Personal History

Early Life

On stardate 236712.12 Vanessa Driscoll was born as second child to Mary and James Driscoll in New Cork, on the Federation colony of Toral IV. She had a carefree childhood growing up at the farm of her father. She had a very close relation to her older brother, who always supported her and always stood on her side. At the age of 12, she was already trained in using a phaser, as her father needed every hand to protect the farm against some of the wild animals on the colony world. When she was 17, she made up her mind on her future and told her parents that she wanted to join Starfleet. Her father was strictly against the idea, because he thought of the future of the farm and his family on the rather new colony. But her father’s refusal did not discourage her – quite the contrary was true. In the end and with the support of her brother and mother, her father allowed her to apply – although he still hoped she would not be admitted. When she was admitted, he had to accept it eventually.

Starfleet Academy

So at the age of 18, Vanessa enrolled at Starfleet Academy in San Francisco and moved to her parents’ original home world, the Earth. She did not have much trouble finding new friends there and enjoyed the time they spent socialising. Her academic performance was average, which was mainly due to the fact that she often spent her free time with her friends instead of learning for her courses. Nevertheless, she was able to pass the courses, even the ones, she was not that much interested in. She liked the tactics courses, which resulted in good results in that field, as well as physical education. In the last two Academy years, after completion of the Academy's General Studies program, she finally spent more time on learning as she concentrated on her minors and majors which she laid in the fields of security and tactics. It was at that time that strong, black coffee became her favourite drink. In the end she didn’t rank among the best, but she had improved and achieved good results.

Starfleet

After her cadet cruise, Vanessa Driscoll was assigned to the USS Discovery-C as Security officer.
