Personal Biography

Rahn Hashad was born in the city of Bandar-e Emam Khomeyni, Iran. He was an only child of wealthy parents, growing up in a large estate that fronted the Persian Gulf. Hashad's family had once, long ago, been involved in the production of oil, but when the tides turned and renewable energy became the way to go, Rahn's ancestors were pioneers in the field. Rahn loved looking at the pictures of the old days, row after row of wind turbines dotting the sands.

Hashad's family was not happy when their only child spoke of leaving the planet. He had whirl winded his way through school, and had been happily working at an archeological dig near Kerman Zahedan when a friend showed him the latest photos of Vulcan that had been released for public view. He was captivated. After applying at Star Fleet Academy, he was accepted and left immediately for San Francisco.

Xeno-archeology is a vast and varied field, but Rahn wanted to learn it all. He took every course related to it at the Academy in San Francisco, then continued his studies at Jupiter Station. When he had exhausted every course and pursued every bit of information he could scrounge out of the database, after 4 years, he applied for a berth on a starship, to take his knowledge to the source(s).

He was assigned to the NX-04 Challenger as Xeno-Archeologist's Mate and acquitted himself very well at the post. Later, upon reassignment of the Xeno-Archeologist, Rahn was promoted to the position, and has served the ship as Xeno-Archeologist ever since.
