Personal History
Wil Thoms grew up in the Caldos colony, a Federation colony and was one of the first terraforming project colonies, dating back to the 23rd century. The Caldos system, Beta Octantis, is located in the Beta Quadrant.

It was a family tradition to visit the Icarus IV Spaceport, via the Ingraham B Transit Station by commercial transport, to watch the Icarus IV comet pass by its closest approach to Gamma Hydrae.

Growing up on a terraformed planet, Thoms applied to a geo-terraforming starship, the USS Strata, after graduating from the Academy.

Family
Father: Mike Thoms, retired security chief of the Caldos colony and Deep Space 6.

Mother: Lynn Thoms, retired planetary law enforcement officer of Caldos colony.

Wil Thoms’ family lineage traces back to the founders of Caldos, on both sides, who wanted to make the colony an accurate replica of Scotland on Earth.

Resembling the Scottish Highlands of Earth, the inhabitants take great pride in their Scottish heritage, preserving the Scots language.

Thoms’ family helped bring cornerstones of buildings from different towns and cities in Scotland before the 2270s and helped install the weather control system. The architecture and dress of the residents resembled that of Scotland.

Wil Thoms grew up with other alien species, such as Zakdorn, not only humans. Thoms’ Zakdorn childhood friends began his interest in tactical and game strategies.

Medical Record
Recovering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Survivor’s Syndrome after surviving the Federation-Cardassian Wars, the Galen Border Conflict, and the Dominion War.
