If YOU could be a Starfleet Officer...

One of the things I am doing for my campaign is writing up a complete list of my ship's crew. Anyway, since coming up with names is hard when tehre is 1,400 of them, I was wondering if everyone would like to be listed? Just list your real name, your rank (Lt Cmr. and lower please), your division (command, science, medical, etc.), and perhaps a few details about you. Other fictional NPC's welcome.

THANKS! http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

"Your skull shall make an excellent trophy for my wall!" - Hirogen Home Improvement Ad

These are the characters my players created. Format is:

rank name (department)
gender race (aspect focus)
analysis

Aspect and focus are from the Starfleet Academy boxed set. The analysis is the official Starfleet comments for each character, written just after they graduated from the Academy.


Ensign Beltana S'hatar (Medical)
Female Betazoid/Vulcan (Inquisitive Humanist)
Quiet and reserved, Ensign S'hatar is the team's resident doctor/emotionally unstable character. Torn apart by her Betazoid and Vulcan halves, Beltana bravely assumes a studious and calm facade in public. In private she spends a lot of time on the holodeck working out her frustrations.

Lieutenant JG Clancy "Chris" Evans (Science)
Male Human (Cautious Experimenter)
Newly arrived Ensign Clancy Evans has already shown himself to be an open and friendly lad who wants to learn more about everyone and everything around him. A bit inflexible when following orders, he still has trouble adjusting to fast changing situations. Starfleet High Command believes that with some additional training, Evans can become a top notch first contact specialist.

Lieutenant JG Gonar (Engineering)
Male Tellarite (Crusty Experimenter)
Always cranky, constantly complaining, never one to accept anything "as-is", Ensign Gonar is a methodical engineer who'd rather be out there fixing things when others would argue about a solution. Specializing in warp field engineering he is justly famous for his ability to create any sort of energy containment unit out of a bundle of wires, a few scraps of metal, spit and a heaping of elbow grease.

Lieutenant JG John Theodore Kalhoun (Comand)
Human Male (Crusty Rebel)
Dashing, debonair, and a little erratic, Lieutenant Kalhoun leads with the kind of take-charge attitude that leaves his enemies fuming and his subordinates dumbfounded. A bit sullen and difficult when not in command, he nevertheless is quick to take initiative when given the chance, usually being able to anticipate the Captain's next command.

Lieutenant JG Jon Cabote (Engineering/Intelligence)
Male Ktarian (Tireless Scamp)
Ensign Cabote is an incorrigible prankster. Although Starfleet Security knows of his "rain of donuts" in the Academy and for "fixing" the USS Discovery's transporters, Starfleet Intelligence has covered for him. Behind his roguish facade is a keen mind that can quickly analyze and disseminate a situation into its constituent parts.

Lieutenant Krystal Evensong (Counselor)
Female Betazoid (Romantic Explorer)
Lieutenant Evensong is a hotheaded young counselor who is not averse to using her mental powers in any way she sees fit to use them. Impatient and impulsive, she also is remarkably friendly and open in first contact situations. Her disengaging smile and honey sweet voice have done more good than her companions' use of phasers and photon torpedos.

Lieutenant JG Serin (Command)
Male Vulcan (Cautious Leader)
Lieutenant Serin fears that he cannot live up to his Vulcan ideals. The demands of Starship command weigh heavily on him and he has found it hard to reconcile his duties to Starfleet with his Vulcan ethics. In practice, this has made him hesitant when committing to a situation, a problem that Starfleet Command hopes he will resolve himself.

Ensign Venor Pertham (Security)
Male Betelgeusan (Cold Doer)
Although he wanted to follow the ways of F'Ter and become an engineer, Starfleet Command realizes that Ensign Pertham has a natural aptitude for security. Bitter from being transferred out of his only interest, Pertham relishes taking out his anger on any Federation "enemies" that he happens to come across.

