Family Background:

 

The Granger family traces its Marine roots to 20th century Earth, when the first of their line joined the Corps in response to their country's entrance into World War II. At the age of 17, Jonathan Wester Granger became part of the first wave of Marines at Guadalcanal. He served through Iwo Jima and returned, battle hardened and more determined than ever to serve his country in the Corps. Several generations later, Cassidy Ross Granger was born on Bertaria colony.

 

Established in 2227, Bertaria Colony was a bold move by the Federation to push the boundaries of human colonization to the edge of Romulan space. A joint Starfleet-corporate venture, they chose that location in an attempt to establish more favorable relations with the Romulan Star Empire and to promote trade between the Empire and members of the United Federation of Planets. Because relations did not develop as planned, in 2228 the Federation dispatched a detachment of Marines as a precautionary measure.

 

In 2230, Cassidy's namesake, Cassidy Kalista Granger was born to Recon Specialist GySgt Samantha Ducharme and Tactical Specialist Marine SSgt Franklin Granger, career Marines attached to the Marine defense force assigned to Bertaria Colony.

 

In 2261 a permanent Marine training facility and Quick Reaction Force (QRF) base was established there. The colony continued to grow but much of the planet remained wilderness to accommodate the training facility and QRF base. The Granger family eventually made Bertaria their permanent home; there Cassidy Ross Granger was born.

 

Education and Service:

 

As was her namesake, Cassidy Ross was drawn to the family occupation. By the age of twelve she was expert in martial arts, stealth reconnaissance, weaponry, and wilderness survival. She entered the Marine pre-enlistment program at the age of 16 and enlisted in the Corps a year later.

 

Her advanced skill status and rugged physique drew the attention of Starfleet SPECOPS. Soon after basic, she was fast-tracked into a joint-branch program that groomed SPECOPS Intelligence operatives. After three post-graduate years in intensive counterintelligence study and internship, she shipped off to Marine Scout Sniper school to prepare her for clandestine operations.

 

Despite the name, Marine Scout Snipers are more often used as advanced pre-mission close-in reconnaissance than as snipers. Scout Sniper training focuses on marksmanship, stealth, strength and endurance, survival for extended periods of time in remote locations, and reconnaissance and communications techniques.

 

During her training Granger received the call sign "Striker" because of her exceptional marksmanship and the lightning-shaped birthmark on her left shoulder.

 

In 2292, Granger was assigned to the USS Kearsarge as Intelligence Specialist tasked with monitoring activity on the Federation side of the RNZ. In 2297 she was transferred to the USS Challenger for the bolstered joint military Special Operations program.

 

Psychological Profile:

Subject is 27 year old human female, no obvious psychoses. She is of exceptional build and extreme confidence, though she credits her family and extraordinary education for many of her personal accomplishments.

 

Subject remained reserved, relaxed and focused throughout the examination. When asked what she considered the best qualities of a Marine, she replied, "Above all, teamwork, as well as focus on the mission, respect for command, and disregard for personal comfort. Clear thinking under fire and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Respect for command and the ability to take command if the need arises."

 

When asked if she would give her life for a fellow Marine, she answered in the affirmative without hesitation. When asked if she would give her life for an enemy, she answered that she would if the circumstances dictated. When asked for a specific instance, she said she would if the success of the mission depended on it.

 

Intelligence registers above average at 120 - 135, not unusual for career military. Visual spatial perception, problem solving, reasoning, and adaptive behavior well above average.

 

Approved for duty.
