Chronological History
- 234012.27 Born in New Cardiff, Cymric district,
Galatia Prime
- 235901.03 Entered compulsory military service with the
Galatian Defense Forces.
- 236002.01 Selected for advanced combat training as
part of the elite Special Services Division. Public records indicate qualifications in Sub orbital Freefall/ Low Opening insertion techniques, demolitions, advanced unarmed and improvised weopon combat arts, and Expert qualification in ballistic, phased energy, fusion pulse and edged weopons. Remaining SSD training remains classified, however Starfleet personnel familiar with Llewelyn’s service during the Cardassian War indicate possible psychological operations training up to and including possible involvement with the GDF’s Project Stargate. Unconfirmed reports indicate the focus of this group is non-linear imaging of potential targets independent of locality and spacetime; sometimes referred to as “remote viewing”. Llewelyn’s alleged potential involvement in this group should not be viewed as evidence of any natural psychic abilities, as studies have shown that virtually all humanoids, if instructed in the rigorous protocols utilized, can achieve at least some success utilizing the techniques. If in fact he was an active member of Project Stargate, however, it can be presumed that he has an above average ability in the areas of mental discipline and information discrimination.
- 236201.15 Llewelyn deploys for the first of his 3
combat tours. As the Cardassian/ Federation war dragged on, fewer and fewer major battles were being fought as both sides concentrated on consolidating their major territories. Both sides instead concentrated on contesting systems caught between the two. This change in emphasis resulted in a prolonged “low intensity” conflict using guerrilla tactics and special warfare units vying for control of the border worlds. Llewelyn is wounded twice and promoted to the rank of platoon sergeant.
- 236301.15 Llewelyn deploys for his second combat tour.
He receives several commendations for assuming command of his company when the command staff were killed in an ambush.

this time period is classified and unavailable for review at this time.
- 236602.01- 236703.31 Llewelyn deploys for his final

That all changed following a mysterious visit in early 2385 after which he sadly, but resolutely bade goodbye to his family yet again, and returned to Starfleet Academy for a mandatory refresher course required for reinstatement to Starfleet.
Detailed Dossier
::Bio of LLewelyn:: Born on Galatia Prime, formerly a member world of the independent Outer Rim Confederacy. Originally the ORC consisted of the worlds containing the cultures of the Celtic diaspora, which left Earth 200 years earlier to preserve their cultural heritage apart from the homogeonized environs of the Federation,( Some of the earlier settlers colonized the now federation controlled colony of Caldos 4), the Naussicans, the Benzites, the Bynar, the Krytal, ancient offshoots of the Cardassian race, differentiated by the greenish tint of their skin and culturally by their proclivity for long hair amongst the male of the species, the Bajiri, ancient offshoots of the Bajoran people, virtually identical to modern Bajorans except for the not often seen mid brow ridges that are present in all Bajiri, and the Na'al, who virtually keep to themselves, and are never seen in public without head to toe swathed in loose fitting robes and veils.
Being raised in the Cymric sector,
called by the English tongue "welsh", though never to
the face of a Cymro if the person knew better,
Llewelyn was brought up in the Celtic Christian faith,
though his ardor for it has laxed at times. Like all
people raised on Galatia, he speaks the languages of
every Celtic region, Cymraeg, Cornish, Manx, Galizian,
Scots, Gaelic, and Breton. Virtually everyone on the
planet also speaks a local dialect known as Keltich,
which is a conglameration of all of the above, and is
the official language used by the Galatian Defense
Forces. The English language is not welcomed on the
Celtic homeworld, and tolerated only by those peoples
of Celtic descent that journey there to study their
heritage. Llewelyn had decent marks in school, and
played Rugby in the 7 nations series, being capped 5
times before his service during the Cardassian
Federation war. Because the ORC existed in close
proximity to the Federation colonies and engaged in
much cultural and economic exchange with them, and
concerns over Imperialistic Cardassian influence so
close to their borders, the ORC entered into an
alliance with the Federation to liberate the colonies.
This mutual cooperation continued to the close of the
Cardassian War.
Llewelyn enlisted in the Galatian
Defense Forces, by law, on his 18th birthday and
underwent cross training with the Klingon Defense
Forces. The Klingons and the Galatians had skirmished
many times, to no clear victory on either side. One
side effect, however, grew out of the experience. The
Klingons respected the Bardic Warrior Culture of the
Celts and their passion for recounting the heroic
deeds of their ancestors.(Llewelyn's own brother
Taliesan is a Bard of the 1st order, having completed
20 years memorizing the Mabinogian, and 3 years of
cultural apprenticeship under the tutelege of a
professional Master Bard) This mutual respect of
cultures led to personnel exchanges over the years for
the best of the Galatian military. Llewelyn was
amongst a handful of exchange personnel that so
distinguished himself in combat that he was offered
the privelege of undergoing the Klingon Rite of
Ascendancy. Upon completing the ceremony by the
grasping of a Klingon d'ktagh, blade first, he
recieved a Klingon name and nominal rank of Warrior.
Physical Characteristics
Llewelyn is currently 45 standard Federation years old, stands 6' 1/2" high, and weighs 100 kilos. His head is clean shaven, however he sports a reddish blonde goatee. His eyes are green. For those fortunate, or unfortunate enough, to see him in a semi disrobed state they will observe a Klingon Imperial triad and his Klingon name tatooed on his right bicep, a Celtic knotwork lion on his left bicep, and an ornate Celtic Cross tatooed across the whole of his back.