Ensign Zeb (Engineering)
Female Bolian (Cold Caretaker)
Ensign Zeb has shown herself to be a team player who quietly contributes where she can. A bit too naive and trusting when dealing with new people, that is nevertheless the kind of attitude that Starfleet promotes in its men and women. Zeb is sometimes hesitant to contradict her commanding officers, something that they will have to keep in mind if they want to get the most out of the Ensign.

I would be LT.JG.(at 30) Geoffrey Heald (which is pronounced "Healed" unless you want to attempt the gaelic, which is more like "hay-ldt"), Computer Systems Theoretical Engineer (I'm always better in theory) and a FONT of trivia.

Elsewhere I have been LtCmdr. Shakaar Laan, Bajoran, Engineer and distant cousin to First Minister Shakaar Edon. Deply into arificial intelligence and corresponds with Data occasionaly.

Also might be found as former Ens Alex Jeung, TWOK-era officer listed as MIA and inexplicable alive and well in the TNG setting as an independant trader, apparent age 50 but actual age apparently at least 300 (objects to direct questions about age as "nosy").

------------------
You're a Starfleet Officer. "Weird" is part of the job.

Here's someone I'm using in my Academy series adventure tonight:

Roderick Harlan
Male Human
Starfleet "Brat" early life
Command Branch
Advanced Tactical School training.

Harlan is proud to be a member of Red Squadron. His relentless zeal for perfection has earned may mark him for quick promotion, but only if he can conceal his arrogant distain for those he feel do not "measure up."

The reason for this is because of the example of his father, who was a respected Starfleet officer but was not often present in Rod's life. Then his father did not come back from a 10 year exploration mission, and Rod has been competing against his father's reputation ever since.

Harlan would make an excellent rival for a PC. He has the Arrogant disadvantage, and a Contact with a militiant-leaning Starfleet captain on the front lines.

Name: Aslan Collas
Rank: Lt retired
Branch: Formerly command/conn
Current: Civilian services
Notes: A former officer on board the USS Athena, Lt. Collas retired after the Dominion War, sighting work related stress as the cause for his retirement. Now he works as a bartender in the ship's lounge where he is always quick with a joke or to light up your smoke.

Lt. Cmdr. Robert Farquhar (not his real name), Ship's Librarian.
(actually, I have Cmdr's pips, but since you specified LtCmdr or lower...)

Human, 35, blue eyes, dark blonde hair, goatee. (Think Kenneth Branagh in "Much Ado About Nothing)
Branch: Sciences (Library)

Notes: Most of Farquhar's seventeen-year official Starfleet record is fictional. Although he appears to be a calm, quiet man in a dull job, Farquhar (who was then named Daniel Fairchild) was originally trained as a member of SI's deepest-cover covert operations unit, Team Shannon.

There... have fun with that.. 'Conan the Librarian!' http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

Name: Paul Elstob
Species: Human
Rank: Lt
Position: Nurse
Age: 28

Paul is a quiet person who is one of those mad people who rush out into a phaser fight and keep the troops fighting, taking out a few Jem'hadar if need be. He always has his nose buried in the latest novel and has the eerie ability not to walk into people, doors etc when walking down the corridors of the ship.

Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges

"In time of war, the law falls silent"

Admiral Ross to Dr Bashir

Name: Paul Sinclair
Rank: Lt Cmdr (but I'll go with Lt if Lt Cmdr doesn't fit into your game... http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/biggrin.gif )
Species & Age: Human Male, 31 yo
Department: Engineering (Comms and Computer specialist)

A little clumsy, socially speaking, but generally a pleasant, easy-going person. Has a good sense of humour. Likes to laugh and goof around, but knows when to work, and works hard when there's work to be done. Pulls his own weight. Slightly intolerant of those who don't pull thier own weight. Dislikes weak leadership, but is not a good leader himself (and knows this fact within himself).

