## BIOGRAPHY:

Born on Earth and raised between worlds, Khalil was the middle child of three to a Cargo vessel Captain and the ship's Chief Engineer. Growing up on cargo runs taught Khalil self reliance and he was exposed to space life early on. He quickly learned the ropes of keeping a starship running both as a leader and the nitty gritty of keeping her in one piece. Even running freight near the core of Federation space was still fraught with danger, and Khalil was quickly proficient with a phaser and battle drills by the time he was 12. By the time he had entered the Academy, he was well familiar with and comfortable in the heat of battle, and making repairs under fire as a capable and highly improvisational battlefield engineer.

Graduating the Academy he went from one Engineering post to another, likely due to his skill earning him promotions....or more likely his abrasive and arrogant attitude being too much for his crewmates and superiors. But not out of malice, but out of actual affection, Khalil is very protective of his ship and his crewmates, caring for the crew and the engines as if they were family.

In 2420 Hakim was assigned the posting of Chief of Engineering, USS Brazzaville of JTF Bellerophon. Quickly earning a reputation of being a brillaint engineer.....and also a complete psychopath. Once taken prisoner by the Terran Empire along with his away team, Khalil and his fellows managed to engineer an escape and hijacked the ISS Boudicca in the process. Khalil has seen several combat actions, including being seriously wounded during the defense of Trill against Chimaera terrorists.

Khalil's service as Chief Engineer the Brazzaville was cut short by a surprise attack of the USS Ariel. The Brazzaville took heavy damage from the fighting, forcing the crew to resort to desperate measures to survive. The Brazzaville landed a well placed shot and overloaded the power grid of the Ariel, but the Brazzaville was in far worse shape, with a warp core breech imminent. In an innovative moment of genius, Khalil placed the warp core ejection system on a timer and initiated a full transfer of the crew of the Brazzaville to the Ariel with the ship's transporters, and vice versa, a tactic subsequently dubbed the Hakim Manoeuvre.

The crew of the Brazzaville seized control over the Ariel, taking the modified Luna-class Starship into the service of Joint Task Force Bellerophon. Starfleet Command, now under the firm control of Ad Populum, a far-right political party, unofficially disavowed Rotane, and officially reassigned the Ariel to Joint Task Force Bellerophon in an attempt to save face.
