Tal Joram was born in 2381 on Bajor to former resistance fighters Tal Veron and Tath Umiel . Tal Veron continued his military career after the Occupation as a Field Colonel in the Bajoran Militia, partisipating in the Dominion War (in particularly the battle of Derna) and then as a Commander in Starfleet after the militia was absorbed in 2376. Tal Umiel left the military after the Occupation and devoted her life to peaceful pursuits. His childhood was an average one for Bajor He and his father enjoyed camping trips to different regions on the planet. During one such trip to the Janitza Mountains the shuttle he and his father used to travel there suffered a system failure prior to leaving. He assisted his father repairing the shuttle fostering an interest in engineering. He also developed a keen interest in Springball, and, at the insistance of his mother; took up playing the belaklavion. The older he got the more he thought about service to Bajor after visiting Deep Space 9 with his father, shortly before the elder Tal retired from starfleet. Seeing the miriad of races and cultures on the station he desired to see more of the galaxy. What better way to do so than to serve as a Starfleet officer. His mother wanted him to play the belaklavion professionally but thanks to his father he applied and was accepted to Starfleet academy on his first attempt.

He attended Starfleet Academy from 2399 to 2403 with a Masters degree in Warp Theory with minors in Advanced Robotics and Advanced relativistic mechanics. He was assigned to the USS Pallas in 2403 as an Engineer. He was assigned there for four years, During his time on the Pallas he saw heavy action againsts the Gorn and Klingons. He was promoted to Lt Commander after the Cheif Engineer was killed when an EPS conduit exploded during an an ambush against the Gorn. The Pallas took heavy damage and a warp core breach was iminant, thinking quicky and drawing upon his training he directed the surviving engineers to keep the Warp core from exploding and save the ship. With the casualties from the battle, he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. He served six months as Cheif Engineer when he was offered an executive officer position on the USS Massachusetts under Captain Sulek.

Prior to his assignment to the USS Massachusetts he returned home to Bajor on an extended shore leave. While there he reconnected with a childhood freind, Bymar Sera. Over the few months Tal was on Bajor their relationship blossomed. Shortly before he was to report to the Massachusetts he asked for her hand in marriage. She agreed, and after receiving permission from starfleet she accompanied him to his posting as Executive Officer on the USS Masshusetts.

He was promoted to Commander and transfered to the Soveriegn-Class Cruiser USS Massachusetts(NCC-93159-A) as Executive Officer under Captain Sulek. Once again thrust into battle against the Klingons and Gorn. She saw many days of combat against Klingons culminating in the battle of Starbase 24 where she, along with many other vessels attempted to rescue the scientist from the station and defend it from the Klingon flotilla. Although ultimately successful the Massachusetts was heavily damaged and boarded by Gorn assault troops. Commander Tal led a group of security officers in defense of the ship. They managed to repell the boarders but Tal was wounded. The gorn penetrated as far as the bridge and Joram imposed himelf between Captain Sulek and an attacking Gorn. He killed the Gorn,but suffered 3 deep lacerations from the Gorns talons, he dragged the Captain back behind the lines to a waiting medical officer. Dermal regeneration failed to completely remove the scarring, so he bears the three scars on his left cheek to this day. After the battle Starfleet made the decision to scrap the Sovereign in favor of the new Odyssey-class design. Captain Sulek was promoted to Admiral and because of his bravery and service recommended Tal for Captaincy.

Shortly before the battle of Starbase 24, Tal Sera announced she was pregnant. Despite Jorams insistance that she return to Bajor for her, and the babies safety, she refused. After the battle, and Tals promotion to Captain the couple was sent to Earth to awaite the completion of the Odyssey class cruiser. It was here that she would give birth to their son Joras. Her family was able to attend the birth and the child was welcomed into the world as all Bajoran children are.

Though many other officers initially resented being commanded by someone not yet in their 30's he has proven himself time and time again gaining the respect and admiration of those under his command

In 2413 Captain Tal and a select grouping of officers were reassigned to the USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. an Armitage-Class heavy escort carrier.

The USS MASSACHUSETTS has a long and storied history dating back to the second Terran World War. BB-59, was the first US warship to fire her guns in anger after Pearl Harbor as part of Operation Torch in the Mediterranian Sea. 338 years later, in 2290 she would be recommissioned as an Excelsior-class (refit) Cruiser in Starfleet. She would serve with distinction for 77 years mainly involved in exploration and science. She would be destroyed with all hands lost during the battle of Wolf 359. She would be recommissioned in 2370 as one of the new Sovereign-Class Cruisers. The Massachusetts A would focus this time, more on a military and diplomatic mission serving until 2409 when she was boarded by Gorn assualt troops and almost destroyed during the battle of starbase 24. Rather than allocate resources to repair the 39 year old vessel, the decision was made to put the materials and system in to new ships being built. The Massachusetts B would be one of the new Odyssey-class star cruisers currently in production.

History

South Dakota class Fast battleship BB-59 1941-1947
Excelsior class Cruiser NCC93159 2280-2367
Sovereign-class Assault cruiser NCC93159-A 2370-2409
Odyssey-Class cruiser NCC93159-B 2409

From the commissioning plaque on the bridge of the USS Massachusetts
