Rachel Garrett

Rachel Garrett was a human female and Starfleet captain born in 2294 and who served with distinction in the first half of the 24th century.

Academy and Early Career
Garrett entered Starfleet Academy in 2311, either shortly before or shortly after the Tomed Incident. By 2316 she had graduated and had already earned the rank of Lieutenant (jg) while serving aboard the USS Argo. That year she met -- and in a few months married -- Betazoid xenoarcheologist Ven Kaldarren.

A Rising Star
In 2324 her son Jason was born. Due to her shipboard carrer, the boy lived with his father. Sadly, her marraige became increasingly strained over the next decade.

By 2328 now Commander Garrett was the First Officer of the USS Carthage when it hosted negotiations between the Klingon Empire and Cardassian Union over the status of Raknal V, part of what became known as the Betreka Nebula Incident.

Captain of the Enterprise
In 2332 she was promoted to Captain and given command of the Ambassador class USS Enterprise-C. The honor was somewhat marred by the decaying state of her marraige, and in 2333 her divorce from Kaldaren was finalized.

On board the Enterprise, her close friend Nogel Holmes served as her XO until late 2335 or early 2336, when he was killed in a raid by Klingon renegades.
