Personal History		Alexander Artopolis was born on the fringes of Federation space on a colony world so young that it still had an alphanumeric designation when it was overrun by the Borg in the invasion of 2381. At the age of thirteen, he witnessed his parents’ deaths, as well as the entire planet being glassed around him. Not normally known for wasting resources, the Borg’s extreme prejudice attack on a strategically worthless world was later classified as an anomalous wartime behavior that couldn’t be explained. Years of therapy and soul-searching went by before Alex finally reached the age of eighteen and joined Starfleet. With the Borg long gone, he had no available path to revenge, choosing instead to focus on a more positive path. He wanted to help others. He wanted to stop them from dying- to keep what happened to him from ever happening to anyone else. Alexander Artopolis would become a doctor.
