Captain La Forge in an alternate timeline |
Geordi La Forge was a Starfleet officer on active duty in at least the 24th century.
LaForge was born in the African Confederation on 16 February, 2335 (TNG: "Cause and Effect") to Edward and Silva LaForge. (TNG: "Interface") He was raised in the city of Mogadishu (TNG novel: Losing the Peace), where he graduated from Zefram Cochrane High School. (Star Trek: First Contact)
LaForge served aboard the USS Enterprise-D from 2364 until her destruction in 2371. Originally the conn officer aboard Enterprise, he was promoted to chief engineer in 2365, a position he would also hold aboard the USS Enterprise-E until 2383. Blind from birth, Geordi saw with the aid of a VISOR, and later received ocular implants. Aboard the Enterprise, he was the best friend of the android Data. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint", "The Child", "Data's Day", et. al; Star Trek Generations; Star Trek: First Contact)
Commander LaForge joined a team of engineering specialists aboard USS Challenger to repair a long-lost NX-class ship in 2383. (TNG novel: Indistinguishable From Magic)
By 2385, he was promoted to captain and became the commanding officer of the Challenger. (Indistinguishable From Magic, Star Trek: Artemis)
Fan continuities[]
30 Worlds: Royal Megaforce: "Masters of the Ultimate Power"[]
By 2385, La Forge had been promoted to Commodore and became the curator (sometimes titled "Docent") of the Fleet Museum, where--as a personal project--he reassembled the Enterprise-D piece by piece over a period of nearly twenty years. (PIC: "Võx").
LaForge even took direct command of the Enterprise-D as it--along with other Fleet Museum exhibit ships--assisted a Scarlett Army fleet in its final battle with the Army of Inter-Universal Chaos.
The Unreliable's Light[]
In 2366, La Forge was a part of the crew of the USS Valkyrie and had taken time off to help with the upgrade of the Unreliable. He deliberately had the visual aesthetics kept the same, and had managed to have it finished within 2 months. (New Ewe On Deck)
