I was born May 20, 2336 in Bloomington, Indiana, on Earth.. I have one sister named Phoebe Elizabeth, We grew up on the plains surrounding our grandfather's farm in Indiana. When I was six years old, I once watched a bolt of lightning split an oak tree in my grandfather's yard; one I had climbed just a few hours before.
Early Career
My first Starfleet posting was aboard the USS Al-Batani, under the command of Captain Owen Paris. I served as the science officer during the ship's participation in the Arias Expedition. During my posting aboard the Al-Batani, I accidentally knocked out power to six decks by misaligning the ship's positronic relays. When I held the rank of Lieutenant, I was the member of an away team defending a Federation outpost from Cardassians during a border conflict. We ended up cut off in a three daylong firefight with the Cardassians. One night during a break in the fighting my commanding officer ordered me and an ensign to crawl out into the brush and save a wounded Cardassian solider. At the time I thought my commander was crazy, but in retrospect saving that man's life was one of my proudest moments. In the end my away team secured the outpost and all members were decorated by Starfleet Command.
In 2365, was my first year as a commander I was aboard the USS Billings, I sent an away team to survey a volcanic moon. Their shuttle was damaged by a magma eruption and three crewmembers were severely injured. The next day I returned to the moon alone to complete the survey. I wanted the crew to know that their suffering had not been in vain, despite the possibility that I could have been killed. Later when I returned aboard the USS Billings is when I would meet Tuvok. For I would be dressed down by Tuvok in front of three Starfleet Admirals for failing to observe proper tactical procedures during that first mission.
In 2371, I took command of the Intrepid class starship USS Voyager. The vessel's first mission was to locate a missing Maquis vessel last seen in the Badlands. Given the navigational challenge this region of space bares, I proposed to Admiral Patterson to rehabilitate ex-Maquis Tom Paris in exchange for his help in finding the ship. While in the Badlands, Voyager was engulfed by a huge energy wave that hurled us 70,000 light-years into the far-side of the Delta Quadrant, in the same way that it did the Maquis vessel. I soon discovered that we had been brought there by the Caretaker, a being who was looking for a way to reproduce as he was dying. The Caretaker told me of how he, and another like him who had left several centuries earlier, had accidentally ruined the homeworld of the Ocampa. After the entity's death, I destroyed the Caretaker's array to keep it from falling into the hands of the Kazon, who would use it against the Ocampa. I then had the task of merging the Starfleet and Maquis crews in order to return home, a trip that would have taken over 75 years at the ship's maximum cruise velocity.
In 2378, I was able to return to Earth with the assistance of my future self from the early 25th century in an alternate timeline. Admiral Janeway had provided me my present-day counterpart with sophisticated anti-Borg technology, including transphasic torpedoes and ablative armor generator technology, in order for Voyager to enter the nebula that had readings suggesting dozens of wormholes and Borg cubes. When Voyager reached the nebula through guidance by Admiral Janeway she ordered the crew to enter the transwarp hub, but I was reluctant to forgo the opportunity to damage the Borg's infrastructure considerably. While trying to outrun the cascading shockwave reaction caused by the destruction of one hub, a Borg sphere pursued us and attempted to capture it. Upon exiting the transwarp conduit in the Alpha Quadrant, Admiral Paris ordered all available ships to intercept in response to sensor readings indicating a Borg energy signature. As the Starfleet Armada opened fire, Voyager destroyed the sphere from inside with a single transphasic torpedo. Shortly, the fleet greeted the crew as Voyager exited the conduit and reached home.
Upon our return I was given the rank of Vice Admiral. In 2379, I ordered Captain Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise at request of the new Romulan Praetor, Shinzon.
In 2382, I along with a few former members of Voyager. Captain Chakotay, Seven of Nine and the Doctor we were able too stop the Gorn from attacking Earth. I was then promoted to Admiral.
In 2386 I was promoted to Fleet Admiral and on my spare time I like to teach at Starfleet Academy.
Unlike most Starfleet Admirals I have decided to get out from behind my desk and leave the safety of Earth. With the approval of Starfleet Command, I have taken leave from my teaching at the Academy. Once again I have taken Command of another Intrepid Class Starship with a whole new crew. Yes, it looks like my old ship the USS Voyager but she isn’t. Together my crew and I will defend the Federation and Starfleet from attacks from outside of the Federation or, even God forbid, an attack from within the Federation.
