Personal History
Born to a pair of botanists, Asfar had a conventional upbringing travelling around the Federation, visiting many different planets with his parents during the course of their work. He was however, a bit of a loner during this time, not really having time to meet up with and make friends of his own age with all the moving about.
It was while travelling between postings that the young Asfar was introduced to engineering by necessity. The vessel his family were travelling on had stopped off briefly to observe a stellar eruption when the ship, an old 23rd Century transport, lost primary power. Due to a modification of the EPS layout, the engineering staff couldn't reach the affected section because the location was too restrictive.
Asfar managed to convince his parents and the Captain that he could squeeze into the area and make the repair for them. It was successful. For the rest of the journey, and subsequent trips, he began spending time with the engineers learning what he could until the day he was old enough to attend the Academy.
After graduation, he was assigned as a Midshipman to the USS Medusa, a Zeus Class Cruiser. His career here wasn't ground breaking, but he did through hard work achieve the rank of Lieutenant [JG] and held the position of Gamma Shift Supervisor. It wasn't until it was suggested that there may be an opening aboard the newly commissioned USS Nikola Tesla that he even considered the possibility of moving on in his career having become rather too comfortable where he was.
His first mission aboard the Tesla was a simple survey mission in the Shackleton Expanse. [FILE SECURED. ACCESS DENIED.]
It was about this time he began a relationship with another of the Tesla's engineers. Ensign Karai of Vulcan.
The next deployment was a rescue mission. A medical frigate, the USS Nightingale had crossed into the Romulan Neutral Zone. Whether by accident or design, this was initially unknown, resulting in the medical vessel being disabled by a Romulan vessel. The Tesla was deployed to give assistance and recover the Nightingale. Upon arrival, it was clear that the Nightingale had sustained massive damage, and a large number of her crew had been injured or killed in the action. Asfar and the Tesla's engineers managed to get the vessel operational along with the remaining Nightingale staff. There was however a Romulan infiltrator aboard the vessel, who it was later discovered, was responsible for the ship’s near destruction. Both ships were able to return to star base, but the infiltrator escaped with whatever information they had acquired in the process.
After mission, Alturkia took leave to visit family. He returned to find that he had been reassigned to the USS Philadelphia. His Chief Engineer had resigned, and the man who he had been training on their last mission aboard the Tesla had been assigned as his superior officer as CE. The vessel was quickly dispatched on a deep range mission requiring the engines to run at high warp for several weeks to ensure that they would reach their destination before a rival Klingon vessel did so.
Over this time, despite the fact that Alturkia was a seasoned veteran, he easily accepted the younger man as his superior as he knew that he wouldn't have been assigned the task if someone didn't think he was capable.
On arrival, the reduced engineering staff had their hands full with system failures brought on from the extended running of the engines and other systems due to what was discovered to be a manufacturing error in a series of cooling pumps. The culmination of these failures resulted in a catastrophic EPS failure, structural damage and loss of sensor and weapons efficiency in a potential combat situation.
This was however only the tip of the problems they would have to deal with. The Tholians arrived in system shortly after and fired on the ship. While on the planet below, a civil war began while a crystalline crypto-entity chose the same moment to emerge from the core of the planet. Alturkia used his extensive knowledge in organic chemistry to devise a method of inhibiting an isolytic weapon through the use of a neutron beam. Meanwhile, the ship fired on the location of the entity. Thankfully, the vessel completed its mission despite all adversaries.
