Personality & Traits
History
Personal History | 2353: Andrew Becker was born in New Berlin city on the Luna Colony during his father’s assignment to a Starfleet research facility in the city. 2355: William Becker is promoted to Commander and reassigned as the first officer onboard the USS Britain, an Excelsior-class research vessel. Catherine and Andrew follow William to the USS Britain. 2364: The USS Britain responds to the distress call of a Bolian freighter along the Cardassian border. While coming to the aide of the freighter, the Britain was attacked by a number of Cardassian warships resulting in it’s warp core destabilizing. Only a small number of officers and civilian personnel were able to escape the vessel before warp core containment failed and the ship was destroyed. Andrew and his mother were two of the survivors, with Andrew’s father William dying on board the Britain. They spent three days trapped on board an escape pod before rescue by the USS Challenger. 2365: Catherine and Andrew relocate to Earth. Andrew was raised in rural Ireland, with Catherine vowing never to leave the planet again after the death of William. This caused friction with Andrew who dreamed of pursuing his father’s career in space. 2371: Andrew joins Starfleet Academy against the wishes of his mother. He follows a path in the ‘sciences’ division. It is at Starfleet Academy that Andrew befriends Aran Zahne, a fellow cadet and ‘sciences’ major. They become roommates and later best friends. 2375: Andrew graduates from Starfleet Academy and is offered his first posting on board the USS Odyssey as a science officer. Following the conclusion of the Dominion War, Andrew is promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and made the Acting Chief Science Officer when his superior, Lieutenant Lindzey Everton, is reassigned. Andrew also becomes romantically entangled with Lieutenant Ashka Neere, a Starfleet Officer who later reveals herself to be a member of the ‘Underground Movement’, an organisation bent on enslaving all non-telepaths in the alpha quadrant. Their formal relationship ends. 2376: Andrew is promoted once again to Full Lieutenant and given the Chief Science Officer position permanently on board the USS Odyssey. Aran Zahne is reassigned from the USS Akira to the Odyssey as Assistant Chief Science Officer. Ashka Neere returns to the Odyssey and threatens to kill the crew. Andrew intervenes by handing himself over to Neere in exchange for their freedom, feigning a hatred towards the Federation and other non-telepaths. Unfortunately his deceit was such that the crew of the Odyssey began to believe his statements and Becker was driven off the Odyssey, with Neere, to the PSS Terror – an experimental Underground vessel. Although this vessel was destroyed, the PSS Terror-A was launched with a new form of torpedo - the ‘quantum’ torpedo - capable of breaching the shields of Starfleet vessels. Despite his apparent defection, Becker was able to turn these weapons against the Underground themselves and destroyed the PSS Terror-A with himself and Ashka Neere on board. Or so the Odyssey crew was led to believe. 2377: Several weeks after the incident with the Terror, the Odyssey finds a badly damaged Underground shuttle near Romulan space and finds a single occupant onboard – Andrew Becker. He is reintegrated into the Odyssey crew, but not all goes smoothly when it is unveiled that Becker was brainwashed by Ashka Neere and he kills a number of the crew and injures several others. Following rehabilitation by the ships Counselor, Dr Locke, the charges against Becker are dropped and he resumes his position as the Chief Science Officer. He encounters Ashka Neere one last time to find out that she was pregnant with his child. She gives birth to a male infant who Andrew takes custody of and names William Becker Jr., after his father. William returns to the Odyssey with Andrew. Ashka Neere is presumed dead following this encounter and never seen again by Becker. 2380: Becker is promoted to Lieutenant Commander, and assumes the position of Second Officer on board the USS Odyssey. 2384: Following the destruction of the USS Odyssey, Becker accepts reassignment to the USS Tokyo, a Nova-class science vessel assigned to explore the region of space adjacent to the Romulan-Ee border. 2387: Following revelations regarding the Ee, Becker transfers to the newly commissioned Ee Research Institute on Earth. He leads the sciences department as lead researcher. He is reunited with Aran Zahne who is now a qualified doctor and xenobiologist attached to the research institute. 2390: When the Romulan home world is destroyed by the Ee, and the USS Redemption encounters the Ee-hybrid for the first time, Becker heads up a team to track and capture the hybrid. 2391: Becker and Zahne’s team is ambushed by the Ee-Hybrid, aka Ensign Sarah Kaminski. All the members of their team are killed by the hybrid, except for Becker and Zahne themselves. It is not long after this that Becker and Zahne meet Lieutenant Commander Rhyan who is also in pursuit of the hybrid. They combine their efforts with Rhyan’s sister Reanna onboard the Romulan Scout Vessel Esemar to track Sarah Kaminski and prevent her from finding the lost USS Redemption and its transwarp drive. |
