Editing Susan Rivers (section)

===Starfleet Academy===

Her three years at the Academy were notable for two things: her constant clashes with authority and her equally constant high marks in all her classes. She was on average in the top five students of her year each year, and graduated with honours. For three successive years she held the title for marksmanship, and has kept up her practice. She also gained high grades in hand-to-hand combat, with a distinction in unarmed combat. She has learned to control her temper on ''most'' occasions. 

Whilst at the Academy she met and fell in love with another cadet, Steve Zintel, a Trill. She was extremely happy and had requested that she be assigned to the same ship Zintel was assigned to, the USS Spectre. Then she found out that Steve was cheating on her with other women, and Susan immediately broke off the relationship and requested a change of assignment, which was granted.

She was assigned as OPS officer with the rank of Ensign(jg)to the [[USS Nimitz]], which had just been launched under the command of Captain Aragorn.
