Personal History His brother - Jaton T'aa - died whilst on deployment on a deep space federation mission, on board the USS Montana, which well foul to 'accidental loss' in 2284. The Montana, a research and exploration vessel consisting of a minimal crew, was lost without trace 10 years before Tressic's recruitment. Possible accusations lie with the Romulan Obsidian Order guard, bent on recruiting Federation secrets and research into cloaking technology, specifically the capability to transport and fire whilst in stealth mode. His brother was a senior scientific advisor on the Montana, part of a long line of Xindi primate weapon specialists. His brother's death was a strong factor in motivating his enlistment; Federaion stability and peace holds strong in his belief - considering species history and recent events involving the conspiracy against the Klingon chancellor, Gorkon.
Service Record First service recorded on the USS Alabama - 2290, secondary Ops control. Transferred to the USS Regal on promotion, in 2291, to secondary Helmsman after taking part in a series of specialist aid missions to help restore communities and particularly vulnerable cities during the threat to Earth by an unidentified alien probe. First class graduation from Starfleet academy, theorist in Tachyon wave dispersal, an experimental science that tracks wormhole emergence; of interest for deep space mission and the exploration of uncharted Delta and Gamma quadrants.
