Name: Jonathan Mayweather
Rank: Captain
Position: Commanding Officer, USS Dragon
Age: 60
Birth Date: 2324
Birthplace: Martian Colonies
Last Assignment: SFC Admirality earth
Current Assignment: USS Prometheus
Although in future years he would serve aboard starships, Mayweather's first love would always be the calm red Martian soil of his homeworld. His parents were both distinguished Starfleet officers. His mother was a retired commander of Utopia Planitia. His father, although still in his prime, wanted to retire from Starfleet because of a debilitating leg wound. Instead, he accepted a desk position at the Starfleet Operations Centre on Mars.
Mayweather enjoyed sports and mathematics, and early in his youth took an interest in piloting. To the occasional horror of his mother, he would delight in sneaking in time on real shuttles. It was his dream to enter Starfleet and become a top pilot.
Making his dream come true, after entering the Academy he was soon selected to be a member of the esteemed Nova Squadron, where he distinguished himself as a fine pilot. After his graduation, Mayweather had a lot of choices even though he was only an ensign.
He chose to be the shuttle pilot on the USS Griffin. Right from the start, his career was an exciting one. The Griffin defended several colonies against pirate ships. During a rescue of a kidnapped Federation diplomat, Mayweather piloted the escape shuttle.
Just before the Dominion War began, Mayweather was transferred to the chief helmsman aboard the USS Reliant, Excelsior class, and promoted to Lieutenant. Instead of a scheduled mission into the Gamma Quadrant, the Reliant was in the front lines of fighting for most of the first part of the War. Mayweather was wounded twice, but served with distinction, and earned two medals of valour during the war.
Unfortunately, the Reliant met an untimely end when it was patrolling near the Badlands. A rogue Cardassian cruiser attacked the ship, unprovoked, and caused severe damage. Its guidance system was knocked offline, and the ship drifted into the Badlands where it was crushed. Although he escaped, Mayweather would continue to blame himself over the years for the guidance failure, even though it wasn't his fault.
Anxious to return home, Mayweather jumped at the chance to inspect new vessels at Utopia Planitia. Accepting a promotion to Lieutenant Commander, during this tour of duty he saved the life of a commanding officer who nearly fell to the bottom of Engineering.
Then he was promoted to Commander and sent to Jupiter Station, where he oversaw the testing of new Starfleet fighters. Mayweather was restless--he wanted to be doing something again. So when he was offered the chance to command a starship, he accepted wholeheartedly.
In 2380, Mayweather reached the pinnacle of promotion, and became captain of the USS Dragon.
Although the mission failed the federationw a ssaved thanks to Captain Mayweather’s crew and ship.in 2385 He was promoted to full admiral and stationed at SFC on earth.
After several years he resigned his commission after a scandal was exposed and he was on the list of suspects. He was offered the position of ambassador on the USS-Prometheus and he took it willingly. Although he is now classified as a civilian, he is still highly respected in Starfleet and ahs many friends who still owe him favours. In his spare time and old age he has now taken up bartending as a hobby. And prefers not to let out that he is a former Starfleet admiral.
