Shaxs Drazon[1] was a 24th century Bajoran man, an officer of Starfleet in the 2370s and 2380s decade. (LD episode: "Second Contact")
Biography[]
Lieutenant junior grade Shaxs in 2378.
Early life[]
In the 24th century, Shaxs was a member of the Bajoran Resistance and fought the Cardassians during the Occupation of Bajor. He and Kira Nerys saved each other's lives on several occasions. (LD episode: "Hear All, Trust Nothing")
Shaxs also shared a rough acquaintance with Ro Laren, who had served within the Federation Starfleet before she defected to become a member of the Maquis, which her fellow Bajoran regarded as treachery. Shaxs would later accuse her of having abandoned not just her uniform, but also her faith in the Prophets that were central to the religion on Bajor. Laren, in turn, described Shaxs as an "ass" when she met with him in 2378. According to records kept about Shaxs before the Day of Blood, he had once punched a Gorn so hard it exploded. (ST - Day of Blood comic: "Part 1")
The Theseus[]
In 2378, Shaxs held the rank of lieutenant junior grade and served as a security officer aboard the USS Cerritos. During that time, he was appointed as Starfleet's special investigator to locate all of the Orbs, his report on which was heavily redacted by Starfleet Command. In that year, he transferred to the USS Theseus to replace Ambassador Worf as Benjamin Sisko's tactical officer, the Klingon having left to assume control of the stolen USS Defiant and launch his own efforts to thwart the renegade Emperor Kahless, who was leading his followers in a deicide against godlike beings across the universe using a weapon that was fuelled by the Bajoran Orb of Destruction. (ST - The Red Path comic: "Part 1")
Following the defeat of Kahless, Shaxs transferred back to the Cerritos. (ST - A Savage World of Glass and Bone comic: "Part 1")
The Cerritos[]
By 2380, Shaxs had been promoted to lieutenant and as security chief of the Cerritos under Captain Carol Freeman.

During a viral outbreak stardate 57436.2, Lieutenant Shaxs, and Ensigns Barnes and Sam Rutherford assisted the rest of the senior staff in retaking the ship.
Shaxs's uniform shirt was torn during the incident. He carried Ensign Brad Boimler, covered in Galardonian spider slime, to sick bay. Doctor T'Ana derived the cure for the Galadonian rage virus from Boimler's slime.
After the situation aboard had returned to normal, Shaxs joined Captain Freeman and Commander Jack Ransom for a drink in the mess hall. (LD episode: "Second Contact")
In the year 2381, Shaxs was among the Cerritos crew who got trapped by the malevolent artificial intelligence Badgey on the holodeck. During the lower deckers' effort to earn enough merit points for Badgey to release them, Shaxs oversaw a Borg cube scenario alongside Ensign Barnes. (LD video game: The Badgey Directive)
Alternate timelines[]
In an alternate timeline, Shaxs from 2380 was pulled into the temporal anomaly crisis. Shaxs was skilled in the fields of command, diplomacy, and security, as well as zero gravity training. Among the equipment he brought to bear in away team missions were whisky, a submicron scanner, phasers, and a combadge. A variation of him that enjoyed roleplaying as a bank robber in the holodeck was also drawn into the anomaly. That version wielded poker cards, a Tommy gun, field rations, and a fedora.
