As Zhuk was approaching Starbase Conqueror, aboard one of the numerous fleet shuttles zipping through space, he was deep in thought of how his life was about to change...again.
Zhuk had already once started a military career in the Andorian Imperial Guard. He majored in Tactics and Troop Command in the Andorian Military Academy. After graduating 23rd out of 500 he was promoted to the rank of Tolk (Leiutenant), and given command of a platoon. During his 8 years of service he had worked his way up to Eir Tolk (Commander) in charge of a full company.
During this time of service, the realization came that the Imperial Guard was too busy policing it's own planet. Providing relief services after natural disasters, acting as peace keeping troops between fighting clans, or even acting as riot control troops during major elections, etc.
Zhuk had hopeful visions of serving the Imperial Guard out in space, but it had never come to fruition. He resigned his comission and tried his luck at being a merchant. He was actually good at it. After two years, he had become Prime Merchant (CEO) of his international trading company. Even so, two things were missing. He was not in space (becoming an interstellar merchant was taking too long for him), and he actually missed the cammeraderie he had in the Imperial Guard with his fellow soldiers.
Then it came to him, 'Join Starfleet'. He would be in space and hopefully regain what he was also missing from having been in a military unit.
The fleet shuttle intercome came to life, "We have safely landed at the academy campus docking bay! Hope your trip was a pleasant one. To those of you that are new recruits to the Academy...Good Luck and welcome to Starfleet!"
Zhukarak Hrisvalar stepped off the shuttle and reported directly to the Academy Campus, ready to start on a new adventure.