Gosh. I gave a bit too much of myself away, there... http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

If you love, love with all your heart. If you fight, fight to win. If you must die, die with honor.

LT Stephen Shepard - Operations

Shepard is 26. He is descended from Alan Shepard of the old Mercury programme and has an interest in the history of space exploration. The Shepard family has been in Starfleet since 2161 and his uncle is an Admiral and his cousin is Captain of the USS Outreach (feel free to change this one). He was almost drummed out of the Academy for having a relationship with his instructor and only his uncle's influence saved his career from being flushed out the air-lock. He continues his relationship with Commander Vanessa Kusaka who is currently running a deep space listening post along the Tholian border.

LT Larena Curron - Medical

A unjoined Trill, Larena Curron has had a varied career in Starfleet. Trained as a medical officer she was recruited into a Starfleet Intelligence as an operative and has accomplished some dangerous missions. An accomplished actress she can assume almost any identity. She's also an accomplished computer hacker and hand-to-hand combatant. Oh yes, she's also a doctor.

LTJG Keith Ramsay Clarke - Command

A Command Specialist, Clarke spent the last six years as an exhcange officer with the KDF where he picked up a number of Klingon like habits and Klingon combat skills. He was adopted into the family of Commander Kargak the CO of the B'rel-class starship Ver'tal'l for his bravery during the Dominion War where he killed two Jem'Hadar warriors in hand-to-hand combat.

here we go..

Lieutenant j.g. Kiddo Li Weng

Name: Tanko

Rank: Lt. jr.

Race:Betelgeusan he follow the way of Altaan

Branch: security (want to be chief of that section)

Age: 22

He serve in the ground force in the dominion war
he is a little bit "trigger happy" but he know when use is skill

I know with some time he will calm his nerves

but i will be always Ready for a fight vs EVIL

This seems to be a good place to post my Quick And Easy Odd Name Generator(tm).
Take the name of a famous or familar person. Spell it backwards. Try to pronounce it. If it works, use it. (Remember to assign it to an appropriate alien race.)
The first names I did this with were:
Lon Cheney --> Yenech Nol
Peter Lorre --> Errol Retep (gee)
Boris Karloff --> Ffolrak Sirob.
From there, I did a string of other Borises to create a whole "Sirob Family". (This can easilly be done with other names, too.) That got me:
Vonidoog Sirob --> Boris Goodinov
Vonidab Sirob --> Boris Badinov
Nistley Sirob --> Boris Yeltsin

So, you can create a quick-and-dirty alien and name him Doowtsae Tnilc --> Clint Eastwood (okay, I'd rule "Tnilc" as unpronouncable. Try Senoj Lrae Semaj --> James Earl Jones. Could be an arab?)

My brother insists that I include Thgirod Yeldud --> Dudley Doright

------------------
You're a Starfleet Officer. "Weird" is part of the job.

OK; heres a couple.

Lt. Commander Hauq Tranatas (Bajoran)
Strategic Operations Officer
A strict by the book, Tactical/Security guy, A long-time veteran of Starfleet, having been one of the few survivors of the USS Melbourne at Wolf 359, where he was the first ensign to recieve the Chris Pike medal of valour.
Before Starfleet he was a member of the Bajoran resistance, but was captured and tortured by the Cardassians, after his rescue he was sent to Starfleet by Kai Opaka to follow the course of his Pagh.
Heavily scarred, he wears the scars as a reminder of his hatred of the Cardassians, and he leaves his wife, a nurse on Bajor.

NOTE: In the Mirror universe Colonal Hauq is the commander of Senator Dukats private flagship, and a close confidant. Without his facial scarring or the premature greying he is a womaniser and a cunning foe (and a regular visitor to Kiras bed http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/wink.gif ), having remained loyal to the Alliance even after Bajor swapped sides to the Rebellion.

(The character was heavily interacting with Siskos past and the prophets...)

