Brief History: The decorated elder-statesman of the Starfleet forces in the SW-1138 Galaxy, Zon began as an engineer specializing in the development of the new "Quantum-Warp-Slipstream" technology before his ship was whisked away through the Route of Ages to a Galaxy Far, Far Away. Navigating the strange and oftentimes mystical new frontier, Zon has managed to become an exemplary fleet captain as well as accomplished diplomat and explorer.

Detailed Biography: Zon enrolled in Starfleet as an engineer and an explorer, serving on the Excelsior-class U.S.S. Agamemnon for most his career, eventually being promoted to Chief Engineer. In 2374, his ship was attacked by the Dominion, and the attack left him the only senior officer on what was left of the bridge. He assumed command, and was later transferred over to the command track, having done well- -and with the casualties suffered during the war, capable commanders were in short supply. He recieved a promotion, and took the position of First Officer onboard the starship. He was later awarded a Purple Heart (with galactic swirl) for his bravery during the Chin'toka Retreat in 2375, where the Breen disabled and destroyed the Agamemnon, along with Captain Sisko's Defiant and hundreds of other Starfleet ships. However, he had refused to abandon ship, and ensured that his crew had gotten out safely, save for the captain, who had been killed in the attack. He was then given a second battlefield promotion in as many years, and given the captaincy of the Intrepid-class U.S.S. Explorer, quickly bringing most of the surviving Agamemnon crew onboard. Though some had misgivings due to his young age, he took the ship and battled with valor, recieving a commendation during the Advance on Cardassia that ended the war at the end of the year.

Since the end of the Dominion War, the Explorer has been involved in a variety of interstellar mapping missions, and colony transport. With the return of one of the Explorer's sister ship, the lost U.S.S. Voyager, in 2377, Starfleet began an experimental testbed program to utilize the advanced propulsion data technologies that the Voyager had encountered, observed, engineered, theorized, or captured. In 2379 the Explorer was selected as the first starship to recieve a 'field test' of the Quantum Slipstream Drive, and for most of 2381 Zon and his crew had labored dilligently in order to modify the ship and balance the theories in order to produce a working drive. Though initial tests had no problem transitioning the ship into the Slipstream threshold, the hull stresses involved proved too much for any ship to handle. However, with advanced SIF and Deflector control algorythms and technology developed during the war, the Explorer was given a green light to begin a five-to-seven year mission of exploration on the edge of known Federation space.

However, due to the discovery of a kind of hyperspatial transporter 'ring' known as the "StarGate" on Earth, with a portal connected to a planet near the Neutral Zone, the Explorer was diverted from it's intended path to the Delnevorian star system to investigate the StarGate from the other side. In arriving at the system, the Explorer was enveloped in a type of Trans-Galactic highway that led over 20,000,000 light years to a binary star system in another galaxy known as the Tatoo System. After discovering that the route between the two galaxies was stable, and that evidence suggested there would be more, Starfleet Command ordered Zon to use the Explorer and it's Quantum Slipstream Drive to facilitate safe and peaceful contact between the two galaxies, and to explore this new frontier.  

Furthering research into this new frontier, Zon and the crew of the Explorer made first contact with the benevolent, galaxy spanning democracy known as the New Republic, leading to a new era in intergalactic cooperation. Under Zon's guidance, they also conducted several high level scans and experiments reguarding the Trans-Galactic Highway, which was now coined by the locals as the "Route of the Ages." It was Zon's ship that was the first Federation starship to discover that the route's endpoint in the Tatoo system was a kind of interdimensional hub, fed off of some unique properties that existed around the system, and that while the Tatoo Route would lead to a hundred other galaxies, the Delvorian route only seemed to lead to the Tatoo system.

