Early Life[]
His father Veler owned three shuttlecraft maintenance bays on Tellar's famed Space Elevator, where Kolp and his older brother Lev spent most of their childhood.
At sixteen his parents allowed the brothers to travel to Vulcan, Andor, and Earth as stewards aboard a family friend's starliner. Lev stayed aboard as a crew member and Kolp joined Starfleet the next year.
USS Vigilant[]
He transferred from the Ambassador to the Vigilant as Maintenance Officer at Gedna Tachion request in 2364.
After the investigations were concluded, Kolp transferred toEarth Recruit Training Command as a recruit division commander, serving there until Tachion offered him a billet aboard the USS Lionheart.
USS Lionheart[]
Kolp came aboard the Lionheart as Command Senior Chief and Maintenance Officer during the last month of its construction at the New London Fleet Yards.
He was the Engineering Officer of the Watch during Alpha Shift and shared quarters with T'rook.
In early 2372 he decided to retire. While the Lionheart was enroute to Vulcan to begin a five-stop publicity tour of the Federation's founding worlds, he met with Tellar's Federation Councilor, who had come aboard. Councilor Gleer attempted to convince him to stay aboard until the ship arrived at Tellar. Kolp declined, stating that he'd made it this far in his career without being anyone's pawn, and he wouldn't start now. ("Ponn Farr")