Then theres;
Lt (jg) Woy Lizanne (Bajoran/Cardassian)
Operations/Communications Officer
This eager young officer was an orphan abandoned in neutral territory, she never knew her mother, nor the Cardassian that raped her. Loathed by both Bajoran and Cardassian cultures.
Growing up on the streets, salvation found her when she was taken in by a Starfleet captain who then bonded in a father/daughter relationship.
Following in her adopted fathers footsteps, she remains with her sole remaining family, Starfleet, and intends to be one of the best damn officers possible, even if her shady childhood has given her an outlook and abilities to deal with the darker side of the frontier...

"Your skull shall make an excellent trophy for my wall!" - Hirogen Home Improvement Ad

Hey, it’s run out the NPCs night! Sounds like fun!

Captain Don Mappin (you can bust me down to Lt. Cmdr) http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
Command (Commanding Officer)
Tags: I’m afraid to give any insight to my fragile emotional state. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/wink.gif
Quote: “Well…shit.”

NPCs/PCs from any number of games:

Commander Thann Pentis (Male Betazoid)
Command (Executive Officer), former Operations Officer
Tags: You live for the moment, are impulsive, quick to action, and have a charming personality. You exude confidence and your fellow officers are quick to turn to you in a desperate situation for leadership. You never asked for the position you have been thrust into but find yourself always rising to the challenge. It’s hard being this good.
Quote: “There’s no point in living if you can’t feel alive.”
"How you doin?"

Lieutenant Cless Mora (Female Bajoran)
Operations (Tactical)
See full NPC sheet online at TrekRPGNet
Quote: “Captain on the bridge!”

Lieutenant, j.g. Crisis Barth (Male Alpha Centaurian)
Science (Chief Science Officer)
Tags: You’re the smartest person on board the ship and thankfully you know it. Unfortunately you have to keep pointing this fact out to the rest of the dimwits aboard. That’s okay; all the greatest minds in history had to put up with the incompetents around you. Starship life is so dull and boring it affords you exiting opportunities to work on your chaos theory on numbers, boosting the signal gain on the lateral sensor array 235% beyond listed specifications, and your personal hobby of nano-geneculture. It’s 2300 hours—I have this nagging feeling I’m supposed to be somewhere now…
Quote: “Realign the warp core? Sure, I finished that hours ago. Didn’t I tell you?”

Lieutenant Peri Sernia (Female Betazoid)
Science (Counselor/Medical Officer)
Tags: Life constantly challenges us and throws curve balls at us. It’s how we respond to these challenges that define us as individuals. Years of helping others deal with their problems sometimes makes it difficult to reconcile your own but in the grand scheme of things your problems seem so trivial. You enjoy helping others and when you do so you feel your own troubles go away. Intellectually some might consider this a passive transference but emotionally you know what you do helps everyone become a better person.
Quote: “Don’t think about it—just let it happen.”

Lieutenant Josephine “Jo Jo” Prel (Female Alpha Centaurian)
Command (Conn Officer)
Tags: Everyone on the ship loves you! You’re everyone’s best friend. Every time you step on the bridge to head the watch you can notice everyone perk up with excitement! Sure, being a Starfleet officer is challenging but there’s no reason why we always have to be so serious. Off hours you’re the life of any party and have your pulse on the mood of the crew. Can’t we all just get along?
Quote: “Aye, aye, Captain, I’d be happy to plot that course!”

Lieutenant Commander Brandon Young (Male Human)
Science (Chief Science Officer)
Tags: Joining Starfleet seemed like a good idea. Yes, it was. No really, it was. Alright, maybe it isn’t always cracked up to what you thought it would be. Being a scientist was a lot easier before your analysis had implications for the lives of everyone on board! You know your stuff and have strong confidence in your abilities but beyond your comfort zone it’s no-man’s-land. Like all good scientists you rely on empirical evidence, which means you’re not prone to following “hunches” or leaping to conclusions. People that don’t give science a chance are just asking for trouble.
Quote: “I…um…don’t think that’s a good idea. Er, okay…I was wrong…sorta.”

