Biography[]
Ballard was born on reference stardate 1/96.
On stardate 2/18, Ballard served in the communications and damage control department aboard the Federation starship USS Arkadelphia under the command of Captain Ian Vellacora. He was familiar with the captain's past exploits and had grown reverentially loyal to the captain.
During the ship's first mission to the border of the Asparax Confederation, Vellacora came to believe that a Federation invasion was imminent and diverted the ship toward a suicidal confrontation with Klingon forces. At the beginning of the emergency, Ballard was off duty, in his quarters. (FASA RPG module: Decision at Midnight)
