| Background | As the son of a pair of starfleet security officers it was only natural that Daniel would enter starfleet and the moment he was old enough that is exactly what he did, in early 2371. With the dominion cold war starting slightly more emphasis was put on security and tactical training in preparation for if the war turned hot. Which only 2 years later it did. To begin with everything at the academy remained quite normal but there was a definite atmosphere of tension, most of the graduates would be going straight to the frontlines. With the losses sustained by the federation it was decided after a heavily opposed vote that in early 2374 several batches of high performing senior year cadets would be graduated earlier than they should be and immediately assigned to starships. Daniel was one of those. Assigned to the USS Exeter he fought in 2 of the 3 disastrous counter attacks attempting to retake Betazed from the dominion. After repairs the Exeter was assigned to one of the several fleets assigned to take the Chin’toka system, having survived the Cardassian orbital defence platforms Daniel was part of several starfleet away teams that were to support the Klingon and Romulan ground forces. Daniel and his team fought several engagements against both Cardassian and Jem’hadar forces, during a dominion counter attack he was slashed across the shoulder and chest by a bayonet, his attacker was quickly killed by another member of the team but as he crawled to safety he was shot in the back by a jem’hadar disruptor. Miraculously he survived and after the counter attack was beaten back he was taken aboard a medical ship and amongst countless others withdrawn to a safer sector to recover. During his 2 months of recovery and medical leave Daniel learned that his parents ship the USS Albatross had been destroyed and both his parents were assumed to be Kia. After his leave was over he was assigned to the USS Ardent and fought across the various warfronts until the battle of Cardassia. Following the end of the war and the rebuilding efforts Daniel served on several ships earning a promotion to junior and then full Lieutenant and a rise in posting to assistant chief of security on the USS Broadsword. Less than a week after his promotion to Lieutenant commander he was offered the position of chief security officer aboard the Norway class USS Fenrir. |
