Personal History		Sporek is the product of a brief courtship between Ambassador T’Sai of Vulcan and El-Aurian immigrant Erin Sharek Vorten, a cargo ship Captain. Sporek was born on September 12th, 2282 on Vulcan just outside the city of ShiKahr, where his ancestral lands were located. At the time of his birth Sporek's biological father was not present, at the request of T’Sai; however, her new husband, Sporek's stepfather, was present at both Sporek’s birth and naming ceremonies. Sporek inherited his name from his forefather, Minister Sporek, a prominent member of the Vulcan Council. Despite not being fully Vulcan his family accepted Sporek as openly as Vulcans can. Sporek was an intelligent boy and initially showed no sign of emotional struggle. In addition to his dedication to his schoolwork Sporek also gained a liking to the arts, he enjoyed to paint and at the age of ten he was accepted to the Vulcan Academy of the Arts in ShiKahr. Sporek spent much of his time between his schooling in ShiKahr and living with his family in their home in the province of Raal. In 2295 at the age of thirteen Sporek underwent the Kahs-wan ritual, upon his return to society he was considered a full member of Vulcan society. After the completion of the rite of passage he was permitted to apply to the prestigious Vulcan Preparatory Academy, entry into this school for young Vulcans almost all but guaranteed entry into the even more prestigious Vulcan Science Academy. At the Preparatory Academy Sporek took a keen interest in astrophysics, astronomy, and particle physics. Sporek was always an intellectually curious individual, it seemed that the more he understood things the more questions he would have, he seemed to be always be in search of a mystery to unravel. He had a clear attraction to the sciences and as he grew older he would take an interest in the social sciences as well, when he was sixteen he took part in an archaeological dig in the city of Gol, wanting to learn more about Vulcan History. His stepfather Vortek, a ranking member of the Vulcan Defense Force, often encouraged Sporek to consider joining the Defense Force once he graduated from the Science Academy; Sporek gave it much thought as his time in the Academy had begun to come to a close. In 2299 Sporek wrote a paper on the probabilities of creating artificial wormholes, shortly after his paper was published Sporek was invited to speak at a conference on subspace anomalies at Starfleet Command and several other institutions. From then on Sporek had been permitted to take part in countless experiments relating to his research paper. After Sporek’s graduation from the Vulcan Preparatory Academy in 2303 he applied to both the Vulcan Science Academy and the Vulcan Defense Institute, he was accepted into both but he chose to attend the Defense Institute. When asked why, he cited his step-father as his motivation for entering the Defense Institute. Shortly before beginning his schooling at the Defense Institute Sporek chose to pursue the Rite of Tal’oth, a much more demanding and rigorous rite of passage on Vulcan, armed with only a ritual blade Sporek set off into the deserts of Vulcan for four months. On the first night out in the desert Sporek was attacked by a wild Sehlat, initially Sporek foolishly believed that he could fend off the beast, after a ten minute tussle with the Sehlat Sporek sought out protection in a nearby cave. It took two days for the beast to lose interest in Sporek. While in the desert Sporek mediated often, few people sought to complete the Rite of Tal'oth, Sporek's choice to do so brought him some esteem amongst his peers at the Defense Institute. After four months exactly Sporek emerged from the desert, ready to begin his education at the Vulcan Defense Institute. While at the Institute Sporek developed himself into a skilled strategist and tactician, he led his class in tactical strategy, hand-to hand combat, and comparative psychology. In 2305, at the age of twenty-three while still studying at the Institute he began the Pon-Farr prematurely, requiring him to put aside his studies and take a mate. Five days after beginning the Pon-Farr he was married to his destined mate T'Rin. After their wedding ceremony Sporek left the Defense Institute to serve aboard the VSS Shavokh as a junior tactical officer. Soon after he received his posting aboard the Shavokh he welcomed the birth of his first child, a boy whom he named Vortek, after his stepfather. Still very young Sporek did much of his maturing aboard the Shavokh, his skills as an officer grew exponentially and his ability to improve himself caught the attention of his commanding officer. While on the Shavokh Sporek gained a great deal of experience, the ship's main mission was the protection of the Vulcan colonies, he learned a lot from his encounters with Orion pirates and other interstellar crime organizations. In 2311, while on a mission of exploration near the Romulan boarder the Shavokh received a distress