Lieutenant Colonel Wes Greaves is a human male currently serving as the Marine Detachment Commander aboard the USS Octavia E Butler.

	Appearance

Wes Greaves wears his hair short. Buzzed short. A thin layer of light brown hair usually nigh invisible in direct sunlight. The human man is relatively short compared to most of the species, standing at 5'7", and cut into a lean frame. At first glance it is easy to see he is dedicated to his personal fitness, but he is certainly no heavy lifter. A runner would be a safer assumption. Below thin eyebrows, a pair of dull gray-blue eyes peer out at the world, framed by a lightly wrinkled face whose skin has certainly not been spared from days beneath the sun.

• Height: 5'7"
• Weight: 170 lbs
• Hair: Brown
• Eyes: Blue
• Build: Athletic

	Background

Childhood

Born in 2366 on the outskirts of Seattle, Washington, Wes Greaves was raised amid the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. His childhood was filled with hiking in the Cascade Mountains, sailing on Puget Sound, and camping in the wilderness, activities that fostered a lifelong love for the outdoors. By his teenage years, Wes had turned weekend climbing trips into a regular pursuit, exploring some of Earth’s most iconic peaks. Inspired by the Federation's resilience during the Borg incursions, Wes resolved to serve its people. At 18, combining his passion for nature with a sense of duty, he sought out a Marine Corps recruiter’s office and enlisted.

Enlistment

After completing basic training as a combat engineer, Wes’ first assignment was with the 1st Marine Division on Mars. He later joined Task Force 51/5, an anti-piracy operation where he encountered his first combat both in space and on planetary surfaces. Demonstrating skill and adaptability, Wes was reassigned to the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, which focused on counter-piracy missions. Here, he experienced the tragic loss of Private Paul Newson, the first Marine under his leadership to die in combat. This event nearly led Wes to leave the Corps, but through the mentorship of Major Ron Jordans, he recommitted himself to the mission and found new purpose.

In 2391, Wes completed Advanced Marine Training, earned a promotion to Staff Sergeant, and was assigned to the USS Hood as part of a newly formed Marine Detachment under Major Jordans. Initially reluctant about a “Navy” posting, Wes soon came to appreciate life aboard the Hood during its extended mission to assist Romulan refugees in the aftermath of the Hobus supernova. Working closely with Starfleet personnel, Wes gained a newfound respect for the collaborative nature of Starfleet operations. Inspired by the mentorship of Major Jordans and the opportunities he witnessed aboard the ship, Wes applied for Starfleet Academy to pursue a commission.

Starfleet Academy

Wes entered Starfleet Command School, majoring in Helm and Communications to gain a deeper understanding of starship operations. He sought to complement his Marine Corps training by exploring Starfleet's broader principles and leadership styles. The Academy challenged Wes to temper his hard-edged Marine mentality and embrace collaboration and diplomacy, skills that would later define his career.

By his third year, Wes had rediscovered sailing, joining the Academy’s sailing club. Between coursework, he spent much of his free time at sea with the club’s crew, enjoying the opportunity to balance rigorous studies with a return to his roots in nature.

Embassy to Duronis II

Commissioned as a second lieutenant in 2397, Wes was assigned to the Federation Embassy on Duronis II. Within days of his arrival, he was thrust into a mission to stop a Romulan plot involving dangerous protomatter. The mission required immediate action, and Wes joined the Embassy crew in thwarting the scheme. The success of this operation coincided with the Federation’s acceptance of the Laudeans into its membership, marking the end of the Embassy's mission. Wes and many of the core personnel transferred to the newly commissioned USS Thor.

USS Thor

The maiden voyage of the USS Thor with her new tasking involved responding to the distress call of a colony thought lost 250 years prior. The distress call was located on the other side of the quadrant from where the entire solar system had gone missing. During the mission, Wes was severely injured during a cave in while traversing an underground tunnel system. Fortunately, through the hard work of the crew and the tenacious descendants of the original colonists, the away team was recovered and able to effect a rescue. Not only were 192 surviving colonists rescued, but a previously unknown sentient species named the Azcou were rescued from the planet before it was lost to time again.

Shortly after the completion of the mission, the colonists and the Azcou were transferred to more appropriate conditions and the crew underwent shore leave at Ferenginar. Major Hannibal Parker transferred to the USS Veritas, leaving Wes as the acting Marine Det Commander for the time.

