with the help of Maya and Petty Officer 3rd Class Kentaro Bowman. During his recovery time in sickbay Merak learned of the full hearty mission that Lt Commander Siobhan MacCristen was injured during this mission. It was at this time that new feeling started to arise in him toward his then seinor officer. These feeling only incressed with time and soon a relationship was started between them, while on shore leave.

Durnig his time on shore leave Merak entered and won the anueal airrace on Kuraka. IT was also while on shore leave and after the race that Merak found out that he had a daughter he never knew about. Emma (Milner) Carson, was the daughter of him and an long time old love by the name of Angela Milner. However, shortly after finding out this information and and growing closer with Siobhan. Merak recived orders from the Federation Couicel for a very delicate mission.