Lieutenant, j.g. Rolo Nimm (Male Human)
Operations (Communications Officer)
Tags: Language is the easiest thing in the world for you to understand. In fact, you can almost swear the ship is talking to you through the rhythmic hum and pitch of the deck plating between warp 5.2 and 5.3. No one else seems to notice it, though. Your uniform itches and your chair squeaks and someone once again turned on the red lighting and that annoying alarm. Guess it’s time to go to the bridge again. Hey, did you notice that the strobe of the red light is similar to the phosphorescence found on Julan 12? I’ll mention it to the captain the next time I see her!
Quote: “Look, there it is again!” (stabbing at blinking light on console)

Lieutenant Commander Antonio Vargas DeVega (Male Human)
Operations (Chief Engineering Officer)
Tags: Discipline is required in the engineering branch to ensure the swift and competent running of all shipboard systems. Only by working together and carefully dispatching engineering teams can we remain in perfect operating capacity. Fortunately I possess the necessary skills and training to oversee this demanding role. While some may scoff at my methodology and necessity to delegate responsibilities, none can doubt that our ship functions beyond reproach. No doubt this is due to my pure heritage and natural leadership skills.

Hey Mr Mappin let me tell you:
The Academy boxed set RULES!

Don, I have also been using the Academy boxed set aspect/focus rules...

But the PBEM I run, its often not available to all players, so those poor souls are stuck with 5DP, players with the academy boxed set get a little more...

"Hi, I'm Commander Troy McClure, you might remember me from other academy training holo-simulations as, Abandon Ship, the quickest way out, and I sense danger, 101 things you dont need a Betazoid to know..."

http://www.theventure.freeserve.co.uk

Hi Don,

I'm phasing in use of the aspect/focus system in my campaign. Last week they just chose their aspect/focus. Next week I'll give them a chance to get the game mechanics... choosing advantages/disads that link with that. I didn't want them worrying about game mechanics when they chose their aspects.

Hmm... well, I've only had opportunity to play two charactters in LUGTrek:

Lt. J.G. Michael Armendariz
Human Rapid Response Field Medic

and

Lt. J.G. Dakin Rann
Bajoran Security Officer
Assistant Security Chief, Station 419
(Anomaly TrekMUX)

--Mac

[This message has been edited by Mac417 (edited 09-26-2001).]

After reading Don's post, I had to pitch in some of my own. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

First, there's me:

Douglas Neil Burke (Probably no higher than Lieutenant in rank, Lt. Commander at a stretch)
Probably Ops, maybe Conn (Chief Ops Manager)
Tags: Hmmm. Friendly and sarcastic. Can be very profesisonal when required to, but likes to be as easy-going as possible. In a 24th-Century setting, I would likely spend a lot of off-duty time in the holodeck with friends,engagoing in that era's equivalent to RPGs. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/biggrin.gif
Quote: "Are we having fun yet?"

Now, for PCs and NPCs.

Commander Samuel James Kirk (Male Human)
Command (last official assignment was First Officer, USS Dauntless)
Tags: Thoughtful and friendly, especially with the ladies. Stick to the regs unless the regs prevent you from doing what you know is right. Try to live up to your great-great-great-uncle's reputation, but try not to live in his shadow. You are your own Kirk, after all.
Quote: "Inappropriate? I'm just talking two friends sharing a table while they eat, Cless." and "Obviously it's... Okay, maybe not so obviously."

Lt. Commander Senet (Male Klingon/Vulcan Hybrid)
Command (First Officer, USS Midway), former Tactical Officer
Tags: Fire and Ice. Rage and Logic. Do what you feel is right, but also what is honorable. Hide you remotions until they bubble out and someone gets hurt (and hope it's a bad guy). Logic may be he cement that holds your life together, so why do you take such pleasure in expressing your rage?
Quote: "Fascinating. Now I am forced to RIP YOUR THROAT OUT!"

