Starfleet Biography

In 1994 there was a Star Trek fan club that was forming in December of 1994. So I went to the meeting and liked what I heard and joined Starfleet in January of 1995. During the next year I served as Chief of Operations. In January of 1996, with the resignation of our Chief of Communication Officer, I took over our newsletter and I am still the publisher. In June of 1996 our Commanding Officer stepped down and I became the Commanding Officer. We won "Shuttle of the Year" in Region One in 1996. I have completed Officer Training school and Officer Command College. In November of 1996 our shuttle was commissioned as a Star Ship. The Star Ship USS Providencea Gemini Class Exploratory Cruiser. I have been to several Region One Summits and International Conferences.

Starfleet is divided into Regions and when I heard about a new department in Region One called the Alien Ambassador Corps (ACC), I applied for the RDC (Regional Department Chief). Even though I wasn't selected as RDC, I am very glad to be the Maquis Ambassador to the ACC in region one Starfleet. I served as R1 Quartermaster in 2001 and 2002 and was RDC of Computer Operations (CompOps) from 2002 to 2004. During the election for R1 Regional Coordinator in 2004, I was asked to be the Senior Captains/Section Reps Program Director and I accepted.

MidSouth Squadron

I am the Vice-Commander for the MidSouth Squadron. The MidSouth Squadron consist of the following Starships of the Region 1, Sector 1, Mid-South Area of patrol: USS Aeon, USS Mark Twain, USS Providence, USS Legend SS Nikola Tesla, USS Questar(Honorary Member) The purpose of The MidSouth Squadron is to act as a central point for the gathering of information to be distributed to each of the member Starships pertaining to news and events each ship has, to coordinate gathering of members of the Ships of the Squadron, if needed, and to establish a more formal tie between these Starship.

Maquis Biography

I decided to be a Maquis during my second year in Starfleet and about the time Voyager started on TV. The Marquis intrigued me and there's not a lot of information. I am like the Maquis on Voyager that work together with Starfleet personal. I also belong to UFA (United Fandom Association), IFC (International Fandom Council) and CTF (CyberTrek Force).

I joined Maquis Forces International in June of 1998. I was promoted to Commodore on January 25, 1999.

I head up a new department within the Coordinator Council that was formed in January 1999. The department is called the Maquis Diplomatic Corps. I was appointed to be the Zone 2 Coordinator in 2003.

Persona Biography

Last, I would like to give you my Bio on my persona. My name is Tigri K'Tel born 2347 in the colony at Setlik III. We escaped the massacre at Setlik and settled on a new colony on New Providence. I was admitted to Starfleet Academy and graduated in the year 2367 and served aboard the USS Fearless NCC 14598 for 4 years. My parents left New Providence one year before the Borg attacked and settled at the colony on Dorvon V. My parents were outraged by the massacre on Setlik III in 2347, where several family members and friends were killed by Cardassians. They joined the Maquis movement and was a part of the Maquis Rebels that destroyed the Cardassian freighter Bok'nor, which occurred at Deep Space 9 in 2370. My parents were killed by the Federation in what I learned later was an accidental shooting. Being bitter towards the Federation and the Cardassians, I resigned from Starfleet and joined the Maquis in 2371. I was on the Raider that was commanded by Chakotay. Needless to say you know what happens next. Yes, the Badlands. Next thing I knew we were on Voyager. Here's where my bitterness turned sweet. I learned that Starfleet and Maquis can work side by side given we put away our own prejudices. I spent 2 years in the Delta Quadrant before some anomaly transported me back to the Alpha Quadrant. I am patroling in the area known as Jackson Tennessee promoting Star Trek Fandom.

Personal Biography

I was born and raised in Lexington, Ky. I have two older sisters who are twins and one older brother. My mom is still living in Lexington along with my siblings (my father is deceased). I'm happily married to the former Audrey L. Hudson; we have two wonderful kids (Kalyn and Harrison), and one on the way (will hopefully arrive in October of this year). I started college at the University of Ky studying mechanical engineering but finished at Tennessee State University in Nashville in 12/87. I came to Jackson in February of 1988 and began working for Procter & Gamble - Pringles. Ten years later, I'm still working for P&G, and supporting Pringles (thankfully). I've been involved in Starfleet since March of 1994 when we first began acting on the dream of establishing a starship here. I'm now serving as the first officer of the USS Providence. In other community affairs...I'm a member of West Bemis Missionary Baptist Church. I serve as chairman of the trustees, treasurer, teach Sunday School, and am training to become a deacon. I'm the immediate past president of the Boys & Girls Club of Jackson Board of Directors, I'm president-elect of the Junior Achievement Board of Directors-Jackson/Madison Co. I teach an aerobics class three times a week at the T. R. White Sportsplex. I'm leading several masonic organizations...serving as High Priest of the Lane Chapter #16, Royal Arch Masons, Illustrious Potentate, Zarah Temple #151, Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and District Deputy Grand Master for Districts 1, 8 & 11, Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge-State of Tennessee. I'll stop there. I've also earned my masters degree from the University of TN, while working full time. I'm currently working to earn my Ph.d in industrial systems engineering from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I have about 1 year left to go...I'll invite everyone if the Lord sees fit for me to graduate. Bored yet? I am, so I'll stop there (even though I could go on). Don't ask me how I do it; I give all credit, praise and glory to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. I also could not manage to do so much without my loving wife, Audrey. She has been and continues to be extremely patient and supportive.

