Education and career

Blaxland is a graduate of the University of Tasmania (class of 2367) and the University of Alpha Centauri (class of 2370). When not on assignment, he occasionally teaches journalism classes at an extension campus on Starbase 118.

In 2376, he moved to Starbase 118 and worked as a freelance journalist. During this period, his articles were syndicated by a number of Alpha- and Beta Quadrant news sources, one of which was the New Sydney Inspector, which recruited him as a full time reporter in 2381.

Blaxland was promoted to assistant editor of the Inspector in 2388, and editor the following year. He resigned in late 2391 after ten years on staff, citing increased pressure by New Sydney's planetary government to limit critical reporting and reveal the identities of dissenters. He re-located back to Starbase 118 in 2392, and began contributing to the Federation News Service as a reporter.

Personal life

Blaxland was born on Earth in the city of Tbilisi. He is a fifth-generation journalist, and was named after his great-great-grandfather.
