Changes

|Affiliation=United Federation of Planets

William Hudson was born on June 19 on Turkana IV. It was not the ideal place for William, nor for any young child to be raised. William’s parents were deeply drawn in the Alliance, a local gang on the planet. As such, by the age of five, William was taking care of himself while his parents were engaged against the Coalition. Luckily, William had no brothers or sisters. During his first years, William learned very little academic topics, but instead was educated in fighting and the propaganda of the Alliance. William did not like what his life was, but he never had any inclination that anyone had a life that was any different until he was fourteen. When William turned fourteen, a Federation starship contacted the Coalition attempting to look for a place to refuel. The Alliance offered assistance in exchange for a number of weapons. The starship agreed, and allowed William his first look at what life was like outside his bubble.

<h3> Escape From Home </h3>

After he came to the decision, William began to think about leaving Turkana, the only home he had ever known. After a long time, William had a plan. He was going to escape to the surface and produce enough wreckage from below decks that it looked like a ship had wrecked. He would scavenge a transponder and use it to send out a help signal.

<h3> Escape’s Fruition </h3>

His first days on the Hokaiido were stressful, spending most of his time in the brig for falsely calling a Federation Starship. Though many regarded William with a striking amusement, the Captain took an interest in the young man. After a couple of days, William was released from the brig and given into the Captain’s custody. Many inquiries followed about William. Star Fleet was not clear about taking him from the planet, whether or not it was permitted, but as William argued fiercely for his case, the Captain of the Hokaiido caved and took him in as a yeoman. Finally, things seemed to be falling young William’s way.

<h3> The Academy and Soon After </h3>

At eighteen, Bear disembarked the Hokaiido at Starbase Alpha and headed towards his new life at the Academy.

He already passed the entrance examination with flying colors, and had tentatively chosen to study his primary areas at the Star Fleet Tactics Academy. A notable place where he felt he would be able to put his skills to good use. Another motivation for choosing Star Fleet Tactical was that Captain Thorpe was a trained tactician. There he prospered, taking many historical classes, getting a background feel for ship warfare, tactics, flying and everything in between. One had to be versatile in tactics, and Bear was just that. Bear wasn’t just interested in tactics though, he also took other classes trying to incorporate his tactical knowledge with that of other areas. His instructors were amused, but Bear didn’t care, he was going to be a truly interdisciplinary tactical officer.

<h3> First Assignments </h3>

Four years later, he graduated from the Academy. Fresh with ideas of service, and his mind full of Star Fleet tactics and theory. He headed off to his first assignment, the USS Iroquois, a very small, but steady ship which Bear was quickly transferred from. It was not demeritous, but quite the opposite. Bear was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade, and assigned to the USS Mendel, a much bigger scientific vessel under the command of the former first officer of the Hokaiido. Bear was overjoyed, and went to work. During the next few years, flourished in the field at the Mendel. Just before the war, Star Fleet decided to reorganize their fleet, transferring off many of the senior officers of some science vessels. Bear was transferred to the USS Gettysburg as a Lieutenant and head of the tactics division.

<h3> [[USS Gettysburg, BC-1863]] </h3>

Though he had left his former family, Bear quickly found that he had a new home. Life was not perfect at the start though. Bear was not used to not being in charge of his department, and although he was in charge of the tactics division in the tactical department, he still had to report to the Department Head in the department.

<h3> [[USS Nova, BB-106]] </h3>

Once back from their journey, the Gettysburg crew was unofficially disbanded. Bear, as a part was removed from his assignment on the Gettysburg and placed on pending assignment and transferred to Starbase Alpha for a shore leave. Bear did not have a restful shoreleave though. Among the stresses of finding a new assignment, Bear also received a message from one of his former childhood acquaintances on Turkana. The odd thing about this was, that there was absolutely no way that anyone from Bear’s youth should know where he was. Bear intended for the people on the surface to assume he was dead.

<h3> [[USS Philadelphia, FF-6053]] </h3>

Soon after the Philadelphia arrived, Bear began to see some changes. First, an announcement that Commander Yvette, soon to be Captain Yvette was taking control of the Philadelphia. Much to his surprise, in a meeting, [[Aloysia Yvette| Aloysia]] offered him a position as her First Officer. Thrilled, Bear immediately accepted, transferring to the Philadelphia with a handful of crew, including [[Trisandra Lunanova]] and [[Maya Redding]].

As the ships were evacuated, the senior officers of the ships decided that the Philadelphia would land on the surface to protect and give asylum to the neos. Additionally, a research team from the Peagsus and Philadelphia would work on the issues. The Philly landed and sent it’s away team, but was forced to return to orbit after finding out very, very little information.
