Historical Background:
Barak Cohen was born in the year 2332 to the Cohen family in the Haifa, Israel, Earth. As a child Barak liked to play with his friends in Holo-simulations, where they play the role of starfleet officers who faced the most dangerous adventures in the universe. As Barak grew older, and become 16, he was already determined to apply to Starfleet. After he graduated from school in the year 2350, Barak failed twice in applying to Starfleet Academy. He gave up on the idea after 3 months, and decided to join Mars Militia.
On Mars he met his future wife, Ravit Elford. After three months they married, and a year after they gave birth to their son, Levi. In 2352, in a terrible shuttle accident, Barak lost his wife. He stayed on Mars for two more months, until he found out that he didn’t have anything else to look for in Mars, and decided to apply again to Starfleet Academy, and succeeded. But his studies cost him a lot, and Barak knew that there is no place for a kid like Levi in the Academy, and that the best for him would be to send him to his family on earth so he would be able to grow up in natural environment with children in his age, and to visit him when it was possible. 4 years later, after he graduate he took back his son and been posted on the USS Intrepid, where he served for 3 years as an operation officer. One year after his promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade, Barak was transferred to the USS Hood as a strategic operation officer. In the year 2364,      while being in an away team which was beamed down to the planet Orodia III to determine its strategic importance, an accident occurred on the planet when a earth quake took the life of the entire party except Barak and Captain Macmoy. For the next 3 days, Barak, who was injured himself, fought on the life of his Captain, who was badly wounded. After 3 days on the planet, Barak succeeded to establish communication again with the Hood and to beam him and the Captain back to the ship, and by that to save his life. For this Barak was honored with the "Star of bravery" - the highest ranked medal for bravery, and since the chief of strategic operation officer, the late  Lieutenant Commander Jer was killed during the away mission to Oridia III, Barak was also promoted to Lieutenant Commander and to the new chief of strategic operation of the USS Hood. In 2364, the Federation discovered a new alien race, the Mentolies, which the Federation linked with them in good diplomatic connection. Between the years 2365-2368, Barak was annexed to the diplomatic corpse in Mentolia as Starfleet representative. In the year 2368, Barak was sent back to the academy for advanced command training of two years. This time, he brought his son with him who was 17. After Barak graduated from the command school, he was promoted to the rank of Commander, and was assigned to the USS Independence as the executive officer, while his son applied himself to Starfleet academy and was accepted. In the year 2375 Barak was promoted by Starfleet to the rank of Captain, and achieved command of his own ship, The USS Recon. His son had graduated the academy in 2374 and majored in tactical. He was posted to the USS Britain as tactical officer, and achieved the rank of Ensign.
