Personal History

Eryv ch’Azaarhir, known as Zaar, is an Andorian Chan. He was born into a loving family bondgroup. His parents all had an engineering background, which meant Zaar was tinkering with stuff from a young age. Only one was a Starfleet Officer, two had civilian Engineering jobs on or above the Andorian homeworld and one was the Federation Councilor for Andoria. All passed on their skills as well their love and affection to Zaar over his youth. He enjoyed spending time with each and everyone of them and continues to have a close relationship with them.

During his schooling, Zaar became fascinated which ship design and warp technologies. This pushed him towards Starfleet and to follow in his one of his fathers footsteps with hopes of becoming a starship designer.

In his late teen’s he joined his own bondgroup, they tried many times to conceive a baby and eventually did. He has a 15 year old daughter, but due to his position in Starfleet and differences in the way she wants to live her life, they haven’t spoken for a few years but still gets regular updates from his other bondgroup.

Service History

At the age of 18, he said goodbye to his parents and his own bondgroup, and headed off to San Francisco to join Starfleet academy. After completing basic training, Zaar transferred to Starfleet Corps of Engineers to start his Engineering training. He excelled at warp theory and astrophysic’s, as well as taking on extra curricular studies of martial arts, away team tactics, basic first aid and exobiology.

After completing his Engineering course, Zaar was assigned to the USS Walker, the first Walker class to enter service several decades earlier. She was an old but sturdy ship. While aboard the Walker, Zaar was taken under the wing by the Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Stanley Brooks.

In 2354, the USS Walker was retired from service. Brooks, now a Lieutenant Commander, spoke to his new Commanding Officer aboard the Shran and asked for Ensign Zaar to be assigned to his Engineering team. The request was granted a long with a promotion to Lieutenant JG. Two years later, after a skirmish with Nausicaan pirates, the assistant chief engineer was killed. Commander Brooks promoted Zaar to the assistant Chief position with a promotion to full Lieutenant.

A few years later, Starfleet commissioned the USS Yeager and offered Zaar the Chief Engineer position. Honoured, he gladly accepted. To get his hands on Starfleet’s newest Starship was a dream come true. Five years after Yeager left spacedock, she was back for a minor refit after spending the first Friday be years of her life exploring the fringe’s of known space. Her Captain retired and was replaced by Captain Stanley Brooks. The Andorian was pleased to be working with his old friend and mentor again. Before they left space dock again, Zaar was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and made the Yeager’s Second Officer.

Zaar enjoyed the new challenges that command brought but was eager to learn and had a fine teacher on Captain Brooks. However, in 2369, the Yeager was attacked in a misunderstanding by a Cardassian Keldon Class warship. The Yeager was left for dead and allowed to drift in space. The USS Sapphire came to the Yeager’s aid, their first officer Commander Sholorn was one of the first onto the Yeagers bridge and rescued the survivors.

A few months later, newly promoted Captain Sholorn, the Tellarite responsible for rescuing Zaar and some of the Yeager crew, approached Zaar about becoming his first officer on the newly commissioned USS Mercury. Honoured, Zaar agreed and was promoted to the rank of Commander and took up his new position as Mercury’s first officer.


Not long after taking his new position, Zaar was seriously injured leaving him in a coma for several months.

It took him just over a year to recover from his injuries and return to duty. By then the war with the Klingons was over and the rebuilding effort had begun.

He was assigned to Earth Spacedock and began working with the ship design team. He worked on several class ideas over the course of a couple of years working at Earth Spacedock. But he started to long for space travel again so requested a transfer and was assigned at First Officer of the Bradbury.

After 4 years Starfleet promoted Zaar to Captain and have him command of the USS Halifax. He was assigned to patrol the Romulan neutral zone.

When his tour on the Halifax had finished and she was in for a refit, Starfleet transferred the crew to the USS Namur, a newly built Sovereign Class vessel.

Three years later Admiral Morgan offered Zaar the chance of a lifetime and made him Twelfth Fleet Executive Officer and promoted him to Commodore.

During his time as the Executive Officer of Twelfth Fleet, he was able to begin meeting more diplomats and Ambassadors. This greatly interested him as it brought back memories of when Kyr th'Thianneth, his Thaan paternal parent, served as the Federation Councilor for Andoria.

When the position for Federation Councilor for Andoria came up, Zaar thought he’d apply not expecting to get the job but to his surprise he was selected. This meant him retiring from active service with Starfleet to take up his new role.