Following the transfer of personnel from Vel Maijan, the crew of the USS Thor enjoyed shore leave on Ferenginar. Doctor Alieth and Chief Engineer Sirok heavily modified one of the ship's racing SAGs and Wes entered into a race on the surface against the two. Due to negotiations for the use of the race track, the event was widely televised across Ferenginar and resulted in heavy damage to both racing bikes. Also during shore leave, Wes, alongside Dar Elandra and Geoffrey Teller was tricked by a Ferengi named Kregg into a pyramid scheme selling guided tours in The Grand Nagus Zek Commemorative Bazaar & Trade Concern. The three were unable to complete their obligated sales requirements and Wes made a deal with Kregg to avoid debt. Kregg directed him to deliver a messsage to Lephi in person on behalf of the Fernginar government. This errand took him to Illara Prime in the Par'tha Expanse where he met Elizabeth Snow and Lephi on the planet. During their meeting the three were attacked and kidnapped for ransom by robed men. Fortunately the three officers managed to escape rather quickly to the USS Atlantis and Wes was able to return home to the Thor having completed his obligation.

Following shore leave, the USS Thor had planned a routine quantum slipstream drive test. Fleet Captain Aron Kells departed the ship to study a nearby Gorgamander pod during the test, leaving the XO, Geoffrey Teller in command. The initial test went smoothly, however immediately upon activating the drive on the return leg the USS Thor impacted a mine and was severely damaged. The mine, an unknown semi-biological mass, embedded itself in the ship and began tunneling toward the QSD. Casualties were upwards of the hundreds and the ship was crippled. Due to interactions with the mine and slipstream space, the Thor was unable to return to normal space without risking the ship being destroyed. Over the course of 12 hours the crew evacuated casualties and worked to detach the mine from the ship. With less than an hour to spare they were successful and were able to safely return to normal space in the Bajor sector.

The damage to the Thor was extensive and required an extended period of repair while docked at Deep Space 9. Most of the crew was temporarily granted quarters and workspace aboard the station. The crew spent well over a month repairing the ship and enjoying shore leave from DS9 and Wes Greaves was formally made the Marine Detachment Commander for the ship. Following the completion of repairs, the Thor was assigned a resupply mission for the colony of New Bajor in the gamma quadrant. All was not as it seemed however and the Thor uncovered corruption of the planet's government which was causing the destruction of the planet's agriculture. Wes Greaves played an important role in helping collect samples of a virus ravaging the planet's crops and eventually he effected the arrest of the planet's governor. With the virus safely erradicated and corruption rooted out of the government of New Bajor, the crew took shore leave on the planet. Wes Greaves was promoted to Marine Captain following the mission.

After enjoying shore leave in the gamma quadrant and on New Bajor, the Thor received an unusual distress signal near an unexplored nebula. The resulting response led the crew to discover the Zet, an advanced civilization lacking warp technology but possessing technology allowed for immortality. The civilization was an extreme representation of capitalism. During diplomatic encounters with the civilization, Wes Greaves served as an away team leader for the first time, and led initial diplomatic meetings with the planet's leaders. The meetings went poorly due to the arrogance of the Zet leadership, and Wes's team was eventually recalled. During follow on negotiations, Wes Greaves found himself the senior officer aboard the Thor, and in another first, he took command of the ship. Negotiations broke down on the surface and the Zet captured one away team and fired upon the Thor with surface missiles armed with Theta radiation. Wes Greaves and the rest of the bridge crew were able to keep the Thor safe and recover the away teams from the surface without injury. Following the mission, the Thor broke contact with the Zet and returned to the Alpha quadrant where they took shore leave on Vulcan.

During shore leave, Wes was appointed the Chief of Security and Chief of Tactical as well as the Marine Detachment Commander. Now leading three departments, Wes became overwhelmed with paddwork as he attempted to immerse himself in learning the new departments he was responsible for. In an attempt to take some time off, he traveled to Earth with Katsim Peri however a shuttle accident resulted in a crash en route where both were gravely injured. The Thor responded to their distress call and rescued the pair in time to treat their injuries. The experience brought the two closer together than ever before.

Following a painful and long recovery, Wes Greaves returned to a full duty status just prior to the Thor departing on a survey mission near the edges of Federation space. En Route the Thor intercepted a distress signal from the USS Excalibur, a ship thought lost 150 years prior. During the course of the response Wes led the away team to survey the wreckage of the long-lost ship which had crashed in isolated in the mountains on a pre-warp planet similar to Earth's middle ages. During the course of the mission, Wes and the rest of the crew were forced to assist in the defense of the descendent's of the Excalibur's crew using period weaponry and equipment. Successful, the Thor removed all traces of the Federation's presence and withdrew to nearby Cardassia for shore leave. Unfortunately after returning to Federation space, his close friends Alieth and Sirok accepted reassignments elsewhere in the fleet.

