Subject: Biography, Captain Sovak

Last Updated: 0210.02

 

Sovak, son of Soval, was born to his father's second wife, T'Louai during Soval's stint as Command Course Training Officer at Space Fleet Academy. His half brother, Adam Vern, from his father's previous marriage to a human, helped to raise him, until Adam graduated the Academy. Because of his father's ties with the Academy, and because he was exceptionally bright, Sovak entered and graduated the Academy by his 18th year. He served aboard the USS Drakendesh, a Transwarp Frigate, as helmsman for several months before being transferred to the USS Intrepid-C where he had the chance to serve with his half-brother. Their careers followed the same path for several years until Adam was assigned to the USS Manticore, leaving Sovak as the Executive officer aboard the [Classified]

 

Though their careers followed the same paths, their philosophies did not. While Adam seemed to reject the Vulcan ways of strict logic and non-emotion, Sovak embraced them wholeheartedly. His reputation for strict, logical decision making earned him a great deal of respect as a brilliant tactician and commander, but did little to endear him to his subordinates. While most of the crew members who work with him respect him as a good leader who makes good, sound decisions, his cold manner does not encourage social interaction, and thus he had always been a bit of a loner, his half brother the one exception to this rule.  

 

On SD 9815.02 his half brother Adam was killed, in the line of duty, aboard the Manticore.  He was in the Captain's chair, in temporary command at the time, as the Captain had refused his advice and gone on an away mission.  The Captain's guilt over the incident was exacerbated when Sovak was assigned to replace his half brother.  Sovak became an integral part of the crew, however, and even began to study human social customs after he met and married his human mate, Claire Eason, aboard the Manticore.

 

Sovak is a normal Vulcan with the race's characteristic pointed ears. His long, blond hair is worn in the traditional style of his race, but nontraditionally, he sports a goatee that seems to add to his harsh appearance. Sovak graduated from the academy at the top of his class, and began his career on the USS Drakendesh as a helmsman. He continued his command studies and was transferred to The Intrepid C. His prowess at command, along with his half-brother's influence, allowed him his choice of assignments, in most cases, they served on the same ships.