Likewise, the Route needed a specific tachyon pulse to control which galaxy the ship was taken to; the crew of the Explorer pioneered the modifications on Starfleet starships needed to navigate the route. Later in the year a group of powerful beings, claiming to be from a solar system hidden inside the Route, stole one of the stars from the Tatoo system. While Zon was careful during first contact with these incredibly powerful machine beings, he eventually was able to travel to their home system and negotiate a treaty which allowed them to rebuild and repair the Tatoo stars and appologise for their actions, at the behest that the coordinates to the pocket dimension were erased from the ship's databanks. True to his word, Zon erased the data.

The Explorer was also first Federation starship to come in contact with the violent, genocidal machine race known as the Cylons, which resulted in a pitched battle which left the starship damaged. After returning to the Alpha Quadrent for repairs, and rearmament, the crew of the Explorer recieved new orders: to investigate the Cylon threat, and negoatiate treaties for colonization on the other side of the Route of the Ages. The crew was present at the beginning of the historical "Treaty of Naboo," which ensured peace between the Federation and the New Republic, along with giving the Federation a 30-system bredth in the Outer Rim known as the Federation Expansion. However, the Explorer was unable to make the actual treaty signing due to the shadow cast by a new threat: The Goa'uld.

Later on in the year, it would be Zon who would finally discover the truth about the Stargate Network, during an exploratory mission on a planet which contained a Library of Knowledge of the race that built the Stargates. This library imbedded itself into the Captain's brain and began to rerecord over it, giving Zon the knowledge of the Ancients at the cost of eventually killing him. Zon was thankfully able to contact another race, known as the Asgard, in order to undo the damage and remove the knowledge, but not before he was able to provide Starfleet Command with over a thousand stargate addresses.

For months Zon and the Explorer was transferred to Earth, in order to act as part of a defense force against an expected Goa'uld Attack, and to help get Starfleet's Stargate Exploration Program on track. After successfully fending off a Goa'uld Attack and two attacks which he didn't personally feel were actually attributed to the Goa'uld, Zon was able to get his ship and crew re-assigned to the Star Wars Galaxy. Zon remained in high contact with the Starfleet Stargate Command, and often debated that the Prime Directive did not come into effect in many cases of stunted human cultures placed off world and oppressed by the Goa'uld.

During this time, Zon cautioned against giving into any of Anuke, a Goa'uld princess he had captured, demands. Starfleet was eager to learn about the Goa'uld, however, leading to her escape. She would later come to Zon, after being deposed from Tatooine, to ask for Federation Amnysty. Zon again cautioned against treating her as anything but a dangerous prisoner, and the Explorer ended up being on the strike force that went against Anuke's captured Starfleet forces. During this final conflict, Zon utilized a near-warp transport in order to get inside Anuke's escape shuttle and return her to the brig of the Explorer, where she was later taken by Starfleet Intelligence, and at Zon's insistance, jailed on a small research colony in the Federation Expansion. The Goa'uld system lord known as Ra later attacked this colony, massacring the inhabitants. This attack left a profound effect on Zon's consciousness, cementing in him the evil of the Goa'uld.

Zon continued to serve as the Captain of one of Starfleet's most prolific vessels, and gained a kind of celebrity due to his status as the first full-time extra-galactic explorer throughout the history of the Federation. However, in late 2383 the Explorer was destroyed by a Goa'uld sleeper agent, and while Zon and the majority of the crew were able to escape without harm, the damage to his reputation had been done.

Somewhat blacklisted among Starfleet despite his status, Zon served on the front line of the Stargate Exploration Program for several months. However, in June of 2383 he and other ex-Explorer members seemed to leave Starfleet and begin a small paramilitary terrorist organization dedicated to attacking high level Starfleet Admirals. However, with the help of Lucas Wolenczak and other friends that Zon had made during his adventures in the other galaxy, it was revealed to the Federation public that several high ranking officials had been involved in a conspiracy which dealt with an series of parasitic organisms that had been controlling Starfleet deployal rates for the last year. Due to his experience in fighting the Goa'uld, Zon was able to recognize this threat, and with Lucas' help primarily, neutralize the mother creature.

