Biography
Patrick Jacob Donzall was born on stardate 237801.29 on Earth. His mother, Gertrude Newland, was a Starfleet science officer involved in rebuilding the B'Kar settlement on Boradis II after the Borg attacks. Here she met Ja'Kob Donzall; a B'Kar Starfleet officer who was responsible for security in the settlement during the rebuild. They fell in love and got married under Terran traditions and values on Stardate 237506.12 in San Francisco, Earth.
After they got married, Gertrude resigned from the fleet and began to make a home for them on Earth. Ja'Kob still served aboard a Starfleet vessel and was thus ordered on an intelligence recon-mission into Romulan space on Stardate 237705.04. All contact with Ja'Kob Donzall's ship was lost and they were never heard from again. Ja'Kob was declared Missing in Action on stardate 237707.04, after contact with his ship had been nill for over a month. Intelligence had also reported it as captured or possibly destroyed. Ja'Kob never knew Gertrude was pregnant when he left on his mission and Patrick never knew his father. In honour of his memory, Gertrude gave Patrick a middle name, after his father: Jacob. Patrick left for the Academy at the age of 16, after heavy protest from his mother. He followed his heart and worked his way through the academy and graduated, moving onto his first post as Asst. Operations Officer on Deep Space Europa.
He spent two years aboard DS Europa as AEO, very often having to step in as Acting Chief when CEO Elch was tending to his duties in the Q continuum. Donzall's mother passed away from an as of yet unknown neural illness called Newland's Disease, aptly named after his mother who was the first to succomb to said illness. Patrick was torn by her death, but due to the Federation's state of war with the Romulans at the time, couldn't even attend her funeral. To make matters worse, his Academy roomie and best friend Mark Benton, serving under Donzall's father's best friend Captain Carey DeVere, was killed when a Romulan Bird of Prey attacked the Galaxy class USS Valley.
On stardate 240109.10 Donzall was caught in an accident with an experimental Dimensional Shift Transporter. He returned to the station four months later. Phasing in and out of our galaxy and the M64 Galaxy where he was apparently transported during the accident. At one moment science officer William Valcor had reconfigured the repaired DST's to such an extent that he could lock on to Donzall's signature and pull him back to our galaxy. His memory of the time in the M64 quadrant was blurry to say the least. He remembered serving aboard a Starfleet vessel in the capacity of StratOps officer, but not much else. Later, after the ship returned into the Milky Way galaxy, the logs of the USS Anderson-A revealed Patrick Donzall had served aboard that ship as her Strategic Operations officer.
After his return, he first resumed his duties as AEO and Tactical Systems Mission Specialist on the station. Not long after that, he was transferred to the post of Strategic Operations Officer and served there until the XO at the time, Cmdr Sonrisa Forrester, had to resign due to undisclosed personal reasons. He was asked to take the post of XO and soon became CO, due to Captain Kang's disappearance.
The crew of Deep Space Europa wound up discovering a previously completely unknown species in the direct area of the station. The species, calling themselves Anarchs, exhibited very xenophobic traits and following several incidents, the Anarch hostilities started to become an actual war threat for the sector.
Much to the dismay of his crew, Starfleet Command was forced to asked now Commander Donzall to resign his command in favour of a more experienced Captain DeVere (daughter of his father's best friend, now Commodore Carey DeVere), after several more incidents concerning the Anarch war threat.
He spent some time as a guest Advanced Engineering teacher at Starfleet Academy while on Earth. When he heard DS Europa had 'disappeared' from their position, he and Admiral Carey DeVere took out the USS Valley to try and find the station. After three months, Command pulled back the Valley and Donzall continued his search with a small crew on a runabout. One month into his search, the runabout USS Marconi came under attack from several Anarch vessels in the area of space DS Europa had been. The newly commissioned USS Edinburgh came to the runabout's rescue, but all vessels in that direct area disappeared shortly after the Edinburgh reported to have arrived at the scene. No signs of either vessel were received by Starfleet until the establishment of two way communication with the Alphacentious Galaxy.
Six months after his disappearance Commander Donzall ‘fell’ out of thin air on a Starfleet temporal research compound. Strangely enough he had been helping a scientist in the Alpha Centious galaxy build a working dimensional shift transporter. His re-appearance caused Starfleet to hold the commander for further investigation into the circumstances of his appearance and disappearance. After 4 months he was re-released to active duty and took on an ad-interim position as Executive Officer on the Starbase known as Aurora.
