Stacy Adams

**Stacy Adams** is a Captain of the United Federation of Planets Starfleet. She commands the U.S.S. Ark Royal, the second ship to bear the name under her command, following the destruction of the previous *Roosevelt* at the hands of rogue elements of the Kingdom of Cevant at the end of 2417. She has served most of her life in Starfleet, first serving as a helm officer on the USS *John Paul Jones*, NCC-102210, then later ascending to command that same ship during the Klingon War. During the Iconian War, she served as commanding officer of the USS *John Paul Jones*, NCC-102210-A, taking part in the majority of the 26th Fleet’s engagements against the Herald Forces.

Following the destruction of the U.S.S. Roosevelt-B, Captain Adams and the majority of her surviving crew were transferred to the 26th Fleet Flagship, U.S.S. Reprisal. In Late 2420, she was removed from command due to mental trauma and voluntarily took up counselling. After being cleared for active duty again, she was given command of the freshly launcher U.S.S. Ark Royal, and assigned back to the Outback.

# Early Life

Born in Marlow on Earth, 5th May, 2383, to Lieutenant Commanders Stephany and Hadrian Adams, from the time she could walk Stacy was surrounded by Starfleet, accompanying her parents on the *Magellan*, *Yamaguchi* and later, the USS *Galaxy*, it is unsurprising to learn that she joined Starfleet at the age of 18. While her parents were engineers, however, Stacy studied to become a helm officer graduating 3rd in her Class, and earning a position as Helmswoman of a *Defiant*-class, USS *John Paul Jones*.

# Taking Command

On stardate 86876.26, while serving as the Chief Helmswoman and Tactical Officer of the USS *John Paul Jones*, the ship was attacked by a *Vor’Cha*-class cruiser. Striking almost as soon as it decloaked, the opening barrage killed Commander William Johnson and severely wounded the Executive Officer, Lieutenant Commander Daniella Martinez.

As Second Officer, Adams took command of the ship, while still piloting the vessel, and brought the crew under control. Over a period of 19 hours, with several hit and run attacks from asteroid fields, the *John Paul Jones* run the enemy vessel off, before making course for Starbase 12 for repairs. While at Starbase 12, Lieutenant Adams was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and assigned permanent command of the ship. At the same time, a rather plain man in a suit approached Lieutenant Commander Adams with a proposal...

# Prisoner of War

Stardate 89284.48, Lieutenant Commander Adams and her ship, the *John Paul Jones*, were detected deep in Klingon Space, orbiting Archanis IV. *John Paul Jones* cloaked and warped back to Federation Space, on the orders of Commander Adams, but Adams was captured on the planet surface. Undergoing a similar trial to that of Admiral Kirk, Adams was found guilty, and thrown into Rura Penthe.

Adams spent 12 days on Rura Penthe, tortured and abused by the Klingon guards, before MACO forces deployed from the orbiting *John Paul Jones* stormed the prison with orbital support, rescuing the Commander and warping back to Starbase 12. Following the rescue, Starfleet stopped using Commander Adams and the *John Paul Jones* for behind-the-lines operations, and the *John Paul Jones* was re-assigned to Starbase 234.

# 26th Fleet and the Outback

Stardate 92761.19 Lieutenant Commander Adams and the *John Paul Jones* were transferred from Starbase 234 to Starbase 381 *"Praetorian"*, 26th Fleet, under the purview of Task Force Avalon, Captain T’Molina. Shortly after the transfer, Adams and her command crew were transferred to the USS *Ajax*, an *Akira*-class cruiser, and a more capable multi-mission platform, with *John Paul Jones* slated for decommissioning. In a surprising turn of events, Lieutenant Commander Adams was given special dispensation to rename *Ajax* to USS *John Paul Jones*, NCC-102210-A, likely following influence from her mother, Rear Admiral Stephany Adams, 6th Fleet. During the Iconian War, *John Paul Jones* and Lieutenant Commander Adams would continue to see combat, in both classified and non-classified operations, and would be awarded with the Starfleet Cross, a Bronze Star, and two Christopher Pike Medals of Valor.

## Post War Period

Shortly after the war, Lieutenant Commander Adams was put forward for consideration to promotion to the rank of Commander, with the sponsorship of Captain Ackerman, USS *Chin’toka*. Following a simulation, she was promoted to Commander by Captain Jyana Kai, and shortly after, transferred with her senior staff to the *Excelsior*-class, Block 3 vessel, USS *Churchill*, for duty as her Commanding Officer, relieving Captain Lori Alan.

Following the decomissioning of the USS *Churchill*, Adams was transferred to the USS *Roosevelt*, *Galaxy*-class, as her commanding Officer.

# Promotion to Captain

On Stardate 95258.56, Commander Adams, in a ceremony attended by multiple officers, was promoted to the rank of Captain by Rear Admiral K'Vek, Commanding Officer, Task Force Avalon.

# Personal Life

Commander Adams was recently engaged to Commander K’Meiuu M’Rella, USS *Tavistock*, formerly of the 38th Fleet and now a fellow officer in the 26th, after a proposal witnessed by Cadet Lareth. On 14th October, 2416, Commander Adams married Commander M'Rella in a ceremony aboard Starbase 381, in a ceremony officiated by Rear Admiral Amalei Neraea.

She keeps most of her personal life private, but she maintains friendly relations with her superior Officers, Rear Admiral Amalei Neraea, Captains' Jyana Kai and T’Molina, along with Lieutenant Commander William ‘Mac’ McDonald and Lieutenant Commander Caelan Hartman.
