History
Early Life (2367 – 2400)
Harper N. Brooks, born on August 10, 2367, is a curious individual with a passion for all things science. Growing up in the city of Atlanta, Harper was surrounded by a loving and supportive family that encouraged her to pursue her dreams. She dreamed of exploring amongst the stars for as long as she could remember.
Her father, Terry Brooks, a High School History Teacher, and her mother, Hannah Brooks, a tender-hearted nurse, taught her to work hard and learn something new everyday.
As a child, she would spend most of her time exploring the wonders of science, engrossed in books about astrophysics, exobiology, and quantum mechanics.
Throughout her school years, Harper excelled in her studies, particularly in the fields of physics, chemistry, and zoology. Harper knew at a young age that she one day wanted to join Starfleet and further explore her curiosities.
Starfleet Academy (2387 – 2392)
As Harper entered her first year at Starfleet Academy, pursuing an four-year science program, she embraced the opportunity to specialize in astrophysics. Immersed in a rich academic environment, she eagerly delved into astrometrics, astrophysics, astrosciences, geophysics, hydroponics, planetary geosciences, and quantum mechanics.
While Harper studied and immersed herself in scientific courses, she found herself yearning for the bridge of a starship, where the action and excitement of exploration unfolded. She envisioned herself using her scientific expertise to make an impact on the communities located through Starfleet space and help those where she would be able.
As Harper progressed through her cadet years, absorbing every bit of knowledge and immersing herself in the vibrant community of aspiring Starfleet officers, she eagerly awaits the day she receives her first assignment on a starship. Harper dreams of the day that she will be able to lead her own crew and make new scientific discoveries, but looks forward to serving and learning underneath another captain until that time.
Starfleet Career (2392-Present)
Harper was assigned to the USS Horizon straight out the Starfleet Academy as a Junior Science Officer. She spent a great deal of her time learning and being mentored by Commander Archeron. Commander Archeron imparted everything she knew into Harper up until her retirement and the two grew very close. Harper still is in contact with her today and sometimes comes to her for advice if she can’t find a solution herself. Harper spent two years serving as a Junior Science Officer aboard the Horizon before serving for another year as a Senior Science Officer. Harper was then transferred to the USS Nova and served for two years as a Senior Science Officer before being promoted to Chief Science Officer. She served as Chief Science Officer aboard the Nova for 3 years before receiving command of her first ship, the USS Sausalito.
