Paul F. Lawrence was a 24th century Human man, a member of the Federation Starfleet and an officer with the rank of ensign assigned to Fleet Ops service during the Dominion War, in the 2370s decade.

Biography[]

Fleet Ops acknowledgement[]

In the year 2370, Lawrence was acknowledged as a part of the Fleet Ops ship commissioning personnel of the Defiant-class prototype USS Defiant, listed on that ship's dedication plaque. (DS9 episode: "The Search, Part I")

In the year 2375, Lawrence was acknowledged as a part of the Fleet Ops ship commissioning personnel of the Defiant-class starship USS Sao Paulo, listed on that ship's dedication plaque. (DS9 episode: "The Dogs of War")

Wartime service[]

In the year 2374, a casualty report filed by the starships USS Akagi and USS Tecumseh noted that Ensign Lawrence was missing in action. Further reports from the starships USS Tripoli, USS Zapata and USS Sarajevo all recorded Ensign Lawrence as having been killed. (DS9 episodes: "In the Pale Moonlight", "What You Leave Behind")

A later report from the Tecumseh in 2375 reiterated Ensign Lawrence's status as missing in action, but an additional report from the PWB Tomal confirmed his death. (DS9 episodes: "Image in the Sand", "The Siege of AR-558")

This character was not mentioned in dialogue, but was listed on the dedication plaque and casualty report set pieces. The names listed were references to members of DS9 production staff, and in this case, the character was named for Paul LawrenceMA.
The viewscreen okudagram graphic of the casualty list was designed to be re-arranged to represent new lists as the episode scripts demanded, so many of the names repeated on the various iterations of the list over the two years it was used. Due to this, it is questionable if the personnel were stationed on the vessels and outposts that filed their reports, as those stations could simply have received the reports from another unit. One could theorize that a missing in action report in one column and a killed in action report in another column represented that one unit received the missing report, while another had actually recovered a body or other evidence of the death.
