Biography
Jackson was present from early in Vanguard's operational period, in early 2265. In response to the revelation that the Klingon Empire was taking an interest in planets surveyed by Vanguard's scout ship, the USS Sagittarius, Jackson was tasked by Commodore Diego Reyes with Lieutenant commander T'Prynn, the stations's Starfleet Intelligence officer, to be aware of spies on the station. Upon learning of Jackson's role, Ambassador Jetanien, head of the Federation Embassy on the station, called the security chief 'a capable officer', 'well suited to the task Reyes would soon assign him.'
