History
| Personal History | Markum was born in 2333 on the Mars Colony. Markum's father was a renowned civilian engineer. Markum spent very little time at one place, since he and his mother would only stay as long as it would take for his father's next job would come about. He has traveled all across the Federation with his family. He attended the Andorian University of Structural Engineering at age 18. Upon graduation four years later, he went to work in the family Engineering firm. For two years he worked within his father's civil engineering firm, but something was missing. He felt it every time he looked upon the night sky and gazed at the stars Markum decided he wanted to see the galaxy, so in 2357, and against his family wishes, he enlisted in Starfleet. He could of tried to wait for the next registration for Starfleet Academy, and enjoyed a nice commission since he had already acquired a Bachelor's Degree, and part-way through his Master's. Markum wasn't willing to wait. He wanted to join now, not later. |
Service Record
| Service Record | Markum took the Starfleet Aptitude and Placement Examination (SAPE) and scored exceptionally high in the analytical and mathematical sections. He was approved for the engineering operational status. After boot camp he was wished away to his advanced training in engineering, then upon completion sent to the USS Constellation as a Structural/Environmental Systems Specialist. Markum spent four years on the Constellation, and found out how much he loved ship-life. So much that he extended his time, and was transferred to the USS Galaxy. There he changed specialty to Holographic Systems Specialist, then to Warp Systems Specialist. Markum loved the ship, but after nine years, he was happy when his transfer was approved to the USS da Vinci so he could join the Starfleet Corps of Engineers team. For three years he traveled to some of the worst places, attempting to rebuild worlds during the conflicts with the Cardassians, which lead to the Dominion War. 2373 Quinn transferred to the USS Thor, a new Defiant-Class vessel commissioned in response to the Dominion War. Quinn was awarded a medal for original thinking for saving his ship and crew from certain destruction while traversing the Wormhole out of the Gamma Quadrant. 2377 Quinn was granted his first Warrant and transferred to Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco, to assist with the newly organized Xenotechnology Research Division (XRD). The majority of the information about what was researched within the XRD is highly classified. Quinn loved the opportunity to work with new technologies, especially when they involved starship drives and propulsion units. After 5 years he was promoted and was offered a position of Assistant Chief Engineer aboard the newly commissioned USS Quirinal. For six years he served faithfully, while in deep-space exploration. It was exciting, with every destination a new adventure in itself. This was why he left the family business for Starfleet. The freedom. Quinn was promoted to Senior Chief Warrant during the return trip home, and was made acting Chief Engineer until they returned back to Earth. After returning home Quinn took a 2 month leave to reevaluate his desire to return to service. The question lasted a whole minute. While giving his family a tour of Starbase Earth, he was approached and was offered the Chief Engineer Position on the newly commissioned USS Valiant. He accepted and held the position for nine months until the vessel was unexpectedly decommissioned due to the CO's unforeseen resignation. Quinn has had his transfer request to the USS Galileo approved, the newest Nova-Class at that time. After the completion of the first mission, Markum lost his right arm which was replaced with a cybernetic implant. Markum holds a Doctorate in Advanced Quantum Warp Dynamics which received from Cambridge University. Markum moved to his family ranch in Utah and commuted to Starfleet Academy as a professor, teaching two different classes. Those classes were Warp Core Dynamics and Advanced LCARS Repair and Operation. Markum enjoyed teaching and would on occasion be asked to consult on upcoming warp core and system operation refits of some of the older ships and starbases. He also enjoyed being near his son who recently completed his training with Starfleet Medical. After his son took a position on Starbase One, Markum began to itch for something more than just teaching. He wanted to be back out there, with deck plating under his feet and the stars out his window. Markum has found a new assignment on Langley Station, and is eager to share his knowledge and experiences. 2357 - Enters Starfleet Basic Training - Eng Spec. 2357- Advanced Enlisted Engineering Training- Crewman 2nd Class 2357 - USS Constellation (Constellation-Class) Assigned as an Engineering Specialist. 2359: Promoted-Crewman 1st Class-Structural / Environmental Systems Specialist 2361 -USS Galaxy (Galaxy-Class) 2361: Transferred- Structural/Environmental Systems Specialist 2362:Promoted- P.O. 3rd Class-Holographic Systems Specialist 2367:Promoted- P.O. 2nd Class-Warp Systems Specialist 2370 Transferred- Starfleet Corps of Engineers 2371:Promoted P.O. 1st Class-SCE 2373- USS Thor (Defiant-Class) Transferred- Cloaking Systems Specialist 2375:Promoted- Chief Petty Officer Engineer's Mate 2376- Completed Master's Degree in Propulsion Dynamics 2377:Promoted- Warrant Officer 2377- Starfleet HQ San Francisco Transferred- Xenotechnology Research Division 2382:Promoted- CWO 2382- USS Quirinal (Vesta-Class) Transferred- Asst.
