History:
Robin Tolendo was born to a human couple in the Capital City of the Trill homeworld, making his background one of the strangest Starfleet has ever encountered. His parents moved from world to world as exobiologists studying evolutionary markers and environmental impacts. They settled on Trill after Robin was born, not wanting to expose him to any of the hostile environments their work might take them to. By permission of the Trill government, Robin was allowed to be raised with the same rights and privileges as a native Trill. Robin fit in well with the local Trill children, and after finishing school, ended up in a position at the Symbiosis Commission. The work that he did there is still unknown to Starfleet. It is also unknown whether Robin is a candidate for joining or not.

When his term was up at the Symbiosis Commission, Robin left Trill in order to join Starfleet. His departure was met with disappointment from the Symbiosis Commission, who lodged a formal request to Starfleet to deny Robin entry into the Academy. The petition was denied with none of the expected backlash. Robin graduated from the Academy with honours in Strategy and Tactics. Seeing a bright command path for him, Starfleet Command decided to grant him the rank of Lieutenant Commander and sent him aboard the U.S.S. Thatcher, an Akira-class starship monitoring the borders of Federation space. Lieutenant Commander Tolendo was involved in several skirmishes during the Klingon-Federation war, and was promoted to Captain to honour his many battles but more importantly his dedication to peaceful resolution despite the deterioration of the Alpha and Beta Quadrant political situations.

The unwavering dedication to the principles upon which the Federation was founded left Captain Tolendo as Starfleet's number one choice to lead the U.S.S. Amarante into the Delta Quadrant and act as representation of the Alliance to any races that may have been disturbed by the U.S.S. Equinox. Captain Tolendo is currently serving on that assignment.
