Jonin Faltyne

Formally, Jonin ch'Faltyne served as chief engineer of the USS. (Star Trek: Independence)

Early life
Jonin Faltyne hated water. Having come from the sub-arctic world of Andor, he had learned from an early age to swim as a matter of course. Despite his racial heritage, he despised the liquid medium. The feeling of his body gliding through water was more alien to him than soaring through the cosmos at warp speed. Streams, rivers, lakes or oceans, it made no difference.

Starfleet Academy
Faltyne had found the mandatory swimming courses at Starfleet Academy's enormous aquatic facility outside Tokyo to be a particularly arduous portion of his training, one he'd swore never to repeat if it could be helped.

Starfleet Service
Beginning his service in the Security/Tactical branch, he'd demonstrated a gift for leadership early on. Each of his service evaluations had contained greater praise than the one before, and in preparation for an eventual rise to the command division, he'd transferred to the Operations branch. He had been pegged by higher-ups a rising star.

The Andorian had lost a ship once before, in a doomed attempt to re-take Betazed from the Dominion's clutches just hours after the Jem'Hadar had seized the planet.

USS Phoenix
Jonin served as Chief of Operations on the Nebula-class vessel. In March of 2376, he piloted a shuttle filled with Security personnel down to a Cardassian colony in the Crolsa system. During the flight, the Phoenix was hit by a biological weapon. Captain Banti Awokou and over 400 members of his crew suffered immediate and irreparable brain damage from the toxin, resulting in paralysis and complete loss of voluntary muscle control.

He resisted orders to return to the Gibraltar afterwards.

In the aftermath of the incident, he temporary served as first officer to Commander Liana Ramirez, while she assumed command.

In a battle with Cardassian insurgents, the ship was lost. He got injured crew members to the lifepods and launched them. (Star Trek: Gibraltar "Embers of Fire")
