Background

---

Taggart has dreamed of being a Starfleet Marine since the age of five. His bedroom being plastered with posters his father had somehow managed to score for him from the local enlistment office, models of ships that had housed famous Marines, and a couple of replicated regimental flags. He even collected an entire set of bubblegum cards that between them showcased the insignia of every single Marine regiment and squadron in Starfleet as well as having his uncles dress uniform rank insignia. Being the eldest - and only male - of his siblings, he was named Simeon in the tradition of his family. Taggart looks up to his Uncle as a hero-figure, as his death was in the line of his duty as a Starfleet officer and simply doing his job. In part this has formed the younger Taggart's desire to "make a difference". Medals and accolades don't interest him, and promotion only mildly. He wants to be a good Marine and keep people safe.

The morning after his nineteenth birthday, Private Taggart was found asleep in one of the many fountains on the promenade. He was wearing a pair of cargo shorts underneath a bright pink tutu, and a dark green t-shirt with the sleeves roughly cut off that bore the insignia of the 292nd Marine Infantry on the left breast. He was wearing a tiara that was bent out of shape, pink fishnet gloves and a bright pink sash floated nearby that said “Birthday Princess”, whilst a huge pin badge proclaiming “19 Today!” was hung around his neck on a cord as a make-do medallion. His face had been plastered with rouge, lipstick and eye makeup whilst Taggart’s left arm bore the red and sore looking inking of a pretty fresh tattoo of his regiments crest, above a simple inscribing of “Recon”.

Private Taggart was part of the Marine insertion that took control of the Orion pirate ship Skullmasher, later being promoted to Corporal by Major Tatash and transferred into Alpha Company.

Two of Taggart's closed friends, Privates Selkirk and Lockwood were murdered by the Orion Syndicate whilst being held prisoner in the mines of Dominicus VI.He was later promoted to Sergeant as the senior squad leader of his platoon by Marine Captain Victoria MacMahon upon her taking command of Alpha Company.

In late-2397 and early-2398 Taggart undertook a training course that included standard Starfleet Security and Diplomatic modules with the intention of helping to form a proposed Diplomatic Protection Squad within the 292nd Marines. Having completed the course Taggart was promoted to the fleet rank of Ensign instead of the Marines 2nd Lieutenant equivalent and reassigned to the Starfleet Diplomatic Corps aboard the station as a dedicated SDC Security Officer.

Simeon Taggart Uncle (Deceased) Marine Officer Major Simeon Taggart was a Marine officer with a secondary specialization in engineering who was killed aboard the USS Merida-C after a miscalculation by a junior crewman. The explosion cast Major Taggart, the crewman in question and fourteen others including the both the Merida's Chief and Assistant Chief Engineers into the cold of space before emergency shielding sealed the hull breach. He was the older brother of Christopher Taggart.

Arturo Maxwell Friend and fellow musician. Former Chief Tactical Officer of Starbase 118. A former member of the same string quartet as Taggart along with Julien Paradi and a civilian named Martina Rossi, who is an exceptionally gifted musician and the quartets unofficial leader.

Janul Friend and unlikely sparring partner. An officer serving in the stations Security Department. Taggart first met "quite possibly the biggest Klingon in the galaxy" during an evening in the Broken Tankard. Taggart quickly earned the enormous Klingon's respect and the two have been firm friends ever since.

Julien Paradi Friend and fellow muscican. A Crewman in the stations Operations Division Paradi is another member of the string quartet alongside Martina Rossi and one other. Recognising trauma when he see's it, Taggart has kept his observations that Paradi does not seem himself recently as unspoken ones.

Gazkra Friend and Marine. A fellow squad leader in Taggart's former platoon. A close friend and also the Marine who was introduced to the joys of milkshakes by Taggart. Gazkra is also the Marine that stood by Taggart during his recovery from taking part in a Klingon "Feast of Blades".
