Fiction:Doohan

Commander Doohan, often reffered as Mr. Doohan is the chief engineer onboard the USS Enterprise-A and the long time friend of James Rambo. He studied engineering and became chief engineer upon joining the crew of the Enterprise. He did serve on other vessels before, but refused to comment about his past carreer record that much.

Early History
Doohan was born in 52 BQF at the planet Koerband in a family of technicians. In his youth he lived in Cardolast and enjoyed it’s peaceful nature and avenues. After high school Doohan joined the Technician University and eventually was drafted into service of Rambo Command. After studying at the Rambo Academy Doohan served as a junior engineer onboard a ship and at the Capital Space Dock.

Service onboard the Enterprise
When James Rambo received command of the USS Enterprise-A he requested Doohan as his chief engineer and Doohan accepted and came onboard in 04 AQF/01 NE upon her maiden voyage. Following his transfer he received a promotion to commander and became second in command of the Enterprise. Since coming onboard Doohan kept the ship together, running and performing to the wishes of the captain and its crew. Doohan himself crew fond of the captain and the senior crew members like Dr. Bob and Jolene Adams and soon became known as the inner circle of James. During the exploration of Quadrant 21, Doohan learned more about the special anomalies and hopes to find a solution to pass the galactic barriers of the Quadrants without the use of only wormholes.

During the various events involving the Battle of Angforst, the Hunt for the Zevian Skull, the discovery of Aecor and the search of James' daughter, Claire, Doohan remained onboard and kept the warp engine running and the ship prepared for combat. During the exploration and mapping of the so called NX-Region, Doohan was present at the banquet held in honor of the return of New Republic officer, Helo Roslia. Later on the Enterprise had an encounter with a cruiser from the Congregation and due to swift actions of Doohan the warp core remained intact and the ship managed to evade destruction. After the attack the Enterprise was drawn into a wormhole leading to the future.

Personality and Traits
Doohan is an intelligent engineer, a kind and warm person. Knowing to by-track various protocols and finding ways to improve warp engines, shields or weapons for specific missions or requirements. As a chief engineer, he knows every route, bulkhead placement and naming of every deck and station. Some find it creepy, others find it great that he really knows his "girl", the Enterprise. As the chief engineer onboard his is also a senior officer onboard and due to his commander rank is the second in command when the captain is not onboard.

Due to him being the chief engineer, he wears a different outfit, with white and black. The custom uniform is allowed by Captain James Rambo as it marks him as the chief engineer. Due to his older age, he is a bit heavier but always passes his medical and sporting tests without problem. He favors teaching new recruits or engineers about the art of engineering (as he likes to call it). Another liking of him is his love for Sepherian Whisky, which he often shares with Doctor Bob
