BIOGRAPHICAL HIGHLIGHTS
Born to his parents on Bolarus IX Rixx’s early life, as with most people, was defined by his parent’s aspirations for him and their occupation. They were all professors at the Bolian Academy of Applied Sciences, an intensive and profoundly respected institution especially for starship engineering and design, and so his earliest memories are of attending the lectures of his parents in warp core theory and design or shield emitter and field theory and application, and a hundred other topics besides. They were exceptionally talented and gifted individuals, Rixx felt the pressure to excel, but he always lacked the natural talent of his parents.
Though Rixx was a capable student, consistently in the top ten or fifteen percent of his classes throughout primary and secondary education, he still felt he didn’t measure up to his parent’s expectations. As such he applied himself with a dedication that would put a Vulcan to shame always, and often seemed a little anti-social (for a Bolian) as a result. It wouldn’t be until after graduating and then enrolling at the Bolian Academy of Applied Sciences in Starship Engineering and Design that he found himself finding a sense of independence and purpose. He found a close circle of friends and they inspired and affirmed each other in all their undertakings, his grades began to improve as well with his new found comradeship, but despite this he left after just one semester at the academy. His parents were shocked and worried, was he going to become a barber? Rixx told them he had only ever wanted one thing, it was something he had studied and read about in almost secret, that had filled his daydreams: Starfleet.
Rixx’s parents were not cruel or callous even if they were unaware of the pressure they had placed upon him growing up faced with their son as a young adult with an aspiration of his own they did nothing but encourage him. And so Rixx enrolled in the Command Course minoring in Diplomacy, Archaeology, & Starship design. He applied himself with all his usual rigour and dedication, but with a newfound purpose and excitement that he had never had before. He found fast friends again, and was elated at the course he had charted for himself. Rixx would graduate summa cum laude and was assigned as an ensign to the Sciences department aboard an aging Nova class. The hopes of a life of discovery and exploration were quickly brought down to earth, so to speak, with the realities of war with the Klingon Empire necessitating that the USS Cavatha was more often deployed as a scout vessel for Federation battlegroups.
The USS Cavatha would be a brief but formative tour of duty for the young Ensign Rixx, not only as it was here he would be promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade for exceptional service during an essential scouting mission; but more importantly he rediscovered a love of starships that his parent’s professions and the pressure that had driven him towards the Bolian Academy of Applied Sciences had at first taken from him. The noise of the ship, the movements, the nature of life aboard a ship, all of it he wondered and lived for again. He spent free time reading about the Nova-class, about Starfleet ship design, talking to the engineers, it was a joy again. And the days spent aboard the Cavatha would remain a fond one for as long as he could recall them.
Rixx’s promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade did, however, also brought with it a transfer to the USS Avander, a Discovery-class cruiser. Once again hopes that he might finally “go boldly” where not to be as even the Avander found work in the ongoing wars, amongst threats mundane and exotic. Cited for bravery several times, and in the year before the cessation of open hostilities between the Federation and Klingon Empire was awarded the Star Cross after he assumed command during an away team mission after the death of Chief Science Officer. Alongside this new medal came his promotion to full Lieutenant and his promotion to Chief Science Officer for the Avander.
With the ceasefire Rixx thought that maybe at last he would be able to see the Avander undertake its true purpose of exploration and discovery. However, fate as is so often the case had other plans and as such while undergoing repairs and refit at Earth Spacedock the Iconian attack on Sol was launched. The Avander scrambled to respond, and acquitted itself ably and well but it was no match and a horrific fate was the only thing that could await it - during the heat of the battle the primary bridge of the Avander was completely destroyed, and along with it the entire command staff except for Rixx who had been in a turbolift. Heading to the secondary bridge Rixx assumed command and for the final moments of the battle managed to keep the Avander not only together but able to assist as well - he focused the ship on collecting and rescuing as many personnel from destroyed or soon to be destroyed ships. The battle would haunt him as it seemed the tantamount rejection of the dream which had taken him to Starfleet in the first place, thoughts that would remain as he had the Christopher Pike Medal of Valour pinned onto his chest.
Alongside the medal Rixx would also earn a promotion to Lieutenant Commander, and after spending the following year in recovery he found himself assigned to Earth Spacedock. He spent most of the time assessing and assisting the discoveries of others, and longing to once again find himself amongst the stars on that noble mission of Starfleet that despite it all he still believed in. After several years eventually he would find himself promoted to commander and assigned to a Nova-class, the USS Rasara, and after refit and resupply the ship was ready for her first mission. Rixx and the Rasara were assigned to the 38th Fleet, and he looked forward to once again do the work which had brought him to Starfleet - discovery, the advocacy of peace, and now with an awareness of the costs such a vision might incur, but still absolutely unshakable in his belief.
