Childhood

Both of Jall's parents were Starfleet officers. As such, he spent most of his youth moving from ship, to ship, to starbase, to ship, to planetary outpost, back to ship and etcetera.

Starfleet Academy

He went there.

Early Starfleet Career

Jall served on a number of starships before being posted to the USS Rossburn as tactical officer. In a bizarre stroke of good luck, he was promoted to Commander and transferred to the USS Sutherland, about two hours before the Rossburn was apparently destroyed by Orion pirates. Jall's stint at first officer lasted nearly two years, when he was caught doing the nasty with the son of Starfleet Admiral. While such a thing would normally be the grounds for nothing more than a mild reprimant, the Admiral in question had Jall demoted and transferred to the Operation Salvage project.

USS Silverado

Posted as the Operations Officer, Jall's first action aboard ship was to piss of his new CO. His second action was to piss off his new CO even more. Angered by his unjust demotion, Jall fell into a very negative, very biting attitude. That said, he did become friends with Ensign Trish Yanick. Eventually, after a few months, Jall found his niche aboard Silverado. His love of partying and disregard of rules and regulations has made him very popular with the lower ranks.

Jall was initially tasked with upgrading Silverado's computer system. A shortcut in upgrading the software resulted in the Silverado being launched back in time to 21st century Earth, where Jall was part of the away team alongside Captain Chris Stafford and Dr. Noel Wowryk sent down to the planet to determine the exact date ("Old Ships, New Beginnings" [SIL]). It was during this time that Jall programmed the computer to behave like Stafford's mother, an action that coupled with several accidents and a Matrian dream device would result in a fully sentient starship, Sylvia.

Silverado launched soon after, and on it's shakedown cruise made it's first contact with the Matrians when one of their dream devices trapped the crew in a dream world dominated by Queen Wowryk, the maniacal alter ego of the ship's doctor Noel Wowryk. The only unaffected officers, first officer Matthew Noonan and science officer Jane 5-B, discovered that death in the dream world resulted in waking up in reality, after Jall was eviscerated by T'Parief. Jall was sent back into the dream world to communicate this fact to Stafford and the crew, and repeatedly there after to defeat the Sisters of the Realm. He was killed in the dream world at least 13 times ("Ship of Dreams? (Part I)", "Ship of Dreams? (Part II)" [SIL]).

While the Silverado undertook it's first official mission to recover the USS Stallion Jall unexpectedly began acting cordially towards Captain Stafford. Stafford nearly drove himself mad investigating and, in the end, apologized to Jall for suspecting him of being up to something. As it turns out though, Jall was up to something. Namely, proving to his buddies that he could trick Stafford into apologizing to him ("Welcome to Hickville" [SIL]).

Disabled by a plumbing failure, Silverado came under attack from two more Matrian Scout ships. Despite succesfully fighting them off the crew once again came under the influence of a dream device, altering everyone's character. Inspired by the ship's cartoon night Jall behaved as Bugs Bunny, prusued by T'Parief's Elmer Fudd ("Fragmentation" [SIL]). Dead in space until spare parts are delivered, Jall helped organise a crew party to raise crew morale, and in particular to help cheer up Trish Yannick. He took part in Redneck Jousting, where he was able to evade T'Parief for a short time until the tactical officer launched himself at him, sending both of them flying from the platform and resulting in a draw ("Are We Having Fun Yet?" [SIL]).

With the ship repaired the Silverado made first first-contact with a race of beautiful, friendly and sexually...open...aliens, the Senousians. With the exception to Jall, they seduce and capture all of the crew and take control of the Silverado. Jall and Jeffery are able to retake the ship, and Stafford, learning that the Senousians are repeatedly victims of Matrian attacks, promises to help them should they call for aid "Close Encounters of the Disturbingly Sexy Kind" [SIL]). After leading part of the crew in training exercises ("Red vs. Blue" [SIL]), the Silverado is trapped in a time "reset" device, with only Jall and Dr. Wowryk aware that they are repeating the same two and a half days. After discovering what was happening Jall took advantage of the situation, taking the opportunity to annoy Stafford by dancing around the bridge naked and play golf on the ship's hull ("You Can Say That Again!" [SIL]). When the Matrians captured Jeffery, Jall accompanied Stafford into the dream world to rescue him. When the dream world collapsed Jall became trapped in T'Parief's body ("Catfight (Part I)", "Catfight (Part II)" [SIL]).

Like many aboard Silverado, Jall found himself face-to-face with an alternate version of himself near the end of Season 2. This alternate version was the respected first-officer aboard the Sovereign-class USS Silverado. This encounter led Jall to re-asses his behaviour aboard the ship. When Commander Noonan left Silverado and left the first officer chair open, Jall successfully lobbied for the job. (Unknown to him, Sylvia had been working behind the scenes to reverse his unjust demotion, making him eligible for the position.)

Surprising, Jall is showing himself to be a very promising first officer, although he still has a tendency to fight with his CO. A lot.
