B. Background Summary:
----------------------------------
Sabine Finch was raised by her parents and enjoyed a stable family life with her brother Jack, who is three years younger than Sabine. He followed her into Starfleet, and is stationed at Starfleet HQ on Earth in San Francisco, and is a LTJG and works in Security there.
She attended public schools in Atlanta, Georgia her hometown, and upon graduation from her secondary school, applied and was accepted to Starfleet Academy.
Sabine Finch’s time at Academy was routine her first year. In her second year she declared her intent to pursue a Starfleet Corps of Engineers track toward graduation. Her third year intensified her engineering course work with a secondary emphasis on Sanitary Engineering within the Civil Engineering Corps. This field of study focused on the application of engineering solutions to improve sanitation of humanoid settlements and communities, to provide the treatment and disposal of waste, in addition to engineering and maintaining supplies of safe water.
Secondary assignments in her past saw her involved in working for Starfleet with other personnel in the Starfleet Corp of Engineers and Starfleet Operations in setting up sanitation and assured water supplies for temporary settlements, refugee encampments, or in areas where existing water supplies and sanitation services have been destabilized by natural disasters or acts of aggression.
As a Civil Engineering Corps officer, her primary assignments on SB Serenity in the first year involved maintaining and repairing plumbing systems on the Starbase. Her secondary duties overlapped with some of the Operations departmental duties, and after her first six months on SB Serenity, she was reassigned to the Operations Department where she was a quick learner and adapted easily to her new department.
A year later, she was given the opportunity to take on the position of Operations Manager on board the small Virginia class frigate, the USS Colorado, and left SB Serenity behind.
Fourteen months later, the USS COLORADO was being parked and her crew dispersed across the Fleet. Lt. Finch was tabbed to replace the OPS Chief on the USS Circe, who had retired from Starfleet.
C. PERSONAL NOTES
----------------------------------
Sabine has a small scar on her lower back that she got from a boat propeller, a scar she received as a young teenager on a weekend outing on a school friend’s boat on a local Georgia lake. She considers the story behind this as a boring story and isn’t interested in elaborating on the accident.
Suffice to say, at some point when they were idling, she slipped off the back of the boat and managed to slice open her lower back on the propeller of the boat motor as she resurfaced. Rather than get the immediate medical treatment that would end their boating fun that day, treatment which would have resulted in no permanent scar but also result in her parents finding out what happened and grounding her, she chose an on-the-boat stitch and bandaging treatment by her friends on the boat to close the wound in her skin and stop the bleeding. She then chose to hide that area of her back from her parents and her brother through the rest of her secondary school years. As a result, she has a small scar on her lower back that is not noticeable when she is dressed, even if she is just dressed in a T-shirt and underwear. When she went for her Starfleet Academy entrance medical exam, the doctor told her he could remove her scar, but by then, she didn’t see much point in removing it.
Sabine was drawn to the water at an early age. She enjoyed being on the water, piloting boats, wave surfing, and swimming. Her accident in her early teens on a boat did not dampen her enthusiasm for being on or in the water.

C. Medals and Commendations
Commendations –
----------------------------------
Starfleet Commendation for Valor: - 2429
Awarded to LTJG Finch who demonstrated exceptional bravery and courage in the face of danger during a critical mission while serving on SB KENAI in 2428. This commendation recognizes acts of heroism and selflessness.
LTJG Finch was returning to SB KENAI from a visit to Earth on the Runabout HAWKWIND when the runabout received an emergency distress signal from a Starfleet Scout Ship, the Flemming Class HORTONS. The signal was coming from inside an unstable asteroid field. Overriding the desires of the new runabout pilot and other passengers and outranking them, she ordered them to investigate the distress signal entering the unstable asteroid field.
On arrival, they were able to make voice communication with the disabled ship and learned there was a crew of five, life support was failing, propulsion was offline, and three of her crew were struggling to repair the ship. LTJG Finch led two HAWKWIND passengers who were engineering ensigns destined for SB KENAI over to the disabled ship, and found two of the HORTONS’ crew in a safe zone, while the other three were trying fruitfully to conduct repairs on the disabled ship. Finch had the two HORTONS crew beamed over to the runabout as a precaution, and was about to lead the two ensigns from HAWKWIND into the lower deck where repairs were underway, when a catastrophic explosion occurred below them, causing a breach that threatened the lives of all those remaining on board.
Despite the imminent danger, Ensign Finch displayed exceptional bravery and quick thinking. Without hesitation, she ordered her two companions beamed back to the HAWKWIND, and on confirming HAWKWIND could not get a transport lock on the two HORTONS crew below her, then entered the compromised section of the vessel, risking her own life to rescue the remaining trapped crew members. Due to radiation leaks, she had to carry them out of the lower deck one at a time, back to the upper deck where one by one they could be beamed over to the HAWKWIND. Once all were safely on board HAWKWIND, the runabout pilot was overwhelmed by the asteroid field becoming increasingly unstable and froze at the controls. LTJG Finch took over for him at the helm, and skillfully maneuvered through debris and hazardous conditions, returning the runabout and the crew of the HORTONS back to SB KENAI.
During the rescue operation, LTJG Finch sustained leg injuries but refused to abandon her mission, displaying unwavering dedication to the safety and well-being of her comrades. Her courage under pressure and selfless actions saved multiple lives.
LTJG Finch’s exceptional bravery, decisive action, and willingness to put herself in harm's way to save others demonstrate the highest ideals of Starfleet. Her heroic actions during this response mission earned her a well-deserved Commendation for Valor.
Starfleet Unit Citation: - 2431
Awarded to Lieutenant JG Finch who served with distinction as part of a highly effective and cohesive team in the remediation of a sanitation system collapse on Kansashun in 2430, after a ‘landquake’; and the renovation and restoration of adequate water supply and distribution in the region which supplied water to a community of 300,000 which had been disrupted by the same landquake. This commendation acknowledges exceptional teamwork, coordination, and overall excellence in executing a mission.
Academy commendations:
----------------------------------

20/20 Vision, good hand/eye coordination
VI. Recent Fitness Reports
----------------------------------
LT Sabine Finch is fit and in good health.
VII. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
----------------------------------
Finch takes some getting used to. She appears to favor facts and experience in solving problems more than theories. She prefers work that requires an organized, logical, and practical approach that incorporates the effective use of time and resources. When faced with a new experience outside her comfort zone, she is more willing to entertain speculative theories and guidance from others with more experience and confidence in their theories and abilities, and can be led effectively to perform a new task. Her closest friends are far away from her, and she is fine with that. She has little to no use for narcissists and how they expect and demand special treatment. That she has bumped into such types just about everywhere she's landed may help explain why she doesn't stay anywhere very long and prefers to keep most people at an arm's length. Rather then get into it with someone, and have to tell them 'you're not special, you're not precious, and I don't give a fuck about you and your "treat me as the queen I am and we'll get along better" attitudes, she prefers to keep interactions with them to the absolute minimum required to do her job. She is SO not suited for diplomatic relations. She tends to get along better with men than with other women. She was asked once if she would prefer to be on a ship where she was the only woman on board, and she smiled at the question...but said 'No' anyway.
VIII. Current Recreational Interests
----------------------------------
Swimming, wave surfing, piloting boats on the open water, and river running.
IX. Miscellaneous Information
----------------------------------
Sabine is not married and does not have a fiancé back home. When Sabine gets some recreational holodeck time, she enjoys a variety of interests, but none of them involve gunfights or space battles, or hand-to-hand combat.