Lieutenant Mark Kelley (Male Human)
Operations (Senior Operations Manager, USS Blackthorne)
Tags: Calm and professional. Almost like it's a game. As the current holder of the Cestine Baseball League's record for Most Humeruns in a Season, you tend to think of things in baseball-ish terms. It seems to be working so far, because you have a great average. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
Quote: "(muttered) Pinch hitter, huh? (louder) Captain! Ship decloaking off the starboard bow!"

Lt. Commander Angus MacKay (Human Male, surname pronounced mc-AYE)
Medical (Chief Medical Officer, USS Blackthorne)
Tags: What some people call "bedside manner", you call "coddling". What you call "bedside manner", some people call "cruel and inhuman punishment". As likely to say "Suck it up, lad!" as you are to show true concern, you are the terror of your ship. Even the captain avoids sickbay if he can help it. And that suits you just fine. Gives you time to study your medical journals and keep up with the new procedures.
Quote: "It's MacKay! With an A-Y! Can't ye bloody read?!??" and "Now hold still, this is gointa hurt like all hell. (SNAP!!) Oh quit yer whining! I warned ye, didn't I?"

I could come up with more, but that would require more effort than I'd like to expend right now... http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

McCoy: "You're taking me to the promised land?"
Kirk: "That's what you get for missing staff meetings, Doctor."

[This message has been edited by Doug Burke (edited 09-27-2001).]

Lt. Re'k Danar (Male Xenexian)
Sec/Tac (security squad leader, ex-RRT squad leader)
Tags: Between growing up on Danteri-occupied Xenex, fighting in the Xenexian liberation, dealing with the son of a man you killed a decade ago, fending off a Romulan insurgence, and making enemies with the higher-ups in the RRT, it's been a hard life. The up side is that a generation of Xenexians, growing up on a world that hasn't known war since they were born, can read the news and see that there are two Xenexians out there doing great things in the universe. That's pretty much the only reason you stay in the fleet these days... when you saw the Romulan phaser lanced through Counsellor Serena Nobuyuki's chest, it killed off a huge part of you, too. You used to carry a sword at your side -- you could claim it had cultural significance, and what did the Federation know about Xenexian culture? -- but started to leave it in your quarters when you realized you really, really had to get those war-forged aggressive instincts under control.

Re'k was my PC for a campaign that ran for a year or so. In game, after Serena died, he got tied up in a mirror universe plot and stayed on the other side, but we can ignore that. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

Lt.JG Nelson "Justy" Allan (Human male, 22)
Engineering (isolinear computer specialist)
Tags: Congratulations, Ensign! You've just been promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade! Not that it really changes anything. You still have the same number of isolinear elements to maintain, the XO calls you just as often because he can't figure out how to open his email, and you get to spend just as much time watching your favorite Japanese animation. Actually, you have slightly less time... now you have an ODN specialist Ensign reporting to you, and those reports cut into your rec time a bit. But you don't mind. The Chief promised that next month you'd start training on maintaining the warp propulsion control system, and from there it's an easy hop to propulsion engineering ("REAL engineering," said the Chief), and eventually on to bigger and better things. Relax. Have a good time. Concentrate a little more on your martial art (kendo), spend a little more time socializing in the lounge, and above all... be "Justy" Allan.
Quote: "Um, Commander, try hitting the single big white button on your terminal."

"Justy" is, essentially, me. Except that I do paperwork in real life... nothing so exciting as fixing my boss' email. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

[This message has been edited by Re'k (edited 09-28-2001).]

Like Doug, after I finished reading Don's post, I had to slap some of my own up here, too.

First...

