Summary
The son of a prominent Federation diplomat, James Robinson is almost as green as they come. He served in a comfortable position in the Federation Navigator General’s office his first year out of Starfleet Academy, a position arranged, unbeknownst to the younger Robinson, by his father, an attempt by the elder Robinson to keep the young man away from duty aboard a starship, which the father felt was beneath his son. Jimmy, as he is known to his parents and most of his peers, requested assignment to a deep space post, and was sent to the Phoenix as navigator and stellar cartographer.
