== History ==

=== Early Life ===

Robert Verhoven was born in the region of Earth known has Germany sometime in 2327. His father was a strict taskmaster who made young Robert work hard and apply himself in everything he did. His parents were both anti-military, and often spoke baddly of Starfleet. Robert decided he wanted to be an Engineer, and thought about joining Starfleet, however, his parents were heavily against it, and he insteaded decided to go the civillian route and went to the California Institute of Technology. 

=== California Institute of Technology ===

Verhoven went to California Institute of Technology (commonly called CalTech). He was there a total of 6 years, and got a Master's degree in Warp Engineering. During this time, he began to dream up various interesting and new styles of faster-than-light travel. He hoped to be hired by a big civillian starship company, however that wasn't the case.

=== Freelance Engineering Work ===

Verhoven began working has Chief Engineer on various cargo vessels, usually for one or two cargo runs before he would leave and then get picked up by another ship. He made his rounds aronud the Alpha and Beta quadrant, however, unlike other cargo runners, he didn't have a taste for heavy drinking or fast women. He realized this wasn't the life for him and he decided to attend the Daystrom Insitute.

=== Daystrom Institute of Technology  ===

Verhoven arrived at the Daystrom Institute of Technology and began working towards his Doctorate in Warp Engineering. During this time he worked has an assoicate professor for undergraduate classes. Finally, he finished his work and became Dr. Verhoven, however he often didn't use that title. He was hired has a warp design specialist and moved to Alpha Centauri.

=== Alpha Centauri Luxury Shuttles ===

Robert went to work for Alpha Centarui Luxury Shuttles, or ACLS, a for-profit company that makes high-end luxury shuttles for civillians. The weathly company allowed Robert to start work on a new faster-than-light alternative to warp travel, in return for overseeing the refit of older shuttles' warp drives. He was enjoying himself and worked here for a number of years, however, the company was bought by a Ferengi conglomerate. The Ferengi brass, not seeing the point of pursuing alternatives to warp travel, closed down Verhoven's lab. He continued his job overhauling older shuttles, but when ACLS refitted the shuttle of a former Starfleet Commodore (who was the Commandant of Starfleet Academy), Verhoven and the man started talking. The man called some of his connections, and offered Robert a chance to become Professor Verhoven.
