Biography
Born in 2354 on Earth, Jonathan Walker spent the majority of his childhood in and around the SOL system. It wasn’t until he was a teenager, and in High School, that he first made a deep space trek; which was a part of a school archeology assignment – the class spent two weeks visiting ancient ruins across the Federation. As a child Walker enjoyed playing games and having fun, all the while pushing the limits of what he was allowed to do. Someone who believed in his passions, Walker isn’t afraid to stand up for what he believes in, and would oftentimes get himself into dangerous situations for saying things that might have best gone unsaid.
Upon entering Starfleet Academy in the fall of 2372, Walker soon decided to major in Engineering, and Starship Design. Throughout his four years in San Francisco, Walker would try his hardest to maintain good marks as well as to exceed all expectations. With the Dominion War in full swing, the majority of the subject matter covered at the Academy was combat orientated, however Walker was still able to concentrate on Starship Design.
With his graduation in 2376, Walker would be assigned to the USS Farragut as an Assistant Engineering Officer, where he would remain for the next two years. During his tenure on the Farragut, Walker would be injured several times, at least one of those times with serious Plasma Burns – which would require an extended recovery.
For the next six years Walker would be assigned to the USS Florida, and would take part in several highly sensitive operations, including an armed raid on a Romulan Colony – during which several crewmates would be KIA and WIA. For about five months in the spring of 2382, Jon took part in a highly classified undercover operation on the Romulan Colony at Galorndon Core. This assignment, which required surgical alteration of Walker’s physical features, would tax him emotionally, as he became a mole in the Tal Shair.
Two years later, in 2384, Walker was promoted and transferred to station Deep Space 17 to serve as the Chief Engineering Officer. During his assignment at DS17, Walker would be faced with a series of challenges – which would end with his court marshal and reassignment.
In July of 2385 Walker would be assaulted by a Junior Officer with severe emotional trauma. The assault quickly turned into a brawl, which ended with the Junior Officer suffering extensive injuries. No charges were brought against Walker, however the J.O. would be dishonorably discharged from active duty.
In February of 2387 Walker would be forced to make an almost impossible choice when he was forced to send one of his own officers to her death in order to save the entire station. This decision had a large impact on his emotional state, and is still visible today.
In 2389 Lt. Cmdr Walker is transferred to the USS Coral Sea, as her Chief Engineering Officer during a two year mission that would take the ship far from Federation Space. As the small Intrepid Refit Class Vessel made her way deep into uncharted space, tensions between the crew ran high, ultimately leading to Walker breaching a direct order from the Coral Sea’s CO, and causing several diplomats from an alien species to be killed. In response to this dereliction of duty, but realizing that the Coral Sea was still far from Starfleet and needed an experienced Chief Engineer, Walker was allowed to keep his position, but received a demotion in rank.
Upon the Coral Sea’s return to Federation Space in 2401, Walker was transferred to Earth’s Los Angeles Ship Yards to serve as her Chief of Yard maintenance and supply (IE: Chief of Operational Management).
