'''The Bajoran Campaign'''


Fresh from the Academy, Alexander Richards was attached to the USS Independence A as the Chief Communications officer. During Shore leave he was asked to participate in a game of Volleyball with the senior staff which ended with himself breaking the nose of L. Eyas Wulfantine. Soon after this game, and an eating competition on board Space Station Deep Space 17, the USS Independence was called away on urgent matters regarding Bajor's acceptance into the Federation.
During this mission, Alexander proved to be rather arrogant during the briefing, he failed to help a fellow officer complete a task assigned to the both of them and hacked command codes to breach lock down protocol. Later, having been affected by the artifact being carried by the Scarlet Brotherhood, Alexander went AWOL for a period of 3 days during which he got very little sleep and only a small amount to drink.
Whilst AWOL, Alex unknowingly uploaded a back door protocol that the Brotherhood were able to use later to escape the USS Independence with the artifact. During his enforced confinement in sickbay, Alexander received a visit from an unknown entity (later speculated to be connected to the artifact) that left him with a horrific nightmare and possible Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (for which he is currently being evaluated for by Lt Jg. Velana.) Whilst on an away mission to reclaim the artifact, Alexander suffered injuries that rendered him unable to perform his duties. Most of the events of the Independence's disappearance and the crews subsequent return on a non native Steam Runner class ship (named the Tiger) are classified.
However, of note is the fact that whilst abandoning the Independence, Ensign Richards stopped to rescue a cat that in the confusion and rush to evacuate had been accidentally left on board. This cat, named Zlix had been the Pet of one Lt. Cmdr. Alleran Tan. On arrival at Deep Space 17, Alexander presented the cat to his son to look after.
