Character History

Rick Rawden is devoted to his role in Star Fleet and was overjoyed to be posted to the illustrious USS Independence-A. He works very hard in engineering and is often seen toiling at his post after his shift has officially ended. He is however, a little gullible, impetuous and accident-prone. A fact brought home by his nearly getting killed during an explosion in USS Independence-A engineering department. Only the timely intervention of Captain Sidney Riley saved Rawden from certain doom.

Rawden was good friends with Ensign Handley Page; finding him a much more approachable figure than Chief Engineer Darius Clack. Page was often found showing Rawden ingenious ways to reverse-engineer a whole plethora of gadgets and machines. In 2388, they were both assigned to the mission to Bilire VI when the Independence-A was sent to assist the Romulan refugees there build a new colony. Whilst on the planet, Rick contracted the Wrath Plague and nearly died, but was returned to the Independence-A sick bay just in time. Upon his return Rick learned that Page had been arrested and imprisoned for killing Romulan rioters on Bilire VI and then transporting aboard his own star yacht, that was covertly orbiting the planet. Page insisted it was all in self-defence, but was transferred to Star Fleet JAG on DeepSpace17 for his second court martial in his career, leaving Rick without his best friend for company. Rick felt Page had been treated unfairly, and his trust and loyalty in Star Fleet was tested almost to breaking point, but the young man kept his devotion to duty foremost.
