To continue her studies, following her newly-developed interest in STEM subjects, Robin traveled to Earth for better educational prospects. While she found being far from home challenging for the first year, she quickly grew to appreciate the opportunities that studying - and living - on Earth afforded. She completed her undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, then went on to complete her masters in Physics at Starfleet Academy in San Francisco. | To continue her studies, following her newly-developed interest in STEM subjects, Robin traveled to Earth for better educational prospects.

During her time studying at Berkeley, Robin first experienced disco music and the band ABBA<ref name=":0">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/yKuRxy3eOTA/m/_NuOlYVtAgAJ (JP) Lt.

After six years studying physics in California, it was hard to ignore the call of Starfleet. She applied for the Academy on a whim, submitting an application to complete her PhD studies that she never expected to be accepted. According to Hopper's own account, she submitted her Academy Application on a dare after drinking eight shots of tequila while celebrating the completion of her Master's thesis<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/7h1iv4s_yjs/m/UwD8npq_AgAJ Lt. Robin Hopper: The Best Decision] (240004.28)</ref>. Much to her surprise, she was accepted. As a Starfleet Cadet, she earned her doctorate in four years and was able to further expand her knowledge of programming through a few elective Engineering courses. This time at the Academy also allowed her to round out her Scientific knowledge, attaining a wider set of skills that would make her a formidable Science Officer upon graduation. As a result of her exceptional studies, Robin graduated Starfleet Academy with the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. | |||

Robin’s first posting was aboard the Oracle Class [[USS Wall Street]] under the command of Captain Sh'Torn. There, she learned quickly amidst a crew of dedicated scientific minds. Her outgoing personality and enthusiasm earned her a spot on the ship’s coveted ‘day shift’ where she would be able to work closely with the vessel’s Chief Science Officer, Trisha Montgomery<ref name=":2">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/aSL0nwcplfs/m/QW7wRgG2AwAJ Lt.

When news of [[Amity Outpost]]’s establishment in the Delta Quadrant reached Robin’s ears, she felt immediately drawn to the distant and exciting deep space station. Already used to an extended mission far from home, the prospect of traveling months away from Federation space seemed totally worth it in exchange for an opportunity to work in such an advanced and resourced Science and Research Center – not to mention the chance to meet denizens of the Delta Quadrant. She had also long been intrigued by the story of Voyager, following it closely as a child<ref name=":4" />, which only enhanced the draw of the new Outpost. | When news of [[Amity Outpost]]’s establishment in the Delta Quadrant reached Robin’s ears, she felt immediately drawn to the distant and exciting deep space station.

Excited at the prospect, and with Chief Science Officer Montgomery’s recommendation on her file, Robin requested a transfer to Amity Outpost in mid-2399 and decided to end her relationship with Retel, then a Lieutenant JG, as she didn't put much faith in long-distance relationships. | Excited at the prospect, and with Chief Science Officer Montgomery’s recommendation on her file, Robin requested a transfer to Amity Outpost in mid-2399 and decided to end her relationship with Retel, then a Lieutenant JG, as she didn't put much faith in long-distance relationships.[[File:Hopper-Red-550.png|160px|thumb|right|<center>Acting First Officer of the USS Jemison, 2400.</center>]] | ||

Once her transfer was approved, Robin spent her remaining time aboard the ''Wall Street'' tying up loose ends and finishing off projects, as well as training her replacement. She left many of her personal belongings behind, bringing only what she could fit in her duffel bag, a portal transporter buffer, and her prized Stromanthe Triostar plant<ref name=":2" />. Arriving in late July, 2399, Robin quickly became acquainted with her new colleagues and received a briefing in the station's extensive Science and Research Center (or SRC) from Science Officer Lieutenant [[Kivik]]<ref name=":3" />. | |||
Kivik also requested Hopper's assistance in supporting an injured crewmember with a personal project<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/OYQpIu9LX9Y/m/OaA2nVmXAAAJ Lt.

Later, while Amity Outpost fostered diplomatic outreach to several Hirogen Tribes, Hopper acted as the First Officer of the USS Jemison, under the command of Wil Ukinix. The Jemison, along with the USS Halsey, under Commander Addison MacKenzie, would be paired up on "Blue Team" - along with several Hirogen vessels - and engage in a simulated rescue operation and war games<ref>[[Robin_Hopper/Stories#Mission:_Worthy_Prey_(240001-240002)|Story: Mission - Worthy Prey]]</ref>. | |||