Personal Biography

My name is Audrey Lynne Hudson French. I was born and reared in Louisville, Kentucky. I attended the public schools there and graduated from Atherton High School in 1981. That Fall, I started at the University of Kentucky on an academic scholarship. Although my dream of becoming a Physical Therapist did not materialize during my time there, I did manage to get something good out of the experience---Karl W. French.

fter I left the university, I attended Roy's Of Louisville Beauty Academy and became a hairstylist in 1985. I was still happily dating Karl at the time. In the fall of 1990, he became my better half. I moved to Jackson in 1991 and I have been working at Martha's Salon ever since. Karl and I have been blessed with two beautiful children and in October, we will become parents for the third time.

I was never much of a "Trekkie", but Karl was so into Star Trek and everything surrounding it, that it just kind of rubbed off. When he and Carolyn Pate first started talking about getting a group together, I thought it would be another great way for us to have some fun together, so I tagged along to the meetings and the more I went , the more interested I became. The rest is history, and now I stand before you, the Second Officer of the U.S.S. Providence.

Starfleet Biography

I joined Starfleet in 1990 and was a member of the Cape Girardeau chapter for 6 months. I moved to Los Angeles for a new job and served with the LA chapter for 6 months. Then I moved to Houston where I commanded a KAG (Klingon Assault Group) chapter for 3 years. In 2000, I rejoined Starfleet and served as Chief Medical Officer of the USS Spiritwolf in Houston. Then, I transfered to the USS Aurora Vulcanus (correspondence chapter) due to being unable to participate in any activities. I was out of work, so I moved back to my hometown of Kennett, Missouri, in 2002. Getting back on my feet, I searched for a nearby chapter and found the USS Providence, transfering to it in 2003. I am a graduate of Starfleet's Officer Training school and Officers Command College.

Persona Biography

Being a country doctor in a small Missouri town on the planet Earth, I was recruited by Starfleet to help fill vacancies caused by the many conflicts the Federation had been involved in over the years, most notably the 1st Borg war. I served aboard the USS Lexington with the Medical Staff for three years. Then I was given the opportunity to serve with the Imperial Klingon Battle Cruiser K'pok during an exchange of crew personnel. After a brief tour of duty, I requested permanent assignment just as the Dominion War was beginning. The K'pok served valiantly in several battles, and my on-the-job training in Klingon medicine earned many awards from the Klingon High Command. I returned to Starfleet aboard the USS Spiritwolf and saw action in the 2nd Borg war. I requested to be transfered to the USS Providence to fill their vacant CMO position, where I now serve with the finest crew in Starfleet.

Persona Biography

I was born on Earth to a human father and a Betazoid mother. That makes me half human and half betazoid. My father was a Starfleet Diplomat and my mother was a betazoid diplomat who, when she married my father, joined Starfleet Diplomatic Corps. I grew up in different places of the Galaxy because my parents mission in life was for their offspring to see how other beingslived and to try to find a place where we could all fit in. I was born in the year of 2363. Our family traveled so much that we never really got close to a lot of people. When I turned 21 in the year 2384, I joined Starfleet. I decided that it was time for me to try and settle down and stay at one place for a while. When I graduated two years later, my first assignment was a job aboard the USS Nolinck. It was one of the greatest ship I ever served on. We are a peace seeking ship. It is used by Diplomats to seek resolution by warring factions. I served aboard the ship for 10 years until I made a transfer to another great ship the USS Providence. There I met my husband, who was the Chief of Engineering.

Persona Biography

Steve Marks

Born: Earth Date September 24, 2355 Location: San Antonio, North America Parents: Father; Human/Vulcan, Mother; Human Raised: Between Vulcan and Earth

Interests include Holodeck programing, card games of chance, Astro Physics and Stellar Cartography with degrees in the last two.

Status: Single

My father is the offspring of a human father and a vulcan mother and my mother is human. This produced strong agressive emotions in me. I trained on Vulcan in an attempt to curb my violent emotional instincts, and was mostly successful. I completed my first year at the Vulcan Academy of Sciences, but was expelled for streaking thru a prominent lecture as payment of a lost wager in a card game. My Mother's status as ambassador opened the door to Star Fleet Academy, where I went on to graduate with honors, finishing second in my class. The only legacy of my Vulcan heritage being rank emotionalism/romanticism and strong telepathy along with an innate understanding of LOGIC.

After graduation, I was allowed time on Betazed to develop emotional responses to my telepathy, something I was not allowed to pursue on Vulcan. After two years, I was assigned to the U.S.S. Rutledge and served on her for 18 months. I was then transferd to the U.S.S. Providence where I currently serve as acting Science Officer.

I don't have pointed ears, although they do crinkle, and I no longer play poker.

Motto: Love is not always logical.
