A decorated veteran of the [[Dominion War]], Joseph Washington comes from a long line of Starfleet officers going back to the original Earth Starfleet. Though his ancestors thought of themselves as explorers, Washington's experiences during the Dominion War fundamentally changed the way he viewed the purpose of [[Starfleet]] and the larger Federation, especially following an ambush on his ship the {{USS|Yuan Tseh Lee}}, in which most of the command crew were killed. Washington became a strict military officer, determined to hone discipline among those under his command because he had seen far too many friends and colleagues die on the front lines and the harsh frontier. | A decorated veteran of the [[Dominion War]], Joseph Washington comes from a long line of Starfleet officers going back to the original Earth Starfleet. Though his ancestors thought of themselves as explorers, Washington's experiences during the Dominion War fundamentally changed the way he viewed the purpose of [[Starfleet]] and the larger Federation, especially following an ambush on his ship the {{USS|Yuan Tseh Lee}}, in which most of the command crew were killed. As the ship's operations officer at the time, then-Lieutenant Washington took command of the vessel from Main Engineering and managed to save the rest of the crew. Afterward, Washington became a strict military officer, determined to hone discipline among those under his command because he had seen far too many friends and colleagues die on the front lines and the harsh frontier. | ||
