Helen Beckett is currently an educational administrator for the Starfleet starbase of Deep Space Five and the Federation colony of New Kashmir. A qualified schoolteacher, she devoted most of her time during the Borg War towards aid work for the support of planets harmed by the conflict or relocated refugees. A previous University Chancellor on Earth, she has come to the Algedi System due to the reassignment of her husband, Edward Beckett, as DS5's Commanding Officer.

Physical Appearance: Helen Beckett has aged fairly well and is in good shape for a woman in her early fifties. An active lifestyle that has often been quite physically demanding has kept her fit and in good health, a lifetime spent in education and study has kept her mind bright and alert. She is fairly tall for a woman, with long blonde hair tied back and out of the way, and is often wearing a broad, pleasant smile. But that can turn to a glare and a commanding presence just as quickly, and she has been known to silence a room of Starfleet officers as effectively as any room of school-children.

Uncle: Vice-Admiral (retired) Brandon MacKenzie (81)

Further Details
Helen MacKenzie and Edward Beckett have known each other since their childhood, for after the death of his parents he was the ward of her uncle, Brandon MacKenzie. Due to arguments in the MacKenzie family the two were never close, though, and often outright hostile. They only got to know each other personally by chance and an intervention, as in the late 2370s the USS Atlantis was assigned to help in the rebuilding efforts on Cardassia Prime, and schoolteacher Helen MacKenzie went out as a volunteer to work there. In adulthood the hostility remained, though there was an undercurrent of fondness there was noted by Beckett's friend Royce, who made it his personal task to pair the two up. He succeeded, and the two were married in 2380, their first child Matthew - named for Royce - born three years later. Throughout the war, Helen continued her support work on border worlds, much to Beckett's chagrin, and the two were both happier with the other living on Earth in the aftermath of the war.
She is a dry, sarcastic woman whose wit has not been dulled over the years, and far more abrasive than her more polite husband. As a teacher, she has tended to focus her work on the more unfortunate parts of the Federation which need support, and has been investigating improving the educational facilities on New Kashmir.
