Ian Andrew Troi was a Human male Starfleet officer who lived during the 24th century. He was born in London on Earth circa 2305. As a child in England, he lost a bit of flesh in his thigh after having been attacked by a wild goose. After joining Starfleet Academy, however, he claimed that the injury resulted from a boating accident as he believed that having "menaced by a goose" appear on his medical record would lead to him being mocked by his fellow students, particularly the upperclassmen.
