He went to Starfleet Academy and mastered in science, he also took minimal command school training.

After four years at the Academy, he was ready for a bit of real adventure, he chose to work aboard the Barkari station as it orbited a planet of which new life had been discovered, who only lived for one day, starting a new life at sunrise they would deform back into an egg when the sun went down. It was while they were very close to the answer that war broke out with the Klingons, when a Founder impersonated Chancellor Gawron. Starfleet decided it was too risky keeping the project going so close to the border and also decided that this science outpost would be upgraded into a starbase and that sentries would be placed along the border to warn them of any attack. It was on the day that two sovereign class starships full to the brim with engineers and their equipment arrived that a small but fully capable Klingon Invasion fleet also arrived. An evacuation attempt was made by one of the ships while the other held the enemy fleet off.

It was Midaklin who realised that the habitat ring around the station was made from extra strong titanium and would be too think to beam through, he headed there with a few others instead of to the transporter pad or shuttlebays when the Claxton rang. They found about fifty people and headed to the shuttlebays, just in time to see the first sovereign d estroyed and the second leaving. They boarded runabouts while Klingon shock troops beamed aboard to mop up anybody left. They narrowly escaped as a few of the security and tactical troops stayed valiantly behind to cover their escape. As soon as they were out of range of the station they went to maximum speed deeper into federation space. Nobody pursued them. The klingons were probably too busy celebrating their victory to be monitoring scanners. Midaklin got a medal of honour for doing this and was re-assigned assistant chief science officer aboard the Sanguis at his new rank of Lt. j.g.