Lt. Malcom Mactavish

Likely Ops, but possibly Science (Computers)

Tags: Alternately hyperactive and sullen, Mactavish spends a great deal of his work time engaging in specific tasks that are more likely to meet his personal desires than those of his Department Head. Sure, he can do his work and finish his reports on time, but he is more likely to wait until the last minute. His reports are often rife with flowery prose, mildly obnoxious sarcasm, and the exact information necessary to make the report worth reading.

Quote: "The crew training manifest? No, I never got that..."

[That's more or less me in a nutshell. Heh.]

Other characters include:

Captain Lydia Astor (Human Starfleet Captain)

Commanding officer of the U.S.S. Paladin.

Tags: As a middle-aged woman, I must admit that I can't imagine any other life than that of a Starfleet captain. The Paladin is a fine ship with an exceptional crew. I can't imagine having it any other way.

Quote: "Best speed to Betazed, Mr. Grahl."

Envoy General T'Mok (Betazoid raised by Vulcans)

Tags: Powerfully psionic, T'Mok spent his first several years as a Starfleet officer trapped in the Delta Quadrant with several graduating classmates. Upon his return to Federation space, T'Mok resigned his commission and returned to Vulcan to train as a diplomat.

Quote: "Your anger is totally illogical considering what you're thinking at the moment."

Lt. Cmdr. Vol Sanger (Alpha Centauran Chief Engineer)

Tags: Returning from the Delta Quadrant after being stranded there for over six years, Vol applied his "field studies" to his engineering practices and was quickly reassigned to the U.S.S. Paladin under Captain Cyril Dudikov. An exemplary officer and suberb engineer, Vol was quixckly reassigned to Chief Engineering Officer duties when the former chief was killed in action.

Quote: "You know, the Voth transwarp technologies could EASILY be adapted for use in this ship..."

Ensign Jal Kel'mar (Kazon Security Officer)

Tags: A Kazon goven, Kel'mar joined forces with a group of lost Starfleet Academy graduates and eventually returned with them to the Alpha Quadrant. Kel'mar spent several months at the Academy, and, thanks to his previous training and studies with his new-found friends, was placed aboard the U.S.S. Paladin for it's maiden voyage.

Quote: "Growing up on Turkana was rough? Try living constantly on the run from the Kazon."


mactavish out.

Greets!

I noticed there were all officers in the reply posts, and I thought I'd include some of our crewmembers to fill out your lower ranks.

Master Chief Boatswain's Mate Lem Marechall
Command Master Chief
MCBM Marechall was a Engineering Watch Chief for the Warp Propulsion division, known as a fair but exacting taskmaster. The Master Chief could tell if the dilithium crystals were out of alignment by the vibrations of the deck in Main Engineering. Was promoted to Command Master Chief for his leadership, and serves as the senior enlisted advisor aboard ship.

Sergeant William 'Wild Bill' Franklin
Shuttle Crew Chief, Rapid Response Team
Wild Bill is the Loadmaster and Crew Chief for the Invader, a refit Danube-class Runabout designed to deliver cargo and RRT members in an 'airborne' operation. Known for flamboyance, and habitually carrying a pair of Type II phasers in holsters he made himself while on deployment, Wild Bill has never lost cargo to enemy fire or air combat maneuvering.

Quartermaster's Mate Second Class Anthony Venatelli
Helm
QM2 Venatelli was born and raised in New York City, Terra. He went to work at Utopia Planetia running orbital tugs for the Yard as a Merchant Marine, and joined Starfleet during the Dominion War. He was assigned to the USS Ark Angel (APA-74662) where he served as a relief helmsman. QM2 Venatelli has also been known to help out in the galley, since he feels the Trill commissary officer has no idea what 'authentic' Italian food should taste like.

Oh God - I'd never have made it through Starfleet Academy - it took me 7 years of part-time status to make it through university, LOL. :p

Um.

I'd probably still be an ensign, at 26. My degree is an honours psychology, and before doin the bookstore thing, I was working on suicide hotlines, rap-lines, and the like, so...
