(Starship Deimos: "Pas de Trois", "The Lucky One", "Aftermath", "The Archive", "No Greater Love...", "Shattered Sky", "The Deimos Factor"", "Where They Have Gone, We Follow", "Diplomatic Relations", "Butterfly Effect", "Leviathan", "Together in the Night", "Refugee")

Starfleet career

Faron majored in Communications at Starfleet Academy and dual-minored in Military History and Command Studies. He was shown to have expert piloting skills. Faron graduated at the top of his class, and won awards for decryption and deciphering. While at the Academy, he had an internship with the Starfleet Communications Network; as well, Faron was an assistant to the Dean of the Academy Communications College.

Faron's first deep-space assignment was at Starbase 220, where he served as assistant communications officer and backup stellar cartographer for two years.

His next assignment was as the chief of stellar cartography, doubling as the second assistant communications officer, on the USS Denniston for one year.

This ship may have been named after Lieutenant Commander Radcliffe "Pete" Denniston, Jr. (1916-1944), a U.S. Navy aviator of World War II.

After his service on the Denniston, Faron was posted as chief communications officer on the USS Sequoyah for three years. On Sequoyah, he developed systems that aided Starfleet officers in First Contact and diplomatic situations. As well, some of these systems aided Starfleet's Department of Military Operations in data mining and information gathering.

For four years, Faron was chief intelligence officer on the USS Valley Forge. During his tour of duty, Valley Forge was ostensibly doing charting surveys near the Neutral Zone. In truth, the ship was involved in classified missions.

While stationed at a Vulcan Embassy, Faron was seconded to the Federation Diplomatic Information Corps, Military Communications Department. He was assigned here for four years.

It was not specified as to which Vulcan Embassy Faron was assigned.

Prior to his assignment to the Deimos, Faron was stationed at Starbase 215 for three years in the Research department of its Communications Division. Here, he helped maintain and update intelligence-gathering protocols and equipment.

Family

Faron was born to Jonathan Faron, a systems design engineer, and Vera La'Cheay Faron, a singer and classical pianist who was a professor of music at the Juilliard School in New York City, on Earth. He had one sister, Aria Anne Faron Murphy.