call from a Federation Outpost in the Foxtrot Sector. The crew initially objected to answering the hail however, Commander Savek ordered the ship to set a course for the Foxtrot sector. Before they could reach the Foxtrot Sector the ship was knocked out of warp by an intense shock wave. Several of the Shavokh's systems were heavily damaged and the crew visibly disturbed by the sight before them. After repairing key systems the crew worked quickly to rescue any survivors of the catastrophe that would come to be known as the Tomed Incident. While Sporek wished to investigate the incident further an outside force compelled him not to. For the crew’s efforts each member of the crew was awarded a distinction by Starfleet and the Federation. As time progressed Sporek became disillusioned with his career in the Vulcan Defense Force and Sporek resigned from the VDF in order to attend Starfleet Academy. His wife, T’Rin chose to join him at the Academy, they relocated to San Francisco after they each completed and passed the entrance exam. In his first semester at the Academy Sporek was met with complete culture shock, he had never spent much time away from his fellow Vulcans. Before his first semester was complete he considered leaving the Academy due to his inability to understand humanity. However, with time he came to terms with the diversity and overcame his prejudices against his emotional peers. Due in part to his upbringing on Vulcan Sporek found the Academy’s training far tamer and by his second year he became a teaching assistant in the academy’s survival strategies program. As a cadet Sporek excelled in physics and initially he planned on becoming a science officer but as his education at the academy progressed his passion for the tactical field was rekindled. During his academy years Sporek befriended many people through the game of billiards; he was exceptionally talented at the game, when not with his wife and child he was found in Max’s Lounge with his colleagues. In addition to majoring in tactical operations Sporek minored in intelligence, he became proficient in interrogation and intelligence analysis. By his junior year at the Academy Sporek had gathered over a hundred hours in various training simulations so his instructors suggested that Sporek take the Kobayashi Maru. Sporek recorded a time of 10 minutes 37 seconds. His scenario consisted of taking on three Romulan vessels and his solution to the scenario was to create a massive antimatter explosion by firing three photon torpedoes and firing the phasers on them in order to create the explosion that would weaken the pursuing ships, giving the crew more time to escape before Sporek ultimately went down with the ship. Despite his inability, in his opinion, to excel in the Kobayashi Maru scenario his observing officer, Commander Douglas, suggested that Sporek enroll in Starfleet Academy’s Advanced Tactical Training program. While at the Academy Sporek held many titles, he was an assistant instructor in advanced survival strategies and interspecies ethics, and was captain of the Academy's martial arts team, leading them to victory three years in a row, he also taught Vulcan History to first year cadets, as part of their first year seminars. He and his wife maintained a close relationship throughout their time at the academy, while she maintained a science track, the two eventually came to terms that they would not serve with one another and had to make arrangements for their young family. Sporek graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2315 finishing third in class. Following his graduation Sporek began studying with Starfleet’s Advanced Tactical Training program. While enrolled in the program Sporek was shown new experiences at the facilities. His training there prepared him for almost every scenario and while enrolled in the program Sporek received the opportunity to train with Marines and Starfleet’s fighter squadrons. Commander Shran, Sporek’s advisor, noted that Sporek would make a find commanding officer one day. Sporek benefited greatly from his training in the Advanced Tactical program. His favorite activity was performing orbital jumps, Sporek set at record at the time for highest jump ever performed; his record was broken several years later however. In 2317 he completed his training in the advanced tactical training program, allowing him to begin his career as a Starfleet officer. His first assignment was on Outpost Gamma Proxy II, an outpost in very close proximity to areas of space controlled by the Orion syndicate, Sporek was assigned as the outpost’s security investigations officer. On his first day on the outpost Sporek encountered a group of thieves who were trying to break into a closed shop. Sporek frequently met with the Chief of Security, Lieutenant Malcolm Fisher and together the two began a campaign of zero tolerance against crime on Gamma Proxy. As the security investigations officer Sporek was able to establish a link of trusted