Background
Robin Brown is the daughter of geologists working for a consortium on Deneva, partners of Samuel Kirk. She and her family were on a month-long camping trip during the 2267 alien takeover of the colony, gaining notoriety as some of the few survivors who were never affected by the parasites; they only became aware that something was going on when the family flitter reported a massive UV wave. After the incident, Peter Kirk lived with the Browns while he finished his schooling - Robin always saw him as her "other big brother."

General Description: Tall and thin, Sorak has a very professional appearance. He keeps his hair trimmed in the standard Vulcan style and his uniform is surprisingly immaculate, given his profession.

Personality: Sorak seems to be the archetypal Vulcan at first glance, but as one gets to know him, they see that he is somewhat more in touch with his emotions than the average Vulcan. He will occasionally make a joke or crack a subdued smile, but all within the framework of his logical approach to the world. He values his privacy as much as any other Vulcan, but can also be social with those he has come to know well.

Background: Sorak comes from a long line of officers and investigators in the V'Kor, Vulcan's police force, but at an early age his skills in the sciences set him apart from the rest of his family. Logically, they sponsored his application and applauded his acceptance to the Vulcan Science Academy at age 18 in 2260. While attending the Academy, Sorak was introduced to the Way of Jarok (Tu-Jarok) by one of his professors and began the quest to understand and integrate emotions in moderation into the logical lifestyle of a Vulcan scientist.

Following his graduation from the VSA in 2264, Sorak took a position in theoretical physics research, where he worked for 12 years. He found the experience intellectually fulfilling, but something was missing. It wasn't until the return of the USS Enterprise from her historic five-year mission under Kirk that Sorak began considering the satisfaction that could result from applying his physics knowledge in a practical, as opposed to theoretical, manner. By 2276, he had joined Starfleet as part of the fast-track officer training program leading up to the expansion of Starfleet's exploratory efforts in the early 2280s.

Sorak's first assignment was almost literally trial by fire when he was assigned as an engineering officer to the USS Pendragon, a destroyer patrolling along the Klingon border. By the end of his six-year assignment in 2282, Sorak had proven his worth as an engineer, been promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade, and improved his skills in the use of the Vulcan nerve pinch.

His next assignment was to the USS Saratoga, a Miranda-class cruiser on an exploration mission. In 2284, Sorak was promoted to Lieutenant and Chief Engineer of the starship. He served aboard the Saratoga during the Probe Incursion of 2286 and found a new emotional experience in the frustration that resulted from being rendered helpless and adrift by the probe.

Soon after returning to starbase, Sorak was reassigned to the Drake as Chief Engineer. A post he was proud to accept. He served on the Drake until her decommissioning and had, by that time, been promoted to both First Officer and Chief Engineer. Positions he continued aboard the ship's successor, a Constellation-class cruiser, along with a promotion to full Commander.

Following the Drake's visit to Vulcan in 2289, in which the crew was instrumental in thwarting an attempt on his father's life, Sorak accepted a transfer to 40 Eridani Shipyards as Captain of Engineering.
