Line 16: Line 35:
 
He has a shorter mane that is somewhat brown in color, and trimmed to style instead of running to length down his back. His mane blends with his fur in the center, being off-white with spots, but the ends are brown. He has black fur on his hands and halfway up his arms with it scattered throughout his chest.

He lost his tail in an accident on Earth in pilot training. His Redemption Fighter lost a wing in a mid-air collision, and upon landing, his tail was crushed beyond repair, and removed at the base. He is not as stable as most other Caitians, and has developed the same stability as a normal human would have, which is far less then Caitian norm.

Biography
+
  
 
Before Starfleet, J'al enjoyed a 5 year enlistment in the Caitian Defense Force. In fact, he did not join Starfleet until he was 22. He served as a fighter pilot for the small, but necessary Caitian Military. In the Cait system, and around it, he flew mainly patrol missions, and then the Dominion War came up. The Caitian Military, and any Federation world with fighter unit, or Starships available were called into use. His Squadron, the 775th Caitian Air Defense Corps was used in a few early battles of the war. With manpower so stretched out, Starfleet had to resort to these kind of measures. It was then that he decided to join Starfleet, after seeing the beautiful ships, and training they had to offer pilots.

J'al then joined, and started out as a pilot for the Starfleet Fighter Corps. During his Freshman year of training, he was put up against a graduate by the name of Lt. Commander Jackie Clawson. A Wing Commander on the USS Rayden. All Cadets were required to fight a veteren, and he pulled her. He hid the fact that he already had 5 years of flight training, and 2 of front line combat as they flew towards the start of the fight. He let her get behind him by faking a low, slow turn, and as soon as she fired, he did a roll 360 to the left, and pulled up, zipping in behind her. For the next 10 minutes, they couldn't get a lock on each other. Both of them had been trained, and had been self-teaching themselves to the point that they were very unorthodox, and did not know what the other would do. To say the least, he was impressed. He had expected to down the rigid flying fleeter in under a minute.

Time was coming up, as each fight was no more then 15 minutes, so he pulled a... non-regulation move, and positioned himself directly under her by about 20 meters. He pulled up lightly, and rolled right to get a lock off her wing, but she pulled right as he did. The fighters bumped each other hard. His port engine died, and his starboard engine took in a chunk of aluminum outer skin from Jackie's fighter, damaging the blade and destroying his momentum. He started plummiting towards Earth. His instinct was to level it out, but he couldn't do it. He tried to eject, but the canopy was stuck. In a last ditch effort to save his life, he slammed the engine to full force, even though the intake was badly damaged. He was able to maneuver it into a glide trajectory, and aimed for the middle of the territory of Kansas on North America.

The force of the impact shattered the rear end of his fighter, and crushed his tail behind his seat (which was NOT designed for those with a tail). He also broke his left leg, 3 bones in his right arm, and his left collar bone. His right front canine tooth was snapped off, and he cracked a few others in the process. But thanks to the saftey systems, he survived. Since then, he's had trouble staying stable whils walking, and expressing himself to other members of his race. About 25% of the Caitian language and tone of voice is carried through tail motions. Luckily, the number of Caitians he works with in Starfleet is very limited, so language is easier. Walking was something else though. It took about a year to walk properly again. The tail is very acute to keeping the Caitian in balance.

After recovery, he flew for the Carrier Class USS Yorktown. That stint lasted a few years, until he was involved in a highley sensitive accidental attack on a Romulan Scout Ship. The ship ambushed his patrol group while the Yorktown was in orbit of Vasek III. His group was patrolling the system's edge when the ship decloaked and opened fire on them. His group was able to cripple the ship, and a lucky shot destroyed it by overloading the warp core. Starfleet Intelligence was brought in on the matter, and his entire squad was questioned. He took full responsibility, and violently insisted that his squad be allowed to return to their duty. The Intel people saw something in him (he still can't figure out what), and offered him a position in Intelligence.
+
−
 
+
−
Once his Intel training was completed, he was transferred out to the USS Infinity as a junior Intelligence Officer. He was already a Lt JG, based upon his Caitian military career, and that helped a little. It took him a while to get into it, but he had his share of assignments from Intel, and was moved to the USS Horizon and bumped up to Chief of Intelligence there.
+
−
 
+
−
In 2382, his cousin M'Karll R'Pas was assigned to the Horizon as a Flight Control Officer. His constant pirate talk, and general joviality somewhat annoys J'al from time to time, but overall he is glad to have family and yet another Caitian onboard.
+
−
 
+
−
Since he came onboard in 2381, J'al had been training under Admiral Clawson to be a Helm Officer. He was not certified to pilot the larger Starfleet ships such as the Horizon, and wanted to learn. Flying is his true love, and Intel was just a distraction. In 2383, following completion of the prescribed courses and due to the temporary retirement of the Admiral, Commander Chadwick happily promoted him to Lieutenant Commander, and assigned him as the Horizon's Chief of Flight Control.