informants in order to stay ahead of the various crime rings, his methods of interrogation, though unorthodox, were efficient. By the year 2319, the crime rate showed a steady decline, his work on Gamma Proxy did not go unnoticed and shortly after joining the staff Starfleet requested his assistance on Delta Vega. Starfleet was struggling to establish a penal colony on the planet. Sporek assisted in designing the security protocols and systems for the penal colony, however, in the midst of his work Sporek was called away because of the pon'farr. It would be several months before he would return to finish his work. Shortly after completing the pon’farr Sporek joined T’Rin aboard the USS Julius Caesar, a Constellation class ship. While aboard the Julius Caesar Sporek took on various roles aboard, he acted as the asst. science officer and relief tactical and navigational officer. In mid 2320 T'Rin gave birth to their second child, a girl, whom they named Asil. After the birth of his second child Sporek asked to return Delta Vega so the he could complete his work, after six months on the planet Starfleet opened a new penal colony, following the completion of his work Sporek returned to the Julius Caesar. In 2321 while on border patrol near the Romulan Neutral Zone the USS Julius Caesar was attacked by a Romulan vessel. Sporek was the tactical officer on duty when the Romulans attacked. When the Chief Tactical Officer never reported for duty Sporek continued to man the tactical console, in the midst of the battle, Sporek used a tactic that would later become known as the Sporek Maneuver. Sporek in his capacity as ship's navigation officer set a course towards the Romulan Vessel at full impulse with forward shields at full power, fooling the ship into thinking they were going to ram them, when the ship came within two hundred meters of the Romulans Sporek would fire photon torpedoes. Following the destruction of the Romulan vessel Sporek was promoted to the position of Chief Tactical Officer. As a member of the senior staff Sporek received the opportunity to join countless away missions, it was through this that he discovered that he had a knack for diplomacy. Sporek served with distinction aboard the Caesar and his time on the Caesar was marked by his bond with the ship’s crew which resulted in his intense loyalty to them. During his time aboard the Caesar Sporek acted as the defense council for his captain when he was court-martialed for crossing the Klingon boarder. Sporek successfully defended his captain during the hearing. In 2325 while exploring a nebula the Julius Caesar was attacked by an unknown enemy resulting in the evacuation of the crew and the subsequent destruction of the Caesar. Shortly after the destruction of the Julius Caesar Sporek was reassigned to the USS Columbus, an Excelsior class vessel where Sporek assumed the role of ship’s Chief Tactical and Security officer, and acting chief of the science department. Sporek’s duties aboard the ship allowed him gain certain opportunities not many Starfleet officers were allowed. In 2326 after his fourth pon’farr cycle T’Rin gave birth to their third child, a boy whom they named Suran. As a father Sporek had done his best to be a part of his children’s lives, when he was with them he taught them of their Vulcan heritage and his family’s history. When they were infants Sporek played the guitar and sang for his children so that they could sleep. The Columbus' mission was that of exploration and border patrol, in 2331 now with 20 years of service under his belt, Sporek was offered and accepted a teaching position at Starfleet Academy. He believed Earth would be a better place to raise his children. Sporek was assigned as an Assistant Professor of Astrophysics but after a year of teaching in the science department he was opted to become a lecturer in Criminology and Space Tactics. Sporek held master degrees in both criminal justice and forensic science. While he lectured at the Academy Sporek worked to receive his PhD in Criminology from Starfleet’s Advanced Security School. Many of his students found his classes intriguing, and as an educator Sporek found it much more effective for his students to have a hands on role in their education; however, his classes were among some of the toughest to pass. While he taught at Starfleet Academy Sporek took part in an experiment testing subspace weapons, he along with ten other colleagues warned against the use of the weapons due to their instability. As an instructor at Starfleet Academy Sporek also wrote several papers in each of the fields he worked in, for a time his paper, “Society and Birth of the Criminal”, became a required reading in the academy’s criminology course. He dedicated much of his free time to his family and his studies, after being awarded his PhD in Criminology, Sporek took the opportunity to gain his masters in interstellar relations from the Starfleet’s School of Diplomacy. Apart from his teaching duties at