Captain Reinette Hernandez was a Starfleet officer in the late 24th century. She was the commanding officer of the USS Effingham, and spent much of the Dominion War as the executive officer of the USS Baldwin under Patrick Ingrum.
Starfleet career[]
Captain Patrick Ingrum selected Reinette as his second officer soon after he took command of Baldwin in 2374. (USS Baldwin: "The Find") After former executive officer Jenna Carson took command of the USS Ottawa, Reinette was promoted to lieutenant commander and made the new XO.
In late 2375, she was selected as part of a cultural envoy to the Ba'ku. Patrick would personally take her to her new assignment. (USS Baldwin: "Only the Young")
By November of 2376, she had been promoted to the rank of captain, while still serving as a cultural envoy. (USS Baldwin: "Drift off to Dream")
In 2377, Reinette was assigned to lead the refit of two Akira-class ships, the USS Effingham and the USS Winchester. In November of [[2377], both ships were assigned to the 10th Squadron of the Fifth fleet, a cruiser wing led by the Baldwin and Captain Ingrum. Winchester was ready first, and was offered to USS Ottawa XO Bernie Tyler. However, mindful of her ties to the 10th squadron and Captain Ingrum, Reinette was asked to stay on as Effingham's captain.
