B. 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.
