Past History:

 

Born on Betazed, the son of Luxoria and Dano, and the eldest of the N’Dak children.

 

While growing up, Koshic was an avid pilot, learning to fly small fighters and shuttles at the age of 12. Koshic’s uncle, General Erret N’Dak was the driving force behind his early love for flight.

 

The N’Dak family is considered something of Royalty on Elasia. Koshic, as the oldest living male, is now the Lord Regent of the Rohland, which includes several other hereditary titles. Due to his commitment to Starfleet (and a dislike for the politics of Elasia) he entrusted the duties of the being a Regent to his younger cousin and viceroy Coreth N’Dak.

 

While a cadet, he received high grades showing an aptitude for the sciences, in particularly in Anthropology, Archeology, and Geology. He distinguished himself in those fields helping to discover Ancient Iconian ruins on a small moon of Vulcan.

 

During his second year he was injured in a shuttle accident on Goros VII when the pilot of the shuttle lost control in the upper atmosphere. Fortunately the accident was not severe and only the co-pilot was seriously injured. Although the accident left him somewhat nervous about flying, he eventually returned to the pilot’s seat and currently holds the classification as a Class 4 pilot.

 

After the accident Koshic continued to work laboriously on his studies graduating near the top of his class. He later earned a Doctorate in Archeology from San Francisco Planetary University. After Graduation N’Dak became a Professor of Archeology at Star Fleet Academy before being posting aboard the USS Arcadia as an Assistant Science Officer.

 

He has had two torrid Romances: An earlier romance with fellow cadet Nautlia Halle, the daughter of the Trill Ambassador, which ended when it was discovered that one of Halle (the symboint) former hosts had a previous relationship with N'Dak's father; Nautlia's father and the Trill Symbiont Commission forced the two to break the relationship off. The second was between Koshic and the Elasian Dohlman (or high Princess) Hecua. The two were enaged to be married but Hecua got cold feet and backed out shortly before the wedding leaving N'dak heartbroken, though under Elasian custom, he is still considered the be the "Arc Royale" of Dohlman.

 

About 6 years ago, N’Dak was nearly assassinated during a “diplomatic” mission to Danter. It would be one of the few times that he would actually perform his duties as Lord Regent of the Rohland, instead of passing them off to his younger cousin and Vice-Roy Coreth. While the actual events that led up to the assassination attempt remain classified, rumors swirled that the Danteri Government was behind the assassination attempt.

 

Psychological Profile:

From a young age he was always exploring, even accompanying his father on Diplomatic missions. This drive to explore is probably what led him to Star Fleet.

 

Koshic’s empathic powers are considerable. While the power from the Betazoids are obvious, it is the powers from the Elasians that are little know, these powers are rarely shown by any Elasians and are relatively unknown to Starfleet Medical, what is known is that the 'Elasian Tears' are some how related to them. His Telepathic Psi rating is a p7 or p8 on a scale of 1 to 13, although given the demonstrations of his powers at various times, this rating is most likely much higher.

 

Koshic has been known on occasion to bend the rules. His early success has led him to have a somewhat elitist attitude towards other scientists and colleagues in general.

 

Koshic is some what of a duelist; could be classified as mildly bi-polar. He often bounces between reserved, calm and collected to violent, aggressive, and arrogant.

 

 

Additional Notes:

 

Koshic is a specialist in Ancient Alien Cultures.. He has also studied, at length, the Romulan and Vulcan cultures and is fluent in both Rihan (Romulan) and Vulcan.

His generalization is Anthropology, Geology, and Archeology with a strong background in Xenobiology and Xenoanthropology .

 

He has written books on the Ancient Iconians and their descendant cultures as well books on modern alien cultures, one of which is now used as a standard reading text for all Starfleet Cadets.

 

 

Recent Career History:

 

Originally assigned to the Arcadia as an assistant science officer, he was quickly thrust into the every day missions of the vessel. On his first mission he was part of Captain Moose’s team during a war game exercise.

 

During that mission he, along with the rest of his team, became stranded in an alternate dimension, which bordered on the edge of our own. Unaware of their new surroundings, Moose sent a team including N’Dak and the now deceased Hans Sieben to locate Team Dacotah. During there search for Team Dacotah, who had not crossed into the Alternate Dimension, the group became lost.

 

Showing tremendous psionic powers—either as a result of his true power or it being amplified in the alternate dimension—N’Dak was able to communicate through Lt. Commander Jaruq and eventually facilitate his groups rescue.

 

After the war games, the Arcadia was sent to recover a probe which had crash landed on a primitive planet, Arcady Prime. During the retrieval mission, N’Dak, Lt. Commander Lo’Ami and then Ensign Nemesis were captured by a group of rouge native-male Arcadys. During captivity, N’Dak was rendered unconscious and latter awoke to find himself in a makeshift medical facility on the planet that had been set-up to deal with the after math of a rescue mission gone horridly wrong.

 

Following the disastrous mission on Arcady Prime, the Arcadia traveled to the P’Jem monastery for the much distressed crew. During said little field trip, the ship was taken over by a group of hostile Andorians. However the crew of the Arcadia was able to retake the vessel, N’Dak helped in this effort.

 

Shortly after, the Arcadia was recalled to starbase for repairs, and the crew given leave. N’Dak along with a former student from his teaching days, went to his ancestral home on Elasia.

