B. 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.

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."
