NSEA Data file: Tech Sgt. Chen, Fred
Tech Sgt. Fred Chen is one of the best technicians in the National Space Exploration Association Fleet. He has set the mold for many technicians and is an idol to most. Starting out young, he had always been interested in the inner workings of starships, creating small, flyable models of them from scratch.
Graduating early from the Academy, Chen was soon posted on one of the newest starships prototypes in the fleet, the N.S.E.A. Surpasser, surpasser class. He was soon became the chief technician’s, Lt. Trip LaTorr, favorite tech and was put to several difficult technical tasks, thus earning him to become his Assistant Chief Technician and a rank promotion to Tech. Corporal.
On a special mission into enemy territory in one of many space battles it encountered on the mission, the Chief Technician was lost in an unfortunate accident, and Chen took control. If he hadn’t stepped up they would not have survived as long as they did. In the end the mission was a failure and the ship and most of her crew, including her commander, Captain Tikaru Rulu.
After his rescue and return to N.S.E.A. Territory, he was promoted to Tech Sgt. for his exemplary service and his courage and skill. He was soon then transferred to the N.S.E.A. Protector as Chief Technician after Commander Peter Taggert took command. He always did like the amendment class starships the best, for he always did like tinkering with the relics. Chen soon fell in love with the Thermian Laliari during the Sarris/ Thermian incident. The two have been inseparable since then.