With their names cleared and bravery proven, Zon and the other crewmembers found themselves open to any posting in Starfleet that they may have fancied. When Zon was offered the command of a newly comissioned, Galaxy-class U.S.S. Explorer, he jumped at the chance, the majority of his Senior Staff resumed their posts, save for James Blackwell who was promoted to Captain the new, Defiant-class Agamemnon, and Ensign Miranda Ramierez, who was promoted to Lieutenant and given a new position at Ops. Commander T'mlik took on as First Officer as well as Chief Science Officer.

One of the new Explorer's first missions was to conduct a full scientific investigate on the Route of the Ages, which Zon took to with great zeal. However, it was during this incident that the Goa'uld Peacekeeper War spilled over into the Outer Rim territories, and Zon found himself assisting Haweke Karbn during the events that led the latter to be 'twinned' into two identical pilots. Zon was put in the all too familiar situation of needing to contact the Asgard in order to help remove the Ancient Repository of Knowledge from one of the Haweke's brain. Eventually Haweke was 'cured' due to a rather serendipidous holodeck malfunction, and he left Zon with a large number of Ancient equations in the ship's databanks.

Only weeks later, the Explorer was involved in a galactic chase when Angel Carlson, a young, genetically and spiritually engineered teenage girl from Tatooine, was revealed to be the human host and avatar for the cosmically-powerful Pheonix Force. Zon taxed the ship's engines in a despirate attempt to reason with the godlike creature, who was bent on destroying planets that it no longer deemed worthy. While an amiable situation was eventually found, Zon saw nothing wrong with challenging such a force so much more powerful than he.

Later, with T'mlik requesting he resume Science duties full-time, Zon began to search for a suitable replacement for First Officer. He believed he found one in Commander Colleen Fitzgerald, but soon after she arrived onboard, he discovered several disturbing things about her past. First, she was not of this native dimension, and secondly, she possessed paranormal, unexplainable sorcoress powers. Despite these revelations (which Zon was urged to keep secret), Zon kept her on as First Officer, as her shy but often emotional judgement proved to be a good contrast to T'mlik's stoic, logical nature. Zon, to this day, maintains a disbelief in the paranormal, citing a deep separation between the unexplained and the unexplainable.

This belief has been strained since then, most notably when an actual vampire- an extra dimensional being of pure malice which possessed the body of a young man -was captured and restrained while attacking an away team. Finding the man unfit for trial and entirely lacking in remourse, Zon was forced to admit to himself and to the crew that the creature they were dealing with was an actual monster of legend. While some, like Zon and T'mlik, saw this as merely another deadly occurance, no stranger than any other extra-dimensional being of pure malice which could possess others that Starfleet had encountered throughout the ears, some crew members became infatuated with the idea of a dangerous, mystical creature. Events transpired which led to the prisoner gaining free run of the ship and killing at least one crewmember before being killed. While Zon doesn't believe that there is such a thing as the supernatural, he does admit that there are things which can not entirely be explained by the laws of physics as humans can understand them today.

Zon has also proven himself to be somewhat reckless, playing it fast and loose when it comes to diplomatic procedure. For example, Zon ordered the Explorer to travel to the planet Saroya in order to conduct First contact with the rapidly-changing totalitarian regime that had taken over the planet. However, this was a pretext in order to facilitate the transport of several refugees into Federation asylum, an act which was dangerously close to violating the Prime Directive itself.

Throughout 2384, Zon began to show a number of psionic abnormalities, some similiar to that of a Newtype, others more subtle. Colleen Fitzgerald, due to her own wizarding heritage, began to wonder what exactly Zon was becoming. During the testing of the Ancient propulsion equations that Haweke Karbn had left on board, the Explorer was flung to the far reaches of the universe, to a realm where the differences between Thought and Reality were thin. Like the Enterprise before it, the ship had discovered a kind of edge of the universe, and the only way out was for Zon to convince the crew to control their thoughts. However, there was an oddly shaped Egg device that appeared of it's own will and began to stalk the Explorer, and the ship's unending curiosity caused the Egg to hatch. While it was Zon's own preturnatural concentration which forced the Egg-creature back into it's dormant state, Zon found himself calling upon a rift in space and time to transport the ship back to the Tatoo system.

