Background:
Mike is an astrogator, a backwoods country boy who always had an interest in the stars, ever since he was little. He worked his way through college earning an Astronomy degree where he designed, built, and programmed a series of telescopes (hence the tecnician and computer skills) After graduating, he enrolled in Spacefleet as a way to actually get out and see space. Until his first year cruise as a cadet he had never been off planet in his life.

The nickname of "Stars" was given to him by a junior officer during his first year cruise as a cadet. An officer that would later be the captain of the ship on which Mike served his first full cruise after graduation from Spacefleet acadamy. As he related the story to a fellow crewman on that ship, it happened like this:

From the time he was a child, Morgan was always taking things apart. As he got older, he began putting them back togther again. As a teen he built his first robot from parts at the local salvage, winning a school contest as a result. As soon as he was old enough, he enrolled in Spacefleet and found his calling in life. Some tech experts are not so good with living beings, but Morgan was always a friendly, outgoing sort of person. As he continued in spacefleet, as his technical gifts and his personality gave him opportuities to excel and gain promotions. He takes his duties as a commander seriously, and studies leadership in order to be better in his role.

Background:

Born in the State of Carolina, his father Simon Forrest was a physician as well and his mother was a practicing psychologist. Augustus often joked that he never had a chance at any other career other than medicine. The family was well off and he was sent to private schools until he turned 14, he was then sent to a military school for four years and he fell in love with the idea of service. It was during this time that he learned to appreciate chess and the study of the martial arts, its also where he got his nickname Duke. Some instructor had told him that if he kept fighting that he would ruin his hands and never be a doctor, he replied in an exagerrated accent that he would keep his "dukes" up and if he couldn't be a doctor he would be one hell of a fighter. Well it stuck...

The service has become his family and he is never afraid to put himself in the frontlines nor is he worried about his own skin. He is comfortable talking to Navy brass or working off steam with the Marines if need be, he fondly remembers his days being attached to Marine Expeditionary Units and he is on very good terms with various members of the "other side" and is welcomed by them.

Ky Rojan was found with a handful of other Ganai explorers in a small settlement built around the ship wreck of their crashed starship on the mining planet of Black Rock. Ganai do not keep track of time in the same manner that humans do so determining his exact age has been near impossible. Ky has always gotten along well with humans so it was no real suprise that he left his home at the Forge Guild (Term for Ganai settlement) to join the Colonial Space Fleet cultural exchange program. Ky's entrance exams for the academy showed a promising apptitude for security and tactical operations and he excelled at these programs. Ky like his fellow Ganai has a keen perception for science and engineering but not a strong interest in pursuing these fields of study as an occupation or career. In the grand tradition of the Ganai Guardians in his family line, Ky always wanted to pursue work as a protector of others and so work as a secrutiy expert in the Colonial Space Fleet appealed to his interests and strong sense of duty. 

Commander Amelia Grant grew up in a military family stationed on the Cydonia Point orbital outpost in orbit above the Mars mining colony. Grant worked her way up from a rookie pilot to one of the most respected first officer candidates in the fleet. After serving three years as the first officer on the C.S.S. Intrepid under Captain Deckard, who is reputed to be one of the most demanding Captains in the Fleet, she accepted an assigment as a flight instructor at the Space Fleet Academy on Anchorage Station. Ever since her own days training, the Academy always held a special place in her heart which she calls home.

While working on Anchorage Station, Grant became aware of the voluntary mission to test the new Sol Hyperspace Gate and couldn't resist the urge to be in on this historical event.

A recent graduate of the Academy Clara is fresh faced and extremely proud of herself. Some would say too proud and see her as haughty. Clara is the fifth of seven children of farming parents from the Centaurus Colony. At a very early age she realized that harvesting the trees in the artificial habitat gardens was not the life she wanted and began to work on a career in space flight. After years of late nights studying alone she managed to earn a full scholarship to the Space Fleet Academy. Now a graduate she is thrilled to begin her new life in the deep reaches of space serving aboard a starship.

Growing up literally in the middle of nowhere and having spent what little free time she had studying has left her socially awkward and unsure of how to react to others especially those of other races. With her parents being strong supporters of the Centauran Separatists Movement's isolations philosophy the thought of possibly working along side alien races was both a source of curiosity and annxiety for the young officer. She encounterd both Xin and Ganai studying at the Academy but her course work seldom left her time to get to know anyone from either of these allied races. On the job she is the consummate professional, confident and skilled.

LT. Darius Stone grew up in an impoverished district of the Centaurus Colony. Looking for a better life with better opportunities Lt. Stone's family settled at the Colony while he was still an infant. Lt. Stone's Father was an experienced starship engineer and after serving ten years in Space Fleet he decided to ply his trade in the private sector at the Centaurus colony space docks. As technology progressed Lt. Stone's father found it harder and harder to get jobs as the engines he specialized in fell out of use and more and more alien based technology had found its way into contemporary spacecraft. This caused Stone's father to turn to the Centaurist Separatist Movement for support. While the Stone's were never directly associated with any of the known terrorists organizations affiliated with the Separatists Movement they were investigated several times. Darius sought to find a way out of his impoverished life style and found it through enlistment into the Space Fleet. Lt. Stone like his father had a solid aptitude as an engineer and after serving four years of exemplary service he was accepted into the Space Fleet Academy for Officer Training. Lt. Stone graduated top of his class and found his first assignment on the William Logan under Captain Dunn just before the ships scheduled refit. While Stone is well liked by his friends he does have a bit of chip on his shoulder and expresses a dislike for authority but grudgingly does as he is commanded. Lt. Stone developed a close relationship with his mentor Captain Dunn who tolerated the inconsistent attitude becuase of Stone's proven track record of getting results in the Engine Room. Stone is also a physically imposing man who is known to enjoy extreme contact sports and physical labor.

Ensign Shadak is part of an Edon cultural exchange program as part of the Sol Hyperspace Gate project. Like most Edon she prefers to be left alone and is considered by many to be a tactless snob and anti-social. As part of the cultrual exchange program Edon officers were sent through an abreviated Space Fleet Academy program and assigned to various ships in the fleet to experience life and work amongst humans and the their allies. While Shadak has been commended for her ability to work in such a unpleasant social environment by Edon standards she is well tolerated by her ship mates on the Logan. However, she has been given the luxury of her own quarters and separate workspace which is a source of minior irritation for her crew mates as individual workspace and quarters are always a valuable commodity aboard a starship.
