Background:

 

The second of four children, Asher Swain was born on the small colony world of Kynareth in the coastal city of Anvil. His parents were descended from the original settlers of Kynareth and he grew up on the families' homestead in the rolling hills outside of Anvil.

 

Though the son of a tradesman, he spent his youth exploring the woods, fields and coastlines. During his teens, he attended the Anvil Academy where he focused on natural sciences; when he turned 16 he enrolled at the much larger Kynareth Science Academy in New Calais -- Kynareth's capitol-- where he majored first in biology before transitioning into astronomy.

 

During his senior year at Kynareth he won a competitive internship with the Gallen Observatory, which was operated by Starfleet Stellar Cartography. Over the course of his internship, he caught the eye of his superiors, who encouraged the bright young man to apply to Starfleet Academy.

 

After finishing his degree program at Kynareth, he applied and gained successful admission to Starfleet Academy where he completed his post-graduate studies in Stellar Cartography commissioning with the rank of Lt. (J.G.).

 

His first assignment placed him at the Galileo Center, where he begun to work during his time as cadet and where he eventually finished his dissertation in Astronomy. Following that, he transferred to the USS George Washington for the duration of a three year mapping mission of the Goblan Expanse. Eventually attaining the rank of Lieutenant while aboard the George Washington, he was reassigned to the USS Pei Xui as the Chief of Stellar Cartography. He would go on to serve in that post for three years before being promoted to Chief of Sciences, a position he would hold for two additional years before rising in rank to Lt. Commander and being transferred to the USS Idrisi as Chief of Science and Executive Officer.

 

Aboard the Idrisi he participated in first contact with nearly a dozen species and helped become the first crew in Starfleet to map the Kollan Frontier. The Idrisi was also among the first starships in the Federation to spend extended periods of time in the Gamma Quadrant, mapping a number of planets and nebula.

 

With the outbreak of the Dominion War in 2373, he was promoted to Commander and given command of the Idrisi, who's mission profile changed considerably, shifting into reconnaissance and scout work. With the end of the Dominion War, the now seasoned Swain was promoted to Captain and given command of the USS Cassini, an Intrepid-class starship assigned to the far reaches of the Beta Quadrant.

 

Nearing ten years after taking command of the Cassini, Swain was transferred to a new command in the Gamma Quadrant as Commanding Officer of the USS Excalibur-C.
