Captain Leo LaCroix

Captain Leo LaCroix was the commanding officer of the Federation starship USS Amazon Queen. He assumed command of the Amazon Queen for her maiden voyage to the Erakis System. The Federation president, the Federation Council, and Starfleet Command saw LaCroix off on his maiden voyage to the Erakis System. What LaCroix did not know was that the Amazon Queen had only lifepods for half the crew aboard. When the Amazon Queen approached the Erakis system, she hit a mine. "Damage report!" yelled Captain LaCroix. "Critical hit, Captain! Engineering section!" replied the chief engineer. "We are venting drive plasma! Warp core breach is imminent!" Captain LaCroix said "Send a distress call!" The communications officer sent out a distress call. Then Captain LaCroix ordered the lifepods launched. His first officer replied "There's only enough lifepods for half the crew aboard, Captain!" So half of the crew went into the lifepods and the other half stayed aboard the ship. The USS Amazon Queen exploded with Captain LaCroix and half the crew still on board. The remaining half of the crew were rescued by the USS Enterprise NCC-1701, under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. The Federation held an inquiry about this incident and ruled that no Federation starship should leave Spacedock without all of her escape pods.
