Talk:Sonek Pran

Sonek Pran was a Federation citizen of mixed Human, Vulcan and Betazoid heretage.

Pran's parents, Kojo Pran and T'Nallis as well as his maternal granparents, were all associated together with a muscial troupe called the A.C. Walden Medicine Show. Pran's mother went into labor while the troupe was en route to Betazed when their shuttle experienced engine problems, and thus Sonek was born interstellar space.

Growing up with the troupe, Sonek leaned to play the banjo, the harmonica, the zorvat and the ka'athyra, but never had the same passion for music that his family had.

Upon leaving the troupe, Pran obtained his education at various universities representing his entire heritage, getting his undergraduate degree at YloTrap on Betazed, before moving to Earth and Fordham University where he received his masters, and finally finishing his education at the V'Shull Institute on Vulcan.

Sonek's wife was a Starfleet officer who served as transported chief on the USS Sugiahra. He had two children, his daughter Sara Pran, was a musician who followed her grandparents into the A.C. Walden Medicine Show, while Pran and his son had a strained relationship.

Circa the year 2351, Pran wrote a monograph about the Cardassians that caught the attention of Federation President at the time, T'Pragh, who asked Pran to the Palais de la Concorde to discuss it. Pran received a level-twenty security clearance from T'Pragh for his work during the Cardassian war, a clearance that was never recinded.

Pran then served as a regular advisor to the Office of the President for each of the adminisations that followed until the years 2373 and the outbreak of the Dominion War. President at the time Min Zife released Pran from his service as the two never saw eye-to-eye, and Zife very seldom followed Pran's advice.

Notable events during Pran's service to the Federation were a negotiation with Brikar during an incident that convinced them to re-open their orbit*, keeping the Caitian's in the Federation when they wanted out, and talking the Sulamid energy minister into complying with the Edosian Accords.

*Presumably during the brief state of war that existed between the Federation and Brikar in 2357 

Pran sent the next eight years working as a Professor at McKay University on Mars.

In mid-2381, in the months following the Borg invasion, Pran was once again asked to serve the Federation by new president, Nanietta Bacco through her Chief of Staff Esperanza Piñiero.

Piñiero attached Pran to the USS Aventine under the command of Captain Ezri Dax who were providing relief efforts in the post-invasion chaos and was scheduled to travel to Achernar Prime, the capital word of the Imperial Romulan State to negotiate with Empress Donatra about providing aid and relief to Donata's bitter rival, Empress Tal'Aura of the Romulan Star Empire.
