Rear admiral, lower half Jack Upton was a human male and a low ranking admiral serving in the cultural affairs branch of Starfleet.
History[]
Early in the year 2379, he ordered the USS Enterprise-E to Delta Sigma IV to deal with a growing crisis where he expected that the Enterprise would not perform well at all.
Later that year, he attended a birthday party for Admiral Alynna Nechayev in San Francisco. There, he revealed to Esperanza Piñiero the fact that the nadion-pulse cannons used on Tezwa had been supplied to them by the Orion Syndicate through the Federation and that the whole affair was the reason that President Min Zife had resigned from office. Upton knew this as he had previously worked with Koll Azernal on a number of projects. Revealing his knowledge to Piñiero was apparently an attempt to flirt with her. At the time, he was an older, single man and one whom Piñiero considered unatractive. (TNG - A Time to... novel: A Time for War, A Time for Peace)
