Background Summary --------------------- Benjamin Nelson Mitchell is a man of honor and respect. Having been raised with the ethics and ideas of law & order, he does tend to open his mouth at times and give a glib or sarcastic response which has been known to unintentionally land him in trouble. His childhood was average and he spent most of his time at the Starfleet Cultural Center in Downtown Phoenix. The first real traumatic moment of his life did not occur until he was already serving in the fleet. Despite Ben's distaste for Romulans, there was an incident involving them while Sam was NAV on board the USS ICARUS. A Romulan scout ship breached the border and crashed on the planet of Cochise III. The Captain & FO wanted to blow the ship from orbit. With the help of the CMO, Benjamin was able to convince the Captain (his father) and FO that despite the incident it would improve relations with the Romulans should they assist any survivors who crashed on the Federation Planet. Ben led the rescue party and successfully saved what turned out to be the Romulan Ambassador the Federation. The incident caused a rift between father & son and Benjamin soon transferred off the ICARUS. Silver Star: Mitchell earned it while onboard STARBASE 13. A Klingon Raiding Force led by Commander Kargas beleived the small science station was in fact a military munitions and supply facility housing a Federation Battlefleet. Benjamin Mitchell was in an area of the station that was housing civilians. Kargas dispatched a team to search the station from top to bottom. Mitchell and the civilians were trapped and left isolated from the rest of the station, along with him was the Diplomatic Attache, whom the Klingons demanded to be handed over as a war criminal. Mitchell found a way to hold off the Klingons using materials within the station. He was specifically under diplomatic instructions not to take their lives. A full day later the Kelvin-class starship USS AURORA arrived and chased off Commander Kargas. The Klingons still left on the station escaped in stolen Federation Shuttles but were later destroyed by the AURORA. ========================================================================= IV.
