Star Trek RPG: Vice Admiral Fowler Garrett's House on Earth

I designed my Star Trek character's house on Earth with TinkerCad. Check out images and the complete character.

Dr. Moldak, Chief Medical Officer - USS Enterprise I


This is the other character I play in our Star Trek: The Role-Playing FASA campaign.

Dr. Moldak (mol-dak)

Benzite, Male, Age: 50

Rank: Commander

Str: 46
End: 66
Int: 99
Dex: 61
Cha: 31
Luc: 01
Psi: 01

Benzites come from the planet Benzar and have two opposable thumbs on each hand. Benzites of the same "geostructure" look identical. They've done a lot of genetic tinkering with their DNA to enable them to survive. A breathing device is worn on the chest and when taking a deep breath mist is visible.

Dr. Moldak is a human medical specialist (90) and a Exobiologist (91) as well as a surgeon (84) and Pathologist (71).

To his great shame he spent 2.5 years as a midshipman unable to pass a cadet cruise. He never talks about this willlingly and only with great shame. Though, this time was very helpful for him to learn the culture of Starfleet and humans. Command recognized this and gave him the time he needed. But he thought he was failing and at one point almost resigned.

After he began his tours he applied himself harder than ever to his job and won four Outstanding and one Excellent OERs from his commanders before being assigned to the Enterprise.

He has won eight medals including the Purple Heart with his hightest medal being The Legion of Merit.

He plays the Benzite Water Flute (8) and dabbles with sculpting (10) and writing (22). He likes Greek Mythology (3) and cooking (10).

He has never married or had children. (Though, he has donated DNA to the geostructure three times, so in reality he could have hundreds of children.) Beyond kid stuff, he was in a serious relationship with a Vulcan female (another officer) for several years. Their focus on their careers split them up. Only shipmates he had at the time or close friends know about this chapter of his life. He still loves her deeply.

He doesn't become angry easy. Usually, if he gets angry it's because of injustice or the inability to help someone who is injured or sick. His most common reaction to difficult situations is depression. He is mostly happy and secure. Though, if something upsets him he's most likely to withdraw not enter into conflict.

Parents

Father - Garrett, David James (Human, Australian Descent)



Mother - Lyinneran (Deltan)



His father made a fortune investing in bio-techs. He pooled all his money and resources and purchased the mineral rights for a huge portion of the Ahnert-Rohlfs Belt in the Independence Core System. He formed Garrett Rare Earths and began mining the claim himself about two years before Fowler was born.

Healthy and extraordinarily active at 82, David still heads Garrett Rare Earths which has grown into a sizable corporation worth roughly 3.8 billion credits. It is well known that David wishes Fowler to resign Starfleet, so he may take over the reins of Garrett Rare Earths. He’s also suggested that if Fowler doesn’t want to run the company, he should enter politics.

After the divorce, Fowler’s mother returned to her home world. She held several diplomatic positions as well as several corporate ones. She now lives in semi-retirement doing consulting work as a telepath for DelaGen Corp.

Starfleet Academy Leadership Structure



Ex astris, scientia - "From the stars, knowledge."
 - Starfleet Academy Motto


Superintendent:

Usually held by a Vice Admiral. Duties: The equivalent of a college president. He oversees all of the school's functions.

Commandant of Cadets:

Usually held by a Captain. Duties: The Commandant of Cadets is responsible for the professional development and day-to-day activities of all Cadets. His title equates to the Dean of Students at a civilian university.


Academic Dean: 

Held by a civilian. Duties: Oversees the academic program and the faculty.


Board of Advisors:

Usually retired Admirals and sitting politicians. The Federation President chooses 6 members. The Federation Vice President chooses 3 members. Starfleet C-in-C chooses 2 members. The Federation Council Pro Tempore chooses 4 members. There a total of 15 members.


The Academy command structure is never really explained, so I took the structure from the US Naval Academy. I use this when playing FASA Star Trek: The Role-Playing Game.
