Born and raised on Cardassian Prime in October 2352 to Ikima and Ralim Karn. At age eighteen he Enlisted with the Cardassian Military but was dishonorably discharged after his Father’s death in 2375. The end of the Dominion War and his Father’s death led him to applying for Starfleet Academy in 2378. He graduated at the rank of Ensign five years later in 2383 and was assigned to the U.S.S. Geiger; an Olympic class Hospital ship. He served aboard the vessel for thirteen years and was promoted to Lieutenant in May of 2388.
In 2396 Lt. Karn was reassigned to the U.S.S. Commonwealth; an Ambassador class, where he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and placed as the ships Chief Science officer after his predecessor retired. The U.S.S. Commonwealth is retired after suffering crippling damage in an engagement with Klingon forces. Newly promoted Commander Karn and was assigned to the U.S.S. Corona; a Luna class, where he acted as 1st Officer. In November 2413 he spends three months stationed on Starbase 39 before he is assigned as the Acting Captain of the U.S.S. Durandal.
Throughout his Career Commander Karn has earned a reputation as a meticulous and thoughtful presence as an Officer. A strict believer in the founding concepts of the Federation and Starfleet who has on several occasions stayed the course in the face of adversity and danger. Karn believes that anytime they are forced to use the weapons of a vessel they have failed in some manner. Curious, and contemplative with a keen scientific mind.
