Park Seoyeon

Early Life (2366-2384)

Park was born on 8.6.2366 to Harry and Grace Park.  Her personality didn’t take long to develop; its strengths also became her weaknesses as she grew up.  She spent much of her middle school and high school years in the principal’s office with a nasty habit of fighting, yelling, and making her point with her fists.  She graduated high school in 2384.  Her parents allowed her to apply to Starfleet Academy or reform school.  She chose Starfleet.  Her friend Ada Josephs suffers a similar fate but is not given a choice.  She joins Park as a cadet.

Starfleet Academy (2384-2388)

Ada Josephs joins her at the Academy.  Park’s academy files are filled with high praises and stacks of disciplinary notes in equal measure.  Her fists were less of her problem as she learned to hold them at her side.  Her words became her weapon of choice.  There were notable incidents during her Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years between male and female students having issues with Cadet Park.  She was summoned to a panel of Academy instructors during her senior year.  Their message was simple – get it under control, or she would find her way out of the Academy. Ada and Park responded by isolating themselves from their classmates at every opportunity and focusing on saving themselves from losing out on a career.  Their grades improved, and they each passed finals, ending with a final standing in the middle of her graduating class.  Park was assigned to the USS Lake of Glory, a Miranda class, while Ada was assigned to Starbase 1 as a medical assistant. They kept in touch over the years, visiting when they could.

USS Lake of Glory (2388-2390)

Park was assigned as a science officer and served with average reviews.  Her assistant chief ignored her and gave her menial tasks, which she succeeded in.  She worked in the shadows and avoided her fellow crew.  In 2390, she took a chance and applied for the Assistant Chief Science position on the USS Flathead Lake, an Olympic Class science vessel.

USS Flathead Lake (2390-2395)

Park was given more freedom on the science vessel and worked at building a successful science team under her.  There were conflicts with the XO, which was built over the next five years.  She was promoted to Lieutenant in 2393 and applied for the Chief Science position vacated by a retiring officer.  Surprising everyone, she was granted the position.  She was promoted to Lieutenant.  Park succeeded in this position and worked well with her team, but the conflict continued with the XO.  In June of 2395, she got into a verbal argument during a mission briefing that became heated to the point that security had to be called.  She was ordered into counseling and reassigned.

USS Fargo’s Folly (2395-2397)

Park is assigned as the Chief Science officer of a Reliant class. Her counseling takes time and hard work. She gets along with her commanding officer and the XO. In late 2395, she was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. In 2397, a captain requested that she fill the XO role on his ship.

USS Benjamin Franklin (2397-2401)

Park steps into the XO role on the New Orleans class Benjamin Franklin. At first, it was a successful assignment.  In 2398, the captain retired, and a new CO was assigned.  The conflict started immediately, became a pressing issue, and began to spill over into the crew.  Commander Wren Walton, one of Starfleet’s problem solvers, is assigned to Park, and she works with her for an entire year. Park improves and is promoted to commander in 2399.  Her improvement is temporary.  In February 2401, she was given a last chance and assigned to now Captain Wren Walton as her XO and Chief Science Officer on the USS Mackenzie.
