Jason Isker

Lt. Jason Isker is the Chief Operations Officer on the USS Odyssey.

## Background

Jasons comes from a family of Betazed immigrants who choose to live on Earth (special reasons). He grew up in the outskirts of san francisco and developed an early fondness of space due to his parents taking him with them on their journeys very often. His mother worked at Starfleet Headquarters while his dad was stationed on a miranda class ship, the USS Triton. As Jason turned 11 the wolf 359 massacre happened. The USS Triton was destroyed while trying to defend the starbase, no one survived. 6 years later he applied to starfleet academy and focused his efforts on pursuing a career as a communications officer. His academy time went past without major problems, but his emphatic powers began to grow so he had to undergo additional training on betazed which extended his academy stay. He graduated as one of the top 30 in his field in 2374, in the midst of the dominion war. He was stationed on a centaur class ship, the USS Hermes which acted as a front line transporter. In 2375 the ship was ambushed by dominion forces near bajor. During the battle the captain died and the first officer was wounded. Due to the lack of options Jason took command of the ship and brought the ship to safety, but the ship was lost, the damage too high. After that he went back to earth to undergo proper command and tactical training to broaden his horizon in case it was ever necessary again. He was stationed on a nova class ship, the USS Horizon at the romulan neutral zone where they had to fight off a few tal shiar incursions since they saw that the federation was weakened. He remained a vital part of the ship till the new assignment to the USS Endeavour. He served on the ship for 6 years until it was decommissioned due to age and damage and was then separated from the Crew due to some trouble with his files as his past catched up to him. When he was free for assignments again he was sent on a over the span of 20 years to 6 different ships until he was fatally wounded in combat with a klingon. It was a rare neurotoxin that the federation couldn't cure before it would have destroyed his body. So he was put in stasis until they had found a way to save his life. Time passed as he was put out of stasis 20 years later by starfleet intelligence, more precise section 31 due to his track record and skills. They cured him from the poison and brought him up to speed as he was right in the middle of the iconian war now. He took part in a few missions, retained his rank and helped behind the lines and in the shadows to find a way to stop the iconians. Until he made one mistake. He was on a mission to investigate iconian interest in a colony that so far hasn't been destroyed. The colony was a sort of experiment for purging strategies as it seemed, but there were still enough alive to be saved. The captain of the Specter, the ship Jason was on, wanted to observe the experiment to learn while Jason tried to argue with him to save the colony. He only got laughed at and escorted by a few guards to let him cool his head, which lit a fuse in him. He took out the guards, shot the XO and then took over transporter controls to beam the entire crew out into space while he beamed the survivors of the colony on board and made a run for it to the nearest federation station. He quickly found himself in a room full of Admirals which all knew they couldn't just throw a hero out of Starfleet cause he stopped a captain of an organization that officially didn't exist. The entire incident was classified, he was demoted and put under house arrest on earth in a secure location until everything was over. When the war ended he applied again to Starfleet who would allow him to be assigned again, but warned him that next time he will not be this lucky. He then was assigned to the USS Odyssey, a new Starship with a 10 year assignment to the Delta Quadrant.
