| Personal History | Rear Admiral T'Shaamet or "Runt" as she is nicknamed was born on Kroedis II, a bustling Federation colony world in 2349 to Vulcan parents. She was to become the smallest of her four siblings and as such she would acquire the nickname 'Runt' from her human classmates a name that always confused her until someone explained it to her which still confused her, she simply did not see the emotional context of the nickname but when she did, she would regard it as an insult for many years afterward. Her parents were traders and while they tried to instill the tenants of Vulcan civilization into their five children, they didn't quite succeed with T'Shaamet as she was a little more outgoing and as a result, she struggled with her emotional volatility for many years, even into adulthood. T'Shaamet was misunderstood by many who simply saw her as someone who was a rebel without a cause and others feared her as she had gotten into one fight but she had sent the half dozen people involved to the town's hospital. T'Shaamet grew up here often struggling with her emotional side until one day when she was nine years old, she was forced to embrace it because four youth's wanted blood from her for various offenses that she had committed while in school. That was the rationale for what they were going to do to her. The battle was long and quite bloody as everyone got hurt, even T'Shaamet herself who was outnumbered and outclassed by these four bullies but while she was the last one standing, she was also defeated because she had abandoned one of the core tenants of her civilization. Her parents had always taught her to think creatively and independently but now they were wondering if she needed to go back to Vulcan, to spend time with a master. T'Shaamet requested otherwise and she fought for it using logic as she was able to rational the balance between both that she alone had established after the dust settled, she returned to her classroom studies with more dedication than ever before. When T'Shaamet came of age, she graduated school and applied immediately for Starfleet academy, she was accepted and went off for the fall intake of 2366 and while there, she participated in the academy's deployment to face the Borg in 2367, she and her entire class was awarded the Grankite order of tactics, so was most of the students at the academy for various reasons. T'Shaamet first met Jake Yamaguchi here at this time along with many others who would become prominent in her later career. His work ethic did him credit but his life outside of his studies was crap so she got curious, she was rewarded as the worst aspect of being Vulcan reared its ugly head, she came down with the Pon Far about a year into their relationship, had she not done so, it's highly possible that things between these two would never have developed. T'Shaamet graduated in 2370 as an operations officer and she was assigned to the USS Dauntless, a Galaxy-class ship and it was here where she would learn a great deal about warfare and it's after-effects as she would fight the Klingons, the Cardassians, the Dominion, and the Borg while assigned to this ship, only departing the Dauntless in 2375. T'Shaamet was almost dreading her forthcoming pon far but she stuck in for a transfer to the Courageous, to whatever posting they had open and she was reunited with her husband, less then ten days later, she came down with the Pon-Far and she reminded her husband of their bond with several hours of intensely passionate sex. T'Shaamet found herself fitting in very well with this assignment and she decided that she would remain here see herself remaining here, beside her mate. She then assumed command of the Courageous when her commander was killed at the battle of Getha, she was offered her command and the small Vulcan accepted command of the Courageous. T'Shaamet would keep the command of this Galaxy-class ship, only finally relinquishing it as a new Captain came aboard in twenty-three ninety, by then this Vulcan had four children and her husband was still assigned here. Thus she would remain so as well as she refused to be parted from her husband and children for any reason whatsoever. Even ending up in the Triangulum galaxy did not deter her. |
