* '''Race''':[[Risan]]

When Baylen was Seventeen years old his mother and father picked up and moved to Earth, they opened a Risan Spa in the Trade District of New Orleans LA.  He grew up in the New Orleans culture, the Anders had a beautiful plantation in the Garden District.  Learning a lot of the Earth ways and falling deeply in love with New Orleans.  Baylen attended the Tulane University school of Therapy.  He worked long hours in the [[Paradise Point Resort]].

After graduation from Tulane, Baylen took on a full time roll in the Spa.  He saw the Spa grow from a small three room spa to one with over 100 massage sweets and a pool and hot tub.  A gym was added and a few bars and other such services where add.  People from all over earth came to taste a little of Risa right in there back yards.  Once the Spa was a major success, three hotels and condos where built along with Gardens and open air shopping courts.   

The Spa is now the largest resort on Earth and one of the largest in the sectors.  There is even a second Sisko's locations in one of the Casinos along with a replica of Quarks from DS9.  Right in the center of the compound is the largest Holodeck on Earth, being over six story's tall.  Baylen loved the Spa and loved being a part of its growth.

Working with a great many Star Fleet Officers.  He feel in love with a Cadet in the Academy.  Ben Johnson,  Ben and Baylen spent a lot of romantic nights together walking the streets of New Orleans and going to bars, or to dinner or a play.   The time he spent with Ben was like magic.  There love lasted three beautiful years.  Baylen was deeply in love and was about to ask Ben to marry him but Ben transferred to the Livingston for the last part of training and did not get the earth assinment. So ended there long romantic and passionate love affairs.  

After a great heart break, Baylen closed off and lost interest in his work at the Spa.  He wanted to get away and he opened his own shop on Earths Spacedock and had a few flings here and there.  But nothing like that of Ben.  After his year on the spacedock Baylen made the decision to join Star Fleet.

Baylen hates going to sickbay, there is always test that need to be run, he has a fear of the white coat.  But he loves Doctors, he enjoys meeting most healers.  Baylen loves shooting pool, playing darts and poker.  He enjoys most water sports to include scuba.  But most days Baylen can be found laying around reading a book.  He collects real books, loving the feel and smell of the pages.  He has some replicated book but there just not the same.  He has a passion for poems and short stories.   

[[Image:B6cca6VCUAEV1Xk.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Baylen in the Bath]]  When Baylen is stressed out he enjoys a hot long bath to relax.  He fills the tub with Risa Bath Salts and lavender.  Puts on some New Orleans Jazz and and then sinks into the tub and closes his eyes and naps to let all the stress float away.

Baylen is not a big fan of dancing but has been known to cut a really good rug from time to time.  He has won a few dancing compensations in New Orleans that his friends have talked him into entering.  He also hates breakfast food, he loves the smell and the looks just not the taste.  But loves a good Steak and Pasta with a glass of dark rich red wine.

Baylen has the goal of trying a dish or two from each and every member world of the Federation and a few of the allies.  Baylen loves food, he loves it so much that he has to work out a few hours each morning.  Baylen has a holodeck program of a small crew-boat that he likes to row a few times a week through the swamps of Orleans Parish.  He also runs daily and lifts weights.

Baylen also loved his little Fawn Pug, Baxter.  He was the runt of Molly and Max, two of his parents Pug's.  Baxter has really taken to his time in space and loves to great new friends in high hops that they may have some spare food that they want to give him.  That is Baxter's primary focus, FOOD, he is always on the hunt for more food.  His second focus is love, today he has never meet a stranger.  Baylen loves walking Baxter and sitting down and playing with him.  If Baylen has a bad he will soak in the tub then so and cuddle with Baxter on the sofa of the bed.

 

Baylen enlisted into Starfleet and went to the Yeoman's Academy in Atlanta GA.  After Basic Training at the Defenses Force School, he went into what is called A shcool, at the Yeoman Academy Training Center for a ten week course.  After his graduation he moved back to New Orleans and worked in the Command Center for Planetary Defenses.   

Being at the CCPD he was able to track a lot of info, he still loved and longed for Ben so he would check from time to time to see where the Livingston was.  He noticed that after a year or so he stopped checking and started moving on.

While in his role as a Marine Core Lt. General General aide, he attended Louisiana State University (LSU) Geaux Tigers...  He graduated with honors in Public Administration. This degree entitled him to a shortened stint at the Academy.  He requested to attend the Academy and was granted admission after Lt. General Paul Housman wrote and letter of recommendation.

Baylen got to work with a lot of Ambassadors at the Command Center for Planetary Defenses.  At anytime of the day there is from anywhere between ten to twenty Ambassadors there and there are also four permanent Federation Counsel Members that manage the day to day operations of the Command Center.  After to Dominion War, the Federation took Command and Control of Planetary Defenses out of Star Fleets control.  It now ran by a political body.  Baylen was assigned to a Counsel Member General, He work with her for almost a year until she returned home to Bajor, then he started working with her replacement to bring him up to speed.  Baylen really enjoyed his time at the Command Center for Planetary Defenses in the French Quarter of New Orleans, It kept him close to home and he got work with a lot of the who's who of the Federation and learned a lot about different Command Styles.   

