Lieutenant Commander Stephen Fox served as chief engineer of the USS Valkyrie (NCC-2590) from the late 2290s. (Star Trek: Valkyrie)

Early life and career[]

Fox was born on Earth in the year 2262. After graduating from Starfleet Academy he had a varied career in Starfleet, serving on both vessels and outposts including the USS Yorktown (NCC-1717) and later the USS Reliant (NCC-1864).

In 2285, Fox and the majority of Reliant's crew were marooned on the planet Ceti Alpha V. Khan Noonien Singh had taken over the ship in a plan to exact revenge on James T. Kirk. Fox was the highest-ranking engineer and worked hard to maintain supplies of food and water. Although some of the crew did ultimately perish, the rest were later rescued by the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and returned to Earth aboard her. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek: Valkyrie: "Reliant")

Just before these events, Fox had considered resigning from Starfleet. (Star Trek: Valkyrie: "The Sculpture")

On the Valkyrie[]

Prior to his promotion to chief engineer, Fox had served as assistant engineer and transporter chief, under Lt. Commander Paul Elberg.

In this role, Fox assisted in bringing the ship back from beyond the galactic barrier after a computer simulation was accidentally engaged during an ion storm. (Star Trek: Valkyrie: "The Inquiry")
