## Family and Early Life

 File:YS5rkaQ+(1).jpg

Aigoh was born in 2362 to Milikan Haroa and Relanna Moran in Hathon during the Occupation of Bajor. His father was the leader of a resistance cell in Hathon that stole extra food rations for the city’s occupants while simultaneously committing several terrorist acts against the Cardassian administration there by destroying Union property and brutalizing their military forces. The cell was one of the more violent ones spread throughout Bajor by using the threat of physical pain on Cardassian Guls and Glinns to prevent them from notifying Prefect Gul Dukat about their actions.

The actions of his father, however, were not well known to Aigoh who lived out his childhood in ignorance of the severe state that Bajor was in. Milikan was hardly around since the activities of his resistance cell kept him away from bonding with his son which caused Aigoh’s main role model being that of his mother. He was an amiable child who was entertained by the art of painting and drawing, a hobby Relanna shared with him despite the few art supplies the family had access to.

Once the Occupation ended, Milikan became a colonel in the Bajoran Militia and was at home far more often to help Relanna care for the now seven year old Aigoh who was overjoyed at being allowed to go outside. Aigoh frequently left the house to explore the more restricted areas of Hathon, specifically the sewers and abandoned Union administration buildings much to the chagrin of his father. It wasn’t until the USS *Enterprise-D* came to Bajor to help repair the aqueduct system in 2369, that Aigoh had his first brush with the Federation, further complicating his relationship with his father.

## The USS *Enterprise-D* visits Bajor

While exploring the ruined aqueduct system with his friends, Aigoh stumbled upon several Starfleet officers working to repair the broken structures. What was most fascinating to the young boy was the variety of species present such as Bolian, Tellarite, Andorian, Vulcan, and Human all working together toward a common goal. It was the first time he had seen non-Bajorans in his whole life and he watched them work from afar until it was late in the afternoon.

So, just like any curious young boy, he researched the Federation for days on end in the local library, reading long winded records dating from its foundation to the current century. This brought him into conflict with his father, an outspoken Bajoran isolationist who intensely opposed Federation involvement in Bajor's development since they turned a blind eye to the injustice Bajorans suffered during the Occupation. Consequently, Milikan was disturbed to discover that his son showed such interest in the Federation, leading him to attempt and fail to censor the library's records on the subject.

## Adolescence and DS9

Aigoh's faith in the Federation only intensified after the Dominion War after being inspired by the bravery of the Bajoran Emissary, Captain Benjamin Sisko, which consequently caused him to consider a future in Starfleet instead of the Bajoran Militia. This only increased the rift between him and Milikan, and they frequently got into heated arguments with Milikan trying to besmirch Aigoh's faith in the Federation and criticize his naïveté. Aigoh's mother, Relanna, tried to break up these arguments at first but eventually gave up, comparing them to "an unstoppable force against an immovable object". She refused to pick sides when they tried to drag her into their arguments and chastised them for being "boneheaded".

Years of constant arguing and misunderstanding took its toll on Aigoh and he convinced himself he could no longer live with a father who was blinded by the past. In 2380, Aigoh moved away with his girlfriend, Cucia Idram, to DS9 where he would work as a waiter at Quark's. This act ultimately ostracized him in the eyes of his father, and they refused to speak to each other ever again, effectively breaking Relanna's heart. In his off time, Aigoh studied long, arduous hours for his Starfleet Academy entrance exam while simultaneously caring for his newborn daughter, Syru. Cucia remained supportive but hesitant of Aigoh's determination to join Starfleet as she was concerned that his duty would keep him away from home several months or even years. He promised her he would remain in constant contact through frequent messages, a promise which he still upholds to this day.

While serving as a waiter, Aigoh eventually created a good working relationship with his boss, Quark, who saw him as a hard worker despite the somewhat meager pay Aigoh received. Nonetheless, Aigoh recounted his experience in the bar as 'rewarding and humbling', admitting that his experience working in a difficult lower class job taught him the values of education and learning, a value he tried to instill when raising Syru. He was known on the station to be personable and friendly while frequently visting the station's temple to pray to the Prophets to watch over his wife and daughter. Eventually, he earned the notice of the station's commander, Commander Kira, who he later asked for a recommendation for Starfleet Academy. Come 2385, Aigoh said farewell to the station, his four year old daughter, and his wife to depart to San Francisco on Earth to start his well deserved path to becoming a Starfleet officer.

## Starfleet Academy and Early Career

Aigoh's first semester at the academy could best be described as 'testing the waters' since he was hesitant to make friends, believing that they would distract him from the rigorous course of study. However, once the second semester rolled around, Aigoh started to get out of his comfort zone and start projecting himself more, a quality which his professors admired. Having great confidence in himself, he pursued a career in the infamous command school while minoring in astrophysics to sate his love for science. During his years at the Academy, Aigoh remained in constant contact with wife and daughter while simultaneously visiting them on DS9 during the breaks.
