Romen Corbin is a distinguished Starfleet captain, who has been in the centre chair for almost over a decade.

Personality

Although initially trained as a counsellor, he transitioned to the command track early in his career. Corbin is a highly skilled and professional individual who holds his crew to the highest standards. He is a well-rounded officer with exceptional diplomatic abilities. His also known to have some obsessions, this includes ensuring that every room he enters he inspects it to ensure it is kept clean and that everyone serving is looking smart and presentable. He is known to send anyone back to their quarters to get themselves sorted if they are not looking the "part."

He takes great pride in being a father to two children, both of whom are currently in their early 20s and undergoing training to become esteemed Starfleet officers. He is known to boast about them and their accomplishments. Corbin's wife, who holds a prominent position as the head of one of Betazed's distinguished houses, resides on Betazed. When she visits, he goes over the top in providing the VIP treatment to her and the rest of their family.

Recent Events

Corbin's last command was the USS Shackleton (NCC-79321), which he commanded for one year while the ship was in the Delta Quadrant. In 2400, Starfleet offered him the Columbia. Though he once served on a Sovereign-class explorer and an Obena-class ship, he has never commanded a ship as big as the Columbia.

During Frontier Day, Corbin was home on Betazed while the ship was undergoing minor maintenance at Starbase Bravo. As a result, Corbin and the crew of the Columbia avoided some of the disaster inflicted on other Starfleet ships.

Corbin In-Play

• As a NPC, rarely would he be interacting with every single member of his crew. As a fleet-level NPC, you may use him in your stories as long as you do not alter his personality or history—or kill him.
• Though Corbin is keen on keeping the Columbia as tidy as possible and being one of the finest ships in the fleet, he does care deeply for his crew. Being a father of two twenty year olds, he is keen for those who have joined his crew as junior officers to progress well.

Elizabeth "Liz" Nelson is a Starfleet officer who currently serves as the Executive Officer on the USS Columbia. She originally trained as an engineer before she joined the command division.

Personality

At first glance, Liz appears to be a friendly and polite person while also having a wicked sense of humour. She enjoys new adventures and challenges and is known to come out with phrases like 'such fun' or 'this is delightful'. She is, in reality, an extremely ruthless officer who does not hesitate to put anyone down in a blunt manner if they have done something wrong. Her sarcasm is well-known among the crew, especially when someone tries to teach her something new that is technical. Being a former engineer, and one of the best in the fleet, she regularly keeps up with the latest research and application of technology. Elizabeth is a very intelligent woman.

Elizabeth is an old Academy friend of Captain Corbin, and the two have known each other for a very long time. They are godparents to each other's children and would do anything to protect each other. He refers to her as Liz while she calls him Rome in private.

She has many interests, including cooking, playing poker and riding horses. Alongside this, she has a vast collection of paintings and sculptures. A keen musician, when off duty, she is normally found in Ten Forward playing the piano or saxophone.

Recent Events

Like Corbin, her son has just joined Starfleet Academy, a fact she is very proud of (she does not gush about it as much as Corbin).

Elizabeth was with Romen on Betazed during Frontier Day, and is keen to ensure that a repeat of what happens does not happen again. She is very weary of new crewmembers.

Nelson In-Play

• As a NPC, rarely would Nelson be interacting with every single member of the crew. As a fleet-level NPC, you may use her in your stories as long as you do not alter her personality or history—or kill her.
• Elizabeth is known as 'Number One' by Corbin - she keeps him with both feet on the floor. She has no issues in socialising with the crew, but always keeps the professional boundary up with those that serve under her. As an Ensign you may struggle to build a firm relationship with her.
