Background Summary: ====================== Eric grew up on the Falora Prime colony, a mining colony that is a member of the Federation but owned largely by Davram Mineral Extraction Industries. His father and most of his extended family worked as grunt labor in the mines (DMEI does not use automation for a large part of its operation). He was given a very basic and simplistic education by the DMEI school system, but only went to school half days and worked in the mines the other half. All workers at DMEI were provided very basic housing and little else. When the Federation learned of the appalling educational situation on DMEI worlds, they established secondary schools and enforced that the DMEI require attendance. Eric excelled in the Federation Secondary school. He learned of Starfleet, and decided that he was going to join. His family laughed at the idea and rebuked him, telling him that mining was all he’d ever be good for, just like the rest of them. In his Senior year at the Federation school, Eric worked hard to earn admission to SFA. At SFA, Eric excelled at tactical studies, and made that, in conjunction with Security, his major. He took courses his Junior and Senior years in Close Combat and Weapon Specialization. The UFP had been the first to give him a chance to move beyond where he was, and he wanted to give back to them. He knew that Security and Tactical was his calling. He also discovered that he enjoyed the sciences, and found engineering fascinating, so he minored in Engineering in the free time opened up by moving ahead of most of his freshman and sophomore year major-specific classes. His posting to the CONCORD was a scarring experience, with the loss of almost all of its crew, and it led to him be selective in developing close relationships early in his career, for fear of losing those close to him again after being ostracized by his family for joining Starfleet. His grief and repressed sense of helplessness from the CONCORD was finally dealt with thanks to his relationship with his wife, Lyrica Shae, and the birth of their son. Since then, his knack for developing close relationships with fellow members of the senior staff has only grown thanks to his openness, and he is considered by his colleagues to be someone that they can rely on, both on and off duty. His experiences on DS13 allowed him to grow as an officer and develop in his command experience, testing him with some difficult situations. He enjoys tactics and intelligence work, and so spent a long shore rotation at TACFLEET, but desired to return to active line duty which is what finally led him back to his posting on the ISIS. C. Personality Summary: Eric is a very kind and outgoing person. Having worked his way up to a promising career in Starfleet from being expected to be grunt labor for Davram Mineral Extraction Industries has given him a sense of purpose. He is content with where he is; knowing that he put himself where he is through a lot of hard work. He feels a deep respect for the UFP and wants to serve it through Starfleet because he feels that they were the first ones to help him do what he wanted to. Eric is very self motivated. He taught himself a great deal of what he knows about tactics, and continues to expand his knowledge. He minored in Engineering at the Academy, mainly because he excelled so well in his majors that he found time to pursue other interests. He loves the field of Security and Tactics, and continues to have a passion for them even as he has moved out of those area-specific assignments into command. He works very well with other people, developing as a strong leader in his time in Starfleet. He is faithful to Starfleet regulations, but is also willing to break the rules when he thinks there is a greater good to be accomplished. ========================================================================= IV.

BETA Quadrant Service Ribbon Gorn Theatre Ribbon Gold Fleet Service Ribbon Tybiiran Campaign Ribbon D. Service Notes After completing training at ALB, Eric was assigned to the USS CONCORD as assistant CSO. He served there for almost a year, until the CONCORD was destroyed. For his service shortly before the destruction of the CONCORD, and especially his service in keeping the survivors of the CONCORD alive, Eric was promoted to Lt. (jg) following the official Starfleet investigation and report. Eric was then appointed as Chief Security Officer on the USS ARIANE in RED FLEET. Eric served admirably on the Ariane, and his ingenuity in helping the ship through a dangerous search and rescue mission gone awry resulted in his promotion to full Lieutenant. Immediately thereafter, Eric was reassigned to the newly created GOLD Fleet, where he was given the post of Combat Information Center Officer on Space Station Deep Space 13. In this post, he also served as the acting CO of one of the station’s support vessel’s - the USS TITANIA. He was assigned as acting Operations Officer to fill a brief leave of absence and was later given the position permanently. He continued to distinguish himself on DS13, eventually being appointed Executive Officer and frequently commanding the station's support vessels in action. Based on his performance on DS13, he was given a slot in the new Special Tactical and Command Warfare Training at the Space Warfare Officers School. Following his work at SWOS, he was assigned to a Shore Rotation at TACLFLEET. At TACFLEET, he oversaw the Woren/Lehrren Section based on his first-hand experience while at DS13, then worked on the GAMMA Quadrant division, and was eventually promoted to Commander. He was recently assigned as XO on the USS ISIS, a support vessel in the tactical squadron assigned to the USS FEARLESS. When the FEARLESS' Captain was incapacitated during their expedition in the GAMMA Quadrant, Eric was reassigned to serve as XO on the FEARLESS. ========================================================================== V. Skills Profile ================== A dedicated and strong officer with a successful career to date. Exceptional knowledge of tactics and strong level of ability in tactical planning. His analytical mind and attention to detail that make him good at tactics have served him well in command roles in managing the details of keeping a vessel running. Thus far an able leader, capable of handling the pressures of leadership well in addition to motivating others in difficult situations. Takes charge readily when necessary. Works well in stressful situations. ========================================================================== VI. Recent Fitness Reports ========================== "Commander Donalson has a keen tactical mind and a disciplined style of leadership that has clearly been honed over his years in Star Fleet. His early career demonstrated his initiative and raw capabilities, and over time he has developed into an outstanding command officer. He is efficient as a manager and good with people, characteristics that have served him well here in TACFLEET. While it is our loss to see him return to the 'fleet, we are glad to see him continue in his career." RADM Richard Coleman TACFLEET "Eric has been an essential member of the command team on Deep Space 13 since his initial arrival as our CIC Officer. He displayed good leadership skills and quick thinking in his role both as CIC and as the CO of one of our support vessels, the TITANIA. His role in the initial contact with the Lehrren Alliance was handled superbly, and he has continued to distinguish himself both in action and in the management of the station. He has built strong relationships with others here on DS13, and is held in respect by his fellow officers and the crew. As XO, he has been an excellent support to me in overseeing the ever-increasing activity of our station."
