Austin Michael Chang was a half-Human, half-Rigellian Starfleet officer, born on August 22, 2350 in Taynor-Ban-Fal, on Rigel XII.
Although his appearance is mostly Human after his mother, his father was a Rigellian scientist that studied warp field theory, and was in popular demand throughout the Federation. This meant his childhood was filled with moving from one world, to another, never long enough to make real friends.
[edit] Early Life
One such planet was Rigel VII. He also spent a few formative years at the Keernai colony on Chyribdis. Having had a private life up until then, the Keernai's belief that talking in public is extremely rude, and a social taboo, didn't particularly phase him.
To escape the planet-to-planet life, he enlisted in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers, specializing in demolition. After a few years, he joined Starfleet Academy, where he received an Engineering Degree, and trained heavily in the security field. One of the life long friends he met there was Alexander Munro.
[edit] Aboard Voyager
The two would later share the same first assignment, as security officers aboard the USS Voyager. He was chosen for the Hazard Team because of his knowledge of explosives and demolition. He played a large role in the destruction of the Forge's dampening field, and the overall defeat of the Vorsoth. During his time aboard Voyager, he befriended and eventually dated medic Juliet Jurot. (VOY video game: Elite Force) Chang also played a large role in defeating the Borg in time for Voyager to escape through the Borg transwarp hub, even being partially assimilated in the process. Fortunately, he was rescued by Munro, and made it home to the Alpha Quadrant with the rest of the crew.
[edit] Aboard the Enterprise-E
Chang was later reassigned, along with his friends Telsia Murphy and Alex Munro to the USS Enterprise-E. It was there that he reconnected with Jurot. Initially annoyed at her new logical attitude (she had spent more time on Vulcan), they both began to be drawn to one another yet again, and have been seen around the Enterprise in each other's quarters. Chang remains a great friend to Munro, and is one of the most trusted members of the Hazard Team. (TNG video game: Elite Force II)
