===Mirror Universe Salid===

Ahmed Ibn Salid of the [[Mirror Universe]] is a much different man than the one from our universe. The differences begin early on in his life. 

As a teenager, Ahmed showed a distinct aptitude for [[Engineering]]. His status was that of a child prodigy, and he was actually trained as an engineer in the hopes that he would serve in the Imperial Engineering Corps developing weapons and new technology.  He graduated from his classes with honors and was assigned to the [[ISS Templar]], Where he served as an Assistant Chief Engineer. He quickly began to make his way up the chain through deceit or assassination until he reached the rank of Lieutenant and the position of Chief Engineer.

His career was cut short however, when it was discovered that his Father was involved in the planned assassination of the Empire's [[Klingon]] [[Regent]]. In retaliation, Salid was arrested and shipped to the [[Boronite]] mines on [[Bardon Alpha]]. It was there during his incarceration that he met the future regent [[Admiral Doenitz|Rodrigo Doentiz]]. 

Together the two men worked in the mines until the opportunity arose to escape. When that day came, the two men led a slave revolt against the penal colony's guards. The campaign was swift and brutal, and with the aid of a rebel ship captain, [[Devan Sash]], the two men escaped along with a small cadre of officers, including [[Saleke]], [[Zachary Falthgood]] and [[T'Vhor]]. Later this group would eventually seize control of the leadership of the [[Human|Terran]] Rebellion and later the puppet Government of [[Earth]].

Salid was promoted to Captain of the [[ISS Rosenante]] which became the Flag ship for the newly reformed and reorganized [[Mirror Universe|Imperial Union of Planets]]. His new role put him into direct conflict with several KCA starships, honing his abilities and reputation as an extraordinarily brutal ship commander. His complete dedication and loyalty to Regent Doenitz and the IUP guaranteed his quick rise to a position of power.

In 2408, Ahmed was assigned the task to deploy the [[Omega Device]] against a KCA task force gathering at [[Sunali II]]. The weapon was deployed and it destroyed the enemy ships as well as the traitorous planet, which had defected to the KCA. The [[ISS Rosenante]] was thrown through a dimensional rift into the normal universe.