Following Shore leave, the Thor was directed to undertake war games against the USS Nashira. Intending to replicate war time conditions, both the Thor and the Nashira would have skeleton crews composed of the Thor's staff. The Nashira herself was commanded by Commodore Ossa V'Airu, and under this leadership Wes was assigned as the Nashira's first officer for the exercise. Despite not seeing eye to eye, Wes had a successful tour with the Nashira, and although the ship lost the simulated engagement in the end, he received high marks for his performance.

Due to a neutronic storm that moved into the area during the exercises, both the Thor and the Nashira put in for repairs at Starbase 375. Once complete, the Thor was retasked to transport the former crew of the USS Veritas to their new assignment at Amity Outpost in the Delta Quadrant. With the Thor's Quantum Slipstream Drive, the trip was exceptionally faster than under standard propulsion, but still took well over a month. During the transit the crews of the Thor and Amity mingled with a great deal of off-time on the ship. After finally arriving, Amity Station returned the favor and hosted the crew of the Thor where Wes was able to explore a cultural fair aboard the station.

The Thor was assigned to a new mission to assist with Amity's mapping of the region shortly thereafter. A nearby system contained a significant debris field consisting of tens of thousands of ancient warships. It was known to the locals as The Graveyard. The Thor was tasked with exploring the field before departing back to the Alpha quadrant. The Thor was quickly caught in a trap however from a massive space faring species, previously undiscovered. The creature, larger than a Vesta class starship, manipulated time to hunt, using time travel to isolate its prey. The result on the Thor's crew was to throw them back and forth through time, to include when the massive battle took place. It was discovered that the races that fought for the system long ago had put their differences aside and had trapped the giant creature in the system. The Thor was able to reverse engineer the trap and escape from the system unscathed.

Once returned to the Alpha quadrant, the Thor took on supplies and a new mission to relocated to the Gamma Quadrant and assist in establishing a Federation presence there. A small research station on Okaea had missed a check-in, so the Thor was to investigate. Upon arriving in orbit it was found that the planet's atmosphere contained a unique isotope that prevented transporters and sensors from penetrating. An away team, led by Commodore Aron Kells went to the surface to check in on the researchers. It was quickly discovered that pirates had attacked the station and were dredging the bottom of the ocean looking for something. The pirates ambushed the away team and the pirate ship ambushed the Thor before she could raise her shields, hitting an antimatter storage input port. The critical hit immediately disabled the Thor, forcing her to jettison all of her antimatter. The resulting explosion tore away a signficant section of her engineering hull and the Thor fell into the planet. Wes Greaves was in command during this and was forced to make the decision to abandon ship. He personally stayed behind to manage the atmospheric reentry and try to crash land the Thor into the ocean. Several of the other senior staff ethier chose to stay behind, or were trapped aboard for the crash landing. The Thor did manage to stay intact upon impact with the water and Wes then turned to recovery efforts and aimed to prevent the ship from sinking to the bottom.

After several hours the surviving crew members aboard had the Thor stabilized. The atmospheric isotope was also in the water, allowing the Thor to remain undetected and ambush the pirate ship with a single working torpedo. The hit was catastrophic and destroyed the pirate vessel, allowing the survivors of the Thor to begin full recovery efforts. Following up on the Thor's missed check-in, another vessel, the USS Oumuamua was dispatched to the region. The Luna class recovered the Thor and towed her back to spacedock at Earth. The damage to the Thor was so great that estimates placed it in dry dock for a year to undergo repairs and refit. The majority of the senior staff, including Wes, were transferred to the Oumuamua.

USS Oumuamua

Wes Greaves served as both the Executive Officer and Marine Detachment Commander aboard the USS Oumuamua, a posting that brought him into some of the most demanding missions of his career. Balancing the responsibilities of ship-wide operations with his role leading the Marine Detachment, Wes proved instrumental in the Oumuamua’s missions across the Gamma Quadrant.

