Personal History
Michael Winst was born in San Diego, California on Stardate 15902.14. He graduated from Star Fleet Academy’s Tactical Divison in the top 3% of his class. He was assigned as a tactical officer on the USS Carrera, DD-4037. He served on the ship for ten years, reaching the rank of lieutenant and achieving the Chief Tactical Officer position.
Later that year, he was recruited by Star Fleet’s Judge Advocate General Corps along with his best friend, Lieutenant Evan Cutler. They passed the Federation BAR Exam and were assigned to JAG HQ in Falls Church, VA and promoted to lieutenant commander. After reaching the rank of captain, Winst was chosen by the JAG herself, Admiral Kathryn Branis, to be the Staff Judge Advocate for Starbase Bravo. He is thought by many to be the next in line for office of the Judge Advocate General himself.
Since his assignment to the JAG Corps, he has been involved in numerous cases. One in particular stands out. Winst was kidnapped by Ja’rod, a Klingon spy who had infiltrated the JAG Corps. After assassinating a high-ranking Star Fleet official and murdering several innocent people, Ja’rod brought Winst back to the Klingon Empire where he was beaten and tortured for months. Michael managed to escape with the help of his good 'friend', Peter O’Malley.
On Stardate 20603.11 Admiral Branis reassigned Captain Winst to Starbase Alpha as the Staff Judge Advocate for the Sol Sector.
