Ian Phillips

Captain Ian Phillips is Captain of the Federation starship USS Balaclava. Phillips was born on Earth in 2372 to Amber and Marcus Phillips.

Early Years
Ian was educated at several schools in Scotland, Earth. Although not the brightest of children, he managed to get surprisingly high marks, and his parents enroled him to the Starfleet Juniors school at age 8.

Ian at the Academy
Ian struggled at Starfleet. Although he did very well in his education, many fellow cadets made fun of his upbringing. In 2380, at age 9, Ian was given an assignment on the USS Titanic as a Lt. Commander. When that ship was "unfortunetly" destroyed by a black hole in the Gateway System, Ian was given his first command, the USS Batony Bay.

The USS Batony Bay
Ian turned out to be a great commander of this Superfreighter and performed many cargo runs before the USS Batony Bay was destroyed at the Borg Elimination Incident in 2384. See full article.
