'''Lieutenant Colonel Wes Greaves''' is a [[human]] male currently serving as the '''Marine Detachment Commander''' aboard the {{USS|Octavia E Butler}}.  

The damage to the Thor was extensive and required an extended period of repair while docked at Deep Space 9.  Most of the crew was temporarily granted quarters and workspace aboard the station.  The crew spent well over a month repairing the ship and enjoying shore leave from DS9 and Wes Greaves was formally made the Marine Detachment Commander for the ship. Following the completion of repairs, the Thor was assigned a [[Stick of Butter, Dozen Eggs & A Liter of Moba juice (USS Thor)|resupply mission]] for the colony of New Bajor in the gamma quadrant. All was not as it seemed however and the Thor uncovered corruption of the planet's government which was causing the destruction of the planet's agriculture. Wes Greaves played an important role in helping collect samples of a virus ravaging the planet's crops and eventually he effected the arrest of the planet's governor.  With the virus safely erradicated and corruption rooted out of the government of New Bajor, the crew took shore leave on the planet. Wes Greaves was promoted to Marine Captain following the mission.

 

 

 

 

 

Due to a neutronic storm that moved into the area during the exercises, both the Thor and the Nashira put in for repairs at [[Starbase 375]].  Once complete, the Thor was [[Shore leave: Starbase 375 (USS Thor)|retasked]] to transport the former crew of the [[USS Veritas]] to their new assignment at [[Amity Outpost]] in the Delta Quadrant.  With the Thor's [[Quantum Slipstream Drive]], the trip was exceptionally faster than under standard propulsion, but still took well over a month.  During the transit the crews of the Thor and Amity mingled with a great deal of off-time on the ship.  After finally arriving, Amity Station returned the favor and hosted the crew of the Thor where Wes was able to explore a cultural fair aboard the station.

 

 

The Thor was assigned to a new mission to assist with Amity's mapping of the region shortly thereafter.  A nearby system contained a significant debris field consisting of tens of thousands of ancient warships. It was known to the locals as The Graveyard. The Thor was tasked with exploring the field before departing back to the Alpha quadrant. The Thor was quickly caught in a trap however from a massive space faring species, previously undiscovered. The creature, larger than a Vesta class starship, manipulated time to hunt, using time travel to isolate its prey. The result on the Thor's crew was to throw them back and forth through time, to include when the massive battle took place.  It was discovered that the races that fought for the system long ago had put their differences aside and had trapped the giant creature in the system. The Thor was able to reverse engineer the trap and escape from the system unscathed.

 

 

Once returned to the Alpha quadrant, the Thor took on supplies and a new mission to relocated to the Gamma Quadrant and assist in establishing a Federation presence there. A small research station on Okaea had missed a check-in, so the Thor was to investigate. Upon arriving in orbit it was found that the planet's atmosphere contained a unique isotope that prevented transporters and sensors from penetrating. An away team, led by Commodore [[Aron Kells]] went to the surface to check in on the researchers. It was quickly discovered that pirates had attacked the station and were dredging the bottom of the ocean looking for something. The pirates ambushed the away team and the pirate ship ambushed the Thor before she could raise her shields, hitting an antimatter storage input port. The critical hit immediately disabled the Thor, forcing her to jettison all of her antimatter. The resulting explosion tore away a signficant section of her engineering hull and the Thor fell into the planet. Wes Greaves was in command during this and was forced to make the decision to abandon ship. He personally stayed behind to manage the atmospheric reentry and try to crash land the Thor into the ocean. Several of the other senior staff ethier chose to stay behind, or were trapped aboard for the crash landing. The Thor did manage to stay intact upon impact with the water and Wes then turned to recovery efforts and aimed to prevent the ship from sinking to the bottom.

 

After several hours the surviving crew members aboard had the Thor stabilized. The atmospheric isotope was also in the water, allowing the Thor to remain undetected and ambush the pirate ship with a single working torpedo. The hit was catastrophic and destroyed the pirate vessel, allowing the survivors of the Thor to begin full recovery efforts.  Following up on the Thor's missed check-in, another vessel, the [[USS Oumuamua]] was dispatched to the region. The Luna class recovered the Thor and towed her back to spacedock at Earth. The damage to the Thor was so great that estimates placed it in dry dock for a year to undergo repairs and refit. The majority of the senior staff, including Wes, were transferred to the Oumuamua.

|BLURB=Wes and the Vulcan doctor Alieth served together at the academy and underwent their final testing together.  Both of them were assigned to the [[Embassy of Duronis II]] and then the [[USS Thor]] together.  Despite very different personalities and a shared stubbornness, the two became quick friends and bonded over multiple missions together.  With a strong mutual respect of the other's aptitude and tenacity, the pair continue to grow close and Wes counts the woman as one of his closest friends. 

|BLURB=Sarah 'Sally' Rodriguez was one of the first Marines Wes worked closely with on Duronis II.  The young Sergeant was a firecracker who ran a tight ship in Alpha Squad.  Wes came to respect her blunt demeanor and effective leadership style with the squad.
