Summary

Captain Trevenan Williams is a veteran of the Dominion War. Having commenced his career with Starfleet Security (before taking the Command career pathway) Trevenan Williams has served Bravo Fleet throughout several conflicts that have challenged the peace and stability of the United Federation.

A man forged in conflict, now dedicated to the furtherance of peace – Captain Williams represents a dying breed of Starfleet Officers who straddle markedly different eras of expansionism and isolationism and is firmly of the conviction that the United Federation of Planets is doomed to stagnation and decline should they not renew Starfleet’s mandate to reach beyond the established borders and resume the mission of exploration and discovery.

 

Appearance

Standing 6ft tall, Captain Trevenan Williams is a human male in his early 50’s. With a weathered complexion and greying hair, he is a man whose lifetime of experience in Starfleet are writ plainly in the lines of his face – but somehow this veteran officer manages to retain a spark of vivacity in his grey – blue eyes.

As the Commanding Officer of a Starfleet vessel, Williams expects all on – duty crew to adhere to the Starfleet Uniform Code and holds himself to the same rigorous standard of dress and deportment.

Off duty, he tends towards clothing in a casual style, often something as understated as a nice sweater – comfortable yet stylish.

Personality

Trevenan Williams is an officer of long experience and not a man given to rash decisions or displays of uncontrolled emotion. As a former Security then Tactical officer, he is measured and controlled when it comes to evaluating and responding to threats, but when the decision leads to the application of violent response – he will do so expediently but is a passionate advocate for peace and always seeks a diplomatic solution to a problem over force.

A cultured man he has an avid passion for history & archeology, correctly reasoning that the lessons of the past should always inform the future. He is an accomplished cook and values the opportunity to entertain friends and officers under his command, making it a point to dine with his XO and Senior Department Officers at least once a month – knowing that more can be achieved around a good meal and bottle of wine, that can sometimes be determined by the operations roster.

As a CO, Williams is wholly dedicated to the safety and wellbeing of his crew, knowing that it is a commander’s lot to stand alone and make hard decisions for the overall safety of his ship and the people under his care. That said he values the life and individual potential of all of his people and is not one to gamble their lives on a whim.

History

Of mixed Cornish & Welsh heritage, it was unsurprising that Trevenan Williams was born to a family with a long history of mining – with both parents engaged in the Orbital Extractive Industry. Accordingly, Trevenan was raised on Elgatis Refinery and spent his formative years adapting to the harsh and often dangerous realities of life within the Elgatis Asteroid Belt and the wider Archanis Sector.

Trevenan aspired to be more than an Asteroid Miner and was painfully aware of the often – brutal realities of dwelling so close to Klingon space. Hence, he applied to join Starfleet and was accepted into Starfleet Academy. With an aptitude for physical education and risk – taking (the inevitable legacy of being a miner’s child) and a sound grounding in Applied Geology and Chemistry – Trevenan Williams found his stride as a Cadet and flourished at the Academy – opting to pursue a career through the Starfleet Security Faculty and graduating with a Commission as an Ensign in 2372

As fate would have it, this marked the commencement of War between the Klingon Empire and the Federation with the Empire’s annexation of his home in the Archanis Sector and young Ensign Williams experienced his first hard lesson in duty and service when he was assigned to the newly formed 4th Fleet and instead posted to the Saber – class Escort USS Kusanagi and deployed to serve in the Dominion War instead.

With the United Federation of Planets engages on multiple fronts against the Klingons, Cardassian Union & Dominion and even a Major incursion by the Borg at the Battle of Sector 001 – the Starfleet ideal of peaceful exploration, science and diplomacy seemed a distant concept as young Ensign Williams and the crew of the Kusanagi did their part to desperately stem the rising tide of War. Trevenan became one of the first generation of Starfleet personnel to undergo the formulative tactical training that would one day eventuate in what is known universally accepted as the Hazardous Situation Response Team doctrine.

With the USS Kusanagi suffering heavy – damage and having to return to Spacedock for major – repairs, Trevenan (newly promoted to the rank of Lt (Jg)), applied for a transfer to the Norway – class Light – Cruiser USS Kennedy to replace several crewmembers fallen in combat – serving as Chief Security Officer – despite his relatively young age. The attrition of Starfleet’s best and brightest making this sort of brevet – appointment an unfortunate (but commonplace) occurrence.

Trevenan Williams remained with the USS Kennedy through to the conclusion of the Dominion War and was determined to switch to a Command career – track, this he returned to the Academy to undertake Bridge Officer Conversion Training – re-qualifying as a Tactical Officer.

Lt (Sg) Williams was assigned as a Tactical Officer aboard the Akira – class Heavy Cruiser USS Ticonderoga. Initially a period of tenuous peace saw the USS Ticonderoga patrolling the borders of Federation Space as Trevenan slowly came to grips with his new role and began to put the horrors of the Dominion War behind him. Conflict, however, was to shatter this fragile peace as a brief, but bloody conflict erupted between the Federation and the Pakled and he was once again drawn into the crucible of War.

As a Lieutenant Commander, Trevenan progressed to serve as 2nd Officer and Chief Tactical Officer aboard the USS Ticonderoga and the remainder of his tour aboard was dedicated to the provision of humanitarian aid and peacekeeping operations during the dissolution of the Romulan Star Empire and subsequent destruction of Romulus.

By 2391, Trevenan had arisen to the rank of Commander and had attained the position of Executive Officer aboard the Sovereign – class Exploratory Cruiser USS Providence, hoping to finally realize his dream of becoming a true explorer, but once again was overshadowed by the relentlessness of War. This time Commander Williams and the crew of the Providence were enmeshed in the chaotic destruction of the Xavier Fleet Staryards by the Sovereignty of Kahless – barely escaping intact and joining with forces from the Klingon Empire during Operation: Gatecrasher, to wrest back control of those worlds invaded by the Sovereignty.

In 2396, Trevenan was promoted to the rank of Captain and finally received a command of his own – becoming the CO of the Emissary Obena- class USS Artemis – a prestigious command that saw Captain Williams and his crew finally realize his dream of ceding peace from ashes of War on a 5-year deployment to foster diplomatic relations and provide humanitarian aid along the Former Demilitarized Zone with the Cardassian Union.

In 2401 – Captain Williams transferred to duty with Bravo Fleet Command and assumed the role of Executive Officer, the Commanding Officer with Task Force 72.

2402 saw William stand down from the role of TFCO, assuming command of the Lamarr – class Long range Explorer vessel, USS Vega. Tasked with a 5 – year voyage of science and diplomacy, Captain Williams and his crew are hand – picked to establish Starfleet’s renewed efforts to engage with the disparate people of the Gamma Quadrant that have been left rudderless with the withdrawal of the Dominion to within the borders of their territory.
