Jack, born Jonathan Edward, was born on stardate 234202.10, the son of Captain Matthew Kelray (USS Firebird) and Federation Ambassador Meredith Johannah (of the New Swiss Combine, NSC). The extent of his early years is correlated between the missions of the USS Firebird with the assignments of his mother. Jack was very much the product of a Starfleet family, and during the bulk of his early years indoctrined into the history of his mother’s Canon. | Jack, born Jonathan Edward, was born on stardate 234202.10, the son of Captain Matthew Kelray (USS Firebird) and Federation Ambassador Meredith Johannah (of the New Swiss Combine, NSC).

He flew with his father consistently between the ages of ten (10) to sixteen (16) and through the ship, Jack passed the clearance examination for ship piloting prior to entering Starfleet Academy two years earlier in 2358, bound for Flight School and decided to take the Intelligence Securities Entrance Examination (mostly for fun), which earned his cadet Intelligence clearance. | He flew with his father consistently between the ages of ten (10) to sixteen (16) and through the ship, Jack passed the clearance examination for ship piloting prior to entering Starfleet Academy two years earlier in 2358, bound for Flight School and decided to take the Intelligence Securities Entrance Examination (mostly for fun), which earned his cadet Intelligence clearance. | ||

Jack was on assignment training what would be his last trainee, a young man by the name of Danny Wilde, when the word reached him. An Orion raid into Erathia, hundreds of lives killed, hundreds missing. He left his protégé half trained and shot back to the starbase to find it a smoking ruin, the colony below, the smoke could be seen from space. | Jack was on assignment training what would be his last trainee, a young man by the name of [[Wilde, Danny | Danny Wilde]], when the word reached him.

The grand total: 853 men, women and children killed. 143 were missing, taken as slaves from the Orion raid. Among the dead, his wife Caitlin. His daughter Elizabeth was among the missing. Jack spent the next couple months requesting SFI to go after the missing Federation citizens to no avail. | The grand total: 853 men, women and children killed. 143 were missing, taken as slaves from the Orion raid.

On stardate 2380.0315, Kelray submitted his resignations and before SFI or Starfleet could catch up to him, he raided the Beta Andreas and stole an experimental fighter craft. He disappeared off radar. Two days later, SFI issued the arrest warrant for Jack Kelray and bumped him into Starfleet’s 10 Most Wanted. | On stardate 2380.0315, Kelray submitted his resignations and before SFI or Starfleet could catch up to him, he raided the Beta Andreas and stole an experimental fighter craft.

For the next three years, Jack traversed space chasing leads, bouncing between Orion, into the Ithassa Region, back into Federation Space, occasionally breaking into the SFI database for leads. Unable to return, chased by those he himself had trained a few, Kelray managed to stay one step ahead until returning to the Ithassa in late 2383 where he got caught in the cross-fire of an invading Gorn armada that forced him back to land on Starfleet’s DS17 facility. | For the next three years, Jack traversed space chasing leads, bouncing between Orion, into the Ithassa Region, back into Federation Space, occasionally breaking into the SFI database for leads.

He came to help, but spent most of his time in the brig until the [[ma:Gorn | Gorn]] finally invaded the starbase. Jack was forced to use his backup emergency plan before getting shot and beamed out of confinement to convince a bunch of marines to join him. | ||
They managed to vaccum the point of penetration before Kelray led his small strike team on a dirty, fast strike inside the Gorn flagship. Unfortunately, it happened right before the USS Independence rammed the Gorn flagship and they quickly had to beam themselves out of there. | They managed to vaccum the point of penetration before Kelray led his small strike team on a dirty, fast strike inside the Gorn flagship.

Kelray got snagged by one of the FTU ships engaged in the Battle for DS17 and spent several months being treated for burns and injuries before he was well enough to move some credits. He bought out the ship contract with the intention of giving it back to the FTU crew as a means of thank you (also, because he planned to use it as a diversion). Unfortunately, his plan backfired when the crew signed on to help him on his personal mission: | Kelray got snagged by one of the [[FTU]] ships engaged in the Battle for DS17 and spent several months being treated for burns and injuries before he was well enough to move some credits.

Kelray ended up captaining a rechristened FTU ship, the FSS Odyssey. He and his inherited crew blasted out of a FTU base facility and that was the last anyone saw of the them or the ship… until later. | Kelray ended up captaining a rechristened FTU ship, the [[FSS Odyssey]].