the Academy Sporek was also responsible for maintaining the Academy’s battle simulation systems. Sporek frequently updated himself on the various hostile forces within the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, he also made it a requirement that to pass his Space Tactics course with higher than a B one would have to last longer than six minutes in the Kobayashi Maru scenario. Much of his work at the Academy reflected his belief that creating some of the best tacticians and security officers in Starfleet was crucial to the Federation’s protection. Many of his students went on to enroll in Starfleet's Advanced Tactical Training, Advanced Combat Pilot Academy, or Starfleet Command School, adding some prestige to Sporek's reputation. In his criminology course he often subjected his students to rigorous tests, challenging them to remember the various laws that governed varying Federation member worlds, and also pit them against various scenarios that challenged them to both outthink the criminal mind and become the criminal. In the summer while many of the students were away Sporek was an evaluated potential cadets and was an instructor for the Starfleet Academy Preparatory Program. Many of the initiates who were able to succeed in the program were always discouraged to learn that Sporek would be one of their teachers at the Academy. In spite of Sporek’s stern and cold nature the education of his students was important to him and he took many students under his guidance, becoming a father figure to more than a few of them. By the 2340's tensions with the Cardassians were mounting, Sporek monitored the situation closely and believed that war was on the horizon. As a result he would periodically update his students regarding Cardassian technology and battle strategies, and chaired several seminars on Cardassian battle tactics. In 2351, when full scale war broke out, Sporek left his position at Starfleet Academy and returned to active duty. Sporek rejoined his wife and the crew of the Columbus, reclaiming his position of Chief Tactical and Security officer. Shortly after Sporek’s return to the Columbus the ship was ordered to the front lines of the war. Sporek had very little contact with the Cardassians outside the simulations he provided to his students and initially saw the Cardassians as a valiant foe, worthy of the reputation that they had earned. In 2352 Sporek was ordered to take command of a security team which was to ordered to temporarily aide forces fighting on Cetii II, a small colony near Cardassian space. Sporek was forced to think of new tactics in order to outsmart his Cardassian rivals, while fighting on the colony his respect for the Cardassians all but disappeared when he saw their brutality towards the civilians. Only in his personal logs did he express his deep contempt for the Cardassians. The officers assigned under Sporek looked up to him and he did his best to keep their respect, however it was difficult to promise them victory in such a harsh environment. After a month on the colony Sporek and his team had regained control over most of Cetii II, with each city recaptured Sporek recruited civilian security forces to help fend off the Cardassians. Eventually the security forces and the Cardassians entered a stalemate. In the fight for the colony, victory came on stardate 235306.15 but at a costly price, the lives of twenty five people in Sporek’s security force had been taken. While those who were still fit to celebrate partied Sporek noted in his log that there is nothing sweet about a Pyrrhic victory. Following his return to the Columbus Sporek was permitted to take a brief shore leave. During his rest Sporek spent much of his free time in deep meditation, the fighting had left a lasting effect on him but fortunately his wife was there to console him through as he regained his logic. He was temporarily assigned to Starbase 11 where he acted as a tactical advisor for Admiral Peterson, advising him on the Tholians, after two months he returned to the USS Columbus. The Columbus continued to fight in the front lines of the Cardassian War until 2355 when the ship was pulled away to monitor the Romulan Neutral Zone, though the Romulans had been silent for many decades Starfleet believed the current war with the Cardassians would serve as a means for Romulans to enter Federation space. The truth however was that Starfleet Command planned to decommission the USS Columbus, in 2357 after 31 years of service. After the ship was decommissioned Sporek and T’Rin returned to Vulcan. Both T’Rin and Sporek choose to take an extended leave of duty. While on Vulcan Sporek lectured at the Vulcan Defense Institute he also decided to aid the V’Shar, Vulcan's internal security force, further integrating himself into the intelligence field. In 2358 Sporek was chosen to serve as a liaison officer between Starfleet Intelligence and the V’Shar, the two organizations joined together in order to track down a group of dissident