History

Vance’s father, Victor Carter served in the M.A.C.O. as a civilian consultant and advisor. Before being acquired by M.A.C.O., Victor was a professor at the Starfleet Academy. His wife was a doctor in the same part of the city, commonly treating injuries Cadets sustained during their more rigorous training sessions. When Victor was hired by M.A.C.O. to train their recruits in military tactical theory, he obliged, persuaded by the considerably larger paycheck.

Victor brought his wife and son, Vance, aboard a M.A.C.O. training and service vessel, knowing just how much his son wanted to see a starship. The M.A.C.O. was never in any real peril, save for the occasional disturbance in the expanse of space. Other than that, it was combat drills. The young Vance attended all of his father’s lectures, usually sitting in the corner of the class so as to remain unobtrusive to the lectures. On several occasions, Vance would also watch M.A.C.O. trainees and veterans alike go through training courses and weapon drills. Influenced with such subject matter at his impressionable age, Vance [not unlike most boys around his age] took a great interest in weapons, ships. However, unlike many other kids, Vance also took great interest in the tactics and practices surrounding such technology. While aboard the M.A.C.O. vessel, Vance's mother gave birth to his sister, Samantha. Obviously, as a boy who had grown up around military-minded individuals, Vance felt obligated to protect his sister, even though there was no-one hostile aboard the vessel. His brother Corey followed a few years afterwards, the burden of three children pushing Victor closer towards retirement.

Vance’s father retired and returned to Earth and his home state of Oregon. Home no longer felt like Oregon, it lacked the humming of a Warp core or the smell of ozone. Vance applied for entrance in to the Starfleet Academy, but was initially turned away, as he lacked certain fundamental skills. Vance immediately enrolled in classes, and after a year of grueling hours of classed seven days a week, Vance had the credits and skills to make it in to the Academy. In the Academy, Carter specialized in Tactics, sticking with what he knew and majoring in such a field allowed him to be a multi-faceted asset to Starfleet. He graduated from the Academy with an above-average GPA and a couple recommendations from his teachers, but he was by no means the star pupil. What kept his GPA down was his scientific and political fields.

With his recommendations, Carter boarded the first ship to StarBase 118, hearing great things about the Station, its ships, its personnel, and its programs. Vance was assigned to Fleet Captain Tony Turner for his "Cadet Cruise", where he showed great proficiency with weapons and tactics in the 'Meze' simulation, placing the safety of the crew as the number one priority. With his performance carefully calculated and judged, Carter was promoted to Ensign and given a position in Security. After one long night of celebratory drinking with fellow graduates, Carter received his deployment order to the USS Apollo as the new Assistant Chief of Security.
