* Barbara Jennet foresaw her goal as a businesswoman as early as her teen years, and because of her training and history with Trade, eventually focused on the idea of establishing some kind of business that involved the industry. It wasn’t until after she met and married Barnes Cody that she saw what that end result would be, and it’s to the credit of Barbara and Barnes’ joint work together that brought about the objective to create a business that addressed the security, litigation, retrieval and investigative functions of trade on the civilian level, as historically, economics among planets in imports/exports carried a sundry of problems with room for price and ownership manipulation. | * [[Barbara Jennet]] foresaw her goal as a businesswoman as early as her teen years, and because of her training and history with Trade, eventually focused on the idea of establishing some kind of business that involved the industry.

* Barbara saw her niche by creating a security corporation for Trade, which would focus on litigation of stolen property as well as investigation and retrieval. She would later see the necessity of offering legal services to establish a fair civilian trade practice among the Federation races and culture to prevent monopoly and when the Ferengi got involved starting in 2365, stop unethical practice. | * Barbara saw her niche by creating a security corporation for Trade, which would focus on litigation of stolen property as well as investigation and retrieval.

* Barnes saw the necessity of not relying on the charity of Starfleet to accomplish these aims, and through his own background in engineering and ship construction, saw the aims of achieving his wife’s dream was through the establishment of a fleet line for the company. He was already a recognized and accomplished ship designer and builder with a background in physics. The only way Barbara’s company was going to succeed was by the means of transport: the JTSC-X01, and later, the larger JTSCX-02 build models. | * Barnes saw the necessity of not relying on the charity of Starfleet to accomplish these aims, and through his own background in engineering and ship construction, saw the aims of achieving his wife’s dream was through the establishment of a fleet line for the company.

* To accomplish the aims of what the JTSC would do required a larger property than Cody’s estate homes back on Skye, Earth, and there was no place within the European Union for such a facility. Both Barbara and Barnes had been attracted to Mars as it was one of the largest planets for engineering operations, and on an early trip, they had found a former technology complex that Starfleet had deemed ‘outdated’ as they were doing just about all large scale projects in the Beta Andreas orbital facilities and leaving the smaller projects for their base facilities in Colony 1. | * To accomplish the aims of what the JTSC would do required a larger property than Cody’s estate homes back on Skye, Earth, and there was no place within the European Union for such a facility.

* Barnes facilitated the contact, having worked as a consultant for Starfleet when he and Barbara met, and was able to secure an arrangement with both Starfleet and the Colony city to acquire the property in exchange to help manage in colony city engineering and upkeep. The arrangement was agreeable for all parties and Barbara and Barnes secured the property in 2350. It would take a full year with a contingent of both civilian and Starfleet engineers to redesign the complex that would eventually house both the corporate office as well as the ship line. | * Barnes facilitated the contact, having worked as a consultant for Starfleet when he and Barbara met, and was able to secure an arrangement with both [[Starfleet]] and the Colony city to acquire the property in exchange to help manage in colony city engineering and upkeep.

It’s safe to say there would be no JTSC without [[Barnes Cody]]’s work, which was what made Barbara and Barnes such an incredible team, not just as a family, but as a business team. | ||
* His post-graduate work with the design and construction of the small elite S01-X shuttle class in 2344 was the forerunner, already in service and distinguishable by the re-introduction of aerodynamics in hull construction. The JTSC-X01 was already in construction, borrowing from early history’s Stealth hull design applied to a larger craft capable of supporting both personnel and cargo, but not on the scale of Starfleet’s military craft. It is a small slightly larger shuttle-sized craft, supporting up to a crew of 10 with a balance to the warp propulsion to cargo availability. Five ships were designed under the first model, up through 2356, when Barnes and his engineering staff released a more compact version, the JTSC-X02, which could be mistaken for a large-sized Stealth fighter. This is the common type most seen, as there were approximately 10 of them in service, all designed for 1 – 5 crew (and serviceable for the investigator). | * His post-graduate work with the design and construction of the small elite S01-X shuttle class in 2344 was the forerunner, already in service and distinguishable by the re-introduction of aerodynamics in hull construction.

* It wouldn’t be until Quinn’s arrival in 2378 that the JTSC would under another radical shift in ship construction by his introduction of bio-gel engineering principles from Starfleet. Quinn led the department in the decommissioning of the JTSC-X01 and fifteen of the JTSC-XO2 for major retrofit and upgrades. But the number stays the same. Quinn relaunched the JTSC line in 2382 with the XQ-03 model that currently serves the corporation and the securities investigators, currently 20 total (one per investigator/security transport team, and three backups). | * It wouldn’t be until Quinn’s arrival in 2378 that the JTSC would under another radical shift in ship construction by his introduction of bio-gel engineering principles from [[Starfleet]].

Originally it was perceived as a result of the final resolution by the Federation Council overruling SFI’s plantiff proposal to shut the civilian company down. It was the first time that the director of SFI had complied fully with the probe by opening up the Intel Branch files to prove Intelligence had nothing to do whatsoever with the deaths. Turow, already redirecting as many investigators as she could to track down the culprits, was invited to interview every single Intelligence member, just to verify, and when it was proven without a doubt SFI had nothing to do with the murders, turned her attention to the compay’s clients and contracts, which proved to be a massive undertaking and the results were not concluded until 2378, without a single suspect or lead. | ||
* It was because of this event that reshaped the company to its present day status, although with a lingering shadow of not knowing the reasons or the suspect(s) behind the deaths of Barbara Jennet and Barnes Cody, when the final conclusion by the Starfleet Medical Examiner could not rule homicide or suicide, or death by natural causes. | * It was because of this event that reshaped the company to its present day status, although with a lingering shadow of not knowing the reasons or the suspect(s) behind the deaths of [[Barbara Jennet]] and [[Barnes Cody]], when the final conclusion by the Starfleet Medical Examiner could not rule homicide or suicide, or death by natural causes. | ||
* David Cody, their surviving son who had been listed as missing when neither Starfleet or the JTSC could find him, was initially classified as a possible suspect in his parents’ deaths until his re-appearance in 2380. He was eventually cleared by the Ferengi Government as it became known he was bonded, and several witnesses were able to verify his movements both before, during and after the deaths. | * [[Cody, David Scott | David Scott Cody]], their surviving son who had been listed as missing when neither Starfleet or the JTSC could find him, was initially classified as a possible suspect in his parents’ deaths until his re-appearance in 2380.

* As dictated by the will of Barbara Jennet, David Cody owns the corporation, which was passed to him on stardate 2380.0916 after being cleared of any suspicious involvement. However, Cody does not take part in the implementation or execution of the activities and has removed himself to occasional call-in status. He applied to and was accepted shortly into Starfleet in October of 2380 and went to the San Francisco Academy for an accelerated 3 year program in security, tactical and intelligence training. | * As dictated by the will of [[Barbara Jennet]], [[Cody, David Scott | David Scott Cody]] owns the corporation, which was passed to him on stardate 2380.0916 after being cleared of any suspicious involvement.

* Barnes | * [[Barnes Cody]]’s contributions to the JTSC ship designs eventually brought another civilian engineer, Anthony Quinn, to oversee ship construction, modification and repair, following in [[Barnes Cody]]’s footsteps. Quinn, a graduate of Starfleet’s Engineering program, at the end chose not to remain with Starfleet’s blessing, and it was on Starfleet’s suggestion that Quinn approached JTSC. | ||
