Glori Hawthorn

When Corvus Prime was formally inducted into the United Federation of Planets and her father forbade her from joining Starfleet, Glori did not think twice. Once she charmed her way through admissions, Glori saw it only natural to follow the Medical track, seeing as how her monthly dialysis treatment meant she should never be far from a Sickbay or Infirmary.

The four years at the Academy came and went without much incident. Glori drew much attention, but made few lasting friends. She struggled to find her place. A few months before graduation, she determined to be herself as much as Corvanly possible, and to hell with the rest.

While it would be unfair to say that Glori has been ostracized by her crew mates, it’s a testament to her research skills that she has advanced at all. Her first assignment after graduation kept her on Earth as an assistant researcher for Starfleet Medical. It proved to be a beneficial experience that gained her a reputation for excellence which would precede her.

Wanderlust returned to her, though, and she yearned to visit the stars she had always admired. Her first starship posting did not last long, as it was a small crew on a Wallace class. Her glib remarks and tasteless humor undermined her position with the crew. The captain transferred her as quickly as possible, dumping her in a remote outpost where she served for over a year.

Eventually there was a newly commissioned Intrepid class ship, a research vessel christened the USS Wallachia, whose CMO offered to give Glori a chance. Under that doctor’s tutelage, Glori thrived, eventually becoming her department assistant and earning a promotion.

When Starfleet began commissioning Pathfinder class starships, Glori knew that was where she would find her destiny. The USS Pioneer, second of its class, just happened to need a doctor.
