Lewis

The Star Trek Expanded Universe Database is for fanon and related content. See Memory-Alpha.org for the canon Star Trek wiki.

Lewis (first name or pseudonym) otherwise known as The Doctor was a Human Starfleet Captain, best known as joint-commanding officer of Unity One Starbase and the USS Odyssey-A in the late twenty-forth century. He is one of the youngest and most pragmatic starship commanders in Starfleet history, although is considered something of a rogue by authorities, especially after uncovering memories of a previous life in 2387. (Star Trek: Unity)

[edit] History

[edit] Assimilation by Borg & Earth Life

Lewis was born on the USS Voyager in 2371, but when the ship met the Borg in 2373, he was taken and assimilated in a Borg maturation chamber. For the next three years, Lewis was used as a Borg drone, but has no memory of what he did or what happened. Something unusual occured with Lewis' assimilation and afterwards, Lewis had a number of unusual telekenetic abilities, apparently for unexplainable reasons.

Due to the Borg, Lewis is always five years above his age mentally because of enhanced cranial development. Fortunately, as Voyager returned home via a Borg Transwarp Hub, an away team sent to a Borg sphere saved him from the collective, and Voyager's Doctor was able to remove most cybernetic implants.

The Borg had however managed to enhance Lewis' brain significantly, and he finished primary schooling in less than two months after Voyager's return to Earth.

[edit] Career before Unity Starbase

Lewis' mother, now a Starfleet captain after being promoted from her posision on Voyager, convinced Command to allow Lewis a two year abridged course at Starfleet Academy. Being able to 'process' more information than a standard human, Lewis was able to learn the basics of Starfleet and the command business.

In early 2379, Lewis was given a provisional rank of Commander and assigned to his mother's ship, the USS Endeavour to observe and learn starship operation. The experience helped Lewis' development, and a Borg attack on Earth in early 2380 gave Lewis the chance to prove himself. Lewis managed to contact a "Borg King", who gave Starfleet information on how to combat the Borg, ending up with the destruction of the invasion fleet.

Around this time, Lewis became involved with then-Lt. Commander Lisa Coventry, also serving on the Endeavour at the time. However, the romance was short-lived as Lewis was offered a promotion and accepted, despite the fact that it meant leaving Lisa.

Starfleet promoted Lewis to Junior Captain and gave him the USS Incursion, a Defiant-class (variant) stealth ship. Over the years, Lewis fought hard and helped win the small border conflicts with races, and represented the Federation in many first contacts.

In 2382, the Incursion was re-assigned, and Lewis was given the USS Hawk. This ship was destroyed shortly after it left spacedock, but the crew survived and transferred to a Sovereign-class USS Hawk-A. This ship played a large part in the Neronian war, and in the final showdown, with Lewis in command, it destroyed Nero's flagship, ending almost six months of conflict.

This act pushed Lewis to the rank of full Captain, and he received some much wanted shore leave. About two months into his leave, Lewis was called up to help in the capture of an alien who had caused a war between the Federation and the Interstellar Concordium in 2380. Since the Hawk was on Mars, undergoing refit, Lewis asked for the first in a new class of smaller, but reasonably powerful starship. Starfleet named this ship the USS Hawk-B, and again, with his crew, Lewis traveled the stars, stopping a second ISC rebellion and discovering the Iconian Gateway network.

[edit] Unity One Starbase - The original missions

In 2384, after the Borg Elimination Incident, Lewis and the USS Hawk were re-assigned to Unity One Starbase as figureheads of peace near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Shortly after assuming command, Lewis and Puto investigated the Rakelli, a long-time enemy of the Klingons, who wanted to destabalize the relations between the Federation and the Klingons. After five months, the crew of Unity completed this task when it was discovered a surviving Borg cube was behind the threat, led by a "Borg Emperor" that had impersonated the Rakelli leader. Five months after curbing the Rakelli threat, Lewis was instrumental in defeating the Borg armada that attacked Unity One Starbase during the Battle of Gateway.

During the following year, Puto and Lewis and the often changing crew of Unity continued to run the station and explore their area of the Beta Quadrant, whilst slowly watching the hints of more Borg arriving and assimilating worlds. In March 2386, Lewis was reunited with the now-Captain Lisa Coventry of the starship USS Pentok, when the Borg Emperor attacked planet Kressgon in his Harvester vessel.

[edit] Commander of USS Odyssey

Following the Battle of Beta Thoridor and the Battle of England, Lewis and Puto were assigned full-time to the USS Odyssey. In early 2387, the pair, along with Jono were assigned to help rescue Klingon Chancellor Martok from Qo'noS, which was under attack by the Imperial Klingon State led by Toral. Shortly after this, they were witness to the arrival of the Fen Domar in Federation space.

[edit] The year that Lewis forgot

For a few months in early 2388, Lewis was assigned to Starbase 225, a Starfighter Command type Starbase, as a Deputy Director of Starfleet operations in the base's sector. With this authority, he regulaly commanded ships such as the USS Poseidon-B, USS Atlantis and USS Salem on single missions. Following this, Lewis commanded the USS Geronimo, considered Starfleet's "crazy ship" and that vessel's dealings with the Cammaroona. Later, he travelled in the 28th century on USS Relativity and also met Chloe Fisher. For reasons yet to be revealed, Lewis' memory of these events was all but wiped.

Much of this year is retold in Unity Comics.

[edit] Back on the Odyssey and return to Unity

Lewis returned to the USS Odyssey-A in September 2388, and assisted the Kressgonians during the "Halloween Incident" on their world, before taking Rakelli Prime Minister Jimb'a to a state Christmas dinner on Unity Starbase.

[edit] Personality and traits

It would be a grievous miscalculation to call Lewis a by-the-book officer. His often wacky and dangerous plans have just about saved the Federation on numerous occasions. He is very serious when it comes to his career, which he has worked hard to build from his troubled past on Voyager. Each person has a weakness, however, and Lewis’ is the Borg. He hates them for what they did to him despite the mental abilities that they gave him. He has a more sarcastic and witty personality than most Captains, but has a wide range of experience, and is more than willing to explore new cultures and make new friends. He is loyal to his command crew, and they are loyal to him, after over five years of service together. Lewis' knowlege of weapons is extensive. He currently holds the rank of Captain in Starfleet, and the rank of Colonel in the Imperial Starfleet Military. Following Lewis' retreval of his Guardian memories in 2387, Lewis became less vengeful of the Borg and generally more diplomatic, using words more than weapons on many occasions.
