Background
Born and raised in Georgia, Earth. Cory lived a simple life, but wanted something better. Knowing his grades in secondary school were average at best, he enlisted in Starfleet.
Graduated from the Starfleet Recruit Training Command Great Lakes and promoted to Crewman Third Class and sent to Aviation Boatswain's Mate "A" school. After graduating and his promotion to Crewman Second Class, he was assigned to the USS Shiloh NCC-95201, under the command of Captain Mikal Wynne. Crewman Second Class Cory Stoyer was assigned to the Main Shuttlebay. His duties included cleaning, preservation and general up keep of the equipment in the shuttle bay.
On 238703.20 there was a shuttle crash and fire in the hanger bay where then Petty Officer Second Class Stoyer was assigned. The fire killed some of the senior petty officers and the Hanger Chief. After the fire was out the Captain promoted him to Petty Officer First Class for leadership during the fire. It was suggested that he apply to the Academy and to his surprise was accepted. He started there on 238709.07.
At the academy, Cory was an indifferent student. His best subjects were history (his minor) and things that related to his time as a Starfleet Petty Officer. The higher education stuff bored him and his grades suffered. But he was a solid “B” student. His fellow classmates helped him with the more involved subjects. In turn he taught them the difference between the academy and real life on a starship. At 24, when he started the academy, he acted as an older brother to the students. After his cadet cruise, Cory was assigned to the U.S.S. Constitution-B.
Cory's time so far onboard the Constitution has been very interesting. Seeming to jump from one crisis to the next without a pause. Being a bridge officer is the highlight of his career so far.
On 239202.16 Cory was transferred to the U.S.S. Excalibur-A as the HCO Officer. The Excalibur was a different ship than the Constitution, but Cory worked to ensure that he Excalibur was prepared for everything. On 239205.03 Cory was transferred to the U.S.S. Victory as the Helm Officer. Fleet Captain Nicholotti promoted him to Lieutenant as the Excalibur-A was decommissioned.
After settling into his duties onboard the Victory, Cory and Captain Nurga spoke about his career and options. Cory accepted the Chief Engineer's position on the Victory.
On 239207.15 The U.S.S. Victory was decommissioned. Cory was transferred to the U.S.S. Gorkon as the Acting Chief Engineer. On 239207.17 Captain Reynolds made the position permanent.
Cory's time onboard the Gorkon was one of hard work and learning how to be a Chief Engineer. During the Year of Hell, when the Gorkon was trapped in another universe, Cory learned about leading and what his job really entailed. He left is wife Petra back in the prime universe. When the ship was rescued and Cory was reunited with his wife, their reunion was short lived. Petra was arrested for assisting in the theft of the Yarahla. Cory was sent to Starfleet Medical on Earth while the ship underwent repairs at McKinley station.
Personality
Cory is quiet observant person. Always carrying around his PADD with his books downloaded on it, just in case he gets a chance to read for a little bit. He is eager to learn and understand his role as an officer of Starfleet. His passion is history. He enjoys reading on naval warfare and organization of militaries. Always on the lookout for a good time. Willing to help out anyone. Generally a nice guy.
Quarters
Deck 5, Starboard side mid-section, the Chief Engineer's Quarters. Cory and his wife Petra moved in right after their wedding.
