History:
Jayce Alexander Arygos was born to parents Stephen and Adelpha Arygos on December 5th, 2380 in Naxos City Greece on Earth. Both of Jayce's parents owned a small grocery store in the Naxos City, content to live a much simpler life than the hustle and bustle of the galactic one. During his early childhood, Jayce worked inside of the store, but his mind constantly wandered about the unknown, hearing stories from his grandfather, a retired Starfleet captain.
After his primary education, Jayce enrolled at Starfleet Academy where decided upon a degree program of Intelligence Operations, but his natural curiosity of the unknown and different species made him sneak in several Alien Studies classes. During his Warp Theory class at the Academy, Jayce was paired up with an Andorian zhen named Lissah for a midterm project. The two forged a friendship that would carry outside the class and through their Academy years, Lissah becoming Jayce's trusted friend and Advisor.
After graduating from the Academy, Jayce and Lissah were split up and stationed on different ships. Lissah was stationed aboard the USS Nebraska as a Science Officer and Jayce aboard the USS Redwood, a Nebula class star ship, under Captain Urg'v as the ships Operations Officer. After 5 years aboard the the Redwood exploring deep space, Jayce requested a transfer aboard to the Nebraska, as word had reached him that she was in need for a new Operations Officer. Jayce took over the Operations position aboard the Nebraska, Lissah had thus been promoted to Tactical Officer.
While exploring the Klingon neutral zone, the Nebraska came under attack by several bird of prey, intent on capturing the Nebraska as a trophy. The bridge was the main target, severally damaging it and injuring almost all of bridge officers during the initial attacks. Jayce, barely escaping harm during the attack, initiated a transport off the bridge to the medical bay, however a hull breach mid-beam out caused most of the bridge officers to be lost, including the captain and first officer. Lissah, luckily, was able to be beamed out, however in severe condition. With the help of the remaining crew, Jayce was able to repel Klingon borders and establish control over the ship from the battle bridge, battling and defeating the remaining Klingon before escaping to warp.
After a lengthy limp home back to Earth, Jayce and the crew of the Nebraska spent quite some time in the dry docks as the Nebraska was pieced back together. During this time, Jayce meet a former crewmen to his grandfather, Rear Admiral Cortland, who took a hunch with the young man and took a risk. He transported Jayce to the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards to view the construction of several ships under the Saturn Project, a set of advanced deep space fleet escorts. Rear Admiral Cortland expressed his desire to bring Jayce to the Saturn Project to help test these new prototype ships, in which Jayce happily agreed, knowing the honor and prestige to be the captain of a prototype ship. After several months of briefings and training, Jayce was given the command of the first Saturn Project prototype ship, the USS Saturn. To fill his crew, Jayce selected some of the brightest scientific minds to man her, and to a surprise to no one, assigned Lissah to the USS Saturn's first officer.
During the shakedown tour of the USS Saturn, Jayce experienced many issues with his new ship. Several critical design flaws caused the operation of the USS Saturn to be severally hampered, enough so that after a length talk with his chief engineer and ship designer, Lieutenant Commander L'Ran, the ship was recalled back to Utopia Plantia for reevaluation. This reevaluation, however, did not go well for the USS Saturn, and was decided to scrap her entirely in hopes that the future phase 2 ship would have better results.
After a few months of downtime, the USS Tethys, Saturn Project's Phase 2 ship, was finally commissioned and assigned to the Jayce, in hopes that he would have better luck with this ship. A little leery with this ship, Jayce was pleasantly surprised at how efficient and improved the second ship was. After a quick stress test, Rear Admiral Cortland assigned the Jayce to take the USS Tethys to the Borg battle fleet, in hopes of giving the Tethys a proper shake down.
Personality:
Jayce is a rather cool headed captain, his temper rarely flaring unless truely provoked. He takes the time to get to know his bridge officers and crew the best he can, trying to figure out how each one of them ticks. While he is pretty friendly, he requires only the absolute best and most diligant work from his crew, not taking a no for an answer. He has also been known to crack a great many jokes while on the bridge.
Hobbies:
Jayce has a strong fascination with fish and aquatic life, mostly of the salt water variety. He has outfitted a small storage area aboard the USS Tethys as a holding facility for many different marine species from Earth, and has 2 shows tanks in his ready room, and one in his quarters.
Whenever he gets a change to return to Earth, he has been known to take several days to go to the South Pacific and scuba dive, looking for strange and interesting new specimens for his tanks. He has devise small transporter devices to attach to the things he finds, and transport them to the tanks without hurting, scaring or stressing the specimens.
