Lt. Cmdr. Thavgaren ch'Serth



Garen joined Starfleet at a young age, and was accepted to the Academy at 16. By his second year, the Andorian Than specialized in Security, but one of his professors felt he was better suited for espionage work. A superb pilot of small craft, as well as an excellent marksman, the young cadet was noticed by the brass and quickly assigned to a field assignment in lieu of his Cadet Cruise. Admiral Uhura signed off on accepting the young officer and Garen began as a lieutenant j.g. By the time Thavgaren ch'Serth made full lieutenant, he was assigned to U.S.S. Twilight as the Beta-Shift Tactical Officer. The first mission resulted in a disasterous attack, when the M-5 multitronics computer--stolen from a museum by Section 31 agents--was put in control of the Defiant-class USS Adamant. M-5 attacked from above the eccleptic plane, and fired the Adamant's pulse-phaser cannons with lethal accuracy, completely destroying the Twilight's bridge. With most of the senior staff dead, the Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Harker, was left in command of both the mission and the ship. Then-Lieutenant ch'Serth became Chief of Tactical, and his expert advice and control of Twilight's weapons and espionage systems aided greatly in the success of the mission: the destruction of the Adamant, and foiling Section-31's plot to annhiliate the Cardassian people, nearly 100 years before the beginning of the Dominion War.

When Twilight was refit with quantum torpedoes and four Valkyrie Starfighters, ch'Serth was the Wing Commander who coordinated all missions. In 2371, on a dangerous mission to Romulus to save the empress, Lt. Cmdr. T'Lura deliberately infected Col. Sela of the Tal Shiar with her own bio-weapon, and Sela's men disintegrated Twilight's First Officer with disruptor fire. Dr. Harker, ch'Serth, and the rest of the Away Team barely survived, thanks to T'Lura's sacrifice, and was escorted to the royal apartments where he administered the cure, developed by Adm. McCoy on Earth. Garen ch'Serth was promoted to Lt. Cmdr., and First Officer of Twilight, where he continued to serve Starfleet with distinction.

ch'Serth's former position as U.S.S. Twilight's Tactical Officer was taken by a Klingon exchange officer named Lt. Mord, sent over by Klingon Imperial Intelligence. (Mord was in reality Toq, a half-Romulan who was rescued by Worf years prior, but only Twilight's senior staff knows this secret.)
