Commodore Kinney is a careful, calculated man who believes in the power of the Federation through careful protection. He has a paranoia of threats to the Federation, including the Romulans and Klingons - but especially the Dominion. | Commodore Kinney is a careful, calculated man who believes in the power of the Federation through careful protection. He has a paranoia of threats to the Federation, including the Romulans and Klingons - but especially the Dominion. He served with distinction in the Dominion wars, and has advised caution towards aid efforts offered to the Romulans after the Hobus star incident. | ||
Kinney was born on Luna, to a family of freighter operators. He had unusually high scores in tactics and strategy in secondary school and was marked by his teachers as a good candidate for Starfleet Academy, which he pursued. Early on, counselors noted that Kinney was a good student, who is focused on his studies, but he frequently had disagreements with other cadets who were Starfleet “brats” or who had a family background of Starfleet service. One interview, Kinney stated that he felt it was unfair that a family dynasty could propel some cadets forward past other cadets who had to rely on their own effort and hard work. | |||

He started as a operations officer on the Excelsior class USS Crazy horse, and steadily worked his way up the ranks. Upon promotion to Lieutenant JG he was transferred to the USS Donovan as a tactical officer. Most of his record is fairly uneventful but he was disciplined for getting into a drunken fistfight with his department head once. The CO reporting stated he was very surprised to think that such a mild and dedicated officer could do such a thing. Observers stated that the fight started over an argument on whether the department head had earned his place or given it through favoritism since is mother was a Starfleet Captain. Kinney transferred off the ship less than 3 months later. | ||
''Oddly enough the department head also retired shortly before, stating medical reasons- the records are unclear'' | |||
Kinney rose slowly through the ranks, being passed over for ship command but finally getting a StarBase command in a backwater section where he proved his skills at strategy and tactics over and over again. He was moved to gradually more prestigious postings before coming to the Trinity Sector as a Commodore. He has never commanded a ship. He is known as a staunch conservative who has a history of making decisions for the safety of the Federation. | |||
