B. Background Summary
---------------------
Sam is a man of honor and respect. However he does tend to open his mouth at
times and give a glib or sarcastic response which has been known to upset
certain people namely his mother.
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: his father was captain of the USS MIRANDA this
was where he remembered a distrust of Romulans.
Despite his distaste of Romulans there was an incident while Sam was the
senior navigational officer onboard the U.S.S. Miranda when a Romulan scout
ship breached the border and crashed on the planet of Cochise III. The Captain
& First officer wanted to blow the ship from orbit.
Shepherd was able to convince the Captain (his father) and First Officer with
the help of the chief medical officer that despite the incident it would
improve relations with the Romulans should they assist any survivors who
crashed on the Federation Planet.
He was successful in saving what turned out to be the Romulan Ambassador the
Federation.
It proved Shepherd was ready to handle more responsibilities and assigned
him as Chief Helm Officer of the U.S.S. HORIZON at the request of her Captain.
