Is a Vulcan who was born on Formhauldt Nakrat, the son of Sakal and Telek. His siblings are T'alen who currently is married and resides on Vulcan and Skashe who was stationed on Edmun 2. Skashe was listed as KIA at that remote Alpha Quadrant base on stardate 2406.11.03. 

Saleke and his siblings traveled with his mother and father while they were stationed on the Vulcan Scientific Research Ship Nahru and became intensely curious of the sciences himself, especially geology. He carries a number of mineral samples taken from the Nahru's stores, his most valuable being a brilliant blue Anelurian crystal which has many similarities to a dilithium crystal though not as efficient at storing and releasing energy. This crystalline form of mineral was later examined by scientist and subspace expert Dr. Holis Gralen and found to be a natural conduit for the shunting of energy into subspace opening exciting future avenues of cloaking technology


Saleke graduated from the Vulcan Academy of Arts and Sciences with honors and enrolled in StarFleet Academy where he majored in the sciences and studied military tactics. He has an extremely agile mind and quickly absorbed what the Academy offered and unexpectedly found his first commission aboard the [[ USS Nimitz ]] to be that of CSO on stardate 2406.06.20. During his time on the Nimitz he was promoted to Lt.(jg) on stardate 2406.10.02 along with joining the command crew of the ship as third officer. Also while on the Nimitz he participated in one battle, that with the Archimedes and the Alamo when the Nimitz destroyed the Defiant class vessel commanded by Henre LaBeau and his Klingon FO, Commander Galk. He was on the away team that boarded and took control of the USS Archimedes, an anti-matter trawler as interimn FO of the vessel. These actions were taken to acquire necessary anti-matter fuel for the 52nd Fleet during the civil war.  


A further promotion came later to Lt. Commander along with a transfer to the [[ USS Mystique ]] where he became the First Officer, unflappable the Vulcan was promoted to full Commander on stardate 2406.11.15 while commanding an expedition. During his time on the Mystique Saleke participated in several missions including the liberation of Beta Kelindra 5 which he commanded and the scientific survey of Malcolm's Star. Due to Captain Winters long term incapacitation Saleke was promoted to Captain and CO of the Mystique on stardate 2407.02.05. Orders were received to transfer his crew and command from the Mystique to the new Prometheus class starship [[ USS Hades ]] on stardate 2407.02.18. Scheduled launch of the Hades was stardate 2407.02.30.  The launch of the new ship was pushed back to 2407.03.10 due to technical problems related to the newly installed TIHS system and changes to the cloaking system which allow the saucer section to use the type IV cloak when in 3/V mode. 


[[Beta Seranis III]] was reached on 2407.03.17 and 3 full days was spent surveying the planet, the [[Hyrangu]] [[Megselif]] was discovered along with clues to the former [[Myenru]] colony that had inhabited the planet up to 2 years before. Upon leaving the planet the ship was met by a Myenru warfleet and fired upon by the command ship Dreadmonger. Though the improved [[Genesis Device]] was destroyed it inflicted substantial damage to the ship and changed a few of the crew who were tended to after the battle. After undergoing repairs within an asteroid belt between the fourth and fifth planets the Hades emerged in 3/V mode and attacked the Myenru fleet.  After successfully defeating them the Hades resumed its survey mission then returned to Starbase Geneva to finalize repairs and replenish stores. 


Over the course of the next several months the Hades was sent on a number of "milk run" missions by command, it was just prior to the final fleet assault on the Sol system when Captain Saleke learned why, he had been chosen to command what would qualify as a "suicide mission" to take down a number of supply and early warning outposts that were strategically placed along the route the 52nd Fleet would use in an invasion. The USS Poseidon, a [[Norway Class]] cruiser was given him to command and the ship and crew performed valiantly during the operation, all objectives were reached. During the extraction however the ship was heavily damaged and broke up soon after, all hands were lost during the operation save the Captain himself who's lifeboat was marooned on an unnamed planetoid near the Canopius system which has since been classified as Alpha Serapsis 149. 


On Stardate 2408.01.03 Saleke completed cobbling together a low powered transmitter from the mangled remains of the craft and his signal was intercepted three days later by a [[Bajoran]] Free Trade vessel that was passing near the system. Saleke was taken aboard the Mesipal which later that evening rendezvoused with the [[Galaxy Class]] USS Potomac and was delivered to Starbase Geneva for convalescent leave to recover from a variety of afflictions gleaned from the nearly barren planetoid.  He has studied a form of ancient Vulcan martial arts since being transferred to the [[USS Mystique]] called Ka'Fi'Ra and is becoming quite proficient. He is a natural leader, highly disciplined and logical.


Captain Saleke was removed from medical leave on 2408.07.23 and immediately sent for by Vice-Admiral Heatherby and arrived on Terra at [[Starfleet Command]] Headquarters six days later. On 2408.07.29 he was given command of the [[USS Furious]], a [[Prometheus Class]] warship which had seen extensive action during the war and  had been undergoing refit. The ship was launched from [[Utopia Planitia]] mere hours later.


The USS Furious received a distress from the [[Bardon Alpha]] mining colony on 2408.08.02 implicating the [[USS Rosenante]] in the attack and arrived at the system five hours later to find the Rosenante in orbit. During an exchange of communications Captain Salid claimed Captain Saleke was complicit in an effort to frame the Rosenante and in the battle that ensued the Rosenante was heavily damaged and hid in "The Mill", an asteroid field in the system while the Furious followed a spiral warp trail to [[Hexikor Prime]], a colony system of the [[Bynars]].

 
The Furious arrived on 2408.08.07 to find both Hexikor Prime and Hexikor Alpha damaged and sensitive components stolen from the facilities there. A subsequent investigation exonerated the USS Rosenante of charges in the attacks on Bardon Alpha and Hexikor Alpha and a preliminary suspect in the conspiracy noted by Captain Salid was identified. The Rosenante upon arriving in the system disabled the Furious and Captain Saleke upon returning to the ship afterward transported to the Rosenante where he and Captain Salid exchanged information. The Furious is being towed by the Rosenante to the [[Kabor Prime|Kabor System]] which is the next target of the marauder while undergoing repairs. The marauder has tentatively been identified as a [[Mirror Universe]] counterpart to our own USS Rosenante and is attempting to manufacture an Omega Device.
