Brian Rogers
Brian Rogers is a Starfleet Officer, currently serving has a counselor onboard the USS Boudicca.
Pre-Starfleet Life
Brian Rogers was born on Luna, in Armstrong City in the year 2383, to Captain Robert Rogers III and Lt. Commander Lindsay Rogers (nee Bach). Mrs. Rogers stayed on Luna with young Brian while Captain Rogers and his older brother and two sisters returned to the USS Wilson and continued on their mission.
Months later, Brian and his mother rejoined his family onboard the USS Wilson. The Rogers family had an extensive history in Starfleet, almost all of them serving on the bridge of a starship. The eldest male was always named Robert Rogers, and Brian's older brother was in fact, Robert Rogers IV. He was also related to an Admiral James Rogers, who led Starfleet during the Romuluan War.
Brian however, was sickened by all the talk over his pedigree. While his parents often broke the rules about children on the bridge and allowed Brian and his siblings on the bridge, Brian was more fascinated with sickbay, and the ship's medical staff. He saw them has life savers, and a very vital part of the operations of a starship.
When Brian turned 16, he returned to Luna, this time, alone and began studying at the prestigious Luna Academy, a private boarding school that was famous for grooming young captains and command officers in Starfleet. Brian barely passed with a diploma from Luna Academy, and almost flunked out several times.
At age 18, he took the Starfleet Academy entrance exam, and gained entrance into the school. Although, he angered his parents when he choose a Medical Major, instead of Operations or Tactical, which were more direct paths to a command opportunity.
During his time at the Academy, Brian was a 'big man on campus' has he found young female cadets were impressed by his "famous" family history. However, when the Academy commandant threatened to kick him out of the school for bad grades and many reports of bad behavior and breaking the honor code, he straightened out and stopped his 'wild' ways.
Brian found that a way to focus his energy was in the sport of hockey, where he developed a hard workout regime on himself to keep himself in shape for the cut throat Earth Collegiate Hockey League. He was named team captain of the Starfleet Academy-San Francisco hockey team. He did not want the position just because he was the best player; he wanted another player to have it because he was the best leader. Later that year, Brian helped SA:SF win a hockey title against the hockey dynasty, and SA:SF rivals, Starfleet Academy-Toronto.
Brian passed his Medical exam with flying colors and was shipped off to Starbase Geneva.
Serving on board Starbase Geneva
Brian arrived onboard Starbase Geneva and met with Captain Lise Arianna, who welcomed him aboard. He was ordered to go to a costume party where he first met Dr. Kaitlyn Mackenzie who he has an infatuation on. He also met his future friend, Paul Casely.
Shortly after Brian arrived on Geneva, an odd planet appeared seemingly out of no where. The station's crew boarded the USS Nautilus and went to the planet, but found a shield. Back on Geneva, has the engineering crew worked to lower the shield, Brian worked with young engineer, Jason Miller to create a device to speak with the people, who spoke pre-warp English. Brian then went with Casely and other staff members to the planet, where he aided Casely, and later earned a medal (see below) and a promotion to full Ensign.

However, after the mission, it was revealed to Casely and Dr. Mackenzie that Brian had a serious drug addiction to Cordazine. Under their supervision, they helpped Brian overcome this horrible vice. Casely began giving Brian marital arts lessons to clam him, and Command Training to give his life purpose, and also to groom him for a possible career in command. This is when it is believed that Casely and Rogers became friends, has much has rank would alllow.
However, it seems that Brian would need his training, has a few days later, Casely was the target of a terrorist bombing on Geneva, and Brian, who was acting third officer, was trust into command of the station. He was adviced by Mackenzie, who had prior command experance and by Admiral Gr'iann, a loveable Caitian who was Fleet Second Officer. Brian hoped that it would be an easy time in command, but the USS Montcalm appeared, a ship loyal to Admiral Doentiz that was seriously damaged and requested him. Brian made his first heavy command decision of his career has he sent engineering and medical teams onboard the USS Montcalm to repair the ship. Brian was worried about sending his friends into the heart of an enemy ship, and sure enough, some members of the Montcalm were planning to take the Geneva members hostage, but Rogers sent of a Marine team to save them. After this, Brian was promoted to Lieutenant, junior grade.
Then, a group of Cardassians arrived who acted odd, and an anti-human terrorist group attacked and Brian and Ensign Samantha Chandler investigated. Shortly after, war was declared, and the senior staff of Starbase Geneva were sent to the USS Boudicca.
Serving onboard the USS Boudicca
Disaster struck before they could reach the Boudicca, and the senior crew crashed onboard a planet. It appeared the USS Boudicca has been investigating this planet, and now a large away team was also trapped. Brian worked in the medical center with Dr. Mor'rel, and later in an attack force with his mentor, Commander Casely. Soon, the Boudicca crew was rescued and Brian joined his new ship.
Onboard the ship, Casely (who was promoted to StratOps Officer for the Task Force Flagship Fleet) organized a holodeck simulation with the old Boudicca crew and the new transfers from Geneva. The simulation was a success and everybody began working together.
Although the future is not set, a young officer with Brian's talent, the future is sure a place with many possiblities if he keeps his mind focused.