In 2380, he was transferred to the USS Essex, his first real assignment. There, he flew his fighter in a rather routing manner. The ship did not undergo anything too unusual for his tenure, and he found it a rather boring place to be a pilot. Nonetheless, two years later in 2382 he was promoted to full Lieutenant for time in service and bumped up to the wing's second officer. This lifestyle bored him and he found a craving to fly faster and bigger things. He undertook training to fly full sized starships, and after certification found himself transferred to the USS Horizon A as a Helm Officer.

Service Record (Starfleet)
+
 
 +
Aboard Horizon, he found the lifestyle and duty more to his liking. Within a year, he impressed the CO, [[Jackie Clawson]], a fellow pilot, to the point where she promoted him to the Chief Helm Officer and gave him a promotion to Lieutenant Commander. In 2385, he met his first of many battles with the Borg. Guiding the Horizon during numerous battles, he developed a knack for surviving their assaults. After flying the Horizon through countless encounters, he found himself up for consideration for an Executive Officer position.
 +
 
 +
The [[USS Tomar]] recruited him and he accepted a transfer to XO. The Tomar fought with Task Force 44 against the Borg on the Klingon border, engaging in skirmishes, escort duties, and one major battle with a single Tactical Cube in 2388, a victory for the allies. For the next two years, the Tomar was attached to the Task Force.
 +
 
 +
In 2390, he was promoted to Commander and the Tomar was moved back to Earth engaging in picket duties and more minor skirmishes. In 2391, J'al was offered command of the [[USS Akira]], as Starfleet wanted experienced officers to command front line vessels. The Akira was to take part in the major joint Dominion/Federation assault on the Borg Shipyards in Cardassian space. The attack was repelled, and the task force was ordered to withdraw, the Akira only able to fire a few shots before it was clear the attack would fail.
 +
 
 +
Shortly after this failed attack, J'al was promoted to Captain and the Akira was assigned to the Sol sector. They remained there until the 2393 incursion of a single Borg cube and participated in the battle. From then until 2396, the ship stayed in the Sol system, a key part of the fleet kept there for defense.
 +
 
 +
In 2396, J'al was given command of the Sovereign Class [[USS Falcon]] and made Executive Officer of the Sol System defense force. While the fleet went to Alpha Centauri in 2397, the Falcon and a small but powerful group of ships stayed behind to guard against potential incursions.
 +
 
 +
By 2398, J'al had been replaced as Executive Officer of the Sol System defense force, but not due to his inability as an officer. Starfleet's condensed nature into the Sol system prompted higher ranking officers to fill those positions. The Falcon participated in the [[Battle of Sol]] as one of only a handful of Sovereign Class vessels to survive the war to date.
 +
 
 +
The Falcon was to hold position at Earth, as Starfleet reserved many of the now seeming irreplaceable Sovereigns for desperate fighting if the Borg crossed the Mars Defense Perimeter. In that position, they did pick off stragglers and damaged Borg vessels that began to drift off course, but did not see full deployment until Day 3 of the battle. Participating in the entire engagement from that point on, the Falcon received crippling damage to the secondary hull on Day 5 that almost caused a reactor containment failure. The Engineering crew were able to prevent a disaster only because the Borg vessel that inflicted it was destroyed moments after the Falcon was hit and further fire did not occur as other Borg ships were not within range, or had other priorities.
 +
 
 +
The Falcon drifted, unable to right itself for hours until another Starfleet vessel stabilized it with a tractor beam and slowly dragged it to a stable Earth orbit. In time, it was repaired, but with a 60% crew mortality rate.
 +
 
 +
After victory was declared, the Falcon became a part of the Sol System defense fleet once more, and for nearly ten years left the Sol system only once, to respond to an erroneous report of a Borg vessel outside the system. It turned out to be drifting wreckage that was subsequently vaporized by her phasers.
 +
 
 +
In early 2410, Starfleet saw fit to expand the re-exploration initiative once more and selected J'al as an experienced Commanding Officer to lead one of their ships in this most important endeavor. He was given a transfer to the [[USS Ticonderoga]] and charged with the important task of making contact with former member worlds and doing his part to rebuild the Federation.
