| Personal History | Horatio Refelian was born to Jonah and Mary Refelian in 2335 at the Luna New Berlin. Both of his parents where civilian engineers who worked at Utopia Shipyards. As the years went by, the family grew with a sister, Victoria, being born in 2337 and a brother, Maximus, in 2345. As Horatio was 10 when his youngest sibling was born, he didn’t really have much to do with the baby. Choosing to spend his time studying so he could excel at school and eventually become a Starfleet Captain. Although his parents weren’t keen on him serving in Starfleet, they supported his wishes and helped him as best as they could. Jonah hoped that Horatio would follow in their foot steps and become an Engineer. But it was Operations and Diplomacy that caught the young Horatio’s interest. At the age of 18, he moved to San Francisco and enrolled into Starfleet academy. During his 22nd birthday celebration, he was introduced to a lovely young lady called Fleur. Horatio, or Harry as known but his friends at the academy, fell head over heels for her. A year later, they were married. During the early part of Harry’s career, Fleur wasn’t allowed on the ships that he served on. So Fleur moved to the sector where his ships were based. In 2360 Harry and Fleur’s first child was born, a girl which they name Paloma. Although Harry didn’t get to see his small family very often but he always managed to get home at least once a month. 2364 saw big changes within Starfleet with bigger ships and more facilities which meant families could travel. As soon as he could he asked to transfer aboard these new Galaxy Class starships, so he could be reunited with his family. He was assigned to the USS Galaxy and his family joined him. A year later they had a son, Maxwell. Life for the Refelian family was happy and good until the Borg attacked Starfleet at Wolf 359 in 2367. Thankfully the Galaxy wasn’t close enough to respond but Fleur worried about what might have been. She decided it was safer to return home and raise the family. Harry agreed, reluctantly. He knew it was the right choice but found it hard not to see his family for long periods. Max doesn’t take the change well, he thinks his father has sent them away. In 2370 Harry received some devastating news. Fleur had been killed in a shuttle accident. He takes extended leave from Starfleet to be with his family. The loss hits him hard, he seriously considers leaving Starfleet to raise his family. Both Fleur’s and his own parents convince him to stay in a job he loved and in which Fleur was proud of him the most. Max blamed his father for his mother’s death. He was only 5 and didn’t understand fully what was going on. Harry got back to Earth as much as his duties allowed. Paloma loves see her Dad while Max grew further away to the point of not wanting to see if father at all. This hurt Harry immensely but didn’t want to force the issue. From 2372-2375, Harry wasn’t able to get home due to the war with the Klingons, the Borg attack and then the Dominion war. Due to being away for so long, Fleur’s parents asked for Harry to stay away from his children. Max was very against his father and Paloma had grown accustom to not seeing her father. Harry accepted and kept away, only keeping in contact with letters. Over the years Paloma grew distant as she worked hard with her schooling and her further education as she wanted to be a teacher. Harry kept tabs on Max as well and was very proud when his son joined Starfleet academy in 2383. In 2384, Paloma got in contact with her father after two years of not responding to his letters. She apologised and explained that Max’s negativity towards him had rubbed off on her. She wanted to tell him that she was getting married to a fellow teacher and wanted him to give her away. Harry was honoured and thrilled. He also wanted to meet the man that had stolen his daughters heart. Six months and several meetings with the happy couple later, he walked his daughter down the aisle. It was the first time he’d seen Max for a good few years. He was very proud of him in his cadet dress uniform and had grown up to be the image of his mother. But he still refused to speak with his father. In 2389 Harry took a month off after his command had been mothballed after being attacked by the Breen. This also coincided with the birth of his first grandchild. A boy whom they name Horatio after him. |

| Service Record | In 2353, Horatio Refelian joined Starfleet academy. He went through basic training well, before choosing want area he wanted to go into. He chose Operations and Diplomacy. Upon his graduation in the top third of his classes, in 2357, Refelian was promoted to Ensign and assigned to the Miranda Class ship, USS Vector as Operations Officer. The USS Atreus was his next assignment as operation officer in 2361 before requesting a transfer to the USS Galaxy in 2364. After the Borg attack of Wolf 359 this left a massive gap of experienced officers to fill the new starships Starfleet were building and ones they were refitting to bring up to standard. So, in 2367, Harry was promoted to Lieutenant and place aboard the Challenger Class USS Warrior. In 2370, Harry took an extended leave of absence after the death of his wife, returning to active duty in 2371. Upon his return he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and assigned to the Ambassador Class ship USS Reynolds where he served as Chief of Operations and Second Officer. In 2374, he replaced the Reynolds First Officer after he was killed in action against the Dominion. In 2376 he was promoted to Commander and continued in his role as First Officer aboard the Reynolds. He was then reassigned to the USS Sirius in 2379, briefly as her First Officer before being promoted to Captain and taking over the reins from Captain Banda. Refelian served as the Sirius’ Commanding Officer until she was booked in for a major refit which would take around 18 months to complete. Refelian and his crew were reassigned to the Akira Class USS Solent in 2385. At the beginning of 2389, the USS Solent was attacked by two Breen warships. She managed to fend them off but took heavy damage. After limping her way back home, and after extensive surveying by Engineers it was deemed the Solent was too heavily damaged to repair. After requesting to take some leave to head back to earth to meet his new grandson, Refelian was summoned to Providence Shipyards by the now Rear Admiral Banda. He was offered the chance to reopen Faltan Station. A planetary base would would serve to Protect the Raeya Side of RTC, Transit Hub of RTC Patrols and Klingon Theater Intelligence Operations Centre. He relished the challenge and accepted the assignment straight away. 2353-2357 - Starfleet Academy - Cadet 2357-2361 - USS Vector - Operations Officer - Ensign 2361-2364 - USS Atreus - Operations Officer - Ensign/Lieutenant JG 2364-2367 - USS Galaxy - Assistant Chief Operations Officer - Lieutenant JG 2367-2370 - USS Warrior - Chief Operations Officer - Lieutenant 2370-2371 - Extended Leave due to personal bereavement 2371-2374 - USS Reynolds - Chief Operations Officer & 2XO - Lieutenant Commander 2374-2379 - USS Reynolds - Executive Officer - Lieutenant Commander/Commander 2379 - USS Sirius - Executive Officer - Commander 2379-2385 - USS Sirius - Commanding Officer - Captain 2385-2389 - USS Solent - Commanding Officer - Captain 2389-Present - Faltan Station - Commanding Officer - Captain |