 

While Stationed at the C.C.P.D. Baylen learned more about diplomatic diplomacy then he could have ever leaned with ten years at the Academy just studying Diplomacy.

So when he decided to join the Academy Baylen was a bit sad to be leaving such a great place behind but he did have high hopes that he would make it back to C.C.P.D. someday.  Maybe even as its Star Fleet Commanding Officer and Chief of Staff.  The thing he will remember most is Giant Block of Cheese day hosted by Councilmen Ford, once a year.  Bringing in anyone and everyone once a year and letting them have the ear of the Command Staff.   

While at the Academy Baylen only needed his 3rd and 4th year study's because of his Education and his Enlistment before the Academy. But he opted to do the full four years in order to learn everything that he wanted to. It was a fun time for him, he was among some of the greatest cadets at the Academy. He was asked to join the Red Squad.  But after a month in the Squad he quit it knowing it was not for him, but he maintained a close contract with some of its members one of them being James Thorn who is now a Lt. Commander in Command of the USS Tribal.  Baylen spent a lot of time studying command systems and the art of command.  He read mission logs from all the great Star Fleet Captains.  He became thrilled with the Captain Archer files on the NX-01 missions. Baylen turned the logs into printed leather bound books, a seven volume set.  One for each year he was in command of the NX-01.  Baylen has kept the books and still refers to them to this day.

 

He focused on his study's and did not focus on his love life, but at times this was very hard. In Baylen's third year he ran into Ben, he was back home and visiting the Academy and dropped in to say hello.  The two went out for drinks and night on the town.  The next day Baylen felt that same pain as he watched Ben leave yet again.  One month later he heard that the Livingston was lost with all hands.  His great love was gone forever. After four years Baylen was Commissioned as an Ensign under the Hand of Vice Admiral Sonssa.

As a new Ensign Baylen was ordered to [[Outpost Ganzera]] and became the Strategic Operations Yeoman.  He was attached to Commander James Lonny.  He learned a great deal from the commander about fleet Operations and Mission Readiness. Baylen took it up extra flight officer classes from one the pilots while he was off duty.  He also spent a lot of time in the Holodeck running Tactical Readiness Drills.  He hated not being the best at something and could not stand to disappoint a Commanding Officer. After a year at the station he was noticed by the Commanding Officer Rear Admiral Lower Half Hathoway, Baylen was promoted to Lt. JG and made the Junior Deputy Aide to the Admiral.

He was a shinning star on the Admirals Staff and was quickly made the Admirals personal aide.  While on the station he meet Lt. Commander Ian Lane West, while he was there TDY working on the Biological Weapons Program.

They became friends quickly and when Ian was transferred to the [[USS Gemini]] from the [[USS Tiger-A]], he pulled a few strings and Baylen was promoted to Lieutenant and was back to working in Strategic Operations on [[Outpost Ganzera]].  After a year they both transferred to the [[USS Atlantis]], Baylen became the Chief Yeoman and the personal aide to Captain Raj Blueheart.  He stayed his aide for a little over a year and then was Transferred to Star Base 118 Operations to become the Chief Yeoman of the Operations Base.  This however was short lived, Baylen was asked to fill the role of Mission Specialist by [[Sal Taybrim]].  This role is Baylen's first role as a real Command Officer.  Baylens first Mission in this new role was not an easy one.  They where to hunt down a Star Fleet Captian, Captain Haz Arrhimen of the USS Stormcrow, that wanted to start a war with the Romulans.   So Baylen's first role as the Star Base Mission Specialist was not on the Base at all, but rather on the USS Albion, an Excelsior Class Starship used for support mission.  The Albion was under the Command of Acting Captain [[Sal Taybrim]].

[[Image:Ian West Office.jpg|thumb|280px|left|Lt. Cmdr Baylen M. Anders Office on Star Base 118 Operations]] Baylen's Office is located on Deck 7 to the starboard side of the deck in the Command Tower  It is housed on the same deck as the Commanding Offers Ready Room and the First Officers Office.  There is a second office location for the Mission Specialist in the Fleet Operations Tower, but Baylen never uses it.  Baylen has two desk top computer systems, the one on the credenza is mostly for results of test and scans that can tie up his main computer for hours at a time. The One on the main desk is used for everyday duties, reports and research, and other such stuff. The window in front of the desk has a large Master Display Systems that is a holographic projection that can be turned on or off at will. The MDS is tracking in real time the space around the station and other zones that can be changed with the mission specialist input.  Baylen does not use the MDS often, mostly just in the early mornings to help him with his reports to the First Officer.

There is one built in book case in the office with sliding glass doors that holds 39 old Poetry and Classic Earth books from the 1800's in it that Baylen collected from shops in the New Orleans behind the sliding glass doors. Balyen also has photos of his family around the office. Along with some Old Risa Sailing Tools and Charts that belonged to his Great Great Great Granddad. In the Windows are some Old History Books and a Mask that He wore to a Party in New Orleans on his first New Years Celebration.
