Jenna Carson

Captain Jenna Carson was a Starfleet officer in the late 24th century. (USS Baldwin)

Starfleet Career

At Starfleet Academy, Jenna was assigned to Pike Hall and excelled in the history of the original USS Enterprise and Captain Kirk. After graduation, Jenna was assigned to the USS Larned (USS Baldwin: "Bullseye," "The Return of Khan"). Eventually, she was transferred to the USS Intrepid, where Captain Saavik became intrigued with her performance. Saavik promoted her to a full lieutenant and eventually made her the ship's Second Officer. When Patrick Ingrum received his first command, the USS Baldwin, Admiral William Ross recommended Jenna for the first officer spot, which Patrick offered to her at Quark's Bar on Deep Space Nine, making note of her achievements. She accepted the offer (USS Baldwin: "The Find").

Soon after, Jenna was offered command of the new USS Ottawa. She accepted the ship and received her promotion and ship on stardate 51110.9. (USS Baldwin: "Wartime Productions")

On stardate 52162, Jenna was made the second in command of the 10th Squadron of the 5th Fleet, once again serving under Patrick Ingrum. One of her first acts under this position was signing off on duty roster for the USS Wildfire when Patrick rescued himself because he had family aboard that ship. She routinely met with Patrick aboard the Baldwin to discuss the squadron's activities. (USS Baldwin: "Determined Warrior," "Bullseye")

Personal relationships

Patrick Ingrum

Jenna and Patrick Ingrum were classmates in high school. The two did not always get along, arguing about which one of them was a better pilot. (USS Baldwin: "Wild Roses") By 2374, their differences had been resolved, and they maintained a good personal and professional relationship. (USS Baldwin: "The Find")

Susan Cassoday and Sonya Fiehrer

Jenna has known Susan Cassoday and Sonya Fiehrer since they were children. The three grew up together in the same town. During their childhood, they had gone on a campout on Deneva when the weather modification network failed, causing it to rain. The three also camped out on Grecon IV in 2377, where a lightning strike disabled the runabout Verdigris. (USS Baldwin: "Like the Rain")

She was also acquainted with Shandy Rogers, as they were both residents of Pike Hall at Starfleet Academy (USS Baldwin: "Bullseye")
