Cz'mal Pouna

Cz'mal Pouna (Siz-mall Pal-mah) was the Centurian chief tactical officer and chief of security aboard both USS Rimors. He was well known for assisting Daniel Givens in the creation of the type-XVII phasers during the reconstruction of the Rimor-class starship and for his actions during the Federation-Galactonian War.

Early life
Pouna was born in 2402 to two unnamed Centurian parents. His forename and surname, Cz'mal Pouna, were two words in Centurinite. Cz'mal was orignally spelled Ce'zmal and meant "warrior" Pouna was orignally spelled in its phonetic version, Palmah, and it meant courageous. So, in a matter of speaking, Cz'mal Pouna is an alternative spelling of Ce'zmal Palmah which translates into "warrior courageous". Pouna's parents gave him this name because he "put up a fight during labor", labor which lasted approximately two days.

(In Centurian culture, words cannot be names, so names based off of words had to have an alternate and unique spelling, Pouna was the alternate spelling of Palmah but had the same pronunciation. So if you're pronouncing Pouna pooh-nah or poh-you-nah or something else, that's wrong, it's Pal-mah,) ====== Per Centurian educational laws Pouna went off to pre-school at age four. He performed outstandingly during his pre-school years (4-7) and was accelerated to second grade in primary school. His middle school years were also outstanding, graduating top of his class in each year. Because he was obviously talented when he was in his final months of seventh grade, he was accelerated to ninth grade, i.e. primary school.

Adolescence
He graduated at age 18, two years before the average graduation age. He moved out at age 20, which was standard in Centurian culture. He met his future wife, Ramar, at age 21. Pouna originally worked for a Centuria-based division of the Dercivi Megacorporation. He made approximately five-hundred Cuplan pounds yearly (enough money to sustain both himself and his significant other). At age 28, Pouna left the Dercivi Megacorporation and began freelancing and self-employing. Finally, at age 30, he came across Starfleet and joined it.
