Personal Background
Prior To 2401
Born in Edmonton in the former nation of Canada Vanessa spent most of her childhood growing up either with her mother who served at Starfleet Command, or with her father who was the XO on the USS Hood. She was the first biological child of the Hume's who had also adopted the child of a Romulan defector that died aboard the USS Hood while being taken from the Neutral Zone to Earth. She would alternate where she lived every year, switching with her brother so neither parent was alone and each child had the sole attention of their parent.
She graduated from high school and entered Starfleet Academy in 2383, focusing her studies on tactical training, strategic operations and first contact. She took a few introductory medical courses during this time, and did well, but decided to go the command route instead hoping to follow in her father's footsteps as he had just been made commanding officer.
Vanessa served as an ensign on the USS Ben Nevis following graduation, working her way through the ship's ranks to become a full lieutenant and the Chief of Strategic Operations. Following this she served as the First Officer aboard the USS Explorer, and then was given her own command when she was promoted to Captain and put in charge of the USS Exploration.
She commanded the Exploration through the Borg War, fighting a rear guard action to protect the retreat of Starfleet's forces as they moved to defend Earth following loses throughout Federation space.
The Exploration took part in the Battle of Sol, the last ditch effort of Starfleet to protect Earth from a massive Borg fleet. The Exploration was critically damaged during the battle, and Hume barely managed to evacuate the crew before she aimed the Exploration at a Borg Cube and transported off the ship moments before it collided with one of the attacking Borg ships.
After 2401
Following the end of the war Vanessa Hume felt that she had enough of war and took temporary leave from Starfleet. She enrolled in the Vulcan Science Academy and spent the next four years studying medicine and biology. The Vulcan Science Academy was just rebuilding following the war, and she was one of only a handful of students to be attending classes.
Following her graduation she returned to Earth where she took a position in the administration of Starfleet Medical. Following the death of the Head of Starfleet Medical Dr. Beverly Crusher, Hume became the assistant to the new top man in the department Vice Admiral Gai'lar. However she wanted to return to active duty aboard a starship, and pressed for a shipboard assignment.
She was assigned the USS Exeter, an Olympic Class starship serving as the fleet's only functioning
