Personality
Edit
Ray is a dedicated and honest man, sometimes brooding, but always ready for action. He stands up for his crewmates but is always ready to make the hard decisions necessary for command, even if it means he may have to leave a friend behind.
Early Life and Career
Edit
Added by JayLRRay Martin served as a cadet aboard the USS Enterprise briefly under Captain Christopher Pike on a mission to Berengaria VII. (Star Trek: "Here There Be Dragons")
He graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2264, shortly after returning from that mission, and was assigned to the crew of the old Saladin. He was later transferred to the USS Hood, serving as a junior helmsman. In 2265, he was assigned to the refit USS Saladin as helmsman. He rose through the ranks, proving his capability on several missions, and was promoted to First Officer under then Commander John Russell when the ship's First Officer was killed in action in 2267. In 2268, the Saladin returned from its four-year mission, and Captain Russell was assigned to command the Hood and offered the job of First Officer to Martin while Saladin was refit. Martin served aboard the Hood during the ill-fated wargames between the M-5 computer aboard the Enterprise, Hood, Potemkin, Lexington and Excalibur. He was later given command of the Saladin once the refit was completed where he served as captain until the ship's disappearance in the year 2291. (Starship Saladin)
The Saladin
Edit
As first a crewman and later the captain of the Saladin, Ray Martin served with distinction and was instrumental in preventing a war with the Klingons.
Later Years
Edit
Somewhat bitter from spending almost his entire Starfleet career in the military service, he longed for answers to the fundamental questions of life, and would dedicate himself to finding them as best as any man could.
Family and Personal Life
Edit
His grandparents served aboard the USS Cochrane during the Earth-Romulan War. He has a cousin Henry "Hank" Jones who served as a security officer aboard the USS Azrael. ("Starship Farragut" "Power Source")
