Family History:

• Grandfather (Edward “Easy Ed” Raschen) is a retired bounty hunter, but is currently owner of, and a consultant for Rash-1 Industries to shipyards throughout the Federation about small combat craft.
• Father (Charles Tamblyn) was captured and executed as a federation spy on Romulus.
• Mother (Margaret) is a civil engineer who does consulting work with her father Ed.
• Aunt (Taylor Raschen) is President/CEO of Rash-1 Industries, and runs the company from the family’s ranch in Texas, on Earth.
• Born Chance Tamblyn, he changed his last name when he became a privateer in order to help better protect his family. Taking the Romanesque’ name “Temerarious” was the suggestion of a female Romulan Centurion he became involved with during his travels before the war. They became engaged shortly before her death 1 year into the war.

Pre-Starfleet History: After being denied entrance into Starfleet Academy because of who his grandfather and father were, Chance was accepted into the University of Hardknox. Upon graduation he received a commission from Rash-1 Industries as First Mate onboard the merchantman ship ROUGH RIDER. With the outbreak of the Federation-Cardassian War, Chance petitioned to become a privateer for the Federation. 45 days into the Cardassian War, he was awarded the rank of Brevet-Captain and a Letter-of-Marque’ from the Federation Counsel which commissioned him to transport (smuggle) supplies and re-enforcements to Starfleet Intelligence units, Black-Ops Marines, and local resistance fighters behind enemy lines; perform support operations for such units as needed; and capture or destroy enemy supply ships/convoys and harass enemy patrols by whatever means necessary. Upon receiving his commission, Temerarious immediately acquired a ship, the STAR HAWK (see notes for ship details). The Privateers were a group civilian starship captains with ships and crews of various sizes, and abilities that worked together on many of the Federation’s more clandestine interests of the war, and were used in many of Starfleet’s larger military operations as well. During wartime support operations Temerarious used the STAR HAWK, as a scout ship, landing and extraction craft, air support, and for medical evacuation of wounded troops. Most operations consisted of working with other Privateer vessels to attack enemy starships. In the final days of the Federation-Cardassian War, the Starfleet Admiralty invited members of the Privateers, captains and crewmembers alike, to join Starfleet. Brevet-Captain Chance Temerarious considered and accepted the invitation; but was dubious as to the stability and merits of the Federation in the post-war galaxy. Yet, while accepted into Starfleet, Temerarious continued to maintain ownership/control of his ship and Letter-of-Marque. This allowed him to take part in “peacekeeping” operations for Starfleet Intelligence Units, Black-Ops Marines during school breaks, which counted towards his field training requirements.

Starfleet History: 2407.02.15 Operations Officer, U.S.S. DENNISON Notes: Temerarious is defined as reckless. Captain Davis of the U.S.S. DENNISON has allowed Chance to keep his ship, and Letter-of-Marque.
