Childhood
Fala Taban grew up in post-Emissary Bajor. His father was killed when he was young and he was raised by his grandmother. His scientific spirit was fueled during many explorations of the mountains in Hill Province, where he grew up. This curiosity would often get him in trouble with his grandmother who was a devout follower of the Prophets and always talked about the return of the Emissary. She would often tell him of stories of how the Emissary saved Bajor. Because of his interest in science, Taban decided to leave Bajor and join Starfleet Academy.
Starfleet Academy
Fala Taban graduated the Academy with honors. His final project being a historical study of the wormhole aliens that his people called the Prophets. He gathered all the data which had been taken previously and was actually able to go on a starship with one of his professors to study the wormhole in person. Though dormant since the time of the Emissary, he could tell that there was a change in the sub-space filaments inside the wormhole. He speculated that the Prophets were slowly building up energy. To what end, he had no idea, but gave many theories including one which was, to his grandmother's delight, the return of the Emissary.
During his time at the Academy, he befriended two humans: Christopher Adams and Tom Stratton. They became good friends and all graduated at the same time. They enjoyed a drink at the 602 Club before heading out on their assignments post graduation.
USS Paladin
Fala Taban was able to convince an Admiral that he was sympathetic to the causes of Admiral LoDona and he was assigned to the same ship as his friend Christopher Adams. He works in Stellar Cartography as one of the senior star charters. He has been pretty bored with his job since coming on board because there hasn't been much exploring going on during the Civil War.
