=Career=
Soon after being joined, Jaton applied for an internship in the [[Trill Science Ministry]], a calling which he had felt since he was a child in A'Pili. As he was only about 20 at the time he chose his career path, he was able to rise throughthe ranks of the Science Ministry rather quickly, until, in [[1783]], he became the head chair of the Science Ministry, second in power only to the Science Minister, a member of the Trill cabinet.
==Serving as Science Minister==
In [[1790]], elections in the Congress appointed a new Prime Minister. Soon after, the Science Minister of the old administration retired, and the job passed to Jaton, who became the first joined Trill to hold a position in the Cabinet. Under him, the Science Ministry enjoyed a great time of prosperity and progress, including many iimprovements to the Trill warp drive system, allowing Trill ships, for the first time since they achieved warp drive approximately a century earlier, to pass Warp 4. His retirement from public life in [[1810]] was considered a great loss to the science community of Trill, and to some extent, the known galaxy at that point in time.