One of the earliest missions under Wes’ leadership took the crew to Turisal III, a verdant world where the sentient, plant-based Turisali were under threat from off-world corporations eager to exploit valuable mineral deposits beneath their forests. Starfleet was tasked with mediating the escalating conflict, and Wes took a hands-on role in ensuring the safety of both Starfleet personnel and the Turisali people. Leading the Marine Detachment, Wes established a secure perimeter around the diplomatic and scientific operations, allowing Starfleet officers to conduct their work without interference. When a rogue faction of miners launched a surprise attack on the diplomatic envoy, Wes coordinated a rapid counter-assault, neutralizing the attackers with precision and ensuring minimal casualties. Beyond the tactical sphere, Wes immersed himself in understanding the Turisali’s unique culture and their symbiotic relationship with the environment. By leading patrols into the dense forests and working alongside scientists to map mineral deposits, he provided critical data for negotiations and demonstrated Starfleet’s respect for the Turisali way of life. The mission culminated in a diplomatic agreement that balanced the preservation of the planet’s ecosystem with controlled resource extraction, a resolution Wes was proud to have supported.

The search for the missing USS Caboto presented a unique set of challenges. The investigation revealed the involvement of the Zet, a species known for their erratic behavior and dangerous use of rudimentary warp technology. As the crew uncovered a faint warp trail, Wes led efforts to anticipate and counter the Zet’s unconventional tactics. His ability to adapt Starfleet protocols to an unpredictable adversary proved vital in keeping the Oumuamua safe. When the crew discovered a derelict Zet vessel, Wes personally led a team aboard to secure the site and collect intelligence. The mission unearthed troubling evidence of technological advancements far beyond the Zet’s known capabilities, raising questions about potential alliances or external influence. Wes presented these findings to the senior staff, shaping the Oumuamua’s strategic approach to the Zet. The mission culminated in a high-stakes confrontation with a Zet warship, during which Wes’ tactical expertise ensured the Oumuamua could defend itself, recover critical evidence about the Caboto, and escape with minimal casualties.

During the Intrepid Incident, the Oumuamua’s crew found themselves aboard a retrofitted Constitution-class starship, displaced in time and space by an enigmatic figure claiming to be from the Q Continuum. Faced with archaic systems and a looming crisis—a pulsar threatening the Gelf homeworld—Wes adapted quickly to the surreal circumstances. As Executive Officer, he played a key role in maintaining order and operational efficiency aboard the ship. Collaborating with engineers and tacticians, he helped devise a plan to use the Intrepid as a shield against the pulsar’s radiation. The situation became more complex with the revelation that the supposed Q was an interloper exploiting the crew for her own amusement. Despite these disruptions, Wes maintained focus, deploying personnel to critical systems and ensuring the success of the mission. His leadership during this incident underscored his ability to remain calm and decisive under extraordinary pressure.

Throughout his service aboard the Oumuamua, Wes balanced his dual responsibilities with skill and dedication. Whether navigating delicate diplomatic situations, managing tactical responses to emergent threats, or supporting Starfleet’s scientific endeavors, he consistently demonstrated his ability to integrate his Marine expertise with Starfleet’s broader mission. His leadership style, combining discipline with empathy, made him a trusted figure among the crew.

As the Oumuamua’s mission scope expanded, Starfleet transferred the crew to the USS Octavia E. Butler, a more modern and capable vessel better suited to the demands of the Gamma Quadrant. Wes transitioned to his new role aboard the Butler, carrying forward the experience and expertise he honed on the Oumuamua.

43rd Combat Engineer BattalionFollowing his distinguished service aboard the USS Oumuamua, Wes Greaves was reassigned to Earth, where he took command of the 43rd Combat Engineer Battalion. This specialized Starfleet Marine Corps unit was tasked with supporting infantry regiments and divisions in a wide range of operations, including stability missions, defensive construction, and anti-piracy efforts. Wes approached this new challenge with his characteristic determination and strategic mindset, quickly revitalizing the battalion and enhancing its operational readiness.

Wes began his tenure by conducting a comprehensive review of the battalion’s capabilities and identifying areas for improvement. Recognizing the need for flexibility in modern operations, he introduced new training regimens that emphasized versatility and ingenuity. These programs prepared the 43rd to handle a diverse array of missions, from constructing forward operating bases in hostile environments to providing emergency infrastructure in disaster-stricken areas. One of Wes’ most notable accomplishments during this period was leading the battalion in Operation Bastion Shield, where the 43rd was deployed to a Federation colony under threat from pirate activity. The operation required rapid construction of advanced planetary defenses, including modular fortifications and energy shield systems. Under Wes’ leadership, the unit completed these tasks ahead of schedule, earning commendations for their efficiency and precision.

