Personal History

(Note: all dates below are in the Human calender)

2060: Noraus was born in the closing decades of epic period of extreme violence in Ullia's history known as the 'Mind Wars'. Noraus was born into the Therastos clan which was one of the only two Ullian clans never to be subjugated by a Dark Adept.

2066 - 2075: At the age of 6 it was established that Noruas possessed significant psionic ability and was enrolled as a novice Adept in the Therastosian military accademy, which at the time was the only surviving organization to train Adepts to follow the 'Code of Light'. He received a lengthy and strenuous education which included training in homoeopathic and herbal Medicine, martial arts, the 'Code of Light' and of course his mental powers.

2076: At the age of 16 Noruas was appointed Adept and assigned as a junior officer in the Therastosian armed forces.

2077 - 2088: Mind Lord Dreath Brivinara Jharethos made first contact with an alien race. Using Ullian psionic education techniques clan Jharethos quickly assimilated the Klingons technology and in the next 11 years conquered Ullia by ruthlessly destroying all competing 'Mind Lords' and enslaving their populations. Dreath Brivinara declared himself Emporer of Ullia. During this period Noruas served in several guirilla campaigns, and helped many refugees escape into Therastosian lands.

2089 - 2093: When the assault of Dreath Brivinara's slave armies finally came Noruas faught hard against impossible odds; after 4 years of bitter fighting the defending forces were eventually driven into their final refuge in the deep mountains.

Autumn 2093: The Emperor committed his captured Klingon warship to expend the last of its ordinance to pound Therastosian positions into submission. In desperation the ruling council of Therastos determined that their only method of survival was to kill the Emperor. The thirteen most powerful Adepts where asked to volunteer for what was in essence a suicide mission. To his chagrin Noruas was not selected.

Winter 2093: The Emperor's mental powers suddenly failed and the 'Persecution' was over; releasing his slaved armies from their compulsion including the survivors of captured Klingon crew. The shamed Klingon's apparently decided it was better to die with hour than return to Quonos and suicided their vessel into Jhareth city. The blast was so powerful that it created earth tremors which Noruas experienced from the Therastosian Mountains.

2094 – 2098: Over the next four years Noruas served with great distinction hunting down surviving minor dark adepts and ensuring that the days of the 'Mind Lords' would not return.

2161: The United Federation of Planets is formed.

2201: Noraus becomes Abbot of the Therastosian Chapter.

2242: 175 years after first contact the Klingons finally return to Ullian space. The Theocracy has prepared well for them however and a network of orbital defense platforms is used to drive the Klingon scout vessel away.

2243: The Klingons return with a squadron of 4 battle cruisers; recognizing overwhelming firepower when they see it the Theocracy sanctions the then Grand Master of the order of adepts to employ voluntary siphoning to conduct a wholesale memory modification against the attacking vessels. Noruas is part of this attack. The Klingons return to Quonos convinced that the Ullians possess a powerful fleet.

2245: The first Ullian exploration vessel 'Listara' leaves orbit. Noruas requests the privilege of joining the crew from his Abbot which is granted. Sadly he is not selected from the many applicants.

2246: The Listara encounters a Vulcan vessel investigating intelligence received from Klingon space that a massively powerful fleet is defending this area. It proves to be the first of many friendly alien races that the Ullians meet in their exploration.

2289 - 2299: Noruas reluctantly stands for, and is voted Grand Master of the Order of Adepts somewhat against his whishes...

2299 - 2308: Noruas is reluctantly elected for a second term as Grand Master serves for a further 10 years.

2309: Noruas refuses re-election outright and overruling the protests of his colleagues chooses instead to join the Ullian space exploration program.

2309-2319: Noruas serves as 'Adept' upon the Ullian Exploration Vessel 'Grasalpa Sheos' (Distant Stars) he encounters many strange civilizations.

2366: Receiving an urgent message from T'Derrans parents Noruas returns to Vulcan to find that T'Derran has been injured in a freak accident. The trauma has induced a state of Pon Farr and T'Derrans parents aware of the deep affection that the couple have for one another have applied the logical solution summoning Noruas to her side. As her emotional restraint fails Noruas and T'Derran confess their love for one another and for the first time they make love, saving T'Derran.
