Robert Carrington

Captain Robert Carrington is 64 years old and a Starfleet veteran of the Dominion War, Cardassian – Federation War and countless other conflicts and is committed to the defence of the Federation and ideals.

He wears his years of experience lightly and has the insightful command – style of one who has seen so much – knowing when to give his people free rein to shine and when to pull those reins and dictate commands with absolute authority.

Whilst spending some years dedicated to the mandate for exploration, Robert has also commanded a number of the Fleets more martial – oriented vessels and is representative of the ‘New – School’ of Starfleet Officer that values security over exploration & expansion but is still open minded enough to the possibilities of diplomacy and the furtherance of discovery.

Robert sees it as his legacy to identify new talent and mentor them towards paths of productivity and greatness – so much so that he has constantly damaged his chances of advancement to Flag – officer, due to his altruistic – meddling and poaching of promising candidates to nurture aboard his own command.

Robert Carrington possesses the self – assurance that comes with years of service and is always careful in projecting confidence in his role of CO.

Robert seeks to empower the officers under him to use their initiative and celebrates their achievements – making him a popular commander and younger officers, in particular, see Carrington as something of a father – figure. For his own part, Carrington views all of those under his charge as his responsibility and feels that responsibility deeply.

Nevertheless, as Starship Captain – Robert knows that hard choices often have to made and he never makes those choices lightly or would ask a member of his crew to embark on a course of action that he would not attempt himself.

On a personal level, Robert Carrington, is warm, engaging, interested and well – educated.
