Everett Palmer

Lieutenant commander Everett Palmer was the chief engineer of the USS Baldwin (NCC-2013) until the ship was abandoned in 2309.

During a mission of exploration of the Aloran Sector, the Baldwin would encounter a hostile Cardassian warship. the crew was able to destroy the enemy vessel, but at the cost of a hull breach on the bridge which blew out the bridge crew, including Captain Patrick C. Ingrum and first officer Jennifer Ripley. As the surviving senior officer, Commander Palmer gave the order to abandon ship.

In 2309, his wife was pregant with their fifth child, a girl. They choose to name her Tiana because, after having four boys, the youngest would be the "princess" of the family.

His great-grandson Patrick R. Ingrum, named after the Baldwins original captain, would recover the Baldwin nearly 65 years later and become Baldwins second captain.
