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. | A decorated veteran of the [[Dominion War]], Joseph Washington comes from a long line of Starfleet officers going back to the original Earth Starfleet.

Washington was assigned as chief tactical officer of the {{USS|Pioneer}} in 2382 and was then promoted to first officer in 2385, under Captain Jodhani. After Jodhani was promoted to commodore in 2388, Washington assumed command of the ''Pioneer''. He was reassigned to take command of the {{USS|Invicta}} in 2393. After the [[Invicta Expedition]] concluded in 2395, Washington was reluctant to take on another tour of duty aboard a starship and away from his family, and the seasoned officer considered finally retiring from Starfleet. However, following Admiral sh'Hiel's unceremonious sacking after the {{USS|Astraeus}} incident in the [[Shoals]], Washington agreed to assume sh'Hiel's previous post of Commander of Starfleet Operations for the Tholian region and was promoted to rear admiral. | Washington was assigned as chief tactical officer of the {{USS|Pioneer}} in 2382 and was then promoted to first officer in 2385, under Captain Jodhani.

He was promoted to vice admiral in 2398 and then directly to fleet admiral in 2400 as tensions along the Tholian border continued to worsen. | ||
