Personal History:

 

I grew up between the home base of the Kas family in Los Angeles, and aboard the ECS Fortunate III. In the history of many cargo ships, families came to treat their ships like heirlooms, handing them down from one generation to another. Marriages were more varied than on Earth, due to the influence of other worlds and cultures. About the only trait that the ECS Fortunate III shared with her earlier iterations was the mix of family configurations. There were many adoptions, Single Parents, marriages with multiple partners, interspecies and interracial ones too, besides your typical one male human and one female human. As small as the crew is on a cargo ship, for them to last several generations, the gene pool must be kept lively and fresh. But the reality of life on a small ship meant that medical treatment of races other than human was difficult. The Fortunate had it's share of Vulcans and Betazoids, yet the lack of experienced medical care meant that humans dominated the crew. My Great Grandmother never had any of her own children that we know of, but she did adopt a few along the way. She took a lot of trips off ship, and some of them lasted a year or so. When Sarah returned, she most always had a new "son" or "daughter" and they weren't always babies! She had a couple of husbands too, but both ended childless and unhappy.

 

The life of a Boomer was rewarding, and perilous. My parents seemed to enjoy the life on a freighter, and both served in Star Fleet for a few years until family life made it too lonely for them. Someday soon, families will become, should become, a normal way of life on board. My parents told me stories about how when one of them heard about the other's ship, all they did was worry. It's probably why neither of them stayed in Star Fleet for a very long time. I've enjoyed by life on ECS Fortunate III, and I leave her knowing my brothers and sisters will always be there for me.

 

Training:

 

At 31 years old, I should be a lieutenant or lieutenant commander by now. I'm an ensign because I've spent many years aboard the Fortunate. One of the nicest things of being a boomer, is taking Star Fleet Academy classes at the Cargo Ship University, located in Boulder Springs, Colorado. It was the United States Air Force Academy, until it was destroyed in WWIII. After the radiation was cleaned up, and 50 years have gone by, it's a pretty nice place again. Good hunting too

 

Star Fleet allows a small number of people to enter a special one year "orientation" class to experienced ECS officers, boomers like me, to join Star Fleet. I'm joining because of family tradition, and a desire to explore. I'm also hoping my experience with family life on space ships can be of benefit to Star Fleet, for while there are no families on ships now, we know it is being planned for the new ships to come.
