'''Joran Matthew Brownlee''' was the [[Second Officer]] and [[Chief Science Officer]] of the [[USS Paladin (NCC-52776)|USS ''Paladin'' (NCC-52776)]] during the [[Federation Civil War]] of the early [[25th century]]. As his ship, and his homeworld, were both on the side of [[Robert LoDona|Admiral Robert LoDona]], Joran served of his own free will the so called "de-facto" side of the conflict. | |||

Joran Matthew Brownlee was born on November 12, 2380, in [[Vulcana Regar]] on [[Vulcan (planet)]]. His father, [[Commander]] [[Matthew Brownlee]], was in [[Starfleet]] himself, and so Joran was a military brat from the get-go. At the age of about 1 month, his father's tour on [[Vulcan (planet)]] ended, and he moved to the [[USS Vanderbilt (NCC-71453)|USS ''Vanderbilt'' (NCC-71453)]], where his father served as first officer for about a year. In early 2382, he transferred to [[Earth]], where he had a position supervising the shipyards in geosynchronous orbit above the city of [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]], [[Earth]]. | |||
Soon after moving to a suburb outside of [[Boston]], disaster struck the Brownlee family. In the midst of the great joy of the birth of [[Christian Soval Brownlee]], there was great sadness over the loss of [[Nara]], who had died in childbirth. Matthew, who was half-[[Vulcan]], suffered a complete [[emotional breakdown]] and never bothered to teach his young sons the practice of [[Vulcan]] [[Kolinahr]], a training that was essential to [[Vulcan emotional suppression]]. Because of this, the boys began to emulate the behaviors of others in the town of 200,000 in which they lived, the majority of whom were [[Human]]. | |||

</table>In school, Joran was always a popular and friendly student; a trend that continued through high school. When he graduated high school in [[2398]], he applied and was accepted to the [[Vulcan Science Academy]], where he wanted to study to pursue a carreer in [[exo-biology]]. This did not las very long, however. Many of the other students at the school made very insulting comments towards him, as he did not practice [[Kolinahr]] as the rest of them did. This resulted in many fights, the last of which resulted in a badly broken arm. After that incident, he had had enough, and dropped out of the [[Vulcan Science Academy]] in the spring of 2400. He applied to [[Starfleet Academy]] soon after dropping out, and was accepted for the start of the 2400-2401 school year. | |||

Life at [[Starfleet Academy]] was much more pleasing to Joran than life at the [[Vulcan Science Academy]] had been. This may have had to do with the fact that his roommate was one Joseph Ross, an old friend from his hometown, and the one Joran considered his best friend. Rooming with his best friend wasn't the only thing to look forward to for Joran however. In late 2402, Joran met and fell in love with then plebe cadet [[Rana Apar]]. This relationship has stood the test of time and they are now engaged and serving onboard the [[USS Paladin (NCC-52776)|USS ''Paladin'' (NCC-52776)]] together. | Life at [[Starfleet Academy]] was much more pleasing to Joran than life at the [[Vulcan Science Academy]] had been.

Joran, during his time at [[Starfleet Academy]], began to come out from behind the protective shield he had made for himself during his time at the [[Vulcan Science Academy]]. It wasn't until after graduation in May 2404 that the process was finally finished. In September 2404, he entered Advanced Training at the [[Resorte Advanced Training Facility]]. Later in life, he described it as the most intense two years of his life. However, during this time, his mentor, Lieutenant Willie T. McGruff guided him along, and Joran has credited him as the one that finally pulled him out from behind his protective shield. | Joran, during his time at [[Starfleet Academy]], began to come out from behind the protective shield he had made for himself during his time at the [[Vulcan Science Academy]].

Joran reached [[Starbase Geneva (NCC-85745)|Starbase ''Geneva'' (NCC-85745)]] in the middle of a crisis situation, involving a [[T'Kon]] probe that the station had encountered while en-route through the [[Subspace River]]. Once the crisis was resolved, however, he, along with [[Captain]] [[Vladek Rofellian]], were the only two to remember the incident due to the timeline resetting. | |||
Two months later, he endured another station-wide crisis when the station was bombed by [[Ferengi]] terrorists in mid-2406, damaging the station critically in three locations, and resulted in the capture and death of a respresentative of [[Starfleet Command]]. Joran and the rest of the crew were able to trace the terrorists to belligerent [[Orion]] activity in the area, and Rofellian ordered the pursuit of the terrorists, and was able to defuse the bomb that could have exploded into an all-out war with the [[Orion Syndicate]].

Leading a battle group and with the help of the [[Dragon Slayer]] and [[Fighting Whatever]] fighter squadrons, the system was easily taken.

After weighing the risks, it was decided to send two [[away team]]s to the ship, which was wracked with [[spacial distorsions]]. After exploring the ship, they came into contact with aliens taking refuge on the ship; the [[Voradian]]s. With Joran's help, they restarted the computer and the [[Voradian]]s went on their way. Joran downloaded and translated the database, and found that the ship was called the [[QHL Sindilindelë|QHL ''Sindilindelë'']], and had been built centuries ago by a people that had been influence strongly by the [[El-Aurian]]s. Not much is known about this enigmatic race as of yet, however. | ||
Soon after the end of the mission, the [[USS Paladin (NCC-52776)|''Paladin'']]'s [[Second Officer]], [[T'Vhor]], transferred off the ship to accept a position as [[First Officer]].

The current mission he is on is a combat run on [[Starbase 234]], an important outpost to [[Admiral Doenitz]]. The complication is that the star in the system creates a major [[gravity well]] and there will be problems when it finally comes time for the battle. | |||

Joran and [[Christian Soval Brownlee|Christian]] have been close their entire lives. Although almost two years separate them in age, they feel and function like a set of twins. Joran says that his correspondence with [[Christian Soval Brownlee|Christian]] was the only thing that got him through the two years he spent at the [[Vulcan Science Academy]], as they provide each other emotional support when it is needed. Of course, they also have their moments of what is sarcastically known as "brotherly love," but they always know that they are just joking around with each other. When he went to [[Starfleet Academy]] straight out of high school, [[Christian Soval Brownlee|Christian]] followed in his brother's footsteps, but reversed the major and minor that Joran was taking; that way they could help each other out with their minors. Their relationship can easily be called the optimal sibling relationship; they are completely in-tune with one-another. | |||
