Career History
Allen entered Starfleet Academy in 2368, where he completed his first two
years, focusing his classes to be on track to graduate into a security
position. He was counseled against such a move however, all the opinions
being that he should finish his basic training first, then move on to his
specializations. Allen would have none of it and excelled in the advanced
classes. He suddenly left the Academy, totally without warning. He returned
three years later just as suddenly and was forced to take another three years
in the Academy, much to his chagrin, due to a shift of majors. He, without
reason given, shifted his major to Warp Field Theory and would hear nobody's
attempts to change his mind. He graduated with honors.
He served a short stint with the beta crew of the USS Defiant out of Deep
Space 9, and served as that shift's executive and tactical officers,
apparently due to the request of beta shift's commanding officer. Once word
reached the DS9 command that he graduated as an engineer, he was removed from
his Tactical post and transferred to the USS Atlantis as an assistant
engineer, where he served until he requested a transfer to Starbase 4.
On Starbase 4 he was given an engineering slot, however proved himself
valiantly as a tactical officer. For an undisclosed reason, he requested and
was granted a transfer soon after the incident that damaged Starbase 4 back
to the Atlantis.
Personal Information
Allen was orphaned at a young age, and bounced around various orphanages,
always citied as a troublemaker. In truth, he was not a troublemaker, but
quite the opposite. Whenever the smaller children were picked on, he stood up
for them. He was usually larger than the bullies and more often than not they
backed off.
Starfleet instituted a program designed to cultivate all the talent possible
for their growing starship crews, and began recruiting the less fortunate.
The reasoning was that it may help them get out of bad circumstances and
would help provide extra crewmen. Allen was selected out of the handful of
people who were chosen from his area to attend the Starfleet Academy and
become an officer.
One of the people who was helping to conduct the testing was Hendrik Bryan,
heir to the Bryan cartels- a large, multi-world corporation responsible for
the settling of multiple planets. With him was Ann Bryan, his sister, and an
aspiring pilot. Allen and Ann hit it off very well and, though being from
very different worlds, were married a year and a half later.
Allen took the opportunity to improve himself very seriously, and threw
himself into his training, doing well in almost every class. He left after
two years and returned three years later. He brought with him the disturbing
news that Ann had perished. The exact nature and location of her death have
not been disclosed. Allen now pushed himself harder than ever. He became more
reflective and was very hard on himself. He didn't allow for the slightest
error, and was highly disappointed when he did not graduate at the top of his
class.
