Editing Chance Raschen (section)

===Starfleet History===

When he enrolled into the academy at age 34, Chance was able to receive credit for the civilian Crewman and the Merchant Vessel Master licenses that he received from Hardy-Knox University, plus credit for his wartime experience and record.  As a result, Chance only really had to attend the ‘fourth year’ of the academy, which he used to study military tactics. He also managed to maintain possession of his ship (Star Hawk); this helped make it possible for Chance to rapidly meet all of his field training requirements by taking part in various kinds of missions during school breaks. It also earned him extra income as well. 

Once in the academy, D’rajevon was able to present Chance, the Stellar Pilgrim, with a message signed by President Doenitz ordering him to take charge of a team assigned to capture a warship belonging to the 52nd and proceed with it to Bajor.  After having had the dubious honor of graduating with the lowest passing GPA in academy history, Chance was assigned to the U.S.S. Dennison as an Operations Officer. 

During his first few weeks on the USS Dennison, Chance reconsidered his position in the civil war and discovered that the rest of his team did as well. They just weren’t sure how to go about it. When the Dennison pulled into Starbase Geneva, and after being promoted to Ensign (S.G.) at a late night meeting, Chance and his confederates managed to capture the ship along with the captain and command staff without any casualties.  Minutes later, after announcing the groups desire to defect to the 52nd Fleet; Chance surrendered the Dennison back to the rightful captain and released the rest of his prisoners. 

Chance was arrested and charged with Mutiny and Treason. Early the next morning, he was found guilty by a drumhead Courts-Marshall and was sentenced to 2 years probation, due to the pending battle for sector 001. Less than a week later, the civil war was over and Chance was given a choice to remain in Starfleet or be sent to prison for murder, treason, mutiny, piracy, and profiteering. Needless to say, he agreed to stay in Starfleet.  On Stardate 2408.01.09, Raschen accepted a temporary reduction in rank in order to facilitate his request for transfer to USS Rosenante and a clean slate to restart his Starfleet career. 

After his 3rd week alone on his jaunt in the Star Hawk to meet up with the Rosenante, Chance responded to a distress signal from a civilian freighter in the Davros System. Upon coming out of warp, he was attacked by 7 ships of unknown origin. Using pirate like tactics, he managed to damage 2 of the ships; the first withdrew from the engagement and the second followed the Star Hawk into a planetary gravity well and was destroyed. The Star Hawk was also lost to the gravity well, but not before Chance was rescued by the USS Rosenante. 

In the "Letters-of-Marque'" mission, Chance introduced some of his shipmates to his unsavory past, and his grandfather (Easy Ed), while within the relms of the Orion Syndicate to rescue Prince Khamal of the Cartenian Commonwealth, thus ending a four-hundred year long war.