Vulcans wishing to seek amnesty in Romulan space. Sporek had become skilled at finding information and people who did not want to be found; something he owed to his training in intelligence while he was at the academy. With the combined skills of Sporek and the other intelligence operatives the Vulcans were recaptured and brought back to be placed on trial. After his mission came to an end Sporek was asked to participate in various missions, and during this period he would spend some time away from Vulcan. These mission are deemed highly classified and require a level 6 or higher security clearance for further information. In 2363 Sporek applied for and was subsequently admitted into the Interspecies Scientific Exchange, and in December of 2363 he was assigned to the IKS Do’Ha’, a Klingon vessel, as the Chief Science Officer. When he initially began serving aboard the Do’Ha’ the Klingon officers would mock him but Sporek understood that to gain the respect of the crew he would have to prove his honor. When a younger officer challenged Sporek’s orders and his honor Sporek responded by challenging the young officer to a fight. The more mature Sporek had been fighting in hand-to-hand combat for more than sixty years; it came as no surprise to Sporek that he easily defeated his opponent. From that moment Sporek was accepted as a member of the crew, he and Captain Boral eventually went on to become sparring partners. Over sometime Sporek was welcomed as a member of Boral’s house. In 2365 Sporek even became the godfather of Boral’s son, who Boral had chosen to name after Sporek. In 2367 while still serving on the IKS Do’Ha’ Sporek received news that his wife died during the battle of Wolf 359. He immediately left the Do’Ha’ to attend his wife's funeral, after the funeral he didn't return to the Klingon ship. Sporek instead chose to focus his career and following the advice of his mother Sporek joined the Federation Diplomatic Corps, resigning his Starfleet commission. Upon joining the Federation Diplomatic Corps Sporek’s first assignment was as the Defense Attaché to the Federation Consulate on Athos IV, a planet along the Federation-Cardassian border. During his time on Athos IV the Federation and Cardassians had signed the first Federation-Cardassian Peace Treaty, however, there were still skirmish battles along the border, and it was Sporek’s responsibility to advise Ambassador Reginald Granger. In this capacity Sporek gained a lot of experience in diplomacy, as a former career officer he had not taken much time to hone his diplomatic skills. Sporek showed potential as a diplomat and was sent to other consulates, and after a year he was given the title of Negotiator-at-Large allowing him to occasionally serve as a trade representative for the Federation. His specialty however, was in negotiating treaties between hostile colonists and opportunistic individuals looking to gain a foothold in a volatile region of space. Sporek quickly gained a reputation for being a shrewd negotiator, the protection of the rights of the colonists were his first concerns, and appeasing the egos of traders came last to Sporek. Sporek had become an outspoken advocate for the protection of the Federation colonies along the Federation-Cardassian border. As a veteran of the Cardassian Wars Sporek understood all too well what living under the Cardassians would mean for the colonists. In early 2369 Sporek was called back to the Federation Consulate on Athos IV to serve as the Deputy Chief of Mission. Shortly after his promotion Sporek was asked to attend a conference on Earth and en-route back to Earth a power surge occurred in the shuttle craft, severely injuring Sporek and killing the pilot. Some believed that it was an attempt on Sporek’s life but it he had only been knocked unconscious and when he awoke nearly five days later he was under the care of Dr. Anaadia Serani. Sporek felt an automatic attraction to the doctor, the two become closer; ultimately Anaadia fell in love with Sporek. Sporek being Vulcan thought it logical to have her by his side. On July 8th, 2369 Sporek and Doctor Serani were married in Hawaii, shortly after the ceremony Sporek returned to Athos. Their marriage coincided with another of his pon'farr cycles and nine months later in April of 2370 Anaadia gave birth to fraternal triplets two girls Alana and T'Sai and one boy Michael. While he had been on Earth, Starfleet had negotiated a new treaty with the Cardassian Union which would force colonists to vacate their homes. Sporek was an outspoken opponent of the new treaty but there was nothing he could do to change the minds of his superiors. Shortly after the signing of the new treaty Sporek was reassigned to Cervalis V as the Chargé d'Affairs until an Ambassador could be appointed, Cervalis V was a recently colonized planet which was in close proximity to Tzenkethi space. It was Sporek’s responsibility to normalize relations in the region and help establish a democratic government