Oberon Vega

Physical Description: He's tall, over six foot, and wiry. He does not fuss over his skin, beard, or hair. There are often dark circles under his eyes.

Personality Description: Oberon is severe and unflinchingly rigid. He expects total compliance and a high level of performance at all times; the latter a standard he applies to himself as well. He's rare to admit a mistake, and fast to punish. His temper is notorious and as time has passed, he's gotten more and more secretive. He seems to have shed any personal attachments, forming his entire identity around his command.

Early Life: Oberon Vega was born on the Federation colony Salva II in 2325 to a large hardworking family. Everyone was supposed to be provided for in the Federation, but in practice it didn't always shake out fairly, especially on the edge of things. Oberon was trouble-prone from an early age, and his resentment of the injustices he percieved contributed to a growing Take What's Yours streak.

Starfleet: No one was too surprised that Oberon left to enlist in Starfleet as soon as he could (2343), eschewing what he felt was the soft Academy path. His early years in Starfleet were striped - alternating between disciplinary issues and commendations for leadership. His best reputation was that of a hard-working and driven man. His sins were largely about pressing against command and working above his station, but rarely to catastrophic effect. Ends justifying the means served him well - by the mid 2050s, he was accepted into officer training and earned a commision. He took on the command track.

Dominion War, 2373 - 2375: During the Dominion War, Commander Vega served as the executive officer on one of Starfleet's key ships. He solidified his credentials as an effective leader and it was easy for Starfleet Command to overlook his severity in the face of survival during wartime. By the end of the war he had the rank of captain.

To present Since the end of the Dominion War, Captain Vega has held various small commands, often of strange or specialized nature. He'll take assignments that others might balk at, and run them ragged. Command considers him a problem solver. Not their first option, but certainly the last one they'd need.
