Early History
As a young El-Aurian, Lorian escaped the destruction of his world by the Borg thanks to the act of his parents, whose fates remain unknown. He was aboard the vessels encountered by the Enterprise-B near the Nexus and it is believed that Lorian may have a connection to that anomaly.
Upon arrival to Earth, Lorian applied for and gained enterance to Starfleet Academy where he studied piloting technique as well as various starship operations. He graduated and was assigned to the USS Brahms as one of the vessel's helmsmen. After ten years of service, Lorian received a promotion to Lieutenant JG and was assigned to helmsman of the USS Farragut.
Sometime around the disappearance of the Enterprise-C, Lorian took an extended leave and journeyed to many of the systems within the Federation and beyond.
Recent Starfleet Career
With the advent of the Dominion War, his service was reactivated and he was assigned as a Lieutenant on the USS Thunderchild to be her Chief Helmsman.
The successful raid of a Cardassian convoy was attributed to Lorian's piloting skill and unique maneuvers, earning him much respect amongst the crew. On another mission, the Thunderchild came across an ambushed transport that had been carrying refugees. Lorian led the away team and discovered that there was one survivor, a young boy named Thomas Rolands.
When no living relative could be found, Lorian received permission to take the boy in. The two fit together better than a jig-saw puzzle and got along well. The war ended and Lorian contemplated taking more leave and spending time showing Thomas the sights of the quadrant. However, he received an offer to transfer to another vessel and agreed only with permission to bring Thomas along with him.
Aboard the USS Avenger, Lorian continued to serve in a position of pilot until a disastrous conflict with the Tholians resulted in the death of the ship’s executive officer. The captain felt Lorian’s service required recognition and given his dependency on Lorian’s experiences, he asked him to serve as the Avenger’s new XO. By this point, Thomas had decided to enter Starfleet Academy and headed off to Earth.
Lorian continued to serve as the vessel’s XO until 2379 when Thomas suffered a life-threatening injury during his deep space assignment. Lorian left the Avenger and returned to Earth to help Thomas recuperate. Though Lorian protested, Thomas continued to work on his studies and graduated with the rest of his class, even earning top commendations. Meanwhile, Lorian took a posting at Starfleet Academy teaching classes in Temporal Mechanics, Linguistics, and Historical Research.
After some time, Lorian was introduced to Admiral Antonie Meyer, Deputy Director of the 8th (Horizon) Fleet. Admiral Meyer was intrigued by the dedication and enthusiasm Lorian put into his work. As such, he offered the El-Aurian a position within the R&D Dept. of the 8th Fleet as Information Services Coordinator. With Thomas being assigned to the Montgomery engineering staff, Lorian decided that it was time he go back out as well. He agreed and set out for Starbase 386 to meet with Admiral Meyer and Vice Admiral Manley and begin his new duties with Horizon Fleet.
In 2385, Lorian was asked to step in as interim commanding officer of Starbase 386 until a suitable replacement for Rear Admiral Locke could be found. Upon the arrival of Captain James Lange, Lorian officially turned over command of Starbase 386 to Captain Lange and resumed his duties in the R&D Department.
