{{Deep Space 26}}

Jacob Russell Krieger, or "the Admiral" as he is more commonly known, was born in 2319 as the only son of a Starfleet science officer and a Starfleet engineer. Entering Starfleet Academy was the only goal the Admiral ever had as a child. He graduated the Academy at the top of his class, and he proceeded directly to the Advanced Tactical School, where he continued to dazzle his professors with his ability. By the time he was 34 he had command of his own starship. While commanding the Excelsior-class USS Princeton patrolling the Breen-Federation border, Krieger managed to foil a Breen raiding force of 3 ships single-handedly. By the age of 40, he was promoted to Admiral and assigned to Starbase 23 on the Romulan Neutral Zone. He disliked being a "Desk-jockey" so much he used his power and influence as an Admiral to reassign himself to starship command again, getting the [[USS Vandenburg]], a Nebula-class vessel. While he was only at Starbase 23 for just under a year, he had more than a few run-ins with his Romulan counterpart across the Neutral Zone, a Commander Tomaron.

After getting the Vandenburg, the Admiral's next 15 years were spent almost entirely in the Bajor sector. He was instrumental in the treaty negotiations with the Cardassians and has spent much time on and around Bajor. He plans to retire there. It is believed that Admiral Krieger is the first Admiral to have regular command of a starship since Admiral Kirk commanded the USS Enterprise, before Kirk's demotion.

After more than twenty years, the USS Vandenburg was decommissioned, and Krieger was forced, once again, to a desk job. He accepted a position at Starbase 118 under the command of Fleet Admiral Tristan Wolf, to while away the time until he can retire to Bajor. After the discovery of the [[Par'tha Expanse]], Wolf reassigned him to [[Deep Space 26]], a Starfleet refit of an ancient and abandoned space station in that region.
