Yorkin Sinderion

Lieutenant Commander Yorkin Sinderion joined the 26th Fleet in February, 2419. Initally, he arrived as a commanding officer of U.S.S. *Mendeljejev*, *Rhode Island*-class, on mission of exploration. The developing dire circumstance, however, placed him at the helm of USS Dawn Treader, *Alita*-class. By April, 2419, he had been a full member of *Dawn Treader'*s crew, serving as Chief Flight Control Officer and Second Officer in the senior staff, leaving USS *Mendeljejev* to his former XO. On occasion, he would participate in missions alongside the crews of U.S.S. Ascension and USS Ares, as intra-fleet exchange officer.

In spite of his dual Vulcan/Romulan heritage, Yorkin is pretty much Human, as he grew up with two sisters, on Earth, in the town of Bremen. As most of the family history was lost with the destruction of Romulus, Yorkin eagerly accepted his posting on Mol'Rihan (New Romulus), participating in several archeology missions there. Beside history, his hobbies include cycling, book reading and playing Vulcan lute.

In early 2423, he resigned from active service in Starfleet. His last whereabouts, still unconfirmed, was Scalara Prime, Klingon Empire.

# Biography

## Family and Early Life

Yorkin was born as the only son, and the youngest child, to T’Preen and Sorvik. His father was a Unificationist supporter and became a diplomatic attache to the United Federation of Planets in post-Shinzon period which destabilized the Romulan Star Empire. He met T’Preen during one of the Federation Council sessions on Federation relief effort to the Empire. Whether the bonding of his parents was a matter of attraction or logical step to seal the rift between the Vulcan and Romulan people, Yorkin never fully understood. As the only son, he was quite pampered by his father, much to (logical) dissaproval of his four older sisters (older twins, adopted Romulan and adopted Human). Yorkin also never exhibited the logical-driven nature of the Vulcan people and as such was never really favoured by his maternal family.

When Yorkin was barely 8 years old, his father was recalled to Romulus in the early 2387. Wishing to introduce his daugthers to their Romulan heritage, Sorvik took twin sisters, Ayala and T’Keela, with him. Jorya, adopted one, refused to go as she considered the Earth her home. Several months into Sorvik's visit, Hobus supernova occured, destroying Romulus and Remus. Unable to cope with emotional burden of the tragic family loss, T’Preen developed Bendii syndrome, even though she was only 80 standard years old and passed away in 2390. Jorya and Olga, his Human step-sister, and their respective love partners, a Bajoran and a Trill, raised Yorkin during his formative years. Coming from and living in such a rich and colorful social background, Yorkin had grown into open-minded and amiable person.

## Starfleet Academy and Early Career

* 2398 - 2403 – Starfleet Academy
* 2412 - 2414 – introductory & intermediate level education in field of history & archeology, equivalent to Bachelor degree, certified by Starfleet Academy-History Department and Republican Dewan History Institute, under decree SFA-1579-336-01-B05

Graduating from Starfleet Academy in 2403, now-Ensign Sinderion was assigned to U.S.S. *Atlas*, under command of Captain Morgan Bateson. As the tensions with the Klingon Empire were rising, U.S.S. *Atlas* was sent to patrol along the Federation-Klingon border, being involved in several minor skirmishes with ”local Klingon bullies”, as Captain Bateson reffered to them. IAt the end of Federation-Klingon war, Yorkin was promoted to Lieutenant, junior grade, and transferred to 192nd Fleet (aka The Avantguards), in the detachment of Admiral Lucy ”Lucky” Sarapova. As the Borg Collective reemerged in Alpha and Beta Quadrants, Yorkin was sent to Defera to assist halting the invasion there, in 2411.

During his time on Defera, Yorkin met T’Lara, a young Vulcan scientist affiliated with the Vulcan Science Academy whos team worked on the development of the fractal frequency remodulator. Experiencing *pon’farr* during her posting on Defera, Yorkin unwillingly became romantically involved with T’Lara. With the Borg threat to Defera eliminated, Yorkin and T’Lara were sent to Nukara to counter the Tholians, during 2412. Shortly upon official recognition of the Romulan Republic (RR), they were both transferred then to Mol’Rihan. Working with T’Lara, Yorkin developed an interest in history and reassigned to science track during his posting on New Romulus. Although he was still mostly assigned to security of science camps, he learned much about history and archeology, and also becoming one of the first officers who discoverd ancient Dewan artifacts in Pahheos Caves.

