Bernie Tyler

Commander Bernie Tyler was a Starfleet officer in the late 24th century.

Personal History
Bernie was on shore leave from the USS Tian An Men (NCC-21382) with his girlfriend Roslyn when their runabout crashed on Aloran IV. Richie Kennedy located them and beamed them onto his runabout, the Neosho. Soon after, they discovered the USS Baldwin (NCC-2013) adrift in space. Richie would become captain of the Baldwin, with Bernie accepting a spot as a operations manager.

During the raid on Torros III, Baldwin was attacked by a Jem'Hadar attack ship, which kidnapped Roslyn by orders of the Dominion. Bernie learned that Roslyn was a augment, and participated in a rescue mission. (: "Meet the Baldwin")

On stardate 51080.7, Bernie was promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander and accepted a postion as executive officer of the USS Ottawa (NCC-75057).

In late August 2377, Ottawa captain Jenna Carson participated in a survey on Grecon IV. After the runabout Verdigris had departed, Ottawa received a distress call from a Cardassian freighter. Also responding was the USS Hainan. In the process of dispatching the attacking ships, one ship intentionally collided with the Hainan, forcing the Ottawa to pick retrieve Hainan's survivors and reuniting Bernie with Roslyn.

Personal relationships
As an ensign aboard the USS Tian An Men (NCC-21382), Bernie was intrigued by a attractive, but shy, young ensign named Roslyn. He asked if he could sit with her in the mess hall. From there, their relationship quickly blossomed until they spent most of their free time together. They had drifted apart after Bernie was transferred to the USS Ottawa (NCC-75057), partially because they had trouble maintaining a long-distance relationship. However, in August of 2377, they renewed their relationship, to the point where they where caught "snogging" in the turbolift.