After he was relieved from the ad interim position, he was asked by Starfleet to return to Earth and participate in a project for the Advanced Engineering Development Department. With the project done and a colony in the Gamma quadrant in need of a Chief Engineer, after a short shore leave, Commander Donzall packed a duffel bag, hopped a transportation vessel and travelled to Xonnel. Not long after arrival there, Xonnel Colony was returned to Civilian government and the Starfleet presence was moved to the newly constructed starbase 204 several light years away, called Zetari Station.
Following the murder of Colonel Robert McQueen, Donzall was left as the most senior officer on the station. Rear Admiral Trael Bren asked him to take the position of XO to prevent a vaccuum. Donzall was given a field promotion to Captain, in order to serve under a Rear Admiral.
When Bren was reassigned during a Starfleet senior staff reshuffle, he took command of the station as ranking officer. Lieutenant Commander Julianna Kaye took the position of XO on the command team with Donzall. His field promotion was overturned upon the surprising but deserved appointment of Julianna Kaye as commanding officer of Starbase 204. He resumed his duties as Executive officer with the rank of commander, happily serving under the woman he was dating.
During the Zybor assault on the station at the beginning of 2407, Donzall was on a reconnaissance mission on the USS Mjolnir where he was abducted by the android race. After a while, Starfleet even declared him MIA, presumably dead.
6 months after his disappearance he showed up in Montana at the Kaye family home on the North American continent on Earth in the Sol System. He had aged approximately 28 years in his life, although in this reality only 6 months had gone by.
After having been captured by the Zybor, the Phi unit that had been interrogating him malfunctioned and allowed him to escape. Unfortunately for Donzall, the only way out of where he was, was some sort of dimensional portal that he ran into by accident.
Finding himself on a planet called Seq.Oria in another dimension, he frantically searched for ways to reproduce the portal. The Jacen people he was 'adopted' by, who had been driven to the edge of extinction by Zybor assaults, were brilliant scientists and helped him achieve that goal.
For 28 years he had been traveling through dimensional and temporal portals trying to find his way back to his own time and dimension and back to Julianna.
Unfortunately he only had 47 hours to stay in that dimension until an implanted device of Jacen design called a las.hir that allowed him to travel this way would ‘suck’ him back into a portal. During those 47 hours he and Julianna inadvertently entered into a B'Kar.
Donzall returned to Seq.Oria where he had the responsibility of 'leading' one of the Jacen resistance cells against the Zybor while the Jacen helped him find a way to return to his own dimension permanently.
While on a resistance mission, he accidentally discovered that there was a group of Zybor calling themselves The Cluster that were rebelling against their establishment.
The Cluster asked for Donzall and the Jacen's help. He ended up leading a contingent of Jacen and 'renegade' Zybor back to his own dimension through portals created with the help of Cluster Zybor scientists, where they destroyed the head of the Zybor called Iota Prime, severely destabilizing and crippeling the Zybor in the Gamma Quadrant.
Moments before Zetari's marine and security forces succeeded in blowing up Iota Prima, Donzall had an encounter with Iota Prime's 'firewall' Beta One. This autonomous computer program inexplicably and for unknown reasons, removed Donzall's las.hir. After the las.hir had been removed, Donzall's molecular structure started to go back to normal and he effectively de-aged to the physical age he has in this dimension.
Not much later, a Starfleet admiral called Emmer, whom has an intense dislike for Donzall for as of yet unknown reasons, decided he was too happy. The man pulled strings and Donzall was informed he was needed elsewhere. So now, the place he called home and woman he had fought so hard and long for to be with had to be left behind.
After a short interlude on Earth, Donzall was informed that he would be taking the position of Chief Engineering Officer on Astate Colony in the Beta Quadrant.
Medical History
- Was treated for shrapnell wounds in his left arm
- During an attack on DSE fell on a cracked isolinear rod and punctured his left leg, was treated
- During same attack and in the same fall bruised his right upper-arm, was treated
- Was inadvertently transported to the M64 galaxy on SD 240109.10 and returned to this galaxy four months later. No apparent physical harm resulting of this. Mentally Donzall suffered a slight memory loss from the period of his disappearance to the point of his return. Psychological therapy is underway.
- A neurological device of undetermined design was removed from his left lobe. The device was planted there without physical signs of surgery while in captivity by his Anarch captors. This neurological device somehow stimulated his dorment B'Kar brainfunctions to emerge and become active. He is now therefore an active empath and telepath.
- Was transported through a portal to another galaxy and returned 6 months later, showing signs of elevated chroniton particles and moleculair instability. His molecular structure was stabilized and the chroniton radiation dissipated naturally.
- Suffered severe second degree burnwounds in an undisclosed experiment at AEDD, skin was regenerated and grafted over the wounds
- Suffered from severe molecular cellular degredation and genetic decay due to prolonged exposure to interdimensional unknowns; after removal of a Jacen device called las.hir was declared healed