on the colony. Within a year Sporek helped the Parliament of Cervalis submit an application to enter the United Federation of Planets. Sporek and his wife took a great deal of interest in the planet and invested much their time to its development. While Sporek was not fully an Ambassador, the government of Cervalis V often called upon him to aide them, he helped to open negotiations between the colonists and the Tzenkethi and he also successfully campaigned for a Starbase to be built in orbit of the planet. He would have remained on Cervalis V had it not been for the outbreak of the Dominion War. By 2373 war with the Dominion was in full swing, Sporek never forgot his loyalty to Starfleet and reenlisted in Starfleet shortly after a declaration of war was made. He was quickly assigned to the USS Thatcher, a newly commissioned Akira class vessel, as the Chief Security and Tactical Officer, without receiving a commissioning ceremony the Thatcher was sent into the war. The Thatcher was assigned to the 6th Fleet and was part of the task force assigned to protect the Bolarus System. In its first months out of dock the Thatcher saw heavy combat. The Jem’Hadar were like no foe that Sporek had ever encountered, as such he had to change from his more defensive-based strategy. In mid 2374 Sporek was reassigned to Valo II as the Strategic Operations Office, Valo II was a moon world occupied by the Jem’Hadar. When the war came to an end in 2375 Sporek was offered a teaching position at Starfleet Academy but turned it down and returned to the Thatcher. Sporek would serve on the Thatcher for another two years before deciding to assist his wife in raising their young children; he took a leave of duty and relocated to Vulcan with his wife and children. While on Vulcan Sporek became a visiting lecturer at the Vulcan Science Academy, he taught Astrophysics and Cosmology. In 2378 Sporek was invited to chair a seminar at the Orion School of Cosmology. Sporek returned to Starfleet in 2381, at the request of his wife, because it had become painfully clear that he was happiest when he was in uniform and amongst the stars. Sporek chose to join his friend, and newly promoted Captain James Conrad, aboard his saber class ship, the USS Katana, taking on the role of ship's Chief Tactical Officer - the role and the ship were a welcomed assignment for Sporek. In 2382 however, Sporek was requested to take on the role of Deputy Director of Starfleet’s Risk Assessment Division. After 6 months of service at Starfleet Tactical Command, Sporek left his position in order to serve once again with his longtime colleague, James Conrad aboard the USS Lancelot, former Flagship of Task Force 47. Sporek resumed his role as the ship’s chief tactical officer, his experiences aboard the ship helped to solidify his skills as an officer and his strengthened his friendship with Admiral Conrad. The former flagship of Obsidian Fleet's Task Force 47 was reassigned to the Zarnac Operations Division; the ever loyal Sporek followed his dear friend Admiral Conrad to his new assignment. Following the reassignment Sporek's role of ship's tactical officer lessened and he took more of a tactical advisory role, often counseling his peers on the Zarnac. His newfound free time permitted Sporek time to focus on his other studies with the Sarek School of Diplomacy on Vulcan via subspace communication. In his capacity as tactical advisor he was occasionally served a diplomat to either ease tensions or prepare his captain for the possibility of an attack. A year after his assignment in the Zarnac Operations Division Sporek requested to join the USS Edison, a science vessel, to help head it's Security and Tactical department, Sporek gladly accepted the role. During his time on the Edison he defended his dissertation: The 25th Century and Beyond: Starfleet’s Growing Role in Interstellar Relations, and subsequently completing his doctoral studies. After his brief stint aboard the Edison Sporek returned to Earth and began working as a Diplomat-at-Large for Starfleet Diplomacy. In 2387 Sporek was reassigned to the USS de Ruyter as its Chief Diplomatic Officer. Following six months aboard the USS de Ruyter Sporek was called back to Earth where he was assigned to Starfleet’s Special Security Division, to act as a liaison officer between Starfleet Security and the fractured Romulan Star Empire, following the destruction of Romulus and Remus. In 2390 he was made the Strategic Operations and Chief Security officer aboard Starbase 64, near the Romulan Neutral Zone, in an effort to continue to coordinate relief missions and protection for willing Romulan colony worlds. In 2394 he took an extended leave of duty from Starfleet following a reunification with his birth-father, he would spend the next year learning about his El-Aurian heritage and how to tap into the latent empathic abilities his father’s people were known for. In mid-2395 Sporek ended his extended leave and is awaiting reassignment on Vulcan.
