Character Biography

As a child, Alfred was always curious about how various things worked scientifically, so it was only natural for him to join the Science division of Starfleet. While at Starfleet academy, Alfred became a leading cadet on an ambitious project aimed at using Tachyons, among other faster-than-light subatomic particles, to improve warp engines. However none of the cadets on the project, nor their professor, realized that the matter/anti-matter reaction of current warp engines would be unable to handle the introduction of the particles.

It was only when an engineering student saw the plans–about half an hour before the initial live core tests were to go online–that the flaw was discovered and the test aborted. Despite that fatal flaw, Alfred and the other cadets were commended for their efforts as they were able to prove a re-designed FTL engine that used those particles was possible, and Alfred keeps the model core in his office as a memento.

After the academy Alfred chose to stay close to Earth for a while, serving on Earth Spacedock before transferring to the USS Ark Angel
