Gail Jacobs

Gail was born on Earth in 2337. Her father is Human and her mother half Vulcan. Living on Earth and coming from a stable and happy background there wasn’t much to perturb the popular and charming Gail whose Vulcan ears got her attention as a child, attention she was able to morph into popularity rather than bullying by being adept at managing the situation around her and perceiving things in people to her own benefit. Driven by her parents who wanted her to succeed in academics, Gail was originally studying to become a doctor, but her world view was adjusted slightly when her best friend’s father died in suspicious circumstances. Seeing not only what this did to her friend but to the local society around them Gail became interested in criminology and pivoted her studies to psychology. In 2355 having left high school as valedictorian Gail was accepted to the University of Cambridge to study criminology, moving on to a doctorate in criminal psychology in 2358. In 2363 she was headhunted for Starfleet, and having enjoyed the studying life agreed to commit to another four years at the Academy, being uncertain exactly what she wanted to do with her chosen profession. Passing out in 2367, Gail initially was based on earth as part of the Judge Advocate General’s office, investigating suspicious events and crimes within the fleet. With the war brewing in 2372 Gail was moved to Starship service, using her skills to advise on tactics, politics and diplomacy and was given a promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade for effective work. She was assigned to the USS Denver as a counsellor in 2375 to aid with the pressure the crew was under after their many difficult experiences.