Following the discovery that the "Egg-Creature" was rippling through space and time destroying planets, Zon began a mad search to find and stop the creature's wave of death. Survivors of the planet Atari VII regard Zon and his ship as a death omen and have sworn vengeance on them both. While Starfleet found Zon not culpable of his actions given the peculiar situation surrounding the Egg, Zon found the death of an entire civilization and their blame being directed at his actions a heavy burdon to bare.

When Edge Koenig declared himself Emperor and started on a mad, genocidal quest to destroy all life in the Galaxy, Zon was chosen to lead the Federation star fleet that was to meet Edge's forces in the Tatoo system. Zon was met with allied forces from all corners of the universe, including even enemies like the Peacekeepers, and was unanimously chosen to lead this multi-galactic task force. However, under the commencement of the attack, Edge transported Zon to the madman's Death Star and subjected him to possession by an ancient and powerful force known as Lord Atrolvon. Atrolvon was the last remnant of a long-forgotten race of beings who existed outside of linear time, and who many primitive races viewed as gods. Among this race, Atrolvon was the individual who was chosen, as a punishment, to become an avatar of destruction and renewal throughout the 'lower realms.' In a previous, alternate universe that Atrolvon had been imprisoned in, it was a very different Zon who had been destined to be the physical force of the Atrolvon force, and it was this Zon that had been strong enough to break Lord Atrolvon's cycle of destruction. Commander Colleen Fitzgerald, for the most part, led the fleet.

Edge had counted on this universe's Zon being weak enough that Atrolvon would have full reign, but instead Zon broke through the brainwashing and forced Atrolvon out, where a mad-god psychotic vampire imprisoned Atrolvon in the Route of the Ages. Zon found himself confused, awash with memories and visions of places and worlds he had never been in. It was here that Zon discovered the secret of his peculiar abilities-- along with some of the memories, Zon was able to access some abilities that the alternate version of himself had possessed. While Zon was content with merely being the observer to extranormal and fantastic events, he now found himself at the very center of them.

These memories proved very effective when the Egg-Creature resurfaced, only to reveal to Zon that it was, or had something to do with an old, extra-dimensional force known as The Saint, which Zon could only vaguely recognize through the hazy and dim visions of a previous existance.

Over the years, Zon continued to have many more adventures throughout the SW-1138 Galaxy and beyond. He bid farewell to his First Officers of Colleen Fitzgerald and later Haweke Karbn. He championed the younger races during the War of the Giants, leading fleets against the Shadows, the Vorlons, and the Reapers, and presided over the diplomatic station Olympus 4 until it was destroyed in an alliance between rogue elements of the Tragolite Federation and the Federation's eugenicist mirror doppelganger, the United Federation of Systems. He struck up a friendship with the young Vulcan officer Kryek, and continued to champion AI rights despite Starfleet banon synth development.

Zon would later bring his diplmatic skill to Unity Station, a joint fleet space port operation between The Federation, The New Republic, the New UN Government and the United Earth Expedition Fleet. He would be promoted to Rear Admiral, Lower Half in 2387 and then again to Rear Admiral, Upper Half in 2394 following the final battle of the War of the Giants over Z'ha'dum. He would navigate the integration of several different ships and captains from several different timelines into his own fleet, such as Captain Thorarrin Gundarson of the U.S.S. Victoria (an alterate 2411), Captain James Bradford of the U.S.S. Olympus (2245), and Captain Jonathan Womack of the U.S.S. Karamazov (2160s). He would remain stationed on Unity Station following the War of the Giants, and would pass the captaincy of the U.S.S. Explorer to the Vulcan Captain Sosot. Zon would not rest on his laurels, however, as he would reactivate a newly no-longer amnesiac Haweke Karbn's Starfleet commission in order to have him infiltrate General Leia Organa's Resistance forces which were dedicated to fighting the mysterious and unknown First Order, an Imperial remnant fleet from the Outer Rim.