In another high-stakes mission, the 43rd provided critical support for Starfleet’s anti-piracy campaign in the outer sectors of Federation space. Wes coordinated with intelligence and fleet command to preemptively deploy engineer teams to key shipping lanes and remote outposts. These teams reinforced station defenses, repaired infrastructure damaged in pirate raids, and constructed tactical barriers to enhance Starfleet’s defensive capabilities. Wes also prioritized the battalion’s humanitarian role, exemplified by their deployment to a Federation agricultural colony devastated by a sudden tectonic event. Leading a team of engineers himself, Wes oversaw the rapid construction of temporary shelters, water purification systems, and medical facilities. His hands-on leadership and the battalion’s swift response saved countless lives and underscored the Marine Corps’ commitment to Starfleet’s humanitarian ideals.

Beyond operational successes, Wes left a lasting impact on the battalion’s culture. Understanding the unique challenges faced by combat engineers—often operating under extreme conditions while managing intricate technical tasks—he introduced initiatives to support mental health and morale. Regular cross-training exercises with infantry units strengthened interdepartmental cooperation, while mentorship programs provided junior officers and enlisted personnel with valuable leadership opportunities. Wes’ six-month command of the 43rd Combat Engineer Battalion demonstrated his ability to balance tactical innovation with strategic foresight. The experiences and lessons he gained during this period informed his approach to leadership in the years to come and further cemented his reputation as a capable and visionary leader.

USS Octavia E. Butler

After his successful tenure with the 43rd Combat Engineer Battalion, Wes Greaves requested a transfer back to shipboard duty. Despite resistance from Marine Corps Headquarters, which viewed the move as detrimental to his career progression, Wes’ request was ultimately approved, and he was assigned as Marine Detachment Commander aboard the USS Octavia E. Butler. This Sagan-class vessel represented a step forward in Starfleet’s capabilities, designed to tackle the complex challenges of exploration and diplomacy in the Gamma Quadrant.

The Butler’s first mission took the crew to Cheyd’lang, the homeworld of the Cheydalanga, a warp-capable species with a history of Dominion alignment. The Cheydalanga had requested Starfleet assistance after overtures from the United Dominion of Planets (UDP), a rising power in the region. Wes played a pivotal role in ensuring the mission’s success, overseeing security during tense diplomatic negotiations and maintaining a visible presence to reassure the Cheydalanga delegation of Starfleet’s commitment to their safety.

When tensions escalated due to factional disputes on the planet and UDP interference, Wes coordinated with Starfleet Intelligence and diplomatic personnel to assess potential threats. His Marines provided logistical support and maintained order during key negotiations, ensuring that the Starfleet mission proceeded without disruption. Wes’ balanced approach to security and diplomacy highlighted his ability to integrate tactical operations with Starfleet’s broader goals of peace and stability. His efforts were instrumental in forging a fragile yet hopeful alliance with the Cheydalanga and demonstrated Starfleet’s dedication to fostering positive relationships in the Gamma Quadrant.

Starfleet Marine Corps Combat Engineering School

After only a few months aboard the Butler, Wes was reassigned to Earth to serve as an instructor at the Starfleet Marine Corps Combat Engineering School. While the role was framed by Headquarters Marine Corps as essential for mentoring the next generation of Marine leaders, Wes saw the assignment as an effort to sideline his career aspirations and limit his opportunities for active service. Despite this, he embraced the position, drawing on his extensive field experience to shape the training of young officers.

Wes split his time between lecturing in classrooms and leading field exercises, focusing on the practical challenges of combat engineering in isolated and high-stakes environments. His lessons emphasized adaptability, resourcefulness, and the importance of integrating engineering expertise with tactical operations. His students benefited from his firsthand accounts of missions, which provided valuable insights into the realities of combat and humanitarian work.

During this period, Wes was covertly assigned to a Starfleet Intelligence operation in the Gamma Quadrant. Partnering with Lieutenant Commander V’Len Kel, a former colleague with whom he shared a complicated history, Wes infiltrated a Zet-operated medical station, the Tranquil Nebula Clinic. The mission involved posing as delivery personnel to gather intelligence on the Zet’s activities, particularly their possible involvement in the disappearance of Starfleet personnel. Wes’ tactical preparation and ability to adapt to unpredictable scenarios ensured the success of the operation, uncovering critical data that advanced the investigation. Despite tensions with Kel, Wes demonstrated his ability to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics and lead under pressure.

Although his tenure at the Combat Engineering School was marked by professional achievements, Wes remained unfulfilled. Repeatedly denied requests to return to starship duty, he submitted a final appeal, fully aware that it could harm his career trajectory. Undeterred by warnings from senior officers, Wes maintained that his expertise in small-unit operations aboard starships was his true calling. His persistence paid off, and he was reassigned to the Butler, ready to resume his role in Starfleet’s frontier missions.
