Family History


Here is a condensed history of the Prominent 'Bracken' Family, taken from assorted files, declassified where appropriate, and presented for information. Largely beginning with the marriage of Kingsley Bracken to Leola duBois, the Bracken Family has a long history of devoted service in StarFleet.

Leola Bracken


Born on the 4th August 2363, Leola duBois was a reckless, untamed teenager, given to revolt and ill-discipline. One afternoon, based on nothing more than a dare from one of her friends, she signed up to the StarFleet Marine Corps, there discovering a world, that she could truly be herself in, and once adjusted and flourishing in the rigid discipline rose very rapidly through the ranks. Kingsley Bracken, then a young Crewman met a beautiful young Marine corporal and soon started dating seriously. As both of their enlisted careers began to flourish, so did their love, and they were married soon after. After being promoted to the rank of Master Sergeant Leola Bracken and Senior Chief Petty Officer Kingsley Bracken]] announced her pregnancy with their daughter Dale Bracken.

After a standard Maternity Leave, Leola Bracken returned to Active service, and gained promotion to Sergeant Major where she gained the attention of Fleet Intel. When Dale Bracken was only seven years old, Leola Bracken staged her death, and took up a position with Intel as part of a deep undercover BlackOps cell.

At the age of 50, Leola returned to her Marine unit as MXO 2L, and was to be posted to the USS Dennison, somewhat ironically under the Command of her Estranged daughter, now Second Officer on the Vessel.


Dale Bracken


Born on the 3rd of February 2385, her father, a Master Chief Petty Officer in Engineering and her mother a Marine Sergeant Major, Dale's early life was one of Starships, and military-like routine. The young Dale loved life aboard the Fleet ship that she called home, until tragedy struck one morning. Whilst en-route to Sickbay for an emergency appendectomy, a hull breach struck the ship, apparently killing her mother instantly. After a succesful recovery to the operation, which left a scar, her father Kingsley Bracken eventually resigned from the Fleet, finding no love for it without his wife. Instead, he took over the running of the family vineyard, in Tuscanny, Earth, following the death of a distant relative.
Dale, now growing, and becoming a teenager, at first hated, but eventually grew to love the surroundings, finding it inspirational to walk so closely to the birthplace of the renaissance, near 1000 years earlier. IT was here that she discovered a love of science, especially Physics, and decided eventually, with her father's blessing, to enter the Academy, selecting to double major in Astrophysics and Stellar Chemistry.
