Awards and Honors
Personality:
- Serious minded, Dorian takes his duty as his first and foremost concern. Knowing that his presence can be somewhat intimidating at times he is kind and gentle with those around him but he will not abide anyone shirking their job. He is not easily angered but once aroused can be implacable. He strives for excellence and his simple expectation of that type of performance in others around him often obtains the desired result. He is willing to listen and consider all angles of a problem before coming to conclusions.
He is highly organized and manages people well. Hidden in there is a surprising sense of humor and a warmth that will draw in his friends and close colleagues.
Background and History:
Dorian's parents were both in Starfleet and actually met and courted aboard the legendary USS Enterprise. A strong military tradition runs through their family. He is the second of three children and has a sister and a brother. His mother was in operations where he got his organizational skills and his father in the Sciences. He spent his early years aboard and was schooled in the finest traditions of Starfleet. At age 14, his father was killed in an away mission by an out gassing explosion while studying a fissure on an airless asteroid. His mother was devastated and took her children with her back to Earth when she left active duty. They lived near her family back in Atlanta for a few years while he finished his schooling. Then he applied and was accepted to Starfleet Academy.
His serious turn of mind and commitment to excellence saw him rise to the top 10% of his graduating class. He didn't have 'time' to party that some of his classmates seemed to. Nonetheless he gained several close friendships during his time there. He followed his father into the Science track with a secondary emphasis in Command.
During one notable incident with the Borg, the bridge where he served as Science Officer was damaged and the senior officers killed. When the secondary command network failed he was the senior officer left on the bridge. He had the only live Comm link to the balance of the squadron and saw to it that their ship did not fall out of formation but continued with her run against the Cube. He relayed their situation both externally and internally. He along with the tactical officer, helmsman and junior Ops officer who had happened to be on duty at the time of the attack managed to keep the situation together. They managed to retrieve several life pods from the surrounding debris. His steady voice and calm demeanor held the balance of the crew together until help and a more Senior bridge officer could arrive through manually climbing the wreckage in the turbolift to relieve him.
Recognizing native skills, Starfleet sent him to Command school. Since that time he has served on progressively larger ships as he honed his craft. He was very proud when he received the most coveted assignment as First Officer to Captain O'Mara aboard the Zephyr. Dorian believes they have an excellent working relationship and a fine crew. He is in every way proud of the ship and crew.

Dorian sat his watch on the bridge of the Zephyr and listened to the murmur of electronics and the lowered voices of the bridge crew as they discussed something or other. He sat with his right leg extended in front of him while leaning on the arm rest. His head slightly cocked to the left to keep his gaze level. In his right hand he held a PADD which the Yeoman had brought with the duty roster for the next few days amongst other reports. His left-handedness still amused his family although it never seemed to bother him in the least, well maybe at meals when there were large parties and he was seated in the middle of the table.
His practiced eye reviewed the data. He switched Ensign Kern with Lieutenant Lambert at helm for the second watch as he wanted to go over something with Lambert tomorrow regarding the arrangements for the Captain’s Birthday party. Lambert and her friends were going to provide some musical entertainment and he wanted to make sure it was tastefully presented for this occasion.
Suddenly the ops officer reported “Sir, unidentified vessel bearing 020. The vessel seems to be drifting in space.”
“Hailing Frequencies” he said then followed up with “Unidentified vessel, this is Commander Alexander of the Starship Zephyr, do you require assistance?” he signaled the connection closed
“No response Sir!” ops replied after a moment.
“Very well, bring the ship about bearing 020, sound proximity alert and approach with caution. Signal them that we are approaching to render assistance if needed”
As they carried out his commands he touched his Combadge “Alexander to Captain, Sir, we have an unidentified vessel which does not respond to hails. It appears to be drifting in space. We are turning to approach them to see if they require assistance.” The Captain acknowledged and indicated he would be on the bridge shortly.
“Ops do you have any further detail on the vessel?”
“Yes Sir, the ops officer said, “it appears to be Ferengi.”
“Ferengi?” he said “What the heck are they doing way out here?”
