Biographies of the Senior Crew of the
2292-2295
Captain Shaun Kelsey – Commanding Officer
His first
assignment was on the U.S.S. Enterprise where he trained under Captain Kirk until
transferred to the U.S.S. Samson. There he worked his way up to the rank and
position of Commander and Second Officer before the onset of the Kelvan War. During the
war, he was decorated on numerous occasions for bravery under fire, both as a member of
the ill-fated Samson as well as the commander of the corvette U.S.S. Fer
d’Lance. He is highly competent both tactically and strategically, instilling
strong loyalty and commitment from his crew. He met his wife—Commander Arlene
Williams—while serving on the Enterprise.
Began her
career onboard the U.S.S. Enterprise under Captain Kirk. Decorated for valor during
the Kelvan War, which she earned during the fight when the U.S.S. Alliance became
the last dreadnought class starship to survive the initial onslaught. She is a very
professional science officer and insists upon maintaining strict adherence to the
agreement she has with her husband not to get any help, or special favors from him. Her
husband is Captain Kelsey and she first met him while assigned to the Enterprise.
Graduate of the
accelerated Super Nova class at Starfleet’s Academy. Considered a genius in his field
it explains his youth in correlation with his rank. His specialty is creating useful
mechanisms from the material at hand. Captain Kelsey met this young officer while he was
still young and with his parents—colonists that were being transported to their new
home. He was instrumental in the outcome of a dangerous situation which occurred while in
transit to the colony. U.S.S. Chosin is his first assignment and he is still
learning how a ship works in real life.
Up until his assignment to the U.S.S. Chosin, he has
always been a Chief Petty Officer and proud of it. He grudgingly took a commission to take
the offered position of helm officer from Captain Kelsey. Past assignment was as Weapons
Chief Petty Officer for torpedo room number two on the U.S.S. Enterprise, where he
first met Captain Kelsey, then a lieutenant. Highly decorated for valor during the Kelvan
War.
A veteran of both long range explorations and the Kelvan War,
she is probably the most seasoned of the crew outside of Captain Kelsey himself. She is of
Indian descent and a very competent doctor. She prides herself in being able to adjust to
any situation, with any person, especially her commanding officer, which makes her a
valued asset.
Major Matthew Mason – Starfleet
Marines, Commanding Officer, 1st Regiment, Sector 1
Major Mason is a hardcore marine, and triple ace from the
Kelvan War, one of the best the Federation has. He expects only the best from his marines
and gets it. His wing is one of the most decorated in the Federation.
Lieutenant Miranda Roberts – Chief Navigation Officer
Though not a
veteran of the Kelvan War, she has seen duty on the U.S.S. Alliance where she
established herself as a first rate navigator and where she met Commander Williams. She
accepted the invitation to join the crew of the U.S.S. Chosin without even a second
thought because of this friendship. A very sociable officer who enjoys a good time as much
as the next person, but is no nonsense when it comes to the ship’s helm.
Aherrowla comes
from a very influential pride on Cait (Alpha Lyncis VI). Though she's seen service on the
U.S.S. Lexington, this is her first assignment as the chief helm officer. She is
very demur and outside of her duties at the helm, somewhat quiet. However, don't get on
her bad side, because like all others of her species, she is a very competent, and deadly,
hand-to-hand fighter. Her pride leader, Mahlerowl, remains on Cait, where he maintains a
large pride of fifteen females, many of which are serving in Starfleet. Aherrowla is the
youngest, having not cubbed yet.
Recent graduate of the
Academy with a major in physical training and a physician’s assistant. As an Orion
female, she is an enigma since they rarely are found onboard a starship except to
entertain the males. She is anything but this and all business, treating the males of the
ship’s crew harshly and with intolerance as she puts them through the rigors of a
very strenuous physical fitness program.
The senior technician for this
specialty onboard the U.S.S. Chosin. He was decorated for valor during the Kelvan
War and saw extensive action having had three ships shot out from under him.
A Grazerite, Rion is herbivorous, eschewing meat and dairy from his diet. He requires very little sleep, and almost always can be found on duty in Transporter Room One. Like most Grazerites, he avoids confrontations and violence, but will fight when cornered.

Our apologies to any of the fine actors who might object to being depicted here in the Star Trek universe, but these folks are who Doug said he'd pick for these roles--of course, the budget for such a star-heavy project would require more money than the wealthiest Ferengi could afford, but we can dream, and their inclusion here is a tribute to them as far as we're concerned.
