Idan Sal

Idan Sal is the Betazoid head of tactical at Starfleet Command.

Early Life
Born in 2409 on Betazed to Kidun and Rina Sal, he grew up fascinated with the stars and always wanted to go out and see them. As a result of this fascination, when he was 11 he stowed away on a freighter for two weeks as it went round its usual routes, past the binary stars at Vulcan, through the briar patch nebula and even going as far as Mol'Rihan before the ship started its route again. When he returned to Betazed his parents became too protective of him, forbidding him to go into space and encouraging him to go into the family business of.

Starfleet Academy
The fact he wasn't really allowed out of his parent's sight for more than half an hour made him stressed and he couldn't take any more of it. So in 2427, he wrote a letter to leave for his parents and climbed out of his bedroom window with nothing but a bag of food for the journey.

He was assigned to the USS in 2432
