History

Personal History Thomas hails from New Aberdeen, a rugged Federation colony world on the fringes of the Alpha Quadrant, known for its vast prairies, harsh weather cycles, and self-reliant agrarian communities that feed a massive off-world export system.

Growing up in a rural setting, he and his brothers spent their childhood helping their parents manage a family homestead that specialized in sustainable agriculture and bio-formed crops adapted to the planets' arid soil.

This hands-on environment fostered his early fascination with planetary ecosystems and genetic modification, skills he honed by experimenting with hybrid plants to combat local famines caused by erratic climate shifts.

The Dominion War's ripple effects reached even remote colonies like New Aberdeen, where Dominion raids disrupted supply lines and forced young Colonists like Thomas to improvise repairs and scavenge tech.

In 2390, at age 18, inspired by Starfleet officers who aided in reconstruction efforts, he applied to Starfleet Academy.
