| Personal History | Paul Emerson was born on Earth in 2343, he was raised in Egypt along with his brother and two sisters, all of them were raised to think of the desert as home, an oasis was for everyone to use without exception or reservation and the desert was the ultimate land on the face of the Earth. However growing up, the Emerson's were not a united front as their father often went to other continents and sometimes off-world in search of work. John and Marie Emerson did their best but it was never really enough and when Paul Emerson came of age, he went into Starfleet academy as he wanted something better than living in a desert which he honestly found to be dull at times, in this modern age of shuttlecraft, warp drives and faster then light weapons. Paul sometimes found it hard to believe that some people liked to live in a desert. His sisters followed him into the academy as he led the way for his family. Paul wasn’t a star recruit at basic, but did pick up most things with ease; phaser rifles, phasers, running, climbing, EVA and zero-G movement came naturally to him. He had no real trouble learning starships operations such as; communications, LCARS operation, and scanners as he’d already served on a starship for a year prior to joining Starfleet. Out of all the classes it was Starfleet Hand to Hand combat where he really shined. Following completion of basic training, he was sent to Starfleet Security School for six weeks to undergo department specialization training. Security School wasn’t too difficult, a few courses on rules and regulations, more Hand to Hand combat classes, instruction on driving the Argo Buggy and the use of its Type-IV Phaser Canon. His service at the academy was educational for him, he had the respect of his peers and the accolades from his work, he graduated in 2364 and was assigned to the USS Galaxy, where he remained for five years and then he was sent to the Trin'culo where he remained for another three years. It was around this time that he met Shiamoon Khouri, and the two started dating just days after they met. He knew he had to abide by rather specific Islamic traditions when dating her but then that didn't really apply while in Starfleet or off of Earth, within six months the two were married and a year later along came Michael Emerson, their eldest son, followed a year later by Martin. Katrina came along four years after that and Hapshepsut Emerson, their youngest was born only born in 2387. He was then reassigned to the Courageous where he met and served with both Jake and Torilla Yamaguchi before he was offered the posting of executive officer on the USS North Point. After serving on the USS North Point as Exec for a year, he was offered his own command, the USS Robinson which was one of the first group of Galaxy-class starships commissioned into Starfleet service. Emerson accepted and he was promoted to Captain. Off he went to his first command. Emerson and his young family went across to the USS Robinson where he remained for several years then in 2381. Emerson was offered command of the USS Centurion. A newly commissioned Pathfinder II class starship that he would command for almost six years before he was promoted to Commodore and the command of the Sixteenth Tactical Wing, he would use the Centurion as his flag but he was asked to relinquish her command, his Executive Officer became Captain of the Centurion and Captain Garry Saunders did well commanding her while Emerson was relegated to flag operations, something he truly regretted ever accepting. He was promoted first to Rear Admiral and then he went off to Starbase 47 to take over as commanding officer of IFO's assignment in the Taurus Reach. Starfleet had three dozen colonies in the area and the Eighteenth was assigned here to police and protect the area before the Starfleet force size in the Taurus Reach required an Admiral who was a higher rank them he, imself was and thus he was promoted to Vice Admiral to command the newly assembled ninty second fleet. He was assigned to the USS Valhalla to oversee his new command. |
