Francisco Mendez
Francisco "Paco" Mendez is an assistant engineer onboard the USS Nimiz.
Pre-Starfleet Life
Mendez was born in a region on Earth] called Mexico. His family was mostly galactic traders who deal in the trading of important raw materals. He often spend time at his Grandfather's house, when Mexican Brown Bears (a subspecies of the Kodiak Bear) would come near this house. (This would later play a role when Mendez meets Lt. Zzt.)
Mendez was a very lazy child, and didn't really know what to do in his life. He liked problem sloving things, and thought about being a repair engineer for a galactic trading company, but choose to join Starfleet because he would have access to newer, better and cleaner technology.

Mendez barely passed the entrance exam with the lowest possible passing grade. His Academy record has many accounds of reports of fighting with other students. Also, he harrassed female cadets. He was almost expelled several times, the only thing keeping him in the Academy was his good grades, mostly in classes that required high levels of problem sloving.
Despite his problems, he graduated the Academy, class of 2401, and was given the rank of Ensign (Junior Grade) and sent to work on the USS Rednez.
Serving on board the USS Rednez
Mendez was assigned to the Rednez and worked hard, even though he was passed over for promotion. During his time on the Rednez, he grew to become annoyed with his the Chief Engineering and CO, for passing him over. He grew to have displaced anger at all people ranked above him.

He was thrown in the brig for 30 days when for repeated tardyness, althought personal logs from the various Rednez crewmembers say that Mendez made a romantic advance on the captain's 19 year old daughter who was visiting the ship. Shortly there after, Mendez was sent to another ship, the USS Larson.
