TO: Capt. Joyaus Dalun - Commanding Officer, USS Sentinel (NCC-93014)
CC: Capt. Vree'oklo'klan - Commanding Officer, USS Coral Ridge (NCC-94721)
SUBJECT: Transfer Request; Vorath, Son of Braxus - Executive Officer, USS Coral Ridge (NCC-94721)
Captain Dalun,
I have completed my two months leave following the USS Coral Ridge's return from it's recent extended three year deep space exploration mission. The Coral Ridge is beginning it's preparations to redeploy and while I value the Coral Ridge's scientific and exploration mandate, I find little satisfaction in immediately returning to that primary mission profile.
It has come to my attention that a position on the USS Sentinel's senior staff has recently opened. I long for a post that challenges not only my mental acuity, but my martial prowess as well. The Sentinel's reputation is an honorable one and I would feel privileged to belong to such a distinguished crew.
My time as the Executive Officer of the Coral Ridge has been a valuable learning experience and I leave that command knowing the ship is in good hands. I have served with her Captain for most of my career, and I can easily count him as one of my most trusted friends. I make this request with his blessing.
I place high value on my career and current position as XO of the Coral Ridge, however my heart craves more. I would be greatly honored if you would consider my application to join your crew.
Signed,
Lt Cmdr. Vorath Son of Braxus
Executive Officer
USS Coral Ridge (NCC-94721)

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES:
Born to the noble Klingon House of Ba'ruk, Vorath is the last living child of the Klingon General Braxus, Son of Ba'ruk and and Ba'or, Daughter of Saless. Vorath can trace his paternal lineage back 34 generations to the Warlord Moresh, who lived in the time before Kahless and ruled the HutDIch Mountains. Vorath is a direct descendant of the Hero of Jat'yln Pass, Brigadier Kam'pok.
Raised the ancient Klingon traditions, Vorath grew up idolizing his father and dreamed of following his example. Vorath's father was a well respected and high level Klingon General and also was guest instructor at Starfleet Academy when Vice Admiral Brian Donaldson attended in the 2380's. General Braxus took the young Donaldson under his wing and their friendship always remained strong.
When Vorath came of age, instead of following in his father's footsteps and joining the Klingon Defense Force, Vorath approached Donaldson and asked to sponsored to join Starfleet Academy. Raised among both klingons and humans, Vorath grew angered at the current downward spiral Klingon/Federation politics were taking. He hoped to be a bridge between the two cultures. General Braxus was not pleased, but respected his youngest son's decision. The General's other sons had all joined the Defense Force and would satisfy his House's obligations to the Empire.
During Vorath's Academy years, tensions between the Klingon Empire and the Federation quickly spiraled more and more out of control. In 2405, he graduated with full honors, both his father and Donaldson attended the ceremony. It would be the last time all three were together as friends.
After graduation, Donaldson had Vorath posted with him on the USS Lexington as a junior security officer. Later that year the Klingon Empire sent multiple communications to Vorath and other Klingon officers serving in Starfleet, with orders to return to the Empire or face dishonor. Vorath refused.
In 2406, the Lexington along with six other starships of the 4th Fleet, were tasked with protecting the Cardassian controlled Pentath System from possible Klingon invasion. General Braxus, arrived in Pentath soon after as the head of the Klingon invasion force.
After a fierce battle, General Braxus' Flagship was destroyed and the Klingons were pushed back. For his participation in the Battle of Pentath and for siding against not only the Empire but his father too, the Klingon High Council branded Vorath a traitor and stripped him of his honor and claim to his Father's House and holdings.
Vorath served Starfleet with courage, dedication, and valor for many years. Following Donaldson on virtually every assignment, even when Donaldson was promoted to Rear Admiral and Commanding Officer of the 22nd Mobile. Vorath has served as Chief Security Officer of the Lexington, Chief Tactical officer of the original Independence, Chief Tactical and Security Officer of the Coral Ridge, Strategic Operations Officer/Second Officer on the Endeavour, Executive Officer on the Endeavour, and currently for the past three years is the Executive Officer of the Coral Ridge under the command of Captain Vree'oklo'klan. Vorath has served as an Adjunct Instructor at Starfleet Academy twice.
Vorath is a born warrior, focusing most of his training on improving his martial prowess. However, during his Academy years, after several scuffles with his fellow cadets, Vorath was required to take a course in Sociology. His study of Interspecies Relations has broadened his views on different cultures and as a result has given him a deep appreciation for diplomacy. Vorath says, "Anyone can resort to violence to achieve his aims. The real test of the Warrior's Heart is whether you can reach a settlement peacefully. That is the harder battle."
While at the Academy, Vorath entered into a romantic relation ship with fellow cadet Natalia Margolis, a relationship that would go off an on for many years. The mating produced two bastard children, Braga, Son of Vorath and K'Lith, Daughter of Natalia. Being half human and half Klingon and having no Klingon House, Vorath's children were raised entirely in the Federation. Vorath's son, Braga, has recently joined Starfleet Academy and hopes to follow in his father's footsteps.
Vorath has a large scar over his right eye as a result of an injury sustained during the Battle of Pentath. He wears it proudly not only as a badge of honor, but as a constant reminder of the consequences he has brought upon himself by siding against his family and his people.
HOBBIES AND INTERESTS:
Vorath is the consummate Klingon warrior, dedicated to the demanding Klingon Honor Code and ever striving to perfect his martial prowess. Along with being an expert at various hand-to-hand forms of combat, Vorath is a Dung'chu'pIn (Low Master) level Mok'bara practitioner and instructs interested students on his free time.