 

Upon returning from the leave, the Arcadia left on an epic journey to find the Federation Delegation to Paktar (a Collation member). Following the trail of the delegation, the Arcadia crossed into the Romulan neutral zone to examine a derelict spacecraft they believed to be the key to finding the Delegation.

 

However, the Romulan Empire seamed to disagree, and the warbird RES Talon was sent to ferret out the Arcadia. Following an armed conflict both on the alien vessel and between the Talon and Arcadia, N’Dak along with other members of the Arcadia crew were taken prisoner aboard the Talon, which escaped into the Romulan side of the neutral zone to a planet named Skoru to affect repairs.

 

During the mission, several Arcadian crew members were tortured, and due to his empathic abilities, the event was rather traumatic for N’Dak. Also the believed death of Commander Hayden Dacotah, and the crew’s subsequent hyper-mourning increased the intensity of the experience.

 

During a prisoner exchange between the Talon and Arcadia (two Arcadians for one Romulan), an advanced and powerful race known only as the Squids we’re encountered. It was later learned that the Squids were searching for a rare artifact that allowed the owner to control the flow of time.

 

To facilitate this search, the Squids chose the Romulans over the Arcadians, and facilitated the final prisoner exchanges between the two vessels. The Arcadia, with all crew except for Commander Dacotah—who they listed only as MIA—left the Squids and the Romulans to their own bidding.

 

The Arcadia would later receive a distress call from the Talon (albeit from rouge members of her crew) and returned to defeat the Squids and regain Commander Dacotah, as well as a Romulan curiously named N’Dak and resembling the Arcadia N’Dak.

 

It was learned that Lt. Trichon actually had one part of the Artifact the Squids were searching for, they also had one part of the artifact, but the third and final one was floating in a gas giant, in orbit of which was the Talon, Arcadia, and a Squid Mother-ship.

 

The Arcadia managed to recover all three parts of the Artifact. A battle between the Talon, who had now managed to overthrow the Squids, the Arcadia, and the Squids ensued. It was quickly realized though, that the Squids held a clear technological advantage and dished out quite the beating to the now allied Talon and Arcadia.

 

In a last ditch effort, N’Dak connected the three parts of the Artifact and was able to use it to defeat the Squids. This was a truly impressive show if his potential power, but the ordeal drained him of energy nearly resulting in his death. As well his telepathic and empathic powers remained unstable for quite sometime after the event.

 

Following the defeat of the Squids, and the returning by the Romulans of Hayden Dacotah, the Arcadia continued onto Collation space. N’Dak’s skill as a pilot would come to his advantage, as he was the only certified level 5 pilot on the Arcadia.

 

The Arcadia eventually made its way to Collation space through a transwarp conduit. At which time they became guests of the Collation. The Arcadia crew was taken as Guests to the planet Axaia, which was getting ready to join the Collation as a member world.

 

However, it was learned that the Collation had ulterior motives—they planned on detonating a device known as the Revelation Device. The Crew of the Arcadia was sent to find the device before this could happen. During this mission, N’Dak was kidnapped by the Collation and subjected to several tests and procedures.

 

Unwittingly he was being turned into the telepath trigger for the Revelation device. Before he could be rescued, the Benai manipulated him into activating the device which would have destroyed the entire planet. The crew managed to arrive at the site of the Revelation Device, but during there break in, N’Dak was knocked unconscious this locking in the activation of the device. Lt. Hans Seiben was able to deactivate the device, but lost his life in the process.

 

Following the incident, N’Dak spent several day recuperating. The affects of using the Revelation Device have yet to fully be understood or manifest in him and only time will tell if the wounds will heal.

 

N’Dak was chosen by Captain Moose to lead the Arcadia’s new detachment of standard Starfleet Security Officers. While his pedigree most defiantly is in the Sciences, his military and political training during his youth to assume the titles of his father made him an ideal candidate.

 

Following his appointment as Chief of Security, the Arcadia was sent on a mission to locate a lost Federation vessel, which ultimately led them to a remote and dangerous planet named Konduru. While exploring the planet, looking for the crew of the USS Hunley, N'Dak and the away team, which he co-lead with Commander Lo'Ami, came under attack by powerful telepathic beings. During the attack, Commander Lo'Ami, having previously visited the planet with an earlier host, vanished. Also, Koshic once again fell prey to 'possession,' as the creatures took control of his body, hoping to use his powers and physical body to access ancient technology buried deep under the planet's surface.

 

N'Dak eventually overpowered the creatures and retook control of his body, though the experience left him shaken. Finally, the AT, aided by the 'found' Commander Lo'Ami, gained access to an ancient library hidden deeply below the surface.

 

The crew of the Hunley ultimately was discovered to have all perished at the hands of the creatures.

 

Following the Konduru mission, the Arcadia was sent to aid a planet suffering from a form of what was later identified as the "Black Plague." Koshic, however, became involved in the planet's legal system when Arcadia Chief Engineer Trichon Light was charged with a fifty-year-old murder. Koshic conducted his own investigation into the murder and ultimately proved Trichon's to be innocent.

 

Soon afterwords, the Arcadia crew took leave at Risa. However, for some it proved to be less than pleasant. Koshic, along with his cousin Coreth, Commander Hayden Dacotah, Ensign t'Vin, Commander Lo'Ami and Captain Moose became involved in a series of highly classified events that go beyond the scope of this document.

 

Following the ill-fated Risa mission, a crisis on his home planet forced him to resign his commission and resume his role as Lord Regent.