Tragically, in 2399 Starfleet suffered a tragic blow when the hidden fleet of Darth Infernus, working in secret underneath the shadow cast by the burgeoning First Order, would use a wormhole-weapon to obliterate the entire Lunix star system, the SW-1138 capitol of the Federation Protectorate. Following this attack, the First Order would use Starkiller Base to conduct a similiar annihilatory strike on the New Republic capitol of Hosnian Prime. As the First Order War began, Zon found himself in charge of a now rag-tag fleet, hopelessly outgunned, and with Starfleet unwilling to commit forces through the Route of Ages. With the Explorer requiring repairs, and no other slipstream-drive capable ships able to make the trip across the galaxy in time, all Zon could do is watch as the Resistance fell during the Battle of Krait.

As the war began in earnest Zon used what assets he had available against the advance of the First Order fleet. The enemy flag assigned to eliminate the "mongrel invader" forces of Starfleet, General Haxxion Flaxx, was constantly vexed by his defacto underling Captain Shetsgot Wuckfit being outmanouvered at every turn. Safe behind the reflex cannons of Unity Station, Zon himself coordinated Starfleet forces admirably, but it was an increasingly hopeless battle against the superior numbers of the First Order. However, due to the machanations of Commodore Oh, the head of Starfleet Intelligence, Commander Joseph Martin from the Starfleet JAG office would be assigned to investigate Zon for his sympathies towards synthetic life. This investigation could noth ave come at a worse time, as Martins interrogated the Admiral on the whereabouts of decades of sheltered AI life forms such as Lucas Wolenczak, Abigal Adalia, and others. Zon refused to betray their trust, and despite the ongoing war Zon was arrested and jailed for his violation of the Starfleet Synth Ban of 2386.

The war would rage on without him, as Captain Sosot would fall to the blade of Kylo Ren himself and the Explorer would be nearly destroyed. When Zon's former first officer, Haweke Karbn, now working to build a Resistance cell on Tatooine, busted Zon out of prison in order to recruit him to the Resistance, Zon felt he must accept. Zon would work with the Resistance as a general and advisor under Karbn's leadership until just before the end of the war, where the actions of Federation forces during the Defense of Coppelius would give reason to revoke the synth ban and expore Commodore Oh as a Romulan operative. Commander Martins would be arrested by Captain Gunderson, and Zon would be re-instead as Admiral and given a fleet of Starfleet re-enforcements just in time to participate in the Battle of Exegol.

Two years later, Zon would be one of the many aging Starfleet officers involved in the Borg's Frontier Day attack. While Zon and most of his bridge crew were able to survive the onslaught of assimilated young officers, the Explorer would be damaged and the event would serve as a reminder to Zon not to take the advancement of technology for granted. He would re-organize his committment to Unity Station, re-allocating his offices aboard the Explorer instead, and assigned the ship to serve not only as his personal billet, but also as a xenotechnology testing laboratory under his command and ran by now Lieutenant-Commander Kryek. He would also invite trusted non-Starfleet officers aboard in a kind of officer-exchange program. This would generally invite the pilots of Strategic Military Services, a Starfleet contracted Strategic Consulting Firm made up chiefly of former New UN Spacy variable fighter pilots, to work with Kryek as well as function as the Explorer's unofficial starfighter compliment

As of March 2401, Zon continues to Captain the Explorer, using the recently restored ship as his personal flag and billet for Unity Station. The ship is technically assigned to work as an advanced off-site mobile R&D development platform, but recent refits have made it equally capable of first-contact exploration missions and threat-deterrant combat operations.