When Jenolan Dyson Sphere was discovered in late 2414, the Starfleet Admirality promoted T’Lara to the rank of Lt. Commander and gave her command of USS *Mendeljejev*, *Olympus*-class science vessel, while Yorkin took position of Chief Tactical Officer, becoming third in command chain. As the Vaadwuar Supremacy had the upper hand in their conquest of the Delta Quadrant, USS *Mendeljejev* was mostly assigned with various relief efforts, particularly in region around Kobali Prime.

## The Iconian War

When the Iconian War started in mid-2415, like many other Starfleet vessels, USS *Mendeljejev* was repurposed to the battle conditions. As the Alliance fleet amassed for the desperate, head-on strike against the Herald Sphere, Yorkin grew weary of constant fighting he was exposed to over the decade.

During the battle at the Herald Sphere, USS *Mendeljejev* sustained heavy damage. With only minutes left for the ship evacuation, CO T’Lara nerved-pinched him during the rather personal argument on the disintegrating bridge and had him carried away by her XO, Lieutenant Amel Aulder. After Aulder signaled they abandoned the ship, T’Lara rammed her against one of Iconian Quas Cruisers, destroying both vessels in the process. The survivors were picked up by the Starfleet vessel under the command of the Captain who would return the World Heart to the Iconians, thus ending the war.

Stricken with grief, Yorkin fell into depression, reliving the loss of his father, sisters and many comrades that fell to the Borg on Defera, the Voth in Solanae Dyson Sphere and the Iconians. After almost a year of therapies, Yorkin recovered enough to be considered fit for duty in early 2417. Now-Captain Amel Aulder offered him position aboard USS *Mendeljejev*-A, now *Rhode Island*-class, to join him for Alliance Exploration Initiative at Starbase Magellan in the Archer system. During one of the missions, Captain Aulder was killed and his body taken away by Hirogen boarding party. While boarding party was successfully repelled, Captain’s body was not retreived. Yorkin was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and given the command of *Mendeljejev*-A.

Although he was medically fit for participation in Alliance efforts against the Tzenkethi and the Hurq, Yorkin was convinced it was Admiral Sarapova, his shadow patron, who kept him away from new engagements. After three years at Starbase *Magellan*, in 2419 Yorkin requested a transfer to Starbase 381 in The Outback, feeling that him and his crew, mostly comprised of officers from the original *Mendeljejev*, were ready to leave the Milky Way behind.

# Personal Achievements

## Service Record in the Milky Way

Stardate 85405 (April 2407) Participated in the ground deployment on Cestus III. After 3-day siege of Pike City, the Klingon forces abandon the ground battle, and proceed to bombard the planet. Timely arrival of 192th Fleet saves the day, as the KDF ship squadrons are destroyed, one by one.

Stardate 88153 (July 2410) On the front lines in Kassae System, then Ensign Sinderion participates in several skirmishes.

Stardate 89466 (November 2411) Lieutenant Sinderion accompanies MACO and Hazard units in extraction of Deferi citizen in Borg control areas on Defera Prime.

Stardate 97547 (December 10th, 2419) As USS *Dawn Treader* is still under repairs in the drydock, Sinderion boards Fleet flagship, U.S.S. Reprisal, which has been tasked with visiting Myrkheim Confederacy. It is discovered that Myrkheim home system C-07 had completely vanished. Investigation leads LCDR Sinderion and Commander Marcus\_Hawthorne to evidence that disappearance of Myrkheim is linked to the same entity which intervened in the Battle of Discens.

* Investigation of Myrheim Confederacy home system (classified)

Stardate 97793 (March 10th, 2420) Following on the previous leads found in Myrkheim territory, and with some input from Marshall Sindari t'Lareth, Sinderion and Hawthorne join an expedition, led by Admiral Rel'valis Nightmoon, to the center of Destiny Nebula.