In keeping with established Cultural expression doctrine, Llewelyn wears the distinctive Celtic choker, a torc, consisting of 1/2 cm of braided gold 18cm long terminating in two golden 1cm orbs with a 2cm space in between. On formal occasions he has also been known to wear a Romanized Celtic sash made of nine yards of Galatian wool plaid gathered at his left shoulder, with a large knotwork fastener.
Training and Experience
Llewelyn has a previous combat experience as a member of the Outer Rim Confederacy joint contingent allied with Starfleet ground forces in the Cardassian War. The ORC was an independant entity sharing the space adjacent to the cardassian Union and the former federation colonies. They were strong supporters of the Maquis movement, disgusted with the Federation's abandonment of worlds that their people had fought so hard to free during the conflict. In protest of this blatant disregard for the Confederacy's disproportionate number of soldiers who gave their lives in defense of the colonies, the ORC suspended diplomatic ties with the Federation from the time that the Cardassian Federation treaty.
This
isolationist stance towards the UFOP lasted until the
commencement of the Dominion War, where mutual defense
concerns overshadowed old grievances. It was during
the cessation of hostilities leading up to the UFP/
Cardassian Treaty that Llewelyn elected to take part
in a program which allowed Cardassian War Veterans
from non Federation worlds the opportunity to apply
to Starfleet Academy. Llewelyn earned his commission
as an Ensign and then went on to earn a PhD. in
Comparitive Psychology from the Academy's prestigious
Graduate Studies program. Following an internship at
Starfleet Medical, he was licensed to act as Ships
Counselor.
Llewelyn's first spacebourne deployment was
to the USS ARIZONA, which opened up the opportunity
for his family, a wife and 2 sons, to join him on
assignment. His wife, also a Starfleet officer, was
appointed to serve as the head of the family support
program on board the Arizona. Morgana Llewelyn, Lt.,
was raised on Caldos 4 and is a second cousin to
Beverly Howard, later Beverly Crusher. With the
breakdown of diplomatic ties with the ORC, Llewelyn
elected to stay in Starfleet because of his wife and
children's status as Federation citizens.
Following
the destruction of the Arizona, Llewelyn was
temporarilly assigned to the USS Indria where he
received a catastrophic injury. He spent a full year
in medical recovery and relocated to Caldos 4 with his
family. At the commencement of the Dominion War he
petitioned for and was granted leave to rejoin the
Galatian Defense Force, where he served honorably,
though not without injury or turmoil. The destruction
of Caldos 4 colony, where his wife, still serving as a
Starfleet Reserve officer of the rank of Lt.
Commander, and his 2 sons were living, caused him much
anguish.
To his relief, his family survived and his
wife assumed an active duty role in the reconstruction
efforts at the colony. Toward the end of the Dominion
War, Llewelyn, now a Lt. Cmdr in an HCO capacity,
formerly retired from Starfleet when ordered by the
GDF to administer an orbital station known as the
Rhondda Orbital Platform, orbiting the predominately
Celtic "homeworld" of Galatia Prime. The destruction
of Caldos 4 colony weighed heavily on Morgana
Llewelyn, and her husband's long absences exacerbated
a growing rift between the two. They were legally
separated when catastrophe struck and the ROP was
overrun by renegade Jem H'dar and their privateer
allies in the Morago (see star trek: a final unity).
This instability, so close to the Galatian homeworld,
long the moral and political center of the ORC,
created a rift within the Confederacy long after the
invaders were repelled.
Galatia Prime and several of
its sister worlds eventually seceded from the
Confederacy and petitioned for membership within the
Federation for protection. Several ORC worlds elected
to maintain their independance, most notably, the
Naussicans. With the ROP's re designation as Starbase
619, Llewelyn found himself out of a job. For a
timeLlewelyn sought work in various endeavors within
the Merchant Marines, but his life seemed more and
more fruitless. Determining to put his life back in
order, Llewelyn returned to Caldos 4, working in the
relief effort and sought treatment for post traumatic
stress, depression and disillusionment.
Morgana
Llewelyn, having dealt with her own bouts of
depression and PTSD, now came to the support of her
estranged husband. Slowly, and not without fits and
starts, the two gradually became closer and ultimately
reconciled. The rebirth of their marriage culminated
in the birth of a third son to the couple. Together
they became prominent people within the community. In
addition to her Starfleet duties, Morgana found time
to pursue her love of teaching. Llewelyn served in
various administrative capacities and civic offices
and their family thrived. In early 2385 he received a
mysterious visit, the details of which, if ever
acknowledged at all by the Federation, would be above
top secret classified. It was therefore a shock to
all, including his family, when he announced that he'd
decided to rejoin Starfleet.
Privately, he made his
wife aware that while he could not disclose his real
mission, he stressed that he was being recruited to a
special project at the behest of the President of the
Federation. He stressed the need for secrecy within
his assignment, and asked that she trust that he would
not have accepted the assignment had it not been for
the gravest of reasons. He also stressed that she was
to never, under any circumstances, disclose the
circumstances surrounding his decision to come out of
retirement, especially to members of Starfleet.
Failure to follow this principle, he told her, would
place his life in grave danger, and end her career if
it were ever traced back to her. Two weeks later, he
bade his family goodbye, and caught a transport to
Sector 001, and Starfleet Academy.
