Aiden Wright

# Biography

## Starfleet Academy and Early Career

Aiden Wright grew up not too far from the old NASA Johnson Space Center and spent his childhood idolizing the Astronauts of the mid-twentieth century. It was the heroism of those first space pioneers and a passion for technology that inspired him to apply to Starfleet Academy. He was accepted to the Academy in 2396 where he elected to specialize in the engineering and ship design. He also made a life long friend of 3rd year cadet Joran Romar. The two roomed together for the next two years.

In 2399 with the Klingon Empire withdrawing from the Khitomer Accords and the prospect of war in the Federation's near future Wright chose to change his specialty to tactical and command. He had to work extra hard his last year at the Academy to make up for his change in specialty and still graduate on time but it turned out to be a fortuitous move as he proved to be a natural leader and skilled tactician.

## Service Record

In 2400 he gradated from the Academy with top marks and was assigned to the U.S.S. Missouri NCC-872276. Wright served aboard the Missouri as a Junior Tactical Officer for 4 years steadily climbing the ranks until he was promoted to full Lieutenant in 2404 and transferred to the U.S.S. Odin NCC-94027.

In 2405 when the Klingons invaded the Federation Colonies in the Hromi Cluster the Odin was ordered into the fray. Wright managed to truly distinguish himself when the Odin and a refugee convoy were ambushed by a Klingon task force. Taking command of the Odin's bridge when the Captain was incapacitated Wright managed to hold off the Klingons long enough for most of the refugees to escape before withdrawing himself. For his courage and quick thinking in saving the refugees Wright was awarded the Starfleet medal of valor and promoted to Lieutenant Commander.

In 2406 Wright, now the Odin's First Officer, saw further action in the Archanis Sector as the war with the Klingon Empire went into full swing.

In 2408 Wright was promoted to Commander and transferred away from the front lines (after a successful yet costly covert operation against a KDF experimental weapons research base) and stationed at the Utopia Planetia ship yards. Due to his extensive tactical knowledge, familiarity with engineering and ship design he was tasked with helping develop new vessels for the war effort.

In 2413 Wright was given command of an advanced prototype ship he helped design, the U.S.S. Caspian (NX-93000). The Caspian was a modified Cerberus Class vessel which was being used as a testbed for the latest in Starfleet technology. Her design incorporated regenerative nanite technology based partially on Borg designs, a cutting edge subspace jump drive and a greatly enhanced multi-vector assault mode.

In 2414, Wright along with many of his fellow officers formerly of the 26th were swept up in the aftermath of the activation of the Looking Glass Installation. Reassigned to the newly formed Zenas Expeditionary Force Wright and crew help the displaced resident species of the Outback adjust to life in the Milky Way and settle into the Zenas Expanse. Later in 2414 the Caspian completed her testing and was ordered back to the yards for assessment and dismantling. Captain Wright was offered command of the newly constructed U.S.S. Odin NCC-94027-A, the successor to the ship he had first served aboard as First Officer.

After completing a series of deep space exploratory missions in the Zenas Expanse Captain Wright, the Odin and her crew have been reassigned to the 26th Fleet.

# Personal Life
